The battle between Dartmouth and

COLUMBIA OPENS FOOTBALL
SEASON SATURDAY.
Team Developing Steady Under Coach
MetcalFs Directions.

Columbia gets its first football test
this week, when 1t opens the season on
Saturday with a game with St Law
renee university. So far the develop
ment of the team has been steady, II
slow. because Nelson Metcalf the head
coach. and his assistants were deter
mined to ground the eleven thoroughly
in fundamentals. This was made the
more necessary for the reason that not
q man on the varsity squad that re-
ported last month had played football
IN two years, and many Of them had
not touched a pigskin in three years.
Although the scrimmages have not
been as frequent as Metcah would have
liked them, he was willing to sacrifice
everything to getting the squad. on q
firm foundation. and II Is probable that
most of the real constructive work will
be done following the opening game.
Therefore judgment OF the eleven based
on its showing against st. Lawrence
will probably have to be revised later
on. when Metcalf gets things working
smoothly.
1t has been apparent that although
the eleven is equipped with fair Of

into use the forward pass in its simpler
phases and the usual assortment OF

"God lends us things to love,
and He takes them away"

and He takes them away"
On the night of March II, 1915,
at 1910 a. M, the death angel
visited our home and took from
our charmed circle a dear face
which is missed from it's accus-
toned place.
But cleansed, perfected, saved
by grace. Miss Kate Myrtle
Beard was born Oct. 81, 1894,
age 81 years, 4 months and Is
days. And at the age of 10 years
professed faith in Christ and be-
came member of Thompson
Creek Baptist church, and from
that time she lived the life of a
devout Christian, she read Gods
word, attended church and did
not forget to pray. She leaves a
mother, father, five sisters and
two brothers besides a host of
friends to mourn her loss.
After a brief illness and much
patient suffering she was taken
from our midst to grace the home
of the higher and Almighty, where
separation can be no more.
Her death was a symbol of her
life, sweet kind and patient, con-
sidering more the care and anx-
iety of others than her self. She
seemed to have a presentment
from the first that she would
soon say goodbye here on earth
to say good morning in heaven.
She spoke of her journey home,
and said she would not be afraid.
She heard music and sang twice.
To those who loved her will say,
Mourn net for Myrtle though like the
flower,
Just opening to the morning ray,
Nipped by diseases cruel power,
They fell from loves embrace away,
Where breaths no chill or tainted air,
Where falls no darkness of the tomb,
They prove the loving Saviors care,
And blossom in immortal bloom.
A loving sister,
MRS. V. NJ. BAKER.
