MINOR TEAMS
MUCH BETTER
NEW FOOTBALL RULES HELP
SMALLER TEAMS IN PLAYING
AGAINST LARGER ONES-RE
VIEW OF EASTERN FOOTBALL.

New York, Dec 11.--Perhaps the
chief thing demonstrated by this
years football contests was that the
so-called minor colleger are no long
er to be despised. Heretofore the
big teams, such as Yale. Harvard
and Pennsylvania. usually have toy
ed with their smaller opponents. rum
ming up points almost at will.
Now all this Is changed. The
Navy tied Harvard and Brown held
thee Crimson to score of 6 to 2 this
fall: Dartmouth defeated Princeton,
while Syracuse and West Point held
the men from New Jersey to 0 to 0
ties and Yale was able to score one
touchdown against Syracuse and
the Army. These are few instan-
ces of the strength of the lesser ell
evens
Another fact brought out is that
new foo ball has come to stay. As
now played the game Is more open
and hence more interesting to the
spectator and less harmful to the
players. Punting, field and goa
kicking and trick plays have reached
a greater development than ever be-
fore, while the forward pass, an In
novation of the new game, Is gener
ally admitted to be one of the pref
test plays of football Many of tn,
bitter opponents of the new football
at is inception two years ago, arr
now among It's most ardent support
ers In the minds of the experts II
has ceased to be an experiment.
The ranking of the Eastern teams
! this year, as always. is difficult and
| largely matter of public opinion
There can be little dispute. however
that the choice of the best clever
lies between Pennsylvania and Har
ward, both Of which went through
the season indicated.
There is little basis for compari
son between these two. The Quaker
have veteran team and from TIL
records of the season, showed create
knowledge of the new game than tn
men from Cambridge. but whethe
this proficience would have availe'
them in an actual contest with tn
Crimson team 1t is hard to say
Probably most critics will rank a

BASE BALL TEAM
TO the ORIENT

Santa Clara, Dec. 1.-THE pros
poets that the 1909 Santa Clara Cor.
lege baseball team will invade the
Orient next summer are good. While
arrangements have not been comp, ct
Ell. it Is nearly a nasured fact that
the boys will depart in the early
summer for Japan, where several in
'ducements have been offered. Many
universities in the large cities have
written manager Brown asking him
to bring his team over for summer
games. Among these are Waseda
University and also Kelo University
at Toxic.
Last summer the team went to the
Hawaiian islands
Several of last seasons men will
be in the 1909 team. The two
Schaffers and Charles Fernie will re.
turn, and the boys are eager ia
take the Japanese trip.
A brief letter was received by
Fernie a few days ago from NJ Koy-
anna, student of Kelo University
stating that he hoped the American
team would make the trip. Mr.
Koyama captained the Japanese BASE
ball team which met Santa Clara OF
the Hawaiian islands last June.

down the front steps. The
~ very beauty of the September
day offended him. At the
curb. his chauffeur sprang to open
the door of the auto, but Singleton
shook his head.
Take the car back to the garage, -
ne said, shortly. II shall not need it
this morning"
He had asked Elizabeth to go
with him on an auto run, but she
had staid home this summer to de-
vote herself to her settlement work
and all through the hot weeks she
had toiled to make the lives of the
poor more comfortable, resolutely
turning her back upon I >mny Sin
gleton's temptations.
Elizabeth needed a rest. He could
see that she was growing thinner and
whittier day by day, but when he
urged these facts, it had merely end
ed in the inevitable quarrel that had
arisen whenever her charitable work
came under discussion.
81 am going to stay by my charge, -
she declared. There is a pleasure in
tightening the burdens of these poor
people that you never can under
stand. 1 don't believe that you ever
gave a thought to making anyone
else happy"
He was thinking of her words now.
Perhaps Elizabeth was right. She
need not have been so emphatic
about it, but still she was right.
Yes, Elizabeth was right. He had
never put himself to personal incon-
venience to give pleasure to others
therefore he could not understand
why she should labor through the
hot summer to save the lives of the
dirty little babies in the squalid tene-
merits

and cattle on a thousand hills, and
there were gardens and vineyards
everywhere. He had been appointed
to come among the sterile mountains
to lead band into the chosen land.
He appealed to his hearers physi-
cally and mentally. He set them tC
longing and to -vOndering and L
wishing to hear more, and then he
stopped for the time being. He lac
simply mentioned Mornonism. Later
on he would preach it.
In the mountains they judge of a
mans religion by his actions. Elder
Clyde was beyond criticism. He
praised and he reproved, and always
and ever he sang the praises of Him
who died for men.
The women liked him and the men
stood in awe of him. At their homes
he appealed to their cupidity as we'll
as to their mentality. The Lord had
wished His chosen people to prosper
He had therefore guided them to
where the land needed but to be
scratched with the pillow to produce

Now and then a circuit rider came
along who warned the people against
MOrmOnism. But if the elder argued
at all, he had the best of it. He was
a well read and educated man. and
his speech was soft and flowed like a
river.
The time came when he dared
speak his mind more plainly to men
and women, though to only a few of
the latter To the old and bent and
crippled he said nothing. To those

not come too close.
When all was ready the plan
switches were applied They weltet

and coaxed and threatened and ap

until he tainted and hung a dea'
weight on the rope.
Then his clothing was brough
out, water dashed into his face u
revive him. and as he was unbouni
he staggered down the mountain
road, TO be seen no more. Then tn
women nodded to each other, an
each went her way.
On the afternoon of the next da!
