HARRY HARRIS MAY
BECOME A FARMER

1t was learned On good authority last
night that Harry Harris. the former
Washington high school athlete and crack
quarter back Of Dean Academy, at
Franklin, Mass, would enter the Mary
land Agriculture College next week.
Harris during his four years in the local
high school athletic ranks was an all
star player, and since soJourning at the
Massachusetts school has been the back
bone of the team.
This year his team mates honored him
with the position OF captain. and as the
team has lost but one game this season
his regime was a huge success Harris
many friends in this city will be glad to
hear that Harris will cast his lot with
the Maryland Farmers 1t is hoped that
Harris will have the same success at tine
Maryland school as he has had at the
Washington high schools and Dean.

H. The Virginia eleven Is working man
fully In preparation for the contest,
knowing full well what they are soins
up against when then meet Dan Nc

The Commodores are credited with
having one of the strongest offensive
teams IN the South. of which fact the
4l6 points they have rolled I'D AGAINST
their opponents Is evidence. and Coach
Harry Warner Is training his men with
the plays that Vanderbilt uses IN prepa-
ration for defense against them.
DR.. W. A Lambeth, who saw the game
between Vandy and Tennessee. was much
impressed with the strength OF the Nash
Vile eleven. and Ed Findlay also added
his praises to their ability, So there Is
little danger of overconndence IN local
ranks. However. 1t Is safe to say that
a battle royal will be held, with odds
favoring virginia, because her defense Is
almost impregnable and her attack
very severe one when put In operation
All the men are In good condition-in
much better condition, in fact. than for
any big gams heretofore this season.
Bill Stuart will likely so back IN satur-
day. which will mean the addition OF
tower Of strength to Coach Warmers line
and bolster up the local defense consid-
erably.
Tippett. Berkeley and Thurman are prac-
ticing punts and drop-kcking. as It Is
most likely that this department OF the

final score
Virginia will oppose to vanderbilt's Of
tense a defense successfully tested
against Yale and Harvard. while she will
batter the Commodores' INFESTED line
with Mayer. Ed Anderson, Tippett and
Spar. Her drive has increased notice
ably the last Two weeks. and what was
hitherto a primarily defensive team has
showed a consistent attack. vandy has
not as yet been subjected to the acid
test of a strong attack, her victories
having been chiefly over weaker eleven..
and It is safe to say that she will have
to be a human stone wall to defend her
goal line against the plunges and end
runs and punts OF the Orange and Blue.

Methodist. Talk Of Union.

A council of Methodist bishops, sitting at Des
Moines, has named a committee TO take the pre-
mary steps looking TO the union Of the three
branches of the church in the United States
How to approach the task will be for this COM
mittee to determine, and. when the clearing
away process has gone far enough. the ACTUAL
work will be undertaken. This is not going to
be accomplished in a little while. II Is one Of
the peculiarities Of religion that it only takes
little thing to start q schism, but once IL Is
started II seems all but impossible to remove It..
The fine shades OF distinction that separate the
sects are continual source OF wonderment to
observers from the outside but to those who are
on the inside these apparently insignificant diff
feronces are ell but impossible walls.
The step proposed by the Methodists is a
wise one. II will not only have the effect of
simplifying the religious practices Of the church,
but II will make possible more effective ad-
ministration OF It's material affairs, by removing
such impediments as the duplication OF effort,
lack Of uniformity and similar defects in man
agement. Even this is not go easy Of accom-
plishment NJ the Presbyterians have discovered.
In the course OF their movement for consoii-
dating the church in America. Property inter-
eAts have arisen. out Of which certain vested
rights have developed. and the adjustment OF
these Is a most vexatous undertaking
However. the Methodists may be able TO es-
cape some Of the embarrassment their Presby-
terrain brethren have encountered Their step
IL IN the right direction and II carried out, will
have the direct effect OF Increasing the eff
cheney Of the church as a factor in the advance
OF civilization.

England Not Yet for Prohibition.

A doubled excise tax on alcoholic beverages
will take the place Of prohibition in the British
kingdom, and the danger point in the war Is
again passed Lloyd-George has taken advantage
of the agitation to turn a little more revenue
nto the royal exchequer. but the debate shows
the cause OF prohibition to be hopeless. Even
the clergy declined to take the pledge of
total abstinence, even with the example Of the
king to sustain them. The good archbishop Of
Canterbury said he had once tried abstinence
and found It did not agree with him. and this
view seems to be the more popular.
The outcome Of the agitation Is not surpris-
ing. The Bee at the beginning pointed out
that the British public was not so amenable to
royal command as the Russian, and the national
habit of taking drink was too deeply rooted TO
be easily eradicated. In making the final an
nouncement of the disposition OF the question,
Lloyd-George told the House OF Commons II
prepared to take pledge never to politically
touch drink again." His sincerity In this will
hardly be questioned. 1t is quite easy to under
stand that the present chancellor OF the
exchequer, as well as the other members OF the
cabinet, will be very willing TO retire when the
burden of their present task Is lifted from
them.
