New Pastor of
Baptist Church
Is a FinanCier.

Rev Charles +. McKoy. a graduate OF
Colby college in the class of 1902, and a
native of Bangor has recently led the
Taylor Memorial Baptist church in
Paulsboro, n. J., in a successful debt
raising campaign, in which the church
was entirely freed from debt. The secre-
tary of the Baptist State convention Of
New Jersey took the initiative in this
work, and when Mr. McKoy became
pastor, the latter successfully led in
completing the task.
In addition to mortgage of
$500 on the church and one of
$500 on the parsonage, there was
floating Indebtedness of more than
s1000 for current expenses. The trustees
had decided that the only way to meet
the Indebtedness was to sell the church
property. The new pastor began his pas
torate under discouraging circumstances,
and for some weeks there was no visible
improvement in the situation as related
to the attendance in the services and
other conditions. In the coolest weather.
the heating apparatus broke down, but
undaunted, the pastor asked members
Of the congregation to bring oil stoves to
the church. These were used last winter
for two or three months.
In these conditions, campaign to
raise money was. started, and step by
step, it has been accomplished until to-
day the church is free from indebted
ness. the two mortgages and the floating
Indebtedness have been discharged. In
addition, new heating plant has been
installed and paid for by funds raised
during the campaign. Mr.. Mckoy told
his congregation that he had enjoyed the
fight against heavy odds to save the
church from being sold under the
sheriff. hammer.
Mr.. Mckoy WAS born in Bangor, July
"a, 1878 After graduating from Colby in
1902, he attended the Newton Theological
seminary, graduating in 1865. He was
pastor of Bar Harbor Baptist church
for seven years.

Coach Brown Swings Official
AK With Great Force and
Many Players Lose Out

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct 2S.
With the welding of the official ak
by Coach Floyd Brown last night the
Stanford Rugby football squad has
been cut to 81 men, and a number of
surprises and disappointments are the
result The biggest change is in the
varsity serum. where Brown has
shifted Freddie watkins from a mid
die rank position to lock TO replace
Jumbo, Blase, who has been doing
duty as the pack heavy man all sea-
son. Braden. a sophomore who has
not played many games with the var
sity this year, comes from the sub
stitute list to take Watkins place
Brown last night picked two teams
His first varsity as named represents
practically the pick of the squad
available. and it is freely predicted
that the team that he will send into
the intercollegiate will look very
much like the fifteen he named as his
first team last night Changes are
liable to be made at any time. how
ever.
Neither Cy Davidson nor Otto Lach-
mund. two freshmen who have been
playing with the varsity all season,
was named on the first team last
night. Patterson, freshman who
played his first game with the varsity

Our Players Pay Too Much Attention to the Coaches Says
AII-BIack Manager, in Discussing Local Situation
BY GEORGE H. MASON
Manager of the Ne w Zealand AIf-BIacks

is overdone. That, however, is ac-
counted for, of course. by local con-
ditions. While we fail to see the use
OF SO much coaching. it is evident that
your followers of the game--colle-
gians in particular-fail to see why
we do not have coaches. lot of un-
necessary trainers, rubbers, etc.
The reason is that we make football
our pleasure, while you make 1t a
serious business. We have our train
ers to condition racehorses. but ran
hardly put Rugby football in that
class
Individualism with us Is lost sight
of by the knowledge that every man
is member of a team, but here again
we differ in our methods to the local
methods in that, while our men realize
they are members of team. we do
not try to evolve that machinelike e
play should be driven into the local
collegians' heads.
Your methods along these lines are
wrong. Your men are taught that
the great thing in Rugby is for each
man to consider he is cog of a
wheel To a certin point that is
right, but when you say to a man
When You are collared, pass the
ball" that method Is wrong.
Why not let the man use his own
head in such case. 1t may be that a
high punt would be better than a pass
If he can get one away when cornered.
Or cross kick might be the means
of scoring instead of passing 1t may
also be that kick to the line might
answer the conditions best.
These any many other things are
what have to be thought out by a
player, but il you constantly tell the
players you must always play the
way you are told" you will never ac-
complish the best results.
What is the result of all this mis-
directed coaching? Simply this If
anything happens during the game
which is different to the set methods
taught and expected, then your men
do not know what to do or how to
act We have noticed it in every
game. Our men will try out your de-
fense or your attack in the first few
minutes of a game and after that we
know your work like book.
1T is very simple for our boys then
to use methods which vary to what
you have been accustomed The lack
of individual thinking makes itself
felt under these conditions.
