GREAT PLAY STICKS
IN STAGES MEMORY

A. A. Stagg. as foot ball coach at
the University of Chicago, developed
many great quarterbacks. but prob
ably none that ranked with the great
Walter Eckersall.
Stagg tells of one play by Eckersall
that illustrates the remarkable genius
of the player in doing the unexpected.
II was in the famous Michigan-Chi-
cago game of 1905.
Michigan had not lost A game in five
years when it came to Chicago to
vanquish the Maroon. 1t had heavy
team. and had the intercollegiate high
hurdle champion, Johnny Garrels. a
wonderful halfback who was how
ever, only a pace or two ahead of
other stars of the team.
Chicago was not expected to win the
game. but Eckersalrs uncanny kick
ing checkmated the Yost crew. On
the other hand. the Michigan men
bore down heavily on the Maroon
star. apparently stopping his elusive
end runs.
Late in the game. however, Eckers-
all proved that his genius was su
preme. On third down, with .
yards to go (old rules), he dropped
back yards behind his own goal
line as though to punt. and then.
when Michigan set itself to block a
kick. himself ran the ball out for
2Syard gain. To do this he side
stepped Michigan's right end, stiff
armed charging halfback. and then
made his outward bound trip from
under his own goal posts.
On the third play ECkersan de-
livered a 65-yard punt. A Michigan
back caught the ball on his own 2
yard line. Before he could take
forward step Catlin, the Chicago right
end who had been playing a wonder
full game all day and who had run
down the field with the punt, hit him
so hard that he was knocked clear
back across the line for a touchback.
The two points gained by this play
provided the margin by which Chi
cago won the game. The victory gave
il the Western Championship.

reaction in Berlin against the style
Of city architecture which was pop

Hohenzollern, and which he was not

former ruler is declared today to
have been distinctly bad, and now
the municipality will have no more
of it.
In Potsdam the reaction shows
particularly. Here are the palaces
of the former royal family, and
many of them are being restored to
the condition they were in prior to
the ascent to the throne of William
II. The same policy is to be follow
ed out in Berlin, with its many cas-

Tomorrow we celebrate the dis

Columbus, for on October ~, 1892.
the intrepid Italian n igator land
ed on the shores of what is now
the greatest republic in the history
of mankind.
The life of Christopher Columbus
is a story of faith.
1t is a beautiful story, as his. !;
srecites, because it is filled with trust
of men and brave confdenc. in
self.
Perhaps faith came easily TO c.
lumbus because he was deeply re-
Egious by nature.
But it was gift that served him
in good stead.
1t handed down his name to
posterity as discoyerer Of the New
World.
Lasting Faith
Faith at the outset enabled HIM
to brave the wise men of his time
and tell them that the world was
round when they believed it fiat.
Faith it was that gi~ded him with
fortitude when twice on the outward
voyage a mutinous and terrified
crew made ready to cast him over
board.
Ind had not been sighted and The
sailors grew afraid.
They had been taught that on the
edge Of the horizon was a precipice
and that any ship venturing near
the edge would plunge off into
limitless space.
Stilled Fears
Through his faith, Columbus still
ed their fears. He changed his
course to soothe them and on tie

of San Salvador hove in view.
Columbus was born poor boy in
the city of Genoa, Italy, some time
between Aug, 26, 1851, and Oct.
81 of the same year. Confused ac-
counts have made the exact date I'M
certain.
His fathers name was Domenico
Colombo, who was a weaver by
trade. And the maiden name of
his mother was Susanna Fontana-
rosa.
Up until 1472 Columbus followed
in the business of his forebear.
He had neither university instruc-
ton nor was he at any time navi-
gator during his youth.
Family of Artisans
All of the family were artisans,
Columbus came into the world win
nothing but strong, clean body,
honest parents and his faith.
He is last heard of as having
permanent residence in Italy on
Aug. T, 1473. Followed several
trips in merchantmen to England
and once almost to Iceland.
During 1477-7S he was engaged
in commerce in Lisbon and in 1879
married one Felipa MONTH Perest-
relic of the same city, who bore him
a son whom he called Diego.
All the while he was working on
his new theory of a round world
and lands undreamed of beyond the
setting sun.
Queen Gave Jewels
1t is a matter of history how
Queen Isabella gave him her jewels
with which he equipped his three
tiny vessels, the Nina, the Pinta and
the Santa Maria.
Setting sail from Palos, Aug. 8,
