A meeting of the Senate team will be
held this week for the purpose of elect
ing a captain and going over the plans
for the coming season. A game was
scheduled for March l.. with Catholic
University, but owing to the weather con-
ditions it was thought advisable to can

and are in pretty fair shape, and al
though they have been outside on sew
eral occasions they are not ready to in

more outdoor work.

need be said of his ability, as he
has shown what he can do in past
performances. This man is Dick Con-

Warden will play third, and much is
expected of him with the willow. as he
showed what he could do when he played
with Hamline, of the Sunday School

THE PATH TO YESTERDAY.

There's a path that leads to Yesterday-you know
1T;
rambling path of blossoms and perfume.
You remember how the wild grapes overgrow it
To the house upon the hilltop deep in bloom
There's path that leads to Yesterday through
flowers,
Where the Woodthrush is voice of magic
Where the cricket snaps it's fairy whip for hours
And barefoot boy goes whstling all day
long.
There's path that leads to Yesterday through
dnges
OF the forest where the wood pool is an eye,
And the sunbeam is twinkle soft that minges
With a gadness of girl who dances by.
There's path that leads to Yesterday. a-giim-
With the pearl and purple footsteps of the dusk.
Where the first star leaps and flashes. like a
swimmer.
On the violet verge of twilight washed with
musk.
There's path that leads to Yesterday that's
haunted
With the shadows of old memories of bliss
Ana the ghosts of loves that roamed there once,
who counted
Every moment by heartbeat or kiss
Oh the path that leads to Yesterday. It's call
ing.
Don't you hear it! How it calls through many
things.
Through its roses like the memories now fall
And the dreamike Westward futtering of
wings.
On the path that leads TO Yesterday we've start
Hear it calling with its many whippoorwills
Like the voices of old happiness departed,
the hills.

Have Women and Children No RIGHTS?

The above question has been persistenty OBJ
truding itself into the writer's mind since yes
terday. This is Christmas Eve. We are cele-
brating the birth OF Him who to bring
peace on earth and good will among men. But
last night l took crowded train out of one OF
our leading Texas cities and what l saw and
heard at the station and on the train reminded
me that In many homes of Texas II is time of
unusual dread rather than time of JOY And
the author OF this dread and fear Is King Alco-
hol The other name for King Alcohol is Beiial
and there Is concord between Christ and Be
lial. What and heard last night at the
beginning OF the yearly celebration of the birth
OF the Christ Child made me feel more keenly
than ever that the conflict between the home and
the saloon IL irrepressible and shall go on until
one or the other IL blotted out. And do not
think the home will lose the battle. For this
very day hundreds OF thousands OF wronged
wives and mothers are crying out to God against
this fell destroyer of the home. Hath God for
gotten to be gracious? Is His mercy clean gone
forever" Nay, verify. But this Is what saw:
First, a father. who had gone In with his two
grown daughters from the country that they
might few Christmas sights and buy q
few Christmas trinkets beastly, hoggishy drunk
and being held up and carried by his sweet
looking girls while he swore In maudlin iuiocy
and tried to find somebody to fight him. and
was the butt of ridicue for dozens Of half
drunken bystanders. The friends or inten,per-
ance say that man has Z right to drink what
