IuD to YOU one common ideal.
 Suppose we look back thru the pages of history, and glance for a moment down the dimly lit corri- dors of time.
 What is it that we See?"
 Race succeeds race, empire and kingdom succeed empire and king dom like shadow pictures of mov- ing film; conquerors with their great armies fill for moment the spot Of light, and they pass away land they are followed by line after line of captives in chains, by wo- men sitting with bowed heads weeping by the blackened ashes and smouldering embers of their homes, crying-'Give me back my dead By the spectres of famine, IpestiIence and disease, all the hav- oc and all the horror that always has and forever will follow the panoply and pomp of war. The printed glory of kings and of en- Iperors brightens for a moment the passing show, and they too pass Iaway,-out of darkness into the light, cut of the light back into darkness again.
 "IS there then nothing in all this mutability of things that can stand secure? Is there no single true ideal that makes life worth living thru?
 "Yes, there is the spirit and the Iconception of Justice, and it lies with you that that shall be pre- served and shall remain, thru the civilizations as we know they shall crumble and disappear into dusG, and the great cities of the earth return once more to the waste places from whence they came, sprang.
 ITO the Romans, justice was goddess. and surely without treason she may remain goddess to Us still, the goddess whose symbols are known to all, a throne that tenn pests cannot shake, a pulse that passion cannot stir, eyes that are blind to a feeling of favor or ill- will, and the sword that falls on all offender with equal certainty and with impartial strength
 This then is the age of marvel ous progress. It is not necessary to enumerate the miracles of the sci nntific and mechanical world, you know what they are, and you know the end is not yet.
 You will have your share and part in them all You will soon adapt yourselves to the use of the Iinulnerable electrical contrivances which will So change your daily mode of life. Your day will possi bly determine the problem of the ages, and find that electricity is life itself
 But, in this age of scientific miracles do not overlook the part you have to take in the civic affailS Iof your nation, your Territory and your community. It is your nation, it is your Territory, it is your com munity What you give of your selves to the nation, to the Terri tory, to the community will be re- turned many fold
 we shall be proud of your achievements, proud of your repu- ItationS for integrity and probity, glory with you in your successes, iand sympathize with you in your reverseS.
 Regard your allegiance to your nation. for we seek no conquest of territory, ask no reward for inter lcession demand no monopolieS of concessions, we seek from mankind lonly liberty and faith. We are obligated to the liberty that has lifted the fallen, given freedom to the oppressed, enriched world pow erty, clothed the naked and fed the hungry.

play, an on many occasions permits
a weaker team to win. There has
been instance after instance in the
last few years where the stronger
team, after rushing its opponent all
over the field. has been deprived OF
a touchdown by a tumble inside OF
the ten-yard line; a tumble scooped
up by some alert defensive man who
ran 80 yards for a touchdown.
l believe the present rule means
that the better team will win in al
most every case This was not so un-
der the old rules.
While at first blush the public ap-
parently may have lost thrill, be-
lieve in reality that new offensive tao
tics which I am sure will follow will
more than repay them.
The try for point can now be made
from the two-yard line. This rule has
never quite worked out the way 1t
was intended. in that virtually every
team has used drop or place kick
and seldom tried to run or pass.
By decreasing the distance | hope
it will be possible to vary the attack
on this play, and if this is done a
spectacular play will result.

acy, a paddle-wheel gunboat of Civil
war days. He had purchased the col
lier and the supply ship in the Far
East and he made the Olympia his
flagship because she was the largest
of the little group of cruisers.
Believing that he would find the
Spanish fleet in Manila bay, Dewey
started for that place and arrived
there on the night of April 30. AS the
American fleet under the cover of
darkness swung into the channel lead
ing into the bay it was discovered by
the Spaniards, who sent up signal
rockets followed by fire from shore
battery to which the Raleigh, the Bos-
ton and the Concord replied. These
were the first shots fired in the his
toric battle and that night the Amer
lean fleet suffered its only casualty.
1t was not from the guns of the Span
iards, however. The chief engineer
of the McCulloch, revenue cutter at
tached to the American squadron, was
the victim and he died of heat pros
tratiOn.
Dawn found the American squadron
drawn up in close battle order six
miles from Manila. AS the light grew
stronger the Spanish fleet was dis
covered lying under the guns of the
forts at Cavite, ten miles southwest
of Manila. Although the Spanish
ships were inferior to the American,
the former lying under the protection
of the shore batteries and knowing the
gun ranges Of the bay more than
equalized their disadvantage. AS the
squadron passed ON its way to Cavite,
shots were exchanged with the shore
batteries and two mines were explod-
ed near the Olympia.
AS the American ships bore down
upon the Spanish, the battle flag was
run up to the mizzenmast of the
Olympia and the enemy showed his
colors on ship and fort. AT Sal
o'clock the Olympia opened the battle
proper at $500 yards with her star
board eight-inch gun. Even at this
early hour in the morning, the heat
was intense and Dewey's men, stripped
to the waist, were bathed in perspira-
ton as they served the roaring guns.
The Boston and the Baltimore like
wise opened fire, selecting the Castil-
la and the Reina Cristina for their
mark. But as the battleships still
steered for the Spanish line, the Olym-
pia in the forefront received the most
of the fire from the Spanish.
At distance of 1000 yards Dewey
changed his course and ran parallel
to the line made by the Spanish YES

