eral rule there is no difficulty about
this matter for the Superiors of the
different orders see to it that none
but subjects capable of doing the work
required of them are admitted to mem
bership. 1t is wrong to place the re-
ligious life upon the same plane as
an ordinary career in the world. 1t
is not profession or mode of life
that can be changed at will. 1t makes
demands upon the individual in the
way of vows that are binding for life.
In the world one may change his mode
of life or kind of work at will; but it
is not so in the religious life, and
hence greater care and diligence must
be exercised in preparing for relig-
ious career than are necessary for an
ordinary career in the world. The re-
ligious life it not a profession, but a

He insinuates himself even among
the elect, suggesting wrong standards
to those who still have the decency to
marry, sowing seeds of rebellion and
discord among the few stray sheep the
missionary has rounded up with infin-
tie pain and patience. He finds his
way into converts and tries to invade
the Sanctuary itself in ways that, only
satanic ingenuity could suggest.
The worldly wise may smile, the
man of little faith may sneer, but
when confronted with conditions that
have no other adequate explanation,
we have right to conclude that "our
wrestling is not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities and
powers, against the rulers of this
world of darkness, against the spirits
of wickedness in high places"
In this extremity it behooYes us to
arm ourselves for the conflict. The
Saviours example teaches us that fast
ing and prayer are the best weapons
of defense against the assaults of the
devil and for this reason the Church
sets aside this season of Lent; and
must we not admit that we have spe-
cial reason for it's careful observance?
1t is true many may not come under
the strict letter of the law of fasting,
but all must have the spirit of self

But water as substitute for strong

SENIOR LEAGUE
| GETS THE PLAY
Two Important Cases Will
Make it Center of Inter-
est During February.
(By Joe S. Jackson.)

Washington, d. c., Dec. 17.-Before
h major league baseball meetings Of
the present week 1t was said that the
johnson circuit. by holding its SEES
sion in Chicago, would be forced into
the position of a minor organization.
just that thing came to pass, h Ma
tional league, converting in New York,
and discussing divers matters OF more
than ordinary Importance, being given
the Prominent position in all publica-
tons. while the procedure of the Jun
ior circuit was almost ignored. Now
1t seems possible that the older Cir
cult. having collected this trick, may
take in another in February, when
both bodies are to assemble in New
York.
At that time there will he no real
excuse for an American league gath
ering unless the Boston club. winner
of the worl dtitle this past fall, wishes
to give a dinner celebrating that event.
The February meeting is for the pur-
pose Of adopting the schedule. These
dates are ratified long before the mag
mates get together. and they merely
re through h motions of doing some
work. This statement applies to both
circuits. But the National leaguers,
by their course at New York. have
assured lLdt eHelT oTsaHlZatlOn SHALL
take all Of the play in February.
Two Big Cases to Consider.
There will be nothing of n mo-
ment for the American league to dis
cuss. The National. on the other
hand, will have two important mat
tiers to consider and conclude. One
Is the Bresnahan case against the st.
Louis club. That will be tried at this
meeting. The other is the argument
between the New York club and the

tried to outguess q pitcher and was
terribly hurt. From that day he was
lost to the SoX, and was released to
the coast.
Then there was Billy Purtell. anoth-
err promising SoX player. He was a
conner as a third baseman, but was
"beaned" while trying to outguess a
pitcher. He stood away from the
plate after that, lost his former con-
fidence and has quickly drifted back.
There are many examples. and it's
q pity. OF course, great natural slug
gers, like Wagner and Ty Cobb, can
take a chance of outguessing a Twill
er, because they compose the few who
know how to guard themselves. But
for the vast majority its best to take
what comes inc stick in the game.
Frank Chance was put out Of &C.
tive service on account of numerou
"beanings." But Frank never tried to
outguess a twirler. His hurts came
from wild pitches. Suggs of Cincinnati
is known as a bean ball" thrower.
and so is Russell Ford of the Yankees.
They aim 1t a batter's head to drive
him away from the plate.

BADGER ATHLETES
HAD A GREAT YEAR
Season Most Successful in
History of Wisconsin
Institution.

