NAVY SWAMPS PENN.
STATE AT LACROSSE

Navy defeated Penn State Saturday
afternoon in a lacrosse game on the
local court without exerting any spec
ial effort to bring in the final score Of
20 to ?. 1t was one-sided game from
the start, the defense of Penn being
TOO weak TO hold the charge of the Ad-
mirals. and its offense falling because
of poor passes.
Navy ran in its second team during
he last period. during which time the
cond-line men made nine tailies as
inst the first teams IL. The oppo-
ION offered TO the middies was too
" TO admit of any real star per-
|nances. but the midshipmen gave

The battle of Quebec was fought in
the daytime. At O'Clock the morn
ing of September 13. 1859, the British
troops under Gen. Wolfe began cross
ing the Montmorenci rived and land
ing at point now known as Wolffes
Cove. Wolfe. after suffering a repulse
more than month before. had deter
mined upon the desperate expedient
OF crossing the river and scaling the
heights above the town. The French
sentinels were surprised, and before
the day broke $500 men with two
guns had climbed the steep heights
and were drawn up on the Plains Of
Abraham. about a mile from Quebec.
About 10 o'clock they were attacked
by Montcalm. who had a force equal
to the British. but of inferior train
ing. The French lines were broken
by the British fire. Gen. Wolfe. as he
led the charge, was struck three
times. the last time in the breast He
was compelled to lie down, and while
the pursuit was still on he died.

America is studied in less serious
vein by Nina Wilcox Putnam, whose
novel purports to be the narrative OF
moving picture actress, Marie La

shocked by some radical talk which
she overhears In Greenwich Village
cafe. So she decides TO cross the coun-
try in an automobile, preaching the
gospel of true Anericanism.
She soon discovers that preaching
Americanism TO the dcnizens Of the
Gopher prairies scattered through
Iowa, Missouri and Kansas is like
carrying Goals to Newcastle. Every
where she finds peace, contentment and
prosperity. She becomes rhapsodic
over Kansas. "Oh. I love Kansas,
