Colby President
Gives Fine Talk
To Mems Division

President Arthur J. Roberts gave
an interesting talk to the members of
the Mems division of Colby college
Yesterday morning during the chapel
period. The talk was based upon
Matthew 7:24. the building of a
house on the rock and another on
the sand.
The Colby president said in the
course of his short talk that many
men live by their wits and apparent
ly gain success by cleverness and
trickery. sharp dealings and the like
but that such men are building their
house Of success on the sand and the
fall Of it will be great He declared
that the rock foundation of success
Is character and that a house built
on this foundation would never fail
In spite of all of the storms and fur
riers released at it.
The speaker said that success in
life to many meant money and repu-
tation gained, maybe at the expense
of others. Real success he declared
depended upon character, but more
than that. Christian character He
said that a man might be absolutely
truthful. perfectly honest and sin
cere in his business dealings but yet
not have the real Christian character.
Christian character is built on bro
therhood and the accomplishment Of
things for the common good and not
looking out for number one all the
time.
In closing. President Roberts said
that the main purpose Of colleges is
to send out men of Christian charac-
ter to make the world a little better
place in which to live

Waterville. Sept 25-Coach Ray
Haines' gridmen scrimmaged for an
hour and half yesterday afternoon
and when the Crimson and Gold
mentor brought the tussle to a close
it was a tired and sore lot that
struggled to the showers. But the
team is rapidly rounding into shape
and could play a game Saturday if
there was one scheduled.
The tackling and interfering,
though lacking fineness. is as good as
will be seen in many late season
games. The backfield men are be-
ginning to let out and are showing
speed that is going to be a big fac
tor in the State championship games.
The linemen have not found them
selves as yet but in another week
after playing together they should
be hitting on high.
Adams and Coffin are going to be
tough pair of tackles to box and they
both can bring down the carriers in
anything but a ladylike manner. In
the scrimmage yesterday. Jack Burn
ham, who has heretofore been a CEN
ter. was tried on an end position and
he stopped play after play by his
vicious tacfling. DrueU was tried
out at the center berth and he seemed
right at home there. He will be out
of the game for a few days at least,
however. as he sustained a bad in
jury to his ankle that will need con-
siderable favoring.
Team A lined up as follows: Ends,
Reed and Dionne; tackles, Adams
and Coffin: guards. Mercier and

back. Grady: halfbacks, Weston and

There will be practice this after
noon at $50 and Saturday the men
will be given a light workout.
