In order to prove their contention,
the old-timers quote some authentl-
ca ted field goals scored from drop and
placement kicks. The 81 yard drop
kick field goal made by Pat O Dea of
Wisconsin in the game with Northwest
ern in 1898, forms the record for this
method of scoring, while J. I. Haxhall
Of Princeton, holds the record for Il
goal from placement, with his 65yar'l
! score against Yale in 1852.

sational fact ofiI A. Pumpelly OF Inst

Il drop kick goal of Is yards, pats
him well up in the list OF successful
field goal scorers at unusual distances
Goals from both placement and by

Changed Cor,5itions Under Open Game
Kicking Ability Of Some In
dividual Usually Responsible.

As the football season progresses
the teams of big universities of both
the East and middle West are finding
il more difficult each week to keep their
score states clear. Time was when the
colleges forming the ''hix SIX and
big nine felt that their escufch-
cons had been blotted if the eleven OF
y minor institution scored upon their
team With the coming of the So
called open game conditions changed.
Scoring against Yale, Harvard and
+ Princeton, in the East, and Michigan,
Minnesota and Chicago, in the middle
West, is no longer uncommon. In most
gases. however, the score is made by
way of the aerial route, and is duy
more TO the personal kicking ability of
one PLAYER than to the team as a whole
1t IS the opinion among many for
lner football stars that while the
ability Of the average college droI

Fritz Hanson at Burlington Friday
night threw Jack Miller two out of

that upon either of these two Amcri-

an endeavor to have an even scale of
weights in all classes, such as obtains
in England, France. Belgium and
switzerland, and by its adoption in
America make it really international

weight. III pounds; bantam. rs
pounds; feather, 1876 pounds; light, 13-
pounds: weller. 147 pounds; middle
100 pounds: light-heavy. 10 pounds

SO ridieulously easy was the Spring
field (Vt.p high school football team at
Island park Saturday afternoon that it
was hardly worth while telling about
it except that the score was 90 TO
0 in favor Of Brattleboro high. The
visitors had absolutely no offense and
comparatively little defense. Their
one offensive play was a tandem such
as was used - wears ago and which,
in the use of hands by the interfer.
cnce, was Illegal. Their punting was
poor and their tackling 4 joke. There
is this to say about them, however,
/ that they did not quit, in spite of the
/ fact that in less than four minutes
three touchdowns had been rolled up
against them.
Owing to the absence of Whittcmorc
and Chase from the lineup. Brattleboru
presented q slightly different team
than during the last two previous
games, the whole string of substitutes
.--two-having chances to play. Knight
was at guard in place Of Chase and
Harlow played end a part OF the time
and alternated with Kaine in the
backfield. Pond got his first chance,
playing the last two quarters at end.
He is crude in his work, but he is
|. well built and willing.
The spectators, Of whom there Were
about as many as usual despite the in.

Secular LEAGUE

The Washington Secular League
claims The distinction of being WASH
ingtori's "open forum" since II not only
provides each week an address on some
interesting and important question by
some competent speaker, but has fol-
lowing the address general discussion
OF the subject in which any person
present is at liberty to participate or
TO PROFOUND questions on the subject
to the speaker of the day, who closes
the entire discussion with rejoinder
in reply to comment. questions, and
criticisms. This practice is in pursu-
ance Of one OF the leagu's fundamental
principles-''the free search, the free
publicity. the free criticism. and the
free action OF opInion'-and has OBJ
tanned during the entire history of the
organization. II not the only one, the
league is one of the very few organi-
cations in washington in whose pub
lie meetings this practice obtains, and
where members of the audience have
chance to speak their minds and COM
ment on the Views presented in the
sermon" Although standing for def
mite principles, the league presents
each season a series OF addresses on
wide variety of subjects, and, in fact,
excludes nothing that is of human IN
terest Its object is the ascertainment
Of truth for the benefit of the individual
and society. Its public meetings are
at Pythian Temple. lOl2 Ninth street
northwest. and every one is welcome.
AT tho next meeting, sunday. January

toward Christian and other theology
will be defined and discussed.

One of the most serious of the many
misconceptions which We have inherited
from the dark ages is that sin" is a
perversity to be met With punishment
and savage persecution, instead of what
ii really is, the result of a condition OF
ignorance that can only be dealt with
BY enlightenment and education. If Il
man really knew that an action is
wrong. and that il will inevitably be
followed by evil consequences he is
careful 10 avoid it. He has been told
that the fire of hell will burn him as
the result Of certain action. but he
does not really know this and therefore
when he feels the inclination TO commit
the act. he does so in spite OF threaten
cd consequences. 1t will be found that
everyone who does wrong justifies the
wrong action 10 himself at the time OF
its commission. whatever he may think
about il afterwards.
So il appears that Sin as ordinarily
understood. is figmcnt of the theology
cal imagination What really exists Is
an unfortunate condition of Ignorance
which often leads to infraction of the
divine law. The light from the divine
wisdom will dispel this ignorance.
