one in which the State contends
that there is conflict between
religion and science, believe there
should be no part taken outside the

a prayer, which might tend to In

Kenzie said: THE court has q
right to open sessions here with a

The defense based their principal
hope for success on a contention
that the law violated the guaran-
tees Of religious freedom in the
State and Federal Constitutions.
Their other points, involving prop
erty rights, the protection of scien-
ttfic education, and an alleged tech
nical irregularity in the law were
minor issues compared to the great
question Of religious liberty, raised
by Clarence barrow In his impas-
stoned address to the court. OAR
row charged the law fostered
bigotry. ignited fires of intolerance,
and denied minorities the right to
worship God according to the die
tates OF their consciences.
Prosecuting counsel based their
hope for favorable decision on
the citation Of an early test case
IN WHICH the tennessee supreme
court upheld the right OF the gem
eral assembly to dictate curricu.
lums. in the public schools. In the
case cited a school teacher viola
ted a law requiring the use OF GER
tain prescribed text books and
raised a constitutional defense. The
State supreme court, however, held
that the legislature, because it
created the public schools, had Fan
absolute control over their courses
and curriculums.
With a decision favorable to the
State, both sides were ready to
proceed with the trial on its merits.
Scopes will be arraigned, plead not
guilty and his students win take
the stand to accuse him of teach
ing evolution in defense of the law.
Clash Due Soon.
Then will follow the postponed
clash over the admissibility Of tes-
timony by scientists, on whether
evolution really conflicts with the
Biblical story of the Divine crea-
ton OF man. In this contest, VIII
liam Jennings Bryan was expected
to take his first active part in the
trial.

theory contained in the Bible.
''Let us pass up the word divine.
No legislature is strong enough IN

they understand it better. when
they do not. But in general way

But what is it? The Bible is
not one book. The Bible is made up
of sixty-six books written over a
period Of about 1000 years. Some
of them very early and some Of
them comparatively late. 1t is a
book primarily of religion of morals.

Under it there is nothing pre-

Grange has found this season that
where A rival line declines to permit
him to get across the scrimmage zone
his effectiveness is lessened. PennSyl
Nania has a system of line play that
goes way back into the years; seldom
have the Quakers had a really poor
forward wall.
SO the thousands upon thousands
who go to Franklin Field to see
Grange do his stuff may well share
the disappointment of multitudes in
the West who have repaired to va
rious stadia where Illinois has played.
The QuakerS have had an arduouS
schedule. as said. but Illinois has not
escaped her due share of hard games.

or in the cap of Bob Zuppke, who is

Speaking OF flashing backs. letter
has come from q University of Wash
lngton source paying the highest sort
Of compliment TO Young Locke for his
play against the Huskies. Locke gain
ed more ground for Nebraska in her
game against Washington than any
other PLAYER of either eleven.
Over, under and around the Huskie
line went Locke for total of 70 yards.
which was a greater total than that
earned by Harry Wilson of Washing
ton, whom Nebra skans regard as one
of the greatest backs that ever romp-
ed over a Middle Western gridiron.
This boy Locke. by the way, is~
track star, and every time he plays
foot ball he brings agony to the soul
of Henry Schultz, the Cornhusker
track coach, who fears he may be ruin
ed for the cinder path. Twice last
Spring Locke tied the hundred-yard
dash world record in competition
Three watches caught him at 9.6 in
the hundred; two other matches regis
tered time one-tifth of a second faster
than the world record.

Against Sewanee. Hubert carried the
ball on four consecutive plays from
the 16-yard line to touchdown. His
defensive play leaves nothing TO be
desired and this year he is allowed
unusual latitude in playing his posi-
ton.
With a keen instinct for diagnosing
the opponents defense. he roams
about, apparently going dangerously
out of orthodox position sometimes.
He conceals his intentions we'll by
shifting at the right moment. allowing
the opposition quarterback no oppor-
tunity to take advantage of his
change of position. His all-around
work in the Georgia Tech game
stamped him as the South's best full
back in the last decade.
