FRESHMEN STUBBORN
BUT LOSE TO VARSITY
Harper's First String Men Slip Over
Four TOuchdOwns for
go Score.

"Deac" Jones freshmen put UP a
stubborn resistance to the Notre Dame
varsity eleven on Cartier field yester-
day afternoon, and, although the first
string men were able to slip over four
touchdowns on the yearlings in the
first half, the seconds could not gain
effectively against the first year men
in the second half, and failed to score.
The final count showed the varsity on
the long end of a 27 TO 0 score.
The battle put up by the freshmen
was a surprise to the roOters on the
sidelines. The linemen, from end to
end. showed wonderful Improvement
in their play and the team as a whole
was a different aggregation than that
which lined up against the varsity last
Saturday.
Two of the varsity touchdowns were
made on forward passes. On each OF
these occasions, Phelan, after skill
fully eluding several tacklers, made
splendid passes to Edward and the
little veteran scored both times.
Phelan scored the first and second
touchdowns on line bucks, after line
smashes and end runs had carried the
ball to within striking distance of the
yearling goal. 1t is claimed that the
varsity accidentally had five downs to
make goal on when they scored their
first touchdown.
The freshies were full of fight from
the beginning OF the battle but lost the
ball on the offensive several times
through costly fun bles, twice near
their own goal line. Murphy, the
| little yearling quarterback, made two
runs that brought applause from the
sidelines. The freshmen's offense i'm
proved considerably in the second
half.
The yearlings could do nothing
against the varsity on the offensive in
the first half but in the second ses-
sion they had more success and got
away with one pretty forward pass
play from Allison to Thomas.

Football Prospects Dealt Severe Blow
When Players Fall Back
i'm Studies.

Coach Metzlers high school team
was entirely disrupted Thursday when
13 members of his football squad were
declared ineligible on account of their
school work. Prospects for a tan and
blue team like the ones several years
ago when northern Indiana and state
championships were common things
have been anything but bright this
year, and when Z. I. KiZer, assistant
principal. issued the edict Thursday,
practically all chance Of winning Sat
urday's game was lost.
The team was to have gone to Wa
karusa Saturday TO meet the down
staters and although the opponents
are an unknown quantity the men
had hopes Of starting the season with
a win. So far the game has not been
cancelled, and it is probable that
Coach MetZler will take the remnants
OF his squad to Wakarusa, although
defeat is almost certain.
Most of the members Of the team
who were declared ineligible were first
team prospects. All Of the tackles
have been put off the squad while
only two of the regular backfield men
are left to play. The men have been
made ineligible for next Saturdays

to have all of his men back for the
Mishawaka game the following week.
Coach Metzler did not attend the
practice Thursday afternoon. He ap-

who escaped the ineligibility decree

Sent Out for Meeting Church
men of State

Columbus, o., Nov 27-Call went
out today for a meeting of church
men from every city, village and ru-
raj community in Ohio, to be held in
| Columbus, Dec. 8, for the purpose of
organizing a state federation of the
churches, simila" to those now exist
| ing in 20 other states, The hope of
| leaders in the movement is to elimi-
nate eventually the spirit of narrow
! sectarianism which they say now
causes gross waste of money and eff
fort and overlapping of church fields.
The conference will be held sim
ultaneously with those of the Com
mission on Church and Country life
and the executive committee of the
Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America, and inter-denOmi-
national organization, scheduled for
Dec 8, 9 and 10. The call for the
Ohio meeting was issued by Rev.
Roy B. Guild, New York, executive
secretary of the federal councils
commission on federated movements.
On a later date special attention
will be given the rural districts at
the conference of Ohio church lead
ers, Rev. Gill said today. Unifica-
tion of religious efforts there is nee
essitiated he suggested, by facts
shown in a recent survey of Ohio.
Only one-third of the country
churches are growing. There are
far too many churches and their dis
tricts overlap They have as mem
bers less than 40 per cent. of the
population because they insist too
much on sectarianism and too little
on community service.
President Wilson in his address
before the commission on Dec. 10,
and Clifford Pinchot on Dec. 8, are eX-
pected to emphasize the Importance
of cooperation among both city and
country churches.
AS an example typical Of what a
county or state federation of church
es might be expected to do, the en-
terprise of the Cleveland city fedora
ton is cited Churches there work.
