nal Secret Practice on
Franklin Field.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26-Pennsyl-
vania's football team yesterday lined
UP for the last time this season in reg
ular secret practice on Franklin Field.
The team after supper packed up
and left for Winsiow Junction. n J.,
where it will remain till the morning
Of the game on Thanksgiving Day. All
the players and the entire squad OF
coaches and substitutes left for the
balmy Jersey air in the best Of health.
The men came out Of the Michigan

will fare as well at the hands OF the
IIhacans is doubtful.
The practice consisted In a long
signal drill. In which the entire squad
took part Coaches Torrey and vii
liams took charge Of the varsity, while
Coach Kase had the substitutes Both
teams showed great Improvement over
the work OF last week. yet the work
was not all that was desired Despite
the appeal of the coaches. fumbles and
little mix-ups occurred. Kenneth ran
the varsity. while his rival, Bunny
Reagan. drove the substitutes. The
latter team exhibited far more life and
spirit than did the regulars.
Smltn promoted
One new man has been transferred
% the varsity squad, and he is the
0 scrub guard. Frank Smith, who has
been q member of the scrub team for
the last two years. Smiths play at
the start OF the season was Of first

from attending the practice regularly.
Smith has been showing up well against

was loaded UP.
The first race OF the day gave the
bookies a body blow. and there was
much squirming when Yaddo. at all
sorts OF odds from 20 to 1 to Is TO l. came
home in front. This was one OF the best
things OF the meeting and was kept so
well under cover that not a soul outside
Of those in the know tumbled. When
the odds were marked up. the money
was sent in so carefully that the bookies
were loaded up before they realized 1t.

Every woman is a priest, offering sacri-
hceS of love on the altar of her heart The
family is no better than the individual, the
state no better than the families who COM
pose 1t and the country no better than the
states that make it up. So long as the
WomanS domain is the home and home in
fuence is the strongest of all Influences
the woman should be all that is noble and
IN quiet way diffuse goodness through
out the world
DR.. Shahan declared that the interest of
almost the entire country centers at this
time upon the thousands of graduates in
the schools and colleges throughout the
land. He reminded the graduates of the
great possibilities before them. do moth
ing" said DR.. Shahan, that may tend to
unsex you, else in after years your lives
may be filled with bitterness and remorse."

graduating class, the faculty of the
academy, headed by Sister Angelica and
the undergraduates went to communion
