PROBLEM
Has Coach Matthews Of The
Kenyon Team
In Getting Green Material
Into Shape

Gambler, Sept. 19--COach X. l.. Mat
thews of the Kenyon football team
has a difficult problem staring him in
the face, namely, that Of rounding a
squad of green material into shape
enough to make a creditable showing
for the college gridiron this season.
OF last years team, Captain Harry
Gayer is the only man back in school
up to date who could be classed as a
regular. Doll, the brawny Sophomore
from Canton, is the only other letter
man. True, Kinder, Eckerle, England
and Axtell had experience in 1913
contests and got into a number Of
games, but none was classed as reg
ular. However, these men are very
strong players and fight to the last
core, so the proposition is far from
hopeless.
The entering Freshmen give prom
Use in abundance. Possibly the best
individual player who has shown up
SO far in uniform on Benson field is
Kelly of Fostoria. Hailing from the
same town and with a reputation Of
being a better player, Kelly will sup
ply the vacancy caused by CaIIin's not
returning to school. Then there is a
husky youth at full-back who goes by
the name of Gutenberg, and who
made the all-scholastic mythical team
selected by the Cleveland newspapers.
He got his football training at Lin
coin high school and tips the scales
at 1856 pounds. Another all-Cleveland
player is a Shaw graduate, Zeaman
by name, and his work at tackle so
far has been a revelation. The lar
gest man on the squad is Wendell
Southard of Toledo, who weighs over
200 pounds and is over six feet in
height. The weight is of the solid
kind and not flabby at all. Southard
played center in his high school days,
but may be developed into a lines
man.
Morrill, of Bellevue is almost the
equal of Southard in weight and has
played the game all his life. Gregg of
Minneapolis has shown unusual speed
at half-back and is solidly built, while
Stout. another Fostoria product.
seems capable of doing great things
at end He boasts no great weight,
140 pounds being his limit, but is
speedy on his feet and a sure tackler.
Although the season is still very
early, Coach Matthews had hard
scrimmage practice yesterday after
noon, but let the boys OH earlier than
usual There will probably be sew
eral changes in the style of play to
be used by Kenyon this season, as
might be gathered from watching the
formations Friday afternoon. These
changes will be chiefly in getting IN
der way forward passes and promise
II be very effective.

HUMANITY

If those who hate would love us, And all our loves were true, The stars that shine above Us Would brighten in the blue. If cruel words were kisses,
 And every scowl a smile, 4 better world than this Is
 Would hardly be worth while. If purses would untlghten
 To help a brothers need, The load we bear would Tighten Above the grave of greed. Is those who whine would whistle And those who languish laugh, The rose would rout the thistle And the grain Outrun the chaff. If hearts were always jolly. If grieyiag were forgot And tears and melancholy Were things that now are not. Then love would kneel to duty, .. And all the world would seem . A briday bower of beauty 4 dream, within dream.

PRINCE OF FoRGERs.
HiB Work Was Autograph Letters, out
 He Became Too Brazeu.

Irene Lucas. beyond all question,
 was the greatest counterfeiter of auto graph letters. at least as regards amount produced. that the world has ever seen. Twenty.seyen thousand letters. all from famous people, is no Emean record and one that may remain forever unequaled.
 It must be admitted that Lucas was Exceptionally favored by the friend ship of Michel Chasles, the famous French mathematician, who from 1861 to 1889 was steady client and bought almost the total output, paying in all 10000 francs. This was not n large lsum. considering that among the let ters he acquired were six from Alex ander the Great to Aristotle. chal- lenge from Julius Caesar to Vercinge- torix, three missives of Cleopatra ad- dressed respectively to Cato. Caesar and pompey: one from Germius Julius to Jesus, one from Aeschylus to Py- tha9Oras, twelve from Jeanne d'Arc, one from Judas to Mary Magdalene, one from Lazarus. ten from Pontius PilRte. one from Sappho, one from MObammed to the king of France, ex- cerpts from the writings of CaIigula, Dante. Spinoza. Luther Rubens. St. Jerome and a multitude of hardly less CT personalities
 It is true that Michel Chasles did make some objection to the fact that these letters were in French. whereas it is not stated historically that Caesar and Cleopatra, for example, were-fn the habit of using that tongue for their private correspondence. But Lu- cas- parried this protest in q way that was in keeping with his dignity as collector of famous letters by offering to take back all he had sold to Chasles and return to him the 10000 francs. Chases was so touched with this con vIncing proof of his sincerity that the discussion ending in his lending Lucas 20 louis to meet some pressing Obliga- tiOns.
 How man having need of $50 could return $2S,0O0 requires great mathe- matician to determine.
 It was the greed of England in wish ing to keep for Isaac Newton the hon. or of discovering the law of gravita- ton that caused the bubble to burst and deprived Lucas of steady and very genteel occupation.
 With such sOlemnity as beiitted striking proof of the worlds indebted. ness to France, Michel Chasles pre- sented to the Academy of Sciences a letter from Blaise Pascal to Newton, dated May 20 1GJi, and proving be- yond all question that he (PascaD was really the discovcrer of the law uSual- ly attributed to Newton.
 It is true that at the date of this let ter Newton was hardly eleven years oId-rather young to have attracted the attention of the great PaScal-but there was still another proof of the falSity of the document. The author is made to speak of 'la mousse du cafe" and coffee was not introduced into France until seven years after his death.
 All England arose ahd protested. They had, given their gold medal to Michel Chases, but they insisted on keeping universal gravitaGOn.
 Shortly afterward Lucas was brought to trial. and a sentence of two years Imprisonment ended a career not with out entertaining elements. - OrYiIle Peets in New York Tribune.
