the rooters came with hopes Of see-

one chance to do business, how
ever. That was in the second per-
iod when the Cardinals passed and
drove to the Staleys' seven-yard
mark. only to lose the ball when
Sachs failed to connect with pass
behind the Staley goal. At other
times the Cardinals we're outplayed.
The Staleys scored their only
touchdown early in the-second per-

ripped through center for the

made by Sternaman, and four were
missed. even though he went to the
trouble to encase his foot in dry

the star of the conference. The
west has never produced a more
powerful fullback.
Aubrey Devine Of Iowa. as quar-
ter clearly leads in this position.
He outranked all contenders in
speed. brainsr generalship, open

Workman of Ohio and Bob Fletcher
of Illinois. both did well, but Deyi;ie
surpassed them.
Elliot OF Wisconsin is really a
great halfback, one of the sturdiest
in the Big Ten. His work was not
fiashy, excepting in picking out for
ward passes, but he seldom failed
to do what lie was he was called
on to do. i
Placement Kicker.
Ralph Fletcher of Illinois is given
a place alongside Elliot and Crangle
although he is not a star in advane-
ing the ball. Fletcher is invaluable
to a team as a placement kicker,
and has been one of the mainstays
Of his team in this respect, and we
think more valuable on this ac-
count than either Walquist of Illf-

DISCOVERY OF HOLY CROSS
Was Responsible for Its Recov-
cry From the Jews.

Through the zeal of the Empress
Helena. mother of Constantine the
Great. was discovered the cross on
which the Savior was crucified. and
the date is given as May g. The
story usually told is to the effect that
the empress went to Jerusalem and
there compelled the Jews to bring the
cross from its concealment and give II
to her, together with other crosses In
their possession. Its identity was es-
tablished by miracle: The body of a
dead man was placed on each Of the
crosses, and when 1t touched the true
one the dead man Immediately came
to life. Many pilgrims travelling to
Jerusalem received pieces of the true
cross. and the question was raised as
sands with those fragments without
entirely carrying away the cross. 1t
was therefore said that the true cross
had the power of reproducing itself.
On The capture of Jerusalem In GA.
the cross we are told. was carried into
Persia, where II remained until re-
stored by Hcraclius. which event Is
commemorated In September and is
usually called Hoyrood day. The four
nails were distributed so that two

one brought to France, and another
thrown into the Adriatic to quiet its
