The teachings of Jesus were
vivid and graphic. The Master
deliberately chose to speak to
His audiences in a manner that
would compel attention.
He realized that many Of His
hearers 7ere not learned or cul-
tured. They were simple folk,
with only an elementary train
ing in the inadequate schools
Of the day.
In the literature Of every ma
tion fiction precedes history or
abstract scientific disc ssion.
The story has about it an ele-
mental, compelling appeal.
Jesus illustrated great spirit
ual truths with His masterful
parallels. Perhaps the greatest
of these is that of the Pro6igal
Son. Other great and immortal
parallels are those Of the Lost
Sheep and the Good Samaritan.
All the stories told by the
Master were remarkable for
clarity, vividness, beauty and
literary merit. One Of the most
effective was the parable Of
the Sewer. It's beginning is in
terest compe lling-"Beh
there went out a sower to SOW. "
To the people that listened
to Him, the narrative that fol-
lowed these words would be OF
special interest. They were IA
miIiar with the laws of seed
time and harvest. The work of
the sower was q part of their
daily lives. The description of
the different seeds encountering
different depths of ground and
various conditions Of soil was
rich in spiritual value.
The parable Of the Growing
Seed rivaled that Of the Sewer

IN the midst of the strenu-
Il Gus gayeties of the pre-
Lenten season, one begins to
look forward longingly to
the promised 40 days of
prayer and fasting, with its
opportunities for rest and re-
Election.
To be sure, it is possible to
be as gay as ever during
Lent, but it isn't necessary.
The number of formal events,
which those who would hold
their place in society must
attend, is cut down very
considerably and by being
selective among lesser festiv-
tiles it is possible to achieve
some leisure.
So
MUSIC, lectures and similar
4sA diversions are regarded as
eminently suitable diversions
for the penitential period, even
by those who take their Lenten
duties most seriously. And it
is q time when fashion and
charity become espec lily
chumfny.

WITH THE BOWLERS

Disappointed by the small number Of
entries in Women's Doubles League
| which opened at the Arcadia Saturday
night officials are inclined to believe
that the fair bowlerS are already over
burdened financially. 1t is probable
only six teams will comprise the league.
Billie Williams, president of the
embryo circuit, is hopeful, however,
of lining up several additional teams
during the week.
Most of the woman bowlers are at
present affiliated with two or more
leagues. Bowling two or three nights
is lust about as much as the fair
bowlers can stand both financially and
physically. 1t was first thought that
at least score of doubles teams would
enter the league.
Entries will be received this week at
the Arcadia. Officials hope to secure
at least 10 or IL teams before the Sec
ond matches are rolled.
High scoring teams are not always
the most consistent winners. Navy
team demonstrates this in Ladies Fed
eral League. Although the Navy girls
do not hold league team record, they
are setting the pace for the remaining
| teams.
Jack Whalen and Hap Burtner also
demonstrate this fact in District
Doubles League. While Harrison and
Rosenberg and the Wolstenholme
brothers have been getting the big
counts, Jack and Hap have been getting
their pins where they count most,
losing but games in IL starts.
| Make Rosenberg holds the highest
average of any bowler in the District.
In five District Doubles League matches
to date, he has amassed a 1851 aver
age with his team mate, Paul Harrison,
as his nearest rival. with 1872.
Rosenberg and Harrison hold the
high team set record, TIA, and Rosen-
berg's 379 set tops the individual eff
forts and his SO spares lead in that
department.

this Saturday to play VI r. I. armed

him from Washington and Jefferson?
Neal has used this formation on
several occasions when the going has
been rough. Undoubtedly Coach
GustafSOn, the former Pitt star, will
make it like that for Meals charges.
If so, you can count on Virginia un-
cOrking an open attack, and it's a
pretty certain bet the three men
out formation will be used.
If so, watch Virginia's right end.
In this open method of attack a
splendid series Of plays are worked
around this player, who is No. / in
the accompanying diagram. At the
start of these plays No. 1 is not
eligible for a forward pass, but by
quickly shifting No. 2 back Of the
lire more than yard and No. into
the line between No. 8 and the CEN
ter, No. l becomes eligible to catch
a pass, as that puts him on the end
Of the line.
A favOrite play then is to have the
center pass the ball to N. 8, 10
yards back of the line and have
No. give ground to the right rear
as all three of the three e-men- out
group beat 1t straight down the
field to draw their opponents out Of
the play. No. 6 also cuts down and
turns sharply to the right. This
clears the territory to the left. No.

ball, swings back of his line and

That Hagen-FarrelI match for the
world championship has proven an
other bloomer. Neither of the profess
sionals profited to any extent from the
exhibitions they gave in their five-game
match for the mythical world title, and
the general opinion now is that both
have lost considerably in prestige from
the affair.
Hagen won the first two matches quite
easily, and when Farrell annexed the
next two there came statements that
Hagen was carrying" Farrell in order
to stretch the matches out to a full
five game series. AS it stands, Hagen
won the fifth of the series in the final
match at st. Louis few days ago, but
it didn't help either his prestige or that
of Farrell. On the whole the thing
seems to have turned out to be "dud
even though Hagen holds the British
open and Farrell is the American open
champion.
But the boys go about the country
picking up easy money, and as long as
the public will stand it they'll con-
tinue to do so. The latest racket in
which the two champions are engaged
is the movies. In their tour of the
Pacific Coast, they are to stop off in
Los Angeles long enough to make q
movie starring them both.
Hagen's movie venture of last yeal
has done fairly we'll, although the pro-
ducer hasn't made millions on it.

(P).-For the first time in the history of
Yale foot ball team will travel to the
South, with Georgia being given the
second date on the 1929 schedule, in

1t has been the policy of Yale to play
seven home games end one game away
with Princeton and Harvard alternately.
The last occasion of Yale foot ball
team played game other than with
Princeton or Harvard away from New
Haven was in 1925, when Browns Sta
dium was dedicated in Providence.

the gridiorn annually since 1922, the
Southern eleven journeying to New
Haven each year for the game. Only
once has Georgia succeeded in defeat
ing the Ellis, that in 1927, when they
won by 14-to-10 score.
The stadium at Athens is being con-
completed will have a seating capacity
of 10000.
Only one new college was placed on
next years schedule. Vermont re-
placing Maine on the opening date, Oc-
tober S. It will be the fourth time Ver-
mont has come here, the last time
being in 1921.
