likely be called into the game from
time to time to again show his
ability.
"Connie" Wills shot fouls in
good form at the end or last sea-
son, but this year he has been un-
able to get his eye on the basket.
"Connie" is one Of the best shots
on the squad, and when he gets
going DelaWare's end Of the score
will commence to pile up.
Several games were lost last
year by one or two points and if
Delaware had averaged half the
fouls called the tide of victory
would have been turned. The coach
fears that the same thing is liable
to occur this year and much Of his
attention will be given toward
making a guard whom opposing
teams know is to be considered.
There is little question as to the
ability of the men to play basket
ball and as soon as rney get going
and begin to show a little team
work DeIaware's basketball fol
lowers will be greeted with a few
victories

Basket Ball Pros
pect At Delaware

Delaware basketball players
started practice, which had been
discontinued dun ing the mid-year
exams, on Monday. The men are
down to hard work in the hope of
making a good showing during the
remainder Of the year. The team
to date has lacked the consistency
necessary to win games.
The team plays real basketball,
however in the Baltimore Poly
technic game and easily defeated
the BaltimOreans by the score of
% to 6. This victory was largely
due to a little comeback" spirit
after the crushing defeat at the
hands of Temple University.
The Swarthmore game was not
such an overwhelming defeat as the
40 to II score might indicate, since
a large number Of Swarthmore s
points were due to the fouls COM
mitted by Delaware. Nevertheless
the same fault was obvious in Del
aware's team work. The team
showed flashes of form and at
times played Swarthmore to a
stamdstill, but inconsistent playing
allowed them to be outclassed and
prevented a closer score.
The team badly feels the need of
a good foul shooter and the coach
has tried hard to remedy this de-
feet. The two Horsey boys seem
to be developing as good foul goal
tOssers.
Lacklen and Geoghegan are
holding down the forward posi-
tions on the varsity this year, and
though both are good shots they
are still to be heard from.
Lacklen was high scorer last
year and everybody is waiting to
see eddie" get started. When
he does he will give visiting de-
fence men plenty to worry about.
This year is Geoghegan's first on
the varsity. "Hop" is one of the
"lanky kind of basketballers and
he has lately shown greatly i'm,
proved floor work.
"Billy" Cam s defence work is
beyond criticism if he plays the
same style Of game the demainder
of the season there will be few
high scorers on the visiting teams
Cam is the only man on the team
who has played a consistent game
and with his three years past ex,
perience he was the only one on the
squad able to toss fouls, but since
their lack of weight handicaps
the Horseys for a varsity position
it seems that the coach will have
to look further. H. Horsey. shot
eight straight fouls in the Swarth-
more game and he will more than

The horrors of war as portrayed
by Mr.. Cobb are enough to startle
hardened criminal. He tells OF
seeing soldiers in tatters and
streams of wounded pouring back
from the front endlessly. 1t is a
strictly neutral word picture he
paints in the interest Of humanity
in the future. The title of the ar
ticle is "The War Blight.

A PLEDGE OF THE
NEW PATRIOTISM
By Rev. Charles S. Medbury

To this day that is mine, my
country's and my Gods, [ dedi-
cate my all. My talents everyone,
shall be held subject to the sight
draft Of the emergencies of others.
I will enlarge my soul by love
for those from whom | find myself
recoiling. No man shall ever feel
his color or his caste in my pres

there shall be no consciousness OF
it. The man who has fallen shall
find in me friend, the woman
down, helper. But more than
this, those falling shall have my
trust that they may still stand.
No name shall ever pass my lips
that hurts another in things OF
face, form, station, or estate. My
own weakness, foibles, sins, shall
chasten speech and spirit. My life
shall be a dedicated thing. I shall
count it desecl alton 70 pervert it.

and greed shall not be permitted
to despoil.
And thus I evolve, not because
/ am good, but that I want to be
not because [ am strong, but that
[ fear weakness; not that [ feel
above others, but that with all my
soul I long to be of humankind
both helped and helper.
So do [ dedicate my days. So dc
| set apart my culture. So do [ re.
ceive but to give again to others
So do | press humbly into the pres
ence of the sacrifcial Son of Man
crying out in eager conservation
Let me follow Thee, Master, wher
ever the world still needs ministry
wherever life is still to be given fol

M0ONSHINER CAUGHT
REVENUE MEN RAID STILL IN
WOODS NEAR AMIGO.
Mash and Finished Product Is Found
When officers Enter Abandoned
Lumber Camp.