Madison, Wis. Dec. 1.-THE year
of 1912 has been the most successful
in the history Of Wisconsin athletics.
Ever since Big Jawn' Richards
came back eas at the call of his alma
mater he cardinal cams seem to
nave found themselves. Last seasons
basketball five maintained a clean
slate for the conference season. VIM
ming fifteen straight games and the
conference title. The baseball team
also won the big nine championships:
the track team made a brilliant show
ing: the cross country team outstrip-
ped all conference contenders in the
run at Evanston. and the football
team wrested from Minnesota the
coveted gridiron title.
Additions to the coaching staffs of
the various teams have been neccs-
sary to groom the large squads which
have turned u for the various sports
passed all former records. The mill
tary department appears to have
caught the spirit and has furnished
promising material to the coaches.
Further improvement of athletic
facilities is the w%atchword of the
mittee of representatives from the
board of regents. alumni and students
met during the week and tho problem
was aiken up. A conlmitte" was APP
pointed to continue" the present in
vestisation. 1t will go into every de-
tail of the situation and make a re-
port, which will be submitted to the
regents.
The problem of filling the position
on the Badgc~ five left vacant by
graduation OF S,arEel has been solved
by Berger, halfback on the football
weakness Of the forwards. lack Of
team work, and drihhling. BERGER
was tried out in the iSrlnit game and
his playing approached that nr STAN
gel. Berger has the speed. agrees

player and will make 81 great running
mate for Johnson. Van Gent. Cap
tain Van Ripper and Harper are the
other three fixtures. Coach Meanwell
has a strong second string IN T.ayman,
Drew. Bellows. liininan. Miller and
Sands.
Another feature of winter athletics
will be the summoning of candidates
for the baseball team Immediately
after Christmas holidays. Bill Juneau
will have charge OF the squad. 1t is
believed that Sammle Simpson will
assist the Badger mentor. Over 100
candidates will try for the team. A
strong nucleus for a winning team
remains from last seasons champion
nine. by the end of the first semester
the squad will be reduced and those
who re,nain will continue practice UNI
til outdoor work is possible.

AS a rule few pitchers bean" a hit
ter because of wildness. Occasionally
a man like Reullach of the Cubs loses
his control and the ball is liable to
crack Il batter on the head; but the
bad hurts come from trying to out
guess the finger, and here's the FAY
1t works:
A young fellow comes to bat with a
ma on second. He is keen for a long
hit, and, having got away with the
stunt in the minor leagues, Immediate

sons work will tend to cause the mo-
guls to say let we'll enough alone"
The forward pass is still coming UP
for a great deal Of censure among the
northern colleges. but the west seems
play, and was always a as such,
it is not likely that it will be abolish
ed. The forward pass has been insti-
tuted in the rule book more as a meth
cd of keeping the defense scattered
than for anything else, and as such
1t has accomplished just what was eX-
pected.
Reason They arc Satisfied.
One reason why the rulemakers
will be favorable to the retention of
the present code without much change
is the universal satisfaction which it
has given. The great hue and cry
which has been raised against the
sport in times past has been almost
entirely absent this year. and the gen.
eral public will be catered to that en-
tent.
The forward pass does not meet
with favor among the northern co.,
legcs for the simple reason thai they
fear to take a chance with the play.
Never do they use 1t unless in sheer
desperation after everything else has
failed. The Arny-Navy game might
be mentioned as an instance of this,
and also the other big championship
contests. In few. If any of the meet
ings between the big clevens was the
forward pass used except in cases of
dire necessity. It was the refusal to
take the chance which goes with the
play that made II almost universally
discarded as an effective ground-Nain-
er.

Just what. II n new measures will
he proposed in the meeting December
q is Il question. There seems to he
Kick again. Vt is generally thought
that II a play is worth more to the
ofense tina is the forward pass. Some
talk has been made of abolishing the
forward pass and returning to the on
side kick again. 1t is not likely that
that will be done. but it is very much
possible that the kick will be again
legislated into the code.
One Rule Needs Changing,
One other rule which needs chang
ing is hat forbidding a lineman to

the offense and 20 on the line on the
defense. That should be done away
with or changed because as it stands
it is not effective and cannot be Pm
forced because its Yer does not
hold good.
When the rules are discussed the
anne condition as presented itself last
year will be found in existence. Tho
west will be lined up solidly in favor
of retaining the forward pass as 1t is
while the east will advocate some
kind of restriction on the play. There
ia not the least chance in the world
that it will De- abolished. though it il
possible that the big eastern schools
Will succeed In having it restricted to
a certain extent.
No matter what may be done, there
is little chance hat the code will be
much changed. 1t being very likely
that every important provision will be
left to stand the test OF another year.
