One Sunday during high mass at IL in
the chapel of the little village Of Glen
gariff three ladies Of the Protestant
faith were obliged to take shelter from
one Of those heavy summer showers
which so frequently occur in the south
Of Ireland. The officiating priest,
knowing who they were and wishing
to appear respectful to them, stopped
down to his attendant or clerk, who
was on his knees, and whispered to
him, 'Three chairs for the Protestant
ladies'" The clerk mistook the words,
stood up and shouted out to the con-
gregation, Three cheers for the Prot

was a terrible war waged by the Eth

queen, something like Semiramis, who
led out her own armies and knew how
to gain a victory. But when Moses
was sent with third Egyptian army
against her he asked help of God and
managed so wisely that the queen
agreed to surrender all her forces to
him and become tributary to Egypt
provided he would marry her."

cup Of defeat and tonight her follow

defeat OF the year and she fought
hard to win. Pennsylvania did not
overwhelm her opponent as she ex-
pected. However, except for the
kicking department in the first half
Pennsylvania at all times was Cor
nell's superior. The game abounded
in open plays, long runs, and much
punting. The playing Of Miller at
quarter for Pennsylvania was the
feature Of the contest. Once he got
away for a 7s-yard run and at an
other time secured a touchdown on
the 4s-yard run. His shooting Of for
ward passes was also good.
