! He was brakeman on the passenger
train running from New London to

YALE ENERGIES FROM
BATTLE UNscARRED.
Save Weidepan, Who Twisted His
Ankle.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 14.-With
the exception Of Weideman, the right
end, the Yale football team emerged
from its victory over Princeton on
Saturday in good physical shape.
Weideman has a twisted knee and it is
doubtful If he will be able to play
against Harvard. Higginbotham or
Mosely will take his place.
The players enjoyed long automobile
rides into the country today. The
work during the coming week will be
light, and special attention will be
given to improving the offense, as well
as developing the ends in anticipation
of the wide end runs of Captain Ma
han of Harvard.
The squad will leave on Thursday
for Auburndale. Mass, and will remain
there until the game with the Crimson.
The celebration of the Princeton vic
tory continued until the early morning
hours today, and it was one of the
noisiest demonstrations here IN recent
years.
The New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company issued a
statement today showing that the
company carried 1920 passengers to
and from the game without a mishap.
This is record for a Princeton game
here, being 1000 more than two years
ago. OF the As trains regular and
special, 80 were on time and the others
only a few minutes late. Fourteen
trains arrived in New Haven ahead OF
schedule time.

THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT.
Considered BY Rev. Myies p. Calvin in
Series Of Sermons at st. Patrie&s
Church.

The Fifth Commandment, Thou Shalt
Not Kill, was the theme of the ser
mon at the high mass in st. Patricks
church Sunday. the preacher being
Rev. Myles p. Galven. This command
of God prohibits anything which works
injury to the life of man, either of
body on soul. God alone is the Mas
ter of life and death. Hence man
must not do injury to anylife. even
to his own.
More important even than destroying
the life of the body is the destruction
of the life of the soul. The preacher
explained how the soul can be work.
ed injury. when. perhaps, the life Of
the body is taken away at a time
when the soul may not be in a state
entirely pleasing to God.
Blameworthy, too, are all those oc-
casions of sin which lead to the taking
of life-quarrels. anger, revenge,
drunkenness, bad company and the
like.
The life of another may be mar
red by vengeance. resentment, impa-
thence, anger; and the preacher point
ed out the inconsistency of those who
profess to be Christians, yet fail to
follow the example of Christ, who suf-
fered for sinners. yet even while on the
cross. far from showing resentment to-
ward or desiring vengeance against
those who had crucified Him, besought
His Heavenly Father to forgive them,
even made excuses for them in His
petition, Father, forgive them for
they know not what they dol"
