ed on the west line of Cooper town
ship.

the stand in court today, testified
that the two townships lacked half q
mile of the required width, 1t is said

WESLEYAN WINS
IN STIFF GAME
WITH BROOKINGs COACH AS
UMPIRE METHODISTS SHOW
JUST ENOUGH STUFF TO
BEAT HURON.

On the nome grounds of a team
which hard luck seemingly had rob-
bed every game they had played this
season, and which was fighting des-
perately in a last mighty effort to
win, Wesleyan defeated Huron col
lege in their annual battle 10 to O
at Huron Friday.
The game was thrilling in the ex-
IRENE. Both teams repeatedly car
ried the bali within scoring distance
of the opponents goal and in the
shadow of the goalposts, the stone
wall formed, the ball changed hands
and was kicked out Of the danger
zone. Forward passes slipped from
nervous hands when but to hold
them meant victory. e
Payne scored by the air route in
the second quarter. His 45-yard drop
kick against a stiff breeze went
%squarely between the uprights and
several yards above them. Eat"
Smith Intercepted a pass in the
last minute of play, and aided ty
Payne's superb interference ran
40 yards for a touchdown.
The Methodists worked as a unit
and no individual completely out
shown the rest. Payne, Knox and
Melvin Chase played, strong games.
Berry displayed the best form he has
shown this season at quarter and
ran the team in fine shape. His de-
fensive work was spectacular. To
Ross Smith belongs the credit for
lnterceptlng five of Huron's passes
besides playing his usual strong
game on offense. Smith at center
played steadily and at times brilliant
ly.
Fol Huron, Dickey was a tower of
strength. Practically no gains were
made around his end. Repeatedly he
broke tahrough the interference
and nailed the runne for a loss. He
gained consistently on offense.
Schroeder was especially strong on
offense, ripping through the Wesley
an line for good gains. Broe n
ed the team we'll at quarter.
Huron started fiercely and carried
the ball into Wesleyan territory,
where it remained all of the first
quarter. They easily outplayed the
Methodists but were unable to score
In the second period, Coach Her
bert Hardy's men hit their stride
and carried the hall back into the
Presbyterian's territory where Payne
negotiated a pretty field goal.
The game was a see-saw in the
center of the field until the last
quarter. Ploying a desperate game,
Huron carried the ball to the Wes-
leyan 10-yard line. The Methodists
held and Huron tried a forward pass
Berry just touched it as 1t went
over the goal line, but with the game
depending upon him. the Huron end
muffed it. Payne's long punt rolled
clear across the field and a period of
titantic struggle ensued. With but
a minute to play, the Wesleyan cen
ter grabbed a pas and loped to the
Huron goal. Payne kicked goal.

speaker said, a piece Of furniture
made by the hand Of Christ. Sup
pose we picked it up reverently to
examine it, and found before us a

the truths Of religion would pale
before that one example of shift
lessness. But the Christ, in all the

tasks was never guilty of a care

benefit Of the next generation. DR..
Lichliter again paused to describe
the play by the Russian dramatist
Gorky, "a Refuge for the Night'
"A story which carried a mighty
lesson to his soul. (3) Modernity.
Our scholars must be alert to catch
God s message in the commonplace.
They must be contemporary preach
ers Of contemporary righteous
ness. 1t is man s understanding
of current problems that makes him
great. If scholar would uplift
his age he must first Of all under
stand his age; he must translate
the ideals Of the early Christians
into the terms Of today. The fun
damentals Of religion can never
change, but their expression must;
they must be in conformity with
the thought forms and customs of
the age. The modern man is a
man who is mastered by the forces
of tomorrow. These young friends
may leave the college but they dare
not leave their books. Our age de-
mands the last word in every pro-
fession. DR.. Lichliter referred to
the German poet, Goethe, who
when seen, a gray-haired man,
with an armload Of books, was
laughed at by a young Heidelberg
graduate. The poet replied, "Ah,
yes, | carry my satchel still.''
In closing the speaker addressed
himself especially to the members
Of the graduating class, telling
them their college would send them
forth with the inspiration Of reli-
gion. "Much depends tomorrow,
young men," the speaker said, "on
your IDEALS - The narrowing
lust Of gold' will fascinate; you
will be tempted to walk the prim-
rose path until your feet are too
soft to walk the finty road to the
heights. | leave with you the chal-

thought: the great are working;
they are not triumphing.' The
speaker described as his ideal the

by all the glittering of |
royalty, turned aside after his
day work was done, to minister
to human kind. Zone hour of life
like that is worth an age Of frivol-
lty. BE a man, young friends, a