Milwaukee.-For the first time in
many years a successful raid on
northern Wisconsin moonshine plant
was carried out near Amigo by gov
eminent men when, under the leader
ship of Revenue Agent James o'Brien,
an exceedingly active still was sur
prised under cover of darkness and
William Coon, a Kentuckian, acknowl-
edged leader of transplanted southern
ers, taken into custody.
The Illicit still was in an abandoned
lumber camp, and from the evidences
of permanency. doubtless had been
operated for considerable length of
time in what Coon considered com
parative safety, being in wild section
and of difficult access. The raiding
party found fully $50 gallons of mash
and ten gallons of the finished prod
uct. Mr.. O'Brien estimated that in one
week the plant was capable of turning
out several hundred gallons of moon
shine whisky.
Coon was the only person at the
still, and he was so taken by surprise
that any attempt at resistance would
have been useless. None was offered.
After inspecting the place thoroughly,
the revenue men removed the worm of
the still and other parts sufficient to
be used as evidence, and removed their
man to Amigo, where he was locked
up.
Mr. O'Brien declares that there are
other Illicit stills operated by Ken
tuckians in the fastness of northern
Wisconsin, and that his department
will work night and day to eliminate
them. There have been false alarms
and empty handed raids from time to
time in the past few years, but moth
ing has been accomplished until now
A fine as high as $500 and three
years Imprisonment may be inflicted
in case such as Coon's.

SEVERAL IMPORTANT CHANGES
MADE IN GAME LAW BY
LEGISLATORS.
HUNTERS ARE DISPLEAsED
Stringent Measures Were Found
Necessary TO Prevent Fraudulent
Sale of Game-No More
Steak Dinners.

Madison changes not here
tofore made plain, have been made in
the new game laws, the most import
ant of which probably is the serving of
wild meats. According to the new law
the meat of any deer, wild bird, or
trout other than lake trout, cannot be
served at any club, hotel, restaurant
or camp at any time, while other wild
animal may be served only during the
open season.
The law is not looked upon with
favor by large number of deer hun
ters who go into the woods, and upon
their return usually have large piece
of meat prepared at some club and in
vite their friends for the feast.
The object of the law is to prevent
the Translucent sale of game. There
has been a law in force for several
years covering this point, but many
hunters got around it by saying they
gave the meat away and at the same
time accepting money in an indirect
way. Now though, they cannot even
give it away without being liable.
The law as it now reads is as fol-
lows: No keeper, manager, or stew
ard of any restaurant, club, hotel,
boarding house, logging camp, or min
ing camp shall sell, barter, serve, or
give or cause to be sold, bartered,
served or given to guests or boarders
thereof, the meat of any deer, wild
bird, or trout of any variety other than
lake trout, at any time; or the meat
of any other wild animal during the
closed season therefor.

Milwaukee.-When Il e tents at the
state fair park had been folded and the
owners had silently moved away, the
figures of the attendance, receipts and
expenses were totaled, and the exhibit
ton for 1915 was pronounced sue
cess.
More than 10000 more persons at
tended this fair than the exhibit a year
ago. OF course more than $4,000 chill
dren were admitted free while only
5000 children saw the display last
year. But the larger number bene-
flied from the displays, which is the
real object of the fair.
Indications are that the receipts will
fall few hundred dollars short of last
years, but it was not possible to de-
termine the exact amount The Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
had not been heard from, but it was
unofiicially stated that the association
had disposed of $4,000 tickets.
1t is expected that the receipts will
total near $4,000. There win be de-
felt of about $4,000 Officials for the
fair were confident that had the
weather given them anywhere near a
square deal on the week they would
have made money.
Already plans are being made for
1916. The fair will undoubtedly be on
paying basis, according to the Off
Gals Secretary Remey was confident
that there would have been a credit of
several thousand dollars instead of a
deficit had the weather been fair.
