HOO The Morning Devotional Hour.
Subject, What Is A Christian" A
clear definition of a word is often
impossible. In the broad sense a
Christian might be said to be an in
dividual who holds to the Christian
faith. Then we might go little
| further and say a person born in a
christian land who does not embrace
any other faith But many will con-
tend that that is a broad definition.
Well then, how about this: A Christ
ian is a person who believes in and
, does the same things just as | do more
or less. When it is all summed does
not the matter resolve itself into an
answer like this? Well If you are not
satisfied with this definition, what is
Christian? Is it the observance of
certain forms and rites? The rigid
adherence to a prescribed group of
scruples, or is it more than that? If
were to answer the question in my
way | would say it was trying to know
how Christ would react to all situations
and then trying ones best to do the
same To so live that all your acts
will be of a character that will enable
you to look every man square in the
eye without drawing the curtains of
your soul.

its fruit. Such another meeting the

BIG TEN GRID LISTS
NOW BEING FRAMED

CHICAGO, December 4.-Foot ball
coaches and athletic directors OF the
Western Conference and other Mid
West schools were gathering here to-
day to arrange next years games.
Meetings will be held tomorrow and
Saturday, with the final sessions de-
voted to base ball, track and field,
hockey and wrestling slates.
The suddenly developed interest of
Western Conference schools in inter-
sectional struggles was expected to
cause some. discussion, since those
conference teams not meeting inter-
sectional opponents consider they
would be given secondary considera-
ton in schedule arrangements. The
conference rules require at least four
struggles with other members of the
association each year.
Illinois, Michigan and Chicago have
announced 1925 games with opponents
from other sections. Ohio, Wisconsin,
Northwestern and Minnesota were re-
ported considering Eastern games.
No legislation on the intersectional
question Is expected from the faculty
representatives, the general attitude
neing to give the idea a trial.
Coach Bob Zuppke of Illinois,
Director Fred Luehring of Mime

Negotiations between the University
of Maryland and Western Maryian d
for foot ball game next year are
hanging fire. pending developments is
at the annual meeting of the South
ern Conference at New Orleans on
Friday and Saturday.
Curly Byrd. director of athletics.
foot ball coach and assistant to the
president at the University of Mary
land. has left for New Orleans. While
there he will close with conference
rivals that will be met by Maryland
next Fall.
In the meantime, at the suggestion
of the Maryland leader, Western
Maryland is holding October 10 and
81 open for a possible game with the
College Parkers.
Agreement on eligibility of players
and other details already has been
reached by representatives of the two
institutions, II was said. Western
Maryland has outlined a set OF strin-
gent eligibility regulations which
will go into effect next Fall, and ii
is declared that the program met with
the approval OF Byrd and was such
as TO set at rest any fears of a con-
f1ict with Southern Conference pro-
cedure.
With the organization about six
months ago of an alumni athletic
committee. OF which Robert J. Gill,
local attorney, is chairman, Western
Maryland has been planning big
things for the future. The commit
tee is starting right from the bottom,
il has declared. Big league" meth
DDS are the goal and the highest
plane will be the basis for all COM
petitive athletics.
The transfer rule was the first
to come in for attention. This al

into effect next Fall. Other usual
eligibility regulations have been
drawn up and formally adopted. But
the biggest objective, a freshman
rule, will be held over another year
and will be active, IL is said, In 1926.
Pending the return OF Byrd early
next week, Western Maryland is pro-
ceeding with other negotiations for
games next year. Two contests OF
local interest already have been
scheduled, but Western Maryland au-
thorities are waiting for the other
institutions concerned to make the
announcement. One of the two in
