SPORTING NEWS NOTES

Keokuk followers Of the game of
football are interested in an important
change in the gridiron rules
made by the intercollegiate COM
mittee in which the points for
goal from the field are reduced
from four to three. The object of this
change, according to the members of
the committee, was to prevent two
goals from the field counting more
than touchdown goal. won by hard
work .4
This ruling will have more effect on
the game as played among the col
leges than among high schools the
size of the Keokuk high school. The
local team from year to year has had
no sensational kickers and the points
made in this manner have been very
few.
But among the colleges teams rely
much upon the ability and acc rate
toe of a certain star performer on
field goals, and 1t Is often that a
team will win a game on two goals
from the field, while the opposing
team made a touchdown and was the
superior with the exception of the lack
of booter.
Another change OF Importance was
one designed to prevent confusion IN
/ inflicting penalties, when two penal
ties has been incurred by one team
for the same play, by giving the OIL
tending team the option OF saying
which penalty shall be imposed
Many of the colleges OF the country
which are followers of the spring loot
ball training have received the rules
with considerable interest and Worf
has begun in the early training. coacn
es fully realize that the first nance
change will cause them to WORK har a
or to develop strong team and more
touch downs will be looked for.

The speaker said in part, My text

of the text reads: Woe to them VINO

hordsman and a fruitful gatherer and
lived in Leoka in India. Jehovah
called him to go to Bethel in Israel
and deliver a message. Amos saw the
condition of the people religiously and
politically going into state OF care

of the consciousness that means de-

Duke of Norfolk deserves to be con-
sidered one. The revenues OF plumb
cred church and monastic lands. that
have come to him by inheritance,
make him man of great wealth. and
he happens to be duke. Does that
make him an eminent Catholic? God
preserve the Church if such qualifica-
tons are sufficient to constitute man

If we go back to the 14th century
when England was entirely Catholic
and the so-called Reformation was not
dreamed of. we find that the English
invaders of Ireland passed the most
odious laws against their Irish corelig-
ionsts and hated them because they
could not conflscate their property
without resistance! The Statutes Of
Kilkenny were passed by English Cath
force them. The descendants of these
English Catholics afterwards became
Professionals and acknowledged Henry
VIII as the head of the Church and
then their hatred of the Catholic Irish
was intensified. The forefathers of
the Duke of Norfolk abandoned the old
faith like the rest Of them, but some
how or other when persecution Of
Catholics ceased, one of them crawled
back to the fold. and the present duke
is one of his descendants. But change
ture. He springs from the predatory
Normans who established feudalism in
the British islands.

AN ANeLo.NoRMAN DUKE,

II mas been frequently stated in these
columns that the Catholics Of England
have been more unfriendly to Ireland
in Its aspirations for liberty than the
| Nonconformists and Arglicans The
aristocratic English Catholics, such as
the Duke Of Norfolk, have been OBJ
stinately opposed to Home Rule and the
abolition of landlordism in 'Erin's isle,
The most strenuous opponents of the
repeal of the union between Great
Britain and Ireland. which was so
eloquently advocated by O'Connell in
his day. were English Catholics of the
type Of the Duke Of Norfolk. Because
Of their opposition to his pleas for Ire
land. O'Connell expressed his regret for
emancipating them. so as to entitle
them to seats In the British parlia-
ment after being deprived of them for
more than two hundred years.
In the days Of Parnell when boycott
ting was in vogue in Ireland, the Duke
Of Norfolk sent a Catholic Tory named
| Errington to Rome to induce the Pops
to issue an edict against it on the
ground that the ostracism of landlords
agents and their retinues in Ireland
was sin against Almighty God. So
we'll did Errington "humor the Vatican
that he partly succeeded in his mis-
sion. The Pope sent his envoy, Mgr.
Persico, to Ireland to investigate the
matter, but the Italian prelate was not
enthusiastically welcomed by the Irish
hierarchy and clergy. After a. mass

Chuch Of which they were devoted ad-
herents, his agent. Mgr. Persico left
for Italy and the Pope thereafter re-
NAMED eloquently silent upon the SUBJ
feet OF boycotting in Ireland.
At the present time the Duke Of
! Norfolk, who is the Earl Marshal of
England and ofiiciated in that capacity
at the coronation Of King Edward, is
not only opposed to Home Rule for Ire
| land and the settlement of the land
question in that country, but he is
also opposed to Lloyd Georges budget.
The Chicago Citizen says Of him:
"Norfolk's estate is made up of more
plundered church lands tnan would be

In England today. Norfolk hates the
Irish people more rancorously than
an old school Turk hates an Arme-
Man. There never was an Irish coer-
cion act he did not vote for. There
never was an Irish remedial measure
he did not vote against. How he
makes such injustice and eagerness to
Cypress and rob his fellowmen consort
