WHOLE ENERGY IN SERVICE
Last nights meeting was one of
[the most dramatic OF the campaign
and the evangelist threw his heart
and soul into his sermon and at the
end was as limp as rag. The ter
|Yible mental and physical strain that
sunday has been under for the past
lneven weeks was apparent last night
and showed itself several times dur
ing the sermon.
billy was nervous and the least
noise disturbed him and he stopped
n his discourse twice Once the
coughing caused him to cease speak
0ng and Sunday asked his audience
d aid him In every way possible. that
he could not make himself heard
|above the coughing. Again when

Lothrop Wilmington, captain of the
10 varsity. was out coaching the mid
die linemen for the first time this year,
and with Coach Fisher. Snow, Par
menter and Wilmington behind them
the men made much better showing
generally than they did Wednesday,
Hadley again looked good, while
Ralph Horween in the back field
showed that he is again going to be
power i'll the Crimson attack.
There was no scoring, the closest
approach being n 35-yard drop kick
by Horween, which just missed the
quarterback, did some brilliant open
field work, and Weatherhead, of the
new crop of end rushers, did we'll on
the wing opposite that occupied by
the veteran Phinney.
Coach Fisher has decided not to
scrimmage the varsity against the
second team until the first of the
