MEN UNTEfED ~ COL
LEGE CIRCLES.
Material This SEASON j. t"nP"se'
Largely Of High SCHOOL Sta's
and Team VIII Necessarily
Re Fast One.

Coach Bivens is working hard
this week to whip the Trinity hfs'
team into shape for the game Friday
afternoon with John Tarleton col
leee. Just how well he is succeeding
cannot be told until the referee s
whistle has sounded and the team
gets in action. OF one thing there
- every assurance and that is BiVehs
Las brought together a classy buneh
of individual young players, and lis
up to him 10 develop the team work
necessary to make the Trinity eleven
a formidable organization. He IS
rot going to have the aid and CO.
operation of college veterans in the
fight for the championship honors,
but instead will have fast young
Elayers; who have a future before
them.
A majority of the players are high
school boys of just the age to begin
to take on a knowledge of the game.
For speed it is doubtful If any OF the
college or university teams nave
Trinity bested. The entire back
field is very fast. 1t is believed that
with speedy men for backs and
heavy line the team can
get away with forward passes and
sweeping end runs that will bring
victory to Trinity camps. 1t is
evident that the fast open play will
be very effective this season the
same as last.
Wednesday afternoon there we're
twenty or thirty men in suits and
each and every one was on his toes
in an effort to make the team. =
In fact the squad displayed more
real pep" than has been displayed
on the Yoakum athletic field in
many seasons. Coach Bivens began
to call in his regulars from the
scrub lineup and gave them what
will be their regular positions il they
are to make up the first squadron.
Big Carr, who has been cavort-
ing around with the scrubs, took his
place at tackle and hurled his 100
pound frame at imaginary enemies.
''Tilly" Ferguson, ex-high school
star. worked at half. King gener-
aled the team, one of the Overall
brothers worked in the other half
back position and Fuqua played full.
II is not settled fact that these
men will compose the back field OF
the first team for Bivens had others
just as good waiting to be tried out.
On the bench was Stuart Moore,
another high schooi star, just rear
ing to get in the game. but on ac-I
count of parental objections he has
not yet donned a suit. Carl Fergu-
son is expected to come down from
Dallas and wear Trinity uniform
for another season after being out
for couple of years.
Whatever new material that comes
in must come in during the next
three days for the OPEN season closes
on Saturday OF this week. To play
on the team this year students must
in Trinity not later than
Saturday
Friends of the team should attend
the game Friday and help win from
John Tarlton.

completely broken, and ironclad pro-
visions had been put into the consti-
tuition Of the state to prevent any
resumption OF the old domination.
At the end Of the term Mr.. Johnson
came before the people as a candi-
date. for reelection. basing his as
piration on the fact that he had full
filled the pledges he had given. He
was again chosen, being the first
governor to be his own successor in
Office.
When he announced himself as a
candidate for United States senator
he flew in the face OF q precedent
that had almost the force Of law,
that the two senators should not
come from the same part OF the state.
The rule had been to have one SEN
ator from the north and the other
from the south. This was one OF the
arguments used against him at the
primary. but it failed in his case.
Although a progressive, he won at
the republican primary against a
regular and popular republican OPP
ponent from the southern part OF the
state. His election at the polls was
assured because the people of his
state had reason to trust him.

Edison Time Card.

hir. Edison, the inventor of the In
candescent electric lamp, has defined
genius as 2 per cent inspiration and
SO per cent perspiration. In his own
working rooms in New Jersey, Mr..
Edison punches q time card each day
when he comes and goes, Just as any
other employee, and his time card is
the best evidence Of his belief in his
definition.
A. study Of one Of Mr.. Edison's time
cards is interesting. Thus. his time
card of the week ending August 9th,
shows that on Wednesday Mr.. Edison
did not come in at all in the morning,
for he was already in. having worked
all night. He left at s:16 in the morn
ing and returned six hours later
punching in" at 1920. Again he work
ed all night, leaving the following
morning at S:11 after an 1S-hour
stretch of work. Thus he labored
night after night and at the end Of the
week the punching shows total OF
95 hours and 40 minutes to his credit.
This time card was selected at ran
dom and does not differ much from the
time card found in the rack under Mr..
Edison's name t the end OF almost
any week.

River.euIIt ocean craft.

