Comments on Selections.
G. j. Wagner in announcing his Sc
lection stated that there were many
difficulties in the way of an equitable
selection. There were men on the
Calumet team he believed who pos
sessed equal ability with those whom
he had named, but he was unable to
pick them as they had never had n
chance To show what they could do.
In regard To the quarterback position
Mr.. Wagner expressed himself in
doubt. declaring that Penberthy of
lIoughton was beyond all doubt the
best man, but he had been unable tC
get into the majority of the games
his team played and for that reason,
Gillespie was given the position
Mr.. Clahn declared that the full
back position us he saw II was -
toss-1p between Rogers and Brock
with Rogers far superior ON offens-
i've play and Brock better on defense
when playing at his best. Rogers Is
a far better man than Brock but the
Hancock man is the steadier player
ana for that reason gets an even
break in the choice. The fact that
Ponberthy was unable to play all sea-
sen did not dcbar him from the first
honors In Mr.. Claflin's eyes.
with three weeks practice under a
competent coach, either of these teams
would be able to become serious con-
tenders i'm the state championship
race. Mr.. Clahin declared, as all Of
the players are good material and none
are unwilling To learn.

Contention Over Whale Story.
The story of the whale and prophet
has for years been bone of conten-
ton among Christians argumentative-
ly inclined and has been responsible
for the backsliding of many doubling
Thomases." Men of science have long
admitted that whales at least modern
whales. would choke to death on a
leaf of bread.
The new Bible has substituted the
indefinite great FIJI for the specific
whale, also a newer Interpretation of
the ancient Hebrew.
Genesis, with its outline of Chris
tan cosmogeny has also suffered some
changes In the Baptist Bible the
name of Adam does not appear. The
father of the human race Is called tho
man" which is the old Hebrew mean
ing of Adam. Eve" becomes the
woman" since the Hebrew interpre-
tation of Eve was simply woman
underworld" is Substitute.
The sixteenth chapter of Luke elm
mates the world hell" as the name
of subtcrrestrial realms and replaces
1t with underworld" The verse af-
fected by the change now reads:
And ] also say To thee that thou
art Peter. and on this rock / will build
my church and the gates of the un-
derworld shally not prevail against it,"
The improved edition of the Bap-
lists gives the Lords prayer in this
manner:
"Our father who art in heaven, hal
lowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done. as i'm heaven
so on earth. Give US this day our
daily bread. And forgive us our debt
as we also have forgiven our debtors
and bring us not into temptation but
deliver ms from the evil one"
