low so many rivals in the last couple

ever. Five times IN a row McCue
swung his famous straight punch ana
every time O'Conaell went 10 the mat

The finish could be seen even before
McCue landed the right which sent
OConnell 10 the mat the first time.
During mixup at close quarters Mat

the effects of the punch, and a moment
later he followed up with a right,
which crashed against O'Connell's jaw.

down in heap. He took the count CT

feet McCue came tearing in like BULL

GIDEON OLSON LOSES OUT
IN THE TENNIS TOURNEY

BY the elimination of Gideon Olson
from the tennis tournament now on
at AugustGna college, only two play
ers remain Tor the fnals-Edgar An
derscn and Sigfrid Blomgren. Ander-
son has the credit for putting Olson
out of the running, winning two Cut
Ofthree Gets from the doughty semine-
rian yesterday afternoon in hard
fought contest.
Olson started out with a rush and
almost carried Anderson off his feet,
winning the first set by score of SO.
With this advantage Olson tried the
policy of wearing out his opponent in
the second set by loafing. Anderson
stayed right in the game and took the
set, 60 In the third set both men
fought with all the skill at their com.
mand.. 1t was apparent, however, that
Anderson had struck his stride, while
Olson had gone stale. Anderson grad.
ually forged ahead, finally taking the
set, 6-3.
The final game for the college sin
giles championship between Blomgren
and Anderson will probably be played
next Saturday. Both men will be eli
gible to represent Augustana in the
singles and doubles tournament to be
held with Carthage college. In the
meantime a double tournament has
been started at home. Seven teams
have already entered the lists but
playing has not yet begun. A singles

FIRST UNION SERVICE AT BROADWAY
Large Congregation Heard Scholarly and Helpful Sermon by Prof. Benjamin H. Bacon, DD, of Yale Divinity School on Sunday Morning

Broadway church was well filled on Sunday morning at the union service of the Second, Park and Broadway Congregational churches, Prof. Ben jamin W. Bacon. D. D., of Yale Di- vinity school, was the preacher. and upon Soul Darkness, It's Cause and Cure. His text was from St. Luke II 34 35. ''The lamp of thy body is thine eyei when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light, but when 1t is evil, thy body also is full the light that is in thee be not dark ness"
 The MaIady of Soul Darkness.
 Everyone suffers at some time from this malady of soul darkness. At some time one feels the brightness and sun shine of the world without in contrast with the gloom within. The message of this text is to cure this darkness. It needs an expository sermon, however for it is text which is universally misunderstood. The word single" in it is a mistranslatiOn. What is the real meaning of let thine eye be single?
 Perpiexity in Interpretation.
 There is reason for much perplexity in the interpretation of the sayings of Jesus from the fact that they are giv- en differently by the different evan
 
 text as given by St. Luke with the ac- count of the same saving as given by St Matthew in chapter 6. He con- vevs a different idea of it's meaning. Which is right?
 And St. Mark gives an altogether different version by his reference to Jesus himself as being the lamp. Our difficulties are further enhanced when the various sayings are combined with other savings. Each evangelist com bined them to suit his own ideas and to convey the impression he wished to make. Matthew was especially giv- en to this. He puts a great deal in where it does not properly belong, when he wants to fill out discourses. I The Lords prayer is a striking exam ple Neither do the words of the text properly belong in the sermon on the mount. They were spoken at an en- tirelv different time. We learn that a delegation of the Scribes and Phar- iSees had been sent down to follow Jesus and to pronounce judgment upon what he was doing. They accuse him of casting out devils in the name of Beelzebub. Then follows the heaviest that Jesus ever uttered to the religious authorities. The exact historical occasion should never be neglected as q setting for the words uttered. Matthew takes them out of this setting and puts them in one which makes them 1H1piV lDaC we should be single in our aim. There is no quarrel with this teachn9 of Paul and Matthew-it is much needed today. But it is not the real meaning. The evil eye mentioned is the iaundiced one dark rnbelieving and maliGnant, like that of the Scri7oes and Pharisees who could see no good in Jesus and His work Would the opposite of this be the eye that was fixed only on the main chance and narrowed down to one end and aim or would 1t not rather be the wholesome and believing eye, generous liberal and loving-the one described in St. PauTs chapter on love?
 The Meaning of Single.
 Tn the Greek dictionary this word. "singlev ihas two meanings
