c. j. SHOWED UNDER
Defeated by Dickinson by
So to O Score.
LOCALS MUCH OUTCLASSED
Dunn and Goldstein Play Brilliantly
for Dickinson-End Runs
Feature.

Inc Catholic University foot ball team
was totally outclassed by the heavy
DICKINSON eleven yesterday, So to O. The
local eleven was outplayed from the
start of the game, and at but only one
stage OF the game did 1T show any signs
or being equal to the task which it had.
This was during the third period when
Butter and Moran gained through Dick
insons line and made four first downs,
one right after the other. With the ball
on Dickinson's 25-yard line the C. U.
was held for DOWNS and Dickinson took
the ball. This was the only period of the
game in which Dickinson failed to score,
and the men who started the game were
playing at this time. The talk which
Coach McDevitt gave the men during the
halves had its effects, and when the men
started the third period it looked as
though they found some extra strength,
and began fighting their opponents to a
standstill. Credit must be given the
Catholic University for its gameness.
The team was outweiehed twenty pounds
to the man. end every man on the team
fought to the very end of the game. The
most surprising thing of the game was
the ability of the Catholic University
line to stop up pays sent at it.
1t hit the line, and not once was it able
to make a gain through it. Every man
on the C.. L. line charged his man low
and hard, and completely played his
opponents off his feet. Time and again
Kyle ard Waters broke through and
nailed the MAN. with the ball behind his
own line for loss.
Dickinson. working old Indian criss-
crosses, end runds and forward passes,
scored eight touchdowns The first was
made after two and one-third minutes
of play and the game ended with the
last. Two of the touchdowns were made
by ends. who had received forward passes
made by Capt. Dunn. The other six We're
made by end runs.
Capt. Dunn and Goldstein each went
around Catholic Iniversity's right end
for touchdowns, after run of 40 yards.
Time and again Schaffer and Dunn went
around the ends for long runs When
a Dickinson back went around the end
he had no less than seven men in front
of him. forming a wonderful interference
which the ends and tackles seemed pow
erless to stop.
In the fourth period the University boys
seemed to weaken for Dickinson scored
four of it's touchdowns during this final

This Iife's a mystery.

This life's mystery.
The value OF a thought cannot be told,
But it is clearly worth thousand lives
Like many mems. And yet men love to
live
As II mere life were worth their living for.
What but perdition will 1t be ia most?
LIES more than breath and the quick
round Of blood.
1t is a great spirit and busy heart.
The coward and the small in soul scarce
do live
One generous feeling, one great thought,
one deed
OF good ere night, would make life longer
seem
Than if each year might number thou
sand days
Spent as this is by nations OF mankind.
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts.
not breaths;
In feelings not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart throbs-
He most lives
Who thinks most. feels the noblest, acts
the best.

MRS. SAGE BUYS
BIRDS A REFUGE
Pays $4,000 For Marsh Is
land, Near New Orleans.
MARKET HUNTERS SHUT OUT.

The Purchase 10 Great Achievement II
Protecting tho Migratory species
Mrs. Sage Has Long Been interested
In Bird Preservation.
Mrs. Russell Sage has bought Marsh
island, Louisiana, at cost of $l5O,ooO
for bird refuge. The island Is on the
gulf coast, southwest of New Orleans
and is about eighteen miles long and
nine miles wide and contains about
$4,000 acres II has long been Ia
nous winter feeding ground for DUCKS
and geese and various other migratory
birds and has been for many years
one Of the most popular resorts In the
south for market hunters. Mrs. Sage
will place control of the island in
whatever hands will best accomplish
her purpose, either the federal govern
ment. the state of Louisiana or some
association organized for bird protec'
ton
The matter was brought to Mrs.
Sage's attention by Edward A. Nell
benny Of Avery island, Louisiana. who
in conjunction with Charles Willis
Ward of Michigan. recently gave a
1900 acre bird refuge on Vermillion
bay to the state of Louisiana. Mr..
Ward then founded the magazine the
Illustrated Outdoor World to further
the work of establishing chain of
bird refugees across the continent. The
first issue. in April. of this magazine
contained the announcement of this
plan and the purchase of options on
Marsh island as the most important
bird refuge In the south by Mr.. Ward
as the first step in the work planned.
Control Not Yet Fixed.
A careful examination of the island
with respect to its value as preserve
for wild birds was made for. Mrs. Sage
by George Bird Grinnell On his adj
vice and that of others she decided to
make the entire purchase herself. IN
til it has been decided under what
control the bird refuge will be placed
the title will be vested with Mr. Nell
benny, who viii be in charge of ar
rangements TO guard the property dur
ing the coming season.
Mrs. Sage's interest in bird preserva-
ton is of long standing For many
years she has been particularly con-
cerned about the wild birds IN Central
park, New York. and more recently
she has contributed through the Ma
tional Association of Audubon Socie-
ties for the protection of robins and
other migratory birds.
The dedication of Marsh island as a
game preserve is one step toward a
scheme of wild fowl protection by
chain of bird refugees up the Missis-
sippi valley from the gulf to the great
lakes and Canada. along the course
taken by ducks, geese and other mi
gratory birds in their fight to and
from their summer and winter feeding
grounds. An effort is now being made
by those interested in bird preserva
ton to establish sanctuaries for wild
birds like that of Marsh island at in
tervals through the entire valley. and
the gift of Mrs Sage is expected to
prove a powerful stimulus to this plan.
W. T. Hornaday, director of the New
York geological garden. calls the pur-
chase of Marsh island the most i'm
portant step for preserving the birds
of North America since David Wilcox
the Audubon society.
