Gymnasium last night, winning by score
Of Is 70 9
Despite the fact that the Cadets had a
good lead throughout. the Engineers
played a plucky game and deserved a
better fate Their team work and pass
ing was exceptionally good They had
many opportunities TO score, but on
nearly every occasion the ball either went
too wide OF too low.
The Corcorans. on the other hand,
played consistently from start 10 finish
and had things their own way. Their
team work and throwing the ball into the
baskets was about as good as anything
seen in the National Guard Gymnasium
this season
The first half proved 10 be the best or
the two. In the session both sides worked
hard. the Engineers covering I'D finely.
The session ended with the score stand
ing Il to I In favor OF the Cadets.
N the second half the Engineers FIVE
paid less attention TO covering up and
tried more for goals. The Cadets took
advantage OF this, and in consequence
basketed the ball fourteen times, while
the Engineers could only get the bail
in their basket twice on tries from the
floor and once on a free toss.
Coleman, Coliingsworth. and BOntz
played fast offensive games. Coleman,
who only went in for the second half,
put the ball in the basket seven times.
Bontz and Collingsworth had five goals
each 10 their credit. The defensive work
Of Steckler. for the losers. was good.

The Nations Tribute to
"a Great White SOUL" a
"Humanized lnterpreta-
ton Of the Golden Rule"

HE hour when a great white
soul comes to earth should be
held in perpetual memory. The
soil his foot first presses il
hallowed ground. Time and place are
never so sacred as when they mark
the advent Of those sent Of God to help
men. They form the links that bind
heaven and earth. They lend an added
luster to every time and every place,
just as one who wears the human form
worthily confers nobility on all of the
sons Of men.
Abraham Lincoln made every one in
human guise more precious. He re-
minds us of our better selves. He was
symbol Of the homeliest and common
est, yet Of the highest and rarest hui
man things. We cannot think OF him
without becoming more loving, more
charitable and more true. There is not
an element in him that does not make
one better to contemplate. The pure In
heart can read oil Of his life without
blush, and the gentlest and most ti1nid
can view his every deed without a
shudder. Lincoln had goodness with
out self righteousness, spirituality
without can't intellectually without
dogmatism and power without tyran-
ny. He had most of the talents with
none Of their abuses. There are many
great men we can admire and respect,

to secure. The prediction that il will

To be the best possible outlet for its
coal and products Eastward. (1his link

gable Harris & Black have finished or
nearly So. the raising OF the super
structure. aud iootmen have passed for
