coaches would occupy entirely too much
space. ] am going to tell how TO play
the game from my own experience snd
observations
A tcod end candidate should b a
tall. rangy lad. fast on his foot anu
shifty. A combination Of weight. speed
and the ability to handle forward passes
and tackle we'll are important qua!ifi-
cations. OF course. all Of these charNc-
teristics are not absolutely necessary.
Many OF the best ends in recent years
have been small mon OF l!ttls better
than the average weight. A light man
usually turns 10 erd or quarterback
when he tries to make football team.
The position o. end differs on oifense
and defense. The foot that IS farthesr
away from center should he forward
and on the line of scrimmage. II is the
duty az tho ends to sec that the limo
men are Up as far as possible 10 the

COL. INGERSULL
ON SUFFRAGE

1t may seem strange to some that
Christian women should give SPACE to
the utterances of the famous (or infas-
mous?) infidel, Ingersoil.
We think, however, that Ignorance
in nothing is commendabie and that
Americans should not close their
minds to the glowing brilliancy and
ardent patriotism of the man lngef-
soil on account of an ansound spot III
an otherwise perfect intellect.
Henry Ward Beecher, the mated and
well,beloved minister of the Gospel,
on one occasion introduced Robert
Ingersoll to an audience of six thou
sand people with these words: Il now
introduce to you a man wfno-am |
say it not flatteringly-is the most
brilliant speaker of the. English
tongue of all men on this globe
Superlative praise thatt !.
And despite Ingersolps own testl-
mony, can we be sure that there was
no Christianity in the soul of the man
who said, "Real religion mean the Civ
ing to others every right you claim
for yourself; reaE religion consists II
duties of man to- man, in feeding the
hungry, in clothing the naked, In de.
Tending the innocent and In saying
what YOU believe to be true"
