Following q sermon by DIR. Robert
Ragnell in Grace Methodist Church,
on "Armageddon and the Beast"
yesterday, the congregation adopt
ed resolutions pledging themselves
not to vote for any candidate for the
Legislature of Pennsylvania. who
would not support a prohibition

signed the resolutions are: e. n.
Wallower, H. B. Mitchell, w. P.

con, John P. Melick, j. H. Patton.
DR.. Bagnell told how the promi-
nent industries of the nations have
classed any user of liquor, as ineffi-

the liquor traffic as one of the great
est mistakes of all ages. "It must
not be said that the ennsylvania OF
Independence Hall, Valley Forge and
Gettysburg, cannot free herself from
the beast" he declared.
1t is believed that this resolu-

Princeton Easy Winner
Over Yale Cage Team;
Team Work Counts

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 2S.-The
Yale quintet fell prey to Princeton's
strong five here Saturday by the one
sided score of 1922. The Orange
ard Black displayed a remarkably
powerful attack. and put the defense
of the Blue to route. Trimble and
Howe, the visitors star forwards,
were everywhere and their field
shooting was the best that has been
seen on the home floor this season
At the end of the first period only
three points. separated the rival
1ives, and it looked as though the
contest might be closely fought
throughout.
In the second half, however, the
superior team play of the Prince
tons could not be coped with oy
the individual play of the men in
Blue and the score quickly rose in
favor of the visitors. Vanslyck and
Shedd teamed up well at the two
forward positions for Yale, but any
spurt on the part of either was OF
short duration, due to the rugged
defense work of the Orange and
laGcS guards, Taylor and Gray.
IaAlOES WOfk was eSpeC1dliy no-
ticeable and time and again he
brought the ball from in under his
own basket into Yale territory from
where finding his forwards covered
he tossed the basket himself. His
entire Princeton aggregation is de-
serving Of praise and conclusively
