Nonpareil Hall in the final game of the
season for both teams by n 27-20 score.
The wonderful all-around playing of the
veteran Harry Hough, who accounted for
l6 of his teams 20 points, was not suffi-
cient TO down the Jewel five. Jasper
finished in fifth place, one notch above
Trenton.
The result was never in doubt. From
the start the Jewels got the jump on the
opposition and held the upper hand until
the finish. At the end of the first half
Jasper led by 10 to s, and retained this
seven-point margin during the second half.

PASSING OF THE FRONTIER.
Edward A. Ross Delivers First Of Serie.
of Six Lectures at Grinneil

OF DIX LECTURES AT STInnei.
Grinnell. Feb 9.-""The Disappear
ance of the Frontier and Its Conse-
quences," was the subject of an adj
dress by Edward A. Ross. foremost
American sociologist and professor Of
political economy at the University Of
Wisconsin, given in the college chapel
yesterday morning. This is the first
of series of six lectures which
Professor Ross will deliver here this

The general theme of the series is
'Undercurrents in American Society.
Professor Ross said In his address.
that the United States Is becoming one
of those nations that feels II must have
great foreign markets. and Is willin,,
to fight for them. He said that we
have just passed one Of the greatest
turning points in our history, the dis
appearance of the frontier, and spoke
further of the effect this is already
having upon prices, the general social
attitude Of our people. and our whole
national life. He spoke also of the
Importance Of this charge in our COM
mercial relations. The speaker SAID
that our strenuous efforts toward
effusive Pan-Americanism have their
roots in our desire to sell goods.
Professor Ross is radical in many
ways and has at many times aroused
great opposition by the things he has
said. He was formerly a member Of
the faculty at Leland Stanford Uni.
versity but resigned because Of opposi-
ton to his views at that university.
Later he was for some time at the
University Of Nebraska, during which
period he was well known as a lee
turer turnout Iowa. He has. been at
Wisconsin since 1905 and has become
known among sociologists as a fear
less thinker and speaker.
