game resulted in the only defeat of the
year, which was by the close margin of
10 to 3, Yale was beaten. however. and
so was Pittsburgh.
During the past season, Folwell's team
lost only TO Pittsburgh. Yale, Lafayette
and Lehigh being among the teams
beaten. The Pittsburgh defeat was the
first in four seasons In the annual battle
between Pitt and W. and j. In four
years at Washington and Jefferson,

1900 TO select from, Folwell has lost but
four games
Pennsylvanian sizes Folwell up in the
following manner and he hits the nail on

and can teach it, His men respect him
and never question anything he suggests.
In addition to coaching the team, he acts
as trainer, and has kept his men in re-
markable physical condition. ON the
field he is a hard taskmaster but has a
wonderful personality, and his men en-
thuse over their work because Folweu is
an excellent mixer. J never saw a coach
as popular with his men as Folwell Is. -
Folwell has announced that he favors
Bill Hollenback for the position IN case
the committee refuses to consider him.
and also says that Hollenback will be an
assistant IL he is selected by the COM

THE CHURCH AS
ASOC|AL CENTER
"A Broader Sphere for Religlon--New
Field for the Rural Church.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The social duty of the rural church
Is as much a part of it's obligations
IS its spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
1t is expressing true religious in
stinct and the old-time idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was over
fed with solid theological food, is fast
giving way to broader interpreta-
ton of the functions of true religion.
We take our place in the succession
Of those who have sought to make the
world a fit habitation for the children
Of man when we seek to study and
understand the social duty of the
rural church. The true christian re-
Hgion is essentially social-its tenets
Of faith being love and brotherhood
and fellowship. While following after
aighteousness, the church must chal-

fenge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life is ex-
pressed While cherishing ideals Of
service, the rural church which 1T
Eains the fullest measure Of success
IS that which enriches as many lives
IS it can touch, and in no way can
the church come in as close contact
With its members as through the
avenue of social functions.
The country town and the rural
Community need social center. The
church need offer no apology for its
ambition to fill this need in the COM
munity, if an understanding Of its
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure of q
rural community is exceedingly com
plex; it contains many social groups,
each of which has it's own center, but
Ehere are many localities which have
but one church and although such
q church cannot command the inter
est of all the people, it is relieved
from the embarrassment Of religiously
divided communities.

RURAL SOCIAL cENTERs

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di-
rection Of cultured, clean and COM
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm, life mora
attractive as we'll as the business of
farming more remuneratiVe. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives Of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements Of human
thought and activity.

at harvest time The Farmers Unions
in the cotton producing states have
