Landers Defeats Murray.

The deciding game in the contest he
tween Interior and Agriculture tB teams)
was engaged in by these players. This
entire match Was. perhaps. the most stub
bornly fought of any during the present
season Each side had scored a win and
draw before this Parks scoring for
Agriculture and Spencer for Interior
while Stephenson had drawn with Lowell
by perpetual check. 1t therefore devolved
upon Landers and Murray to bring tie
match To a definite issue. A fine game
ensued. which was marred only by a
slight slip at late stage on the part Of
the Agriculture player, whose attack had
been well conceived and executed up 70
this point. Landers now got the upper
hand, and by accurate play carried his adj
vantage to final victory. Thus. Interior
won the match by 21s to liz points and
drew level with Agriculture in the team
standing.
The summary. team standing and indi-
vidual scores down to 800 per cent are

Because of their great love Of base

make the Indian ball players spend their
summers as they were expected to do.
Those who had exceptional ability were
tempted to play professional or semi

Will Cornell Play Harva.-u.!

There is still great deal of specula-
ton In the college world as to whether
or not Harvard and Cornell will meet on
the gridiron this fall. One dispatch from
Boston was to the effect that there would
be no such game. but there is apparently
no ground for this decision as yet. What
trouble there has been in arranging
date is apparently due to the Cornell
schedule. The Ithacans used to play
Harvard years ago, but the games were
discontinued when Harvard refused to
play at Ithaca. When a game was sched-
uled last fall nothing was said about
where the return game should be played,
but it is understood that Cornell has
requested Harvard to play this year at
Ithaca and that Harvard has refused. q.
Whether or not Cornell will consent to
play IN Cambridge again will depend
upon circumstances. Cornell already has
two championship games scheduled away
from home. One is in Chicago the sec
ond Saturday of November and the other
is in Philadelphia Thanksgiving day. The
only available date for the Cornell-Har-
ward game is the first Saturday in NO
vember So IL Cornell should play In
Cambridge this would compel her to
play three championship games In less
than three weeks in as many different
cities and to travel more than three thou
sand miles. Such schedule as this Is
enough to break up any big team. and 1t
is no wonder that Cornell IS holding back
and asking for some different arrange
ment.

Interior Beats Agriculture.
The match between these teams in the
division at one time promised to be
very close affair, but the champions
proved to be the better stayers and won
with final score of to 1. After starting
out level with one win for each side. the
adjourned ending between Byler and
Hitchcock terminated in favor of the un-
defeated Interior player, who played an
errorless end game and won cieverly.
The last game to be decided in this
match was that on board ] between
Walker and Zapoleon. This was a most
interesting set-to. The Interior captain
opened with the queens gambit. Zapoleon,
as usual declining the offered pawn. The
Agriculture player succeeded in keeping
the white forces strictly at bay, and later
on gave his more experienced antagonist
considerable trouble in the middle game,
which was replete with dashing plays.

critical for both players, and subsequent

CLERGYMAN DISCUSSES
APOSTLES INSPIRATION
Rev. J. A. Geissinger breaches on
AIIuSionS in Testament

1.-THE Christian Teaching Concerning
the Holy Spirit was the topic of the
Rev. J. A. Geissinger, pastor of the
University Methodist church, yester-
day morning from the text Acts 1872,
did ye receive the Holy Spirit when
ye believed?" He said in part:
"These words would seem to indicate
that the apostles expected all Chris
tians to receive the Holy Spirit when
they believed. What did Paul mean
by this question? Let us ask what is
the meaning of the Holy Spirit.
"In the Old Testament we find that
the spirit of God was over all life,
the world of material things and the
world of man. He brooded over chaos
and he became a living spirit. He
touched the harps of poets to finest
songs and gave prOwess in battle He
opened to prophets the meaning of life
and the progress of the ages. This
view passed away in the cour of time
and the Spirit was associated with the
strange and unusual only. Traces of
the influence of this popular view may
yet be found in the New Testament
The author of our text gave express
sion to a larger view of the Holy
Spirit. He traced wisdom, knowledge,
prophecy, faith, healing, miracles and
tongues to the Spirit, but he held that
the highest gifts Of the Spirit are
spiritual or moral faith, hope and
love. We all drink of one spirit and
this comes illumination, so that we see
Christ as Lord; love of God, help for
our infrmity, peace. gentleness, pa
tience, self-control."

not much value on their thoughts.
Happily, though, the mist of the physt-
cal senses is clearing from the mental
vision Of more and more people daily.
They are finding the deeper truth that
the real self of man is the soul, of
which the mind is the medium of eX-
preston.
Man is his thoughts, ideas and sem
timents, not his body. Unsupported by
the mind, the body can perform no ac-

MAN IS JUDGED BY HIS
ASSOCIATES, SAYS PASTOR
Dr.. Brougher Delivers Sermon on
Popular Proverbs

''Birds of a Feather Flock Together"
was the subject of the second series
on popular proverbs" delivered by
the Rev. ]. Whitcomb Brougher, pas
tor of the Temple Baptist church, last
evening. He said in part:
Both Old Testament and New Tes-
lament writer's direct our attention to
the nature and habits of birds. They
use them frequently to illustrate some
truth that is applicable to the nature
of man. The truth of the proverb that
Birds of feather flock together" has
been recognized in all ages.
The company we keep affects our
reputation II is true that many a per-
son Is compelled by force of circum-
stances and the necessities of business
to be associated with men and women
who are not his company by choice.
1t nevertheless is true that the COM
pany we choose to be with, and are
known as being associated with con-
tinually, has its effect upon our repu-
tation in the community in which we
live. AS a matter of fact, we live
largely in the estimation of our fellow
men. Our reputation is what they think
us to be. Sometimes a man has a
good reputation and his character does
not deserve 1t. Many a person of med
iocre ability has become q power in the
world because he has been associated
in some organization or company with
men and women of great ability, and
has gained the reputation for himself
of being able to do things, and that
reputation has unlocked the door of op-
portunity for service and has made it
possible for him to become a power in
the world.

tation for purity and nobility of char
