BIG ATHLETIC DAY
WaShburn Football Field
Busy Place Saturday.
College, III. S. and Grade School
Boys All Out.

Washburn field was a busy place
Saturday. Several events were pulled
off that were not scheduled, but new
ertheless very interesting and instruc-
tive. Before Q o'clock the small school
boys. full of energy and pep following
the first long week of compulsory at
tendance at school arrived at the field
headgeared and armored for the fray
A little later Coach Bearg and ms
husky high school lads fully equipped
and anxious for the fray put in an ap-
pearance. These two groups occupied
he field for the forenoon
The first event staged was the kids
game. Headed by Coach Kennedy's
son Bud" years of age, the fourth
grade boys OF Central Park school
numbered a squad of fully twenty
players. Their opponents, the repre-
sentatives of the same grade from
College Hill school, only could muster
seven. but their leader refused to put
in ringers and faced the Central Park
eleven with his small but we'll chosen
PLAYERS With a foreboding of what
might he in store for his small play
mates the captain prudently remark
ed I'VE are not here to beat, but to
nave some fun
Too Many Men.
And fun it surely was. Coach Ken
needy refereed the game, and the gath
ering of high school boys acted as
spectators and rooters and general ad-
visors In the first place it was some
lob for the twenty Central Park boys
to contract their players to the re-
uuired numbers. especially as the auth-
ority of captain had not been estab-
lished. However, one future Wash-
burn prospect dresses in the latest ana
most accepted style of football toggery,
and doubtless assuming authority for
that very reason chose his lineup and
the fray was on. College Hill had no
such trouble. Their seven men
could not even comply with the rules
But a little more organization and the
fewer numbers seemed to help in that
it kept down internal dissension and
made the contest an even one.
During the first half of about TWEEN
~ minutes. time not being taken out
for delay, neither side could score
aItho once Central Park took the ball
by end runs and tackle bucks to the
5-vard line But poor judgment in
calling plays gave the cur.ailed eleven
from College Hill their chance and
they responded by making a goal lire
stand and taking the ball on downs
from their benunbered opponents.
The Second Half.
In the second half each side received
some recruits. 1t was surprising how
many biz boys of twelve and thirteen
wears of age We're willing 20 be de-
NOTED al d take up the burdens of the
fourth grade. Neither side seemed
much disturbed by eligibility rules.
Yet it must be said to the ,redit of
the small squad from College Hill th4t
they pinned their faith to their orig
inal seven, and fought Il game fight
In the closing moments of the sec
ond half Central Park scored q touch
down but missed goal and the game
was called to permit the big boys to

CATHOLIC CHURCH WRECKED
STORM DESTROYS CHURCH FOR
CATHOLIC NEGROES AT RoLEY,
oKLA.-STATUE OF THE BLESS
ED VIRGIN UNINJURED.

The windstorm which visited Okla
homa on the night of June % lifted
the newly built Catholic Church at
Boley from it's foundation and in
flicted considerable damage on the
building This church had been built
for the Catholic negroes of Boley, the
largest exclusively negro city in the
United States, and the building had
been made possible mainly through the
generosity of Catholics residing else
where
Father Caudron of Henryetta, Okla,
had personally superintended the con-
struction of the church and it has con-
tinued as a mission attached to his
parish.
One notable feature connected with
the wrecking of the church was that
the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary
which stood upon a temporary pedes.
tai consisting of a nail keg was found
to be intact after the storm. 1t had
retained its position despite the wreck
ing of the church and was first discov
cred by the contractor from Okmulgee
who had come to estimate the cost OF
repairing the edifiee. The work of re
pairing will begin at once.

JESUIT CARTOGRAPHER
FATHER RoRLET MADE THE.
FIRST MAP OF MADAGASCAR Is
LAND.

To Jesuit missionary, the late Rev.
Desire Roblet, belongs the honor of
having drawn the first map of NADIA
gascar. He went to the island In 1862,
a pioneer in what is one Of the most
difficult mission areas i'm the world.
A map of the island being needed, he
was commissioned to draw it. The
task of surveying tract $50 miles
long with mountain chain having
peaks 10000 feet high was herculean
task, but Father Roblet accepted it.
Thenceforth began the famous sur
vey'' which surely stands alone in
modern map-making annals. For Fa-
ther Roblet had the very qualities of
all others which make successful ex-
plorer. Indomitably persevering and
enthusiastic, he was possessed of one
of those incompatible physiques that
seem the special gift of so many mis-.
sionaries.
We. are told that the Jesuit cartOg-
rapher would tramp all day over the
toughest tracts of country, armed only
with his case of instruments, and .
scanty supply of soldiers biscuits and
water, leaving his porters and car
riers exhausted in the rear while he
pushed on. knowing no rest on thai
Iamazing journey.
