No Scr1mm1Eo let
It 10 more parlor stuff than IL
will be later on. you bet, for the
painters haven't had . scrimmage
yet. They have been busily en-
gagged In loosening up their
muscles and grabbing off
series of earfuls. They have
tossed the ball around q bit. to
be sure, and there has been con-
siderable punting and warming
up and the like, but learned
from the coaches that the first
scrimmage was several days in
the future yet.
This rather surprised me, for
remembered that Howard had her
first scrimmage Saturday. How
ever, IL was easy to understand
that Brown and Gillem could at
ford to tage things q bit easier.
as Howard has q game the COM
ing Saturday and the Panther
initial struggle 10 two weeks
away.
It is we'll that the Panther sea-
son begins later. for with over
half a hundred athletes to sort
out and dish out place cards to.
the coaches haven't even SO much
as learned some of the fellows
names yet Hey, you. come in
there a little. You-you. what's
your manner" This was heard on
more than one occasion. It's not
surprising. Take half hundred
fellows, the greater part OF whom
were strangers at the opening of
school, and 1t takes a coach a
week or so to learn just who's
who.
Much Beef in Line
OF course it's early yet-mighty
early, and 1t would be foolish to
get down to individualities at this
stage of the game. This is the
experimental stage. The coach
may have fellow in one position
today. tomorrow he may be with
the most inactive OF the scrubs.
But from what I could gather.
the Panther line bids fair to carry
considerable heft this year.
The talent seems to be there
numerically as well as In pound
age, too. for Coach Charlie had
three squads of linemen limbering
UP at different parts OF the field,
and still had big bunch of nom
descripts in the center of the
field, just itching to get some in
struction and some work.
Mighty doggone soon to make
predictions. but I would venture
to say that the Panther line will
have all the heft required by the
time Coach Charlie has weeded
cut the, impossibles and decided
on just who's who and which is
which.
GilIem Not So Happy
Coach jerks Gillem, who was
putting the backfield men
through the PAGES, did not carry
. large smile OF satisfaction. 1t
Is known that jerks sighed for
more weight last year. 1t is
said that he's sstll signing. The
new men who have Joined the
forces. that IL those with the
poundage. have proven to be line
men In the main. This puts
jerks up against the same old
problem.

the fellows Monday, and the more

Meaning of Clergy.

The word clergy, like the word
clerk. which is the Latin clericus in
Anglicized form. does not refer ex-

all who have any pretension toward
learning.
William Rufus, the second Of the
Norman kings of England, enacted an
ordinance in 1887 known by the title
Benefit of Clergy" In accordance
with which an accused man could save
his life on proving that he was not

HAVE HIGH REGARD FOR LIFE
to Destroy Even the Most An

Mr.. c. e. Tyndale Bfscoe. In his
hook, 'Kashmir in Sunlight and
Shade" gives the following entertain
ing account Of the Brahmans' peculiar
tiles: Its very difficult to understand
the Brahmans' ethics. Often in the
summer time, when one is teaching a
class, 1t happens that a mosquito or a
fly settles on ones hand. BY force Of
habit I end his life with a slap. At
this the Brahmans jump and cry out,
oh, oh you have taken a life! You
have taken a lifer and suck their fin
gers hard and crack their knuckles,
which is a sign of distress and horror
of showing horror at the death of a
fly or mosquito, for they hate the re-
tort. Don't you eat muttonT They

then quickly put it in a place of safe

him. for If he had put it on the floor
ii might have been trOdden upon. or
perhaps have returned to his own per-
son. This belief of theirs in the
preservation of pests is very unfOrtu-
nate 1t is the same with rats and
mice. which abound. The furthest they
will go in the matter is to catch them
in traps and then carry them to the
opposite SHE of the river and there re-
lease them. But as people on both
sides of the river play the same game,
the rats do not decrease greatly"
