Crucial Battle Scheduled For Today
BLOUNTVILLE SLAUGHTERED
BY BAPTIST WARRIORS
Howard Aggregation Has Little Trouble In Downing Bount-
vile Eleven-Reserves Oppose Visitors During Part
of Game-Blountville Scores Only Points
Through Field Goal
by ASA RouNTREH, JR.

Outclassing their opponents in every de-
partment of play, the fast little gridiron
machine representing Howard college had
no trouble in triumphing over the highly
touted Blountsvlle aggregation yesterday
on Howard field, the final score being
60 to 3.
Although outweighed, the Baptists COM
pletely outplayed the 'Aggies from the
start and after the first few minutes of
play the game was never in doubt. Two
times during the struggle Coach Noojin
substituted the reserves for the regulars
and even then the visitors were unable
to accomplish anything.
Blountsville scored her lone points in
the last quarter on a placement kick from
the 15-yard line by Friel. They were
playing against the reserves and by a
series of line. .plunges rushed the ball from
midfleld to the 15-yard line, following
which Friel kicked goal. Immediately
afterward the regulars were rushed back
into play and three more touchdowns
were added to Howard's total before
time was called,

were dropped in open field, many of which
were tagged for touchdowns. Toward the
end of the game, however. the Baptists
braced and several successful passes were
made, one of which resulted in a score
The Baptsts scored their initial touch
down during the first three minutes of
play, Robinson recovering a fumbled punt
and running 40 yards for touchdown.
In the second quarter the locals scored
two more, F'ullington making the first
and Tisdale the second. Tisdales was the
result of a 40-yard run through broken
field. Near the close of the quarter the
reserves were sent into the fray.
The second half was a repetition of the
first, with the visitors even more help
lessly outclassed than before. Seven
touchdowns were made in this part of
the game and, with the exception of the

SEEING INTO SPACE.
Distance to Which the Modern Tele.
scope Can Penetrate.

From the Chicago Tribune.
With his forty-foot reflector Sir Will
liam Herschel perceived stars whose
light, he concluded. had occupied 1000
COO years in reaching the earth.
His belief that he had seen further into
space than any other human being before
him is now pronounced just one by that
noted astronomer, DR.. T. ]. j. See. The
visual power Of Herschels telescope is
somewhat surpassed by modern instru-
ments, and much additional power is
given to the modern instrument by the
use of photography. But on the other
hand we now have to take account of the
extinction of light by cosmical dust In
space.
Neglectng this. Herschel slightly over
estimated the distance to which his tele-
scope could penetrate. With our greatest
modern instruments and the use of pho
Biography, 1t is certain DIR. See tells us,
that we can observe stars at distance of
over 100000 light years. 1t is very
probable that we can penetrate to a depth
of about 100000 light years. A modern
silver-on- glass reflector of twelve feet
aperture would give about six times as
much light as the sixty-inch reflector at
Pasadena gives.
With this gain of two magnitudes in
light power it might be possible to pene-
tratc into space at least twice the present
distance. or of depth from which the
light takes 100000 years to reach the
earth. The depth to which We can ,pene-
trate is simply d question of telescope
power, which can be vastly but not in
definitely increased At the present time

RAILROADS RESPONSIBLE,
Supreme Court So Holds in Case of
Man Using Pass.

Irrespective of the Hepburn rate law, the
Supreme Court of the United States to-
day held that person accepting graft
tous transportation from railroad is still
under the protection Of state law against
his negligent injury or death.
The decision was reached in the suit
Of the heirs of Charles A. Schuyler, as
sistant chief clerk Of the railway mail
service, stationed at Ogden. Utah, who
was killed in a wreck while returning
from his daughters funeral at Oakland.
Cal. At the time he was riding free on
his Commission as a mail employee, in
a mail car. The Southern Pacific railroad
claimed that he was a trespasser be-
cause its employees had no right to admit
him to the car and therefore it was not
liable for his death.
The court did not pass on the question
of whether railway mail employees may
have free transportation when not on
duty, but held Schuyler's heirs entitled
to recover under state law.
