BY SOL METZGER,


 Coach Washington and Jefferson Foot
 ball Team.
 Football has made more progress this fall than at any time in" many years. Although there are not quite as many college teams playing as in pre- vious years, more men are participat- ing in the game than ever before. This is due to the fact that football has met with approval in the various army and navy camps and that more attention is being given it by various undergradu- ate organizations in those universities V hich have abandoned varsity football during the period of the war.
 Another point which has helped foot +, the east, of Harvard, Princeton and Yale from the fall schedule. While this has unquestionably caused a lack of interest in the game in some of the largest eastern cities, it has forced all followers of the sport to look else where for their fun. They have been surprised in finding the game played at other institutions on as high a plane as it is customarily playeN by proven that no set of colleges enjoys a supremacy in football. The game is much the same and is played as well in one section as another. Coaches of western and southern teams have pretty well proven they know as much football as eastern coaches. Fact is, this year. they have gone little far democratic. It has broken down the fine or distinction, or caste, that had caused some to believe that the spCTt is highest developed in one section.
 We have learned much this season that We have Eever known before

THE TREND IN FOOTBALL
Football Has Made More Progress This Fall Than Any
 Other Time, Says Sol Metzger-Aboliton of Training
 Table Has No HI Effect the Sport-There Will be No ' An-American Team This Season.

Take the training table for example
 Two years ago an eastern coach would have held up his hands in horror had he been forced to train his men with when coaching the West Virginia team, I pQposed the abolition of the training table and was overruled. saw no reason for it and never cotld see the point that it brought the play CTS together and built up an esprit de corps otherwise impossible. The train ing table to my mind, made the play snlacked too much of professionalism.
 This year, due to the recommenda- ttons of the National Collegiate Attn Ietic association. w. & J. joined the large majority in abandoning the training table. All sorts of football suit. But we have so far. succeeded in weathering all storms and in our one big game to date-<with Penn State found ourselves, as a team, pretty welt able to go the limit on endurance.
 Doing away with the training table has had more far-reaching results than was supposed. It has put the to each individual and the players have been forced to solve this problem themselves. This has been valuable lesson to them. And 1t has very clear ;y drawn the line between the players who had their heart and soul in the work of making the team success and those who viewed the season in another light. After two months it is not difficult for the coach to separate the conscientious candidates from those not caring about anything but their own success in making the team. It has not been a pleasant method of training for the boy who wanted to

NORWICH TOWN
Rev. Arthur Variey and Members of Taftville Congregational Choir Bring Cheer te Shetering Arns-Guests
 Enjoy Prospect From Bellevue Farm

Rev. Arthur Varley and members of the choir of Taftville Congregational church were at the Sheltering Arms for the Sunday afternoon service. A most helpful address was given from the text, Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that pro ceedetk out of the mouth of the Fath- CT. These words were spoken by Christ, Rev. MT. Varley said, in an swer to the temptation to turn stones into bread. By His answer Christ in timated the powers of soul that could not be used for ones own glory or profit. There are certain faculties that 1t is sin to commercialize; still all through the years we have been trying to live by bread alone, in com nnercial, in social, in educational ways. It is hard work to get anyone to do anything unless there Is a dollar at the end of it. We are actually gull ty of sin in these things We are tempted by the nearness of the reality. Who does not wish that he had more money, better house, more to do with? Then we begin to be envious of others. About all our interests to- day are expressed in terms of bread war ir. Europe, until We feel that bread and money are all there is. Here again is the pressure of the material.
 We should turn to the higher. finer these terms. The invisible wealth of the world is infinitely beyond it's wis fble wealth. But the higher things are not determined by "pull'' position. If we are content to live by bread alone we shall be stranded on the shores of eternity, starved and stunted souls. But in good measure we may have the best, not according to place, color or position.
 What are these things? One is the Fellowship with great minds past and present, which we get from choice books. These are free as air. Anoth-- CT is the sweetness of real friendship that lasts, that doesn't shift. that hopeth, endureth all things, that nsSer failetl1 because it is born of the spir- itua1. The richness of genuine love- that love that sets us in families, that binds us in constant interests, that love that knits souls together for all time; we can all enjoy this it is spir- itual. Then there is the conscious ness of Gods presence. There isn't moment of the day when we may not feel this. Realizing these higher, finer things. we truly begin to live.
 Miss Nellie Howie was at the pia- no. Familiar hymns were sung, closing with. O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go. Miss Jennie Kendall gave most sympathetically the solo, There's Beautiful Land on High, and Miss Hazel Banf1eld a pleasing rendering of the solo. In the Land of Fadeless Day. The duet.
