years of wonderful and competent
football Huett, the other member OF

teamwork and the ability to run in

Jackson is fighter. No College OF

just seemed to be the act of God
and that the time of the victims
had come at the instance Of a
Higher Being.
This catassrophy recalls the
burning Of the Ford theatre in
Richmond many years ago III
which the lives Of hundreds were
lost, and of the sinking Of the
IItantIc III more recent years. IL
both Of these latter disasters
many acts Of herolsm were re-
ported, and no doubt when the
full story Of the knick erbocker
theatre horror is written there
will be recounted supreme sacri-
fices made for the lives Of others
as was made by Major Butts,
John Jacob Aston and others IN
the Titanic disaster. Such SUI
preme calls seems to bring out
the best that is in human beings
and creates heroes for all time.
Those brave men who, when that
great ship was sinking, at the
point Of pistols held back others
who were weaker and insisted
that women and children should |
