CALLS FOOTBALL EASY
Doctor Says Men Worked Only IS
Minutes in Game.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-That there is no
foundation in fact for the criticism
made against football that it is too
severe a tax on the vital functions of
college men, was the claim made last
night by DR.. c. P. Hutchins. director
of physical training of Indiana uni
versity.
DR.. Hutchins had proof with which
20 back up his statement which was
obtained by keeping track of the actual
playing time in the Chicago-Minnesota
game on Saturday, with a stop watch.
He declared the actual playing time
for the entire game was Is minutes and
16 seconds. Time was taken out when
the ball was not actually in motion,
no accounting being made for the time
the men were lining up. giving signals,
and making such shifts as the signals
required.
DR.. Hutchins said this particular
game was chosen because it was be-
lieved that football in its full mean
ing would be demonstrated.
The period of physical activity was
greatest in the second quarter when
there was three minutes and 35 seconds
of actual playing.

miles. why, most Of our states cover
from five to ten times as much space,
the state OF Texas alone containing
more than twenty times the area of
Palestine.
OF all Of the lands Of the earth,
Palestine is Of the most interest
ing, for in this small country originated
a volume that is familiar to all-the
Bible. 1t has often been a question
of wonderment hat such a small por-
ton of our earth could be instrument
tai in producing a work so universally
known. And yet small countries have
given to the world some Of its great
est treasures. Take for instance,
Greece, England, Italy, and Egypt, all
of them are small, yet they have all
been world leaders in some one or an
other characteristic.
Today there is not a place on our
planet which is more thoroughly stud
led and known that this 1900 square
miles of Palestine. Even in our own
generation, every foot of it has been
surveyed. Our biologists have gone
through the rocks; botanists have
gathered and classified it's plants; and
BIOLOGISTS have collected and arranged
its animals. Maps have been made
that show every mountain, valley, lake
and river. as well as cities and villages.
In Palestine is to be found all the
rock formation. ais well as all Of the
flora and fauna known. to this earth.
Between the high attitudes of its
mountains with the perpetual snow and
the tepid waters Of the Salt sea, every
climate is experienced, in which there
is every living thing that is known to
earth. So it has been truthfully said
that Palestine is the whole world in a
nutshell.
BY reading the foregoing, one may
get a slight glimpse or the interesting
knowledge set forth in the New Illus
trated Bible which is being distributed
by The Forum. This magnificent
volume contains 500 text illustrations
prepared by the worlds greatest artist
at the enormous cost of $4,000, aside
from the numerous full page colored
plates from the famous Tissot collec-
ton. Every picture accurately por-
trays a scene that throws a true light
IN the particular subject which it ac-

our regard to the subjects. These may
be said to entitle the volume to the
