 Yale men here say that they believe both of Yale's professional coaches, John Kennedy and Billy Lush, must fight for their places Movements are now on foot to remove them. One is by members or the faculty and alumni who have always opposed professional coaching, and Who believe that the policy can be removed from Vale now with the least trouole' because of Yales lack of success in near lv all branches of sport the past year.
 Another movement Is headed by alumni who do not like the two coaches. One scheme proposed by the disposition ot Lush is to replace him with Johnnk Frvers of the Chicago Nationals. moVe- nnent headed by Bob Cook is against Ken nedy He proposes bringing Jim Rodgers, '9e. to Yale, as rowing director, and al lowing him to name professional row ing instructor trainer of the Cornell crew, recently paid a nice compliment to the Columbia oars men and by inference to James E.

AAERSE sWho was Daniel.

~ AeERSE S-Who was Daniel and
W how did he get to Babylon?
Il What did Daniel propose for
his foodo
What are the advantages and disad-
vantages % of meat diet, - of veg
etable diet?
Is there any reason to believe that God
originally meant man to be meat eater?
If meat is necessary for strength, how
do you account for the strength of the
horse and the elephant, as both are vege-
tarians?
Is there any reason to think that the
craving. or desire for meat is an artificial
appetite?
What evidence Is there that a purely
vegetable diet would increase the health
and the longevity of the people?
Verse 3-Did God in some supernatural
way cause the prince of the eunuchs to
love Daniel, or in any other way than
through Daniels lovable manner?
Does God turn the hearts of people to
love or favor good Christians wholly
apart from their actual attractions?
Verse 10-Whch people are the health
ier> those who have abundance of rich
food and who eat all they can or those
who have plan food and eat only enough
to give them sufficient strength for their
work?
Verses 11-13-What should be our rule
as to the kind and quantity of food we
eat?
Which class in the community is gen.
orally the healthier, the rich or those re-
spectable people who have to struggle
ito make ends meet?'
Take one hundred persons who drink
nothing but water and another hundred
persons who drink intoxicating liquor and
compare their probable condition as to (a)
health, tb) wealth, (c) happiness.
Who were Hananiah, Mshael and
Azariah?
Verses 14-15 What was the result of
the test made upon these three Hebrew
young men, in eating a strictly vegetable
diet and drinking nothing stronger than
water?
Should this test from experience bind
our conscience and cause us to eat and
drink as they did? Why or why not?
Verse 16-What in our day are the chief
evils of gluttony, and what are the chief
evils of drunkenness?
To what extent would the world be bet
ter if the use of Intoxicating liquor as a
beverage could be stopped
Verses 17-21-To what extent may all
men develop their ability by increasing
their knowledge?
Why is it not possible for all persons
with sufficient study to become first-rank
artists. orators. poets and scientists, or to
attain to supernatural powers like Dan
| lei and his companions?
Were the learning and wisdom of these
! four young men acquired or the gifts of
| God?
Where do you draw the line as to the
| possibilities of present spiritual or SUI
| pernatural powers?

things that shall fit us for this victory.
Ii. Spiritual Exercise-It is one of the
remarkable facts concerning athletes
that they are not long lived, and the
reason for this is easily found in the
fact that their training is violent spas
modic and soon given up. Those athletes
who have continued wise and Syste-
matte training are notable exceptions to
the rule, and from this the Christian
athlete may learn the valuable lesson
that spiritual exercise, to be of final value
in this eternal warfare against self and
sin, must be regular, sustained and Of a
character that shall fit us for our pecul-
lar contest. To read and master some
portion of Gods word each day. to con-
quer some ugly trait in our own heart, TO
ease the pain that racks some other soul
less favored than ourselves. to stand

do this to the end, this is spiritual eXer-

College Temptations.

The temptations of college life reveal

will be in the world. The judgment of

enters college with principles we'll estao-

destiny of life is determined during the
high school and academy days. Ihere
the training of the church and home is
fixed in our characters. Daniel, when he
entered the palace school, purposed IN
his heart to be true to the God OF MS
fathers. The defeat of Judah had not
crushed his faith. God came nearer 10
him in trial and he was loyal to the IN
struction Of his Jewish home and schoois.

l. The Purpose in Christian Athletics
Training is task and not pastime. The
athlete who for months at time masters
lis body, eating and drinking only those
things which shall minister to his health
and activity and denying himself every
thing that might in any way interfere
with his ultimate physical fitness, is an
excellent type of what the Christian ath-
lete should bc. For the purpose in ath-

- OSES received, as a student in the
AARE leading university of Egypt, the
NV training that fitted him to be the
law giver and leader of his people. Paul
laid the foundation for his success as the
ambassador to the gentiles during his
college days at Tarsus, where he received
the benefits of the Roman and Greek
ciyiliza ton Daniel was fitted for the
eminent public positions that he was
summoned to fill by the education that
he received in the royal college located
in the palace ground of King Nebuchad-
nezzar of Babylon. The circumstances
that led up to his matriculation are given
in the Scripture preceding our lesson.
During the first expedition of Nebuchad-
nezzar to Syria and all Phoenicia, lin
the third year of Jehoiakim,' Daniel, with
others was taken captive. When after
the battle of Carchemish Nebuchadnez-
Ear had hastened across the desert to
secure the throne upon the death of his
father the captives, with the spoils Of
victory. were left in charge of his gen.
erals to be brought to Babylon. Upon their
arrival in the capital city the king order

They were chosen because of their high
rank. physical perfection, intellectual
ability and culture. The same reasons
that moved the Philippine commission to
send Philippine natives to be educated in
America moved the king to have these
young noblemen educated for the royal
service. The college was located in the
center of the worlds commerce. culture
and creeds
In the wonderfully developed capital
on the banks of the Euphrates the repre-
sentatiyes of all nations could be found.
II was the center of the worlds manu-
featuring interests. The city was filled
with the evidences of its cosmopolitan
citizenship 1t was laid out along the lines
of many modern cities.
It's glory was not all in its buildings,
although it contained one of the seven
wonders of the world. Here the culture
of the ancient world was at its best. 1t
surpassed any of its day. Writing. that
