If every man and woman Of fair un'
lerstanding and open mind would read
every Sunday morning the fifth chap
ter Of Matthew, which Is the sermon
on the mount, containing the beati'
tudes, this world would be happier
than it is. One need not stop to DIS
cuss the doctrine of it, but just let the
sweet spirit of 1t get into his life. az
he lets the view of a fine landscape
or a glorious sunset, or the heavens
filed with stars, get into his soul. and
1t will put him in harmony with the
all-pervading truth that ruleth all
things, and will spread a vision De-
fore him that he never saw before
There is the best truth in the uni
verse; better than one will find in the
sciences, the arts, the PHILOSOPHERS
the histories, and truth that one does
not have to struggle to get. out
which comes to him as freely as the
light goes into his eyes. All ne mas
to do is to open his eyes. and there II
is.

INTERCOLLEGIATE
BALL FOR COACH
COACH WATKINS OF FARGO COL
LEeE TALKS ON INTERcoLLE-
eiATE BASKETBALL SITUATION
IN NORTH pAKoTA-FAVoRs
COLLEGE GAME. ....

Coach Watkins, in a recent interview,
expressed himself as heartily in favor
of adopting intercollegiate basketball
rules for the colleges of this state. It's
a typical college game, more interest
ing to the spectators and, far more ex-
was Coach Watkins character
ization of it.
The representative colleges of this
state ought to be ready for the adop-
ton of intercollegiate rules. If the
representative colleges adopt them, the
smaller institutions will be forced to
accept them in order to secure games
with their larger rivals" This is Coach
Watkins opinion in the matter.
In a game played under collegiate
rules, the average man has more Of
chance to do stellar playing. 1t re-
quires more headwork, more speed, and
allows a man to play the game he
wants to play. Dribbling is allowed.
There is no prettier exhibition in
basketball than that of a man drib
bling the ball halfway down the floor,
lodging and sidestepping men, and
then landing it within the ring. There
are numerous times in the course of a
game when dribbling can be used very
effectively.
Many people raise the objection that
intercollegiate rules are rougher This
is an erroneous opinion, for If properly
refereed the nature of the rules pre-
vents unnecessary roughness. Under
these rules, man is disqualified after
four fouls have been called on him.
Speed is the thing. A game played I'M
der these rules Is faster. prettier, and
essentially a college game.
AS was stated in The Forum some
time ago, there is no use of the North
Dakota institutions sticking to the
A. A. u. rules when the intercol-
legiate rules are almost universally
used. The game is becoming faster
in this state, in fact, too fast for the
A. A. u, rules. When North Dakota
college team goes to the twin cities
to play. it is forced to play collegiate
rules and is handicapped greatly.
If the institutions Of this state wish
to secure a place in college athletics
they must sooner or later adopt the
basketball rules used by practically al
the colleges of this country. One coach
has expressed himself as heartily In
favor Of it, and as he says. If they are
adopted by a majority OF the repre-
sentative colleges, the others will have
to come to it. Until this is done. ath-
letics in this state will remain below
the American university and college
standard. .'

DEFENSE Set UP
BY COACH stage

Chicago, Feb. 4.--Pror. A. A. Stage,
head of the department of athletics and
coach of the varsity teams at the Uni
versity of Chicago, denied last night
that the institution has proselyted for
students with records in athletics or
that candidates for the football team
were worked so hard that they had no
chance to study.
1--WE have been especially careful to
avoid even the semblance of proselyt-
ing at the university Coach Stagg
said: $50 far from adopting system
for securing students who gave ath-
letic promise, we hold out no promises
whatever to them. We have no jobs
to give away. and no scholarships to
bestow on athletes.
Athletes Stand Well.
Nor are those students who try out
for the football team overworked.
have figures to show what their schol-
arship is. The men on the athletic
teams have higher standings than the
average of the students in college, de-
cidedly higher than those on the glee
club or than the fraternity men. The
average grade. Of the athletics is B, or
better. and anybody who knows the
University of Chicago knows that that
is not a bad mark.
There were times when the football
team was late getting in last fall but
that was because they were late get
ting out" Mr.. Stage replied. 81

ate athletics has been toward raising

The second contest was between the
Globe and Key City quintets and was
one of the best played games yet seen

TO MEET KAUFMAN
. then JOHNSON

Kansas City. Feb. 4.-"Billy" Nc
Carney, the Kansas City sporting man,
received letter today giving the de-
tails of the purchase of the contract
on Carl Morris, the white mans
hope" The contract was sold by j. E..
Stone, for $1,000, to three rich oil men.
81 knew that the deal was pending
when was in Sapulpa the other day"
said Mccartney. They have paid $685.
900 all right for the contract on Carl.
They bought it simply for speculation.
Morris is to receive monthly salary,
a percentage Of all purses he fights for.
1t means, however, that he won't en-
gage in any more fights for six months.
1.-The men who paid the big price for
his, contract are going to hire the best
instructors in the business and give
Carl six months to learn the fine points
of the game. If he develops ,satistac-
torily he will be matched to fight Al
Kaufman or some other good mani If
he wins his first bout under his new
managers, he will be sent against Jack
Johnson. However, they don't intend
to match him against the negro for
more than a year.
Mccartney said that if Morris de-
veloped to the satisfaction of his man
ayers. he could get backing for $780,
900 against Johnson. .

HOLzER joins SQUAD
Fast Basketball Player Joins the Fargo
College Squad and Looks Good
in the Lineup.

The Fargo college fans are elated
over the fact that Dick Holzer has reg
istered at the college. He is viewed as
a valuable addition to the athletics of
that institution. Holzer played last
year with the fast d. B. G. team, and
has been playing this season with the
local Y. M. G. A. team.
Holzer is a fast, heady player. He
plays ball all the time and can slip
as many in as the next one. AS a
guard, he is especially strong. The
college has some good men but hasn't
enough of them. Holzer will. be well
coined addition.
Coach Watkins is at present putting
the men through some heavy practice
