OF the most interesting played on Is

A G. Hill. faculty manager of the

today with the management Of the
81 Ambrose college team OF Daven-
port for q game Nov. and the Oct.
ID date has been flied by arranging
a game among the players making
up the high school squad. The latter
game occurs next Saturday and it will
hnd first team men arTayed against
each other in a lineup prepared by
Coach Corneal. st. Ambrose has a
heavier team than the locals, but the

that, for the moment, casts spell
of solemni-y over the audience which
a few minutes before has been laugh
ing at a ragrime song Mr.. Law has

the young man who enacts the role of
the murderer gives a strong bit of
character work when he appears be-
fore his confessor to tell him that
he had killed a man in the street and
had robbed his body OF what yaluables
II possessed. The murderer discOv-
ers when the priest reads the inscrip-
ton on the watch he had stolen that
the victim was q brother OF his con
fcssCr. Near the close of the act the
widow and q lieutenant of police APP
pear al the reCtory simultaneously.
The priest hides the murderer in a
room of his home, after admonishine
him with reference to the reparatiOn
he must make with mis- God and his
church. When the slayer hears the
name Of an officer mentioned he
walks from the room into his arms
The officer takes the priest to task
for not suTrendering the Crimina. and
the minister simply answers that he
knows nothing that would aid the law
in dealing out punishment for the
crime laid al the young mans door