Kansas City Times: There are yet
some people, uniformed, of course,
who believe it is folly to think of navi-
eating the Mississippi river and it's
tributaries with anything larger than
scow or shallow craft. For the ben
Ieht of those persons the Cincinnati
Enquirer printed recently an article
about the Ohio river and loaded car
goes there for ports across the sea,
and sailed down the Ohio and Missis-
s1pp1 and thence out upon the Gulf of
Mexico and the broad Atlantic.
They were not small craft, either,
but chooners. briggs, barks, barken-
tines and full rugged ships with square
yards. big and seaworthy enough to
voyage to any port in the world.
One of the first of these ocean-going
vessels to be built upon the Ohio was
the 100-ton brig st. Clair launched
at Marietta in 1901 and loaded at Gin
cinnati for Havana. Many sailing
ships were built along that river In the
next ten years. and they were staunch
vessels, too, of white oak and black
walnut. with masts of yellow pine.
In the '40's the shipbuilding business
along the Ohio revived and as late as
1850 the brig Louisa of 200 tons, the
bark John Swasey Of 300 tons and the
bark Salem of $50 tons, were launched
at Cincinnati and everything in and
aboard these vessels was supplied at
that island city. From keel to truck,
from royal mast down to spanker boom
every bit Of standing and running rig
ging, sails and blocks was made in
Cincinnati
The largest and finest of the scores
of sailing ships launched along the
Ohio was the full-rigged Minnesota,
$50 tons. She was to carry cotton to
Europe and was in that trade for many
years.
The advent Of steam-driven vessels
put an end to this ship building busi-
ness. Now there has begun.a new era
of boat building and navigation on
these rivers, that Of the long, wide.
and shallow steel barge that carries
almost as much cargo as big ship
and that is towed in fleets. These
barges are again to revive navigation
on all these rivers and are destined
to revolutionize present methods OF
transportating slow freight in these
valleys.

Core Of the Earth.

st. Louis Post-Dispatch: The theory
that the crust OF the earth is only a
few miles IN thickness and rests upon
an intensely heated molten interior
is no longer tenable 1t Is now known
that the earth. as whole, possesses
a high degree of effective rightly. as
great as if it were composed through

the interior of the earth is in an in

johnson, Of California.

New York Times: A little over
six years ago short, pudgy man,
clean shaven, came forward in Cali
fornia as candidate for governor.
Although the son OF a man who, as a
member Of congress and in other
capacities, had been and still was
the spokesman of Southern Pacific
railway interests, the newcomer gave
vigorous utterance to views against
that corporations domination. Peo-
pie were loath to believe that the son
of Grove l.. Johnson could be serious
in his opposition. The late Robert J.
Burdette, preacher and former par
agrapher, expressed a quite general
opinion when he quoted against the
candidate the Biblical query: Can
any good come out of NAZARETH"
But Hiram W. Johnson carried on
a campaign in his own way; regard
less Of sneers, and made platform
for himself in the talks that he gave.
He traversed the state In an automo-
bile driven by his son and spoke at
crossroads and at any other places
where he could find listeners. AL
though having a notable command OF
language and being especially effec-
tive in caustic invective, he was no
orator in the usual acceptation OF the
term. His appearance was not strik-
ing, and his gestures were mostly
confined to movement of the fore
arm like those OF carpenter WELD
ing a hammer. But there was no
mistaking the earnestness OF the man,
and his sincerity was obvious. Where
ever he went he carried conviction
with him.
He promised, il elected, that he
would drive the Southern Pacific out
Of the domination OF the state. which
had become absolute through many
years Of mfsrule under both republi-
can and democratic administrations.
Judges favoring that company had sat
on the bench and had given decis-
ions that had nnllified the provisions
of a constitution adopted at the time
of a popular uprising against the rail-
road and other corporate tyranny.
Prosecuting officers in many coun-
ties were merely tools Of the railway
monopoly, and officers were its will
ing agents. In the days when the
great San Joaquin valley was wheat
growing region the prices the farm
ers got for their yield were fixed by
the Southern Pacific Every revolt
against the power of the machine had
been a failure up to the time when
Hiram w. Johnson interjected his
personality into the fight.
BY dint Of persistent hammering
Mr.. johnson won votes and became
governor. Then, to the amazement
of those who did not know the man,
he went on to do as he had promised.
Before his term Of four years had
ended the power Of the machine was

PROVIDE THE MEN, NOW.

Officers of the national guard at the border
have resigned by hundreds and their places
will not be easily filed; recruiting to the guard
is at standstillt. Our newest battleship is COM
missioned viii crew some two hundred less in
number than its full complement Of officers and
men, and to get even the crew assigned to the
Arizona four other battleships had to be de-
nuded of men. Where are the men to come
from to carry into practical effect our plans Of
military and naval preparedness? What is be-
ing done to get them? If we are to continue to
depend on Secretaries Baker and Daniels for
progress towardan adequate army and navy, it
behooves the nation to demand immediate and
conclusive evidence that these lately reformed
pacifsts attending to the business Of pro-
viding men for service. This will not be easy
and it may require added Legislation to make it
possible, but the first essential is that every eff
fort to recruit men to the army and navy under
existing conditions be made