By w. w. ROPER. Princeton Football Coach,
in the Chicago Daily News)
While the changes in the football
rules for this year are few in number,
l believe the rule making all loose
balls dead at the point of recovery
will have big effect on the game.
l favor the rule, though in the past
Princeton teams have been very sue
cessfuI in winning games by recover
ing loose balls. Back in 1895 Her.
man Suter ran 95 yards against Har-
ward after recovering fumbled ball.
In 1898 Arthur Poe recovered a fum-
BILE and ran for touchdown against
Yale. John Dewitt did the same
thing in 1908, and Eddie Booth in
1907, while Sam White won both Har-
ward and Yale games in 1911 by
scooping up loose ball. In 1919 Joe
Sheerer recovered tumble for the
winning score against Yale. In 1922
Howard Gray made touchdown
against Chicago in the same way.
Yet | believe the new rule is good
for the game. Football is distinctly
team game. and there are plenty of
thrills as it is. The recovery of a
loose ball is distinctly an individual

Zuppke reign. Since 1913, Illinois has
won four games from them while los
ing five.
AS an undergraduate Kipke became
one of Michigan's leading athletes of
all time. winning nine letters, three
in basket ball, baseball and football.
One of his assistant coaches, Bonnie
Oosterbaan, also accomplished this.
During his junior year Kipke was
an all-American selection for the back
field. His chief value was in his
kicking ability. According TO Yost,
in the game against Ohio State in
1922, he had no peer. Eleven times he
punted. averaging AZ yards beyond
the line of scrimmage and seven of
the long spirals went out of bounds,
four rolled dead, Ohio State failing
to return one of them an inch.
After graduation Kipke went to
Missouri as an assistant and that year
the Tigers defeated Chicago 80. al
though the Maroons went on to Big
Ten championship. Returning to
Michigan as an assistant he stayed
until 1927 when he became head
coach at Michigan State college.

Acidity

The common cause of digestive diff
culties is excess acid. Soda cannot
alter this condition, and 1t burns the
stomach. Something that will neu-
tralize the acidity is the sensible
thing to take. That is why physicians
tell the public to use Phillips Milk of
Magnesia.
One spoonful of this delightful prep
aration can neutralize many times its
volume in acid. 1t acts instantly; re-
lief is quick, and very apparent. All
gas is dispelled; all sourness is soon
gone; the whole system is sweetened..
Do try this perfect anti-acid, and re-,
member 1t is just as good for children,
too. and pleasant for them to take.
Any drug store has the genuine, pre-
scriptional product.

resulted in the saving of "Old Iron
sides" Now there is a proposal to
junk the battleShip Olympia, the flag
ship of Admiral Dewey at Manila bay,
and only action by congress can pre-
vent this historic vessel from going
to the scrap heap.
The Olympia is now out of commits
sion and rides at anchor in the back
channel of the Philadelphia navy yard,
her once cleaning white paint scaling
off and her irOnwork rustipg away.
Recently an inspection board of the
navy reported that the Olympia had
outlived her usefulness and recon-
mended that she be disposed of. I'm
mediately chapters of the Veterans of
the Spanish-American war in all parts
of the country began bombarding the
the Navy department with kilograms,
urging the preservation of the ship,
and the department announced that
these requests will receive full con-
sideration before the final disposal of
the vessel.
The main hope for saving the Olym-
pia rests with congress. In March,
1928, Representative Cochran of Mis-
souri, introduced a bill to bring the
Olympia TO Washington for exhibition
as permanent memorial. No action
was taken on this measure at the last
session of congress, but when the ma
tiOnal legislature meets again in De-
cember it is probable that q deter
mined effort will be made to pass the
Cochran bill,
If the Olympia is thus preserved,
she will provide a sort of floating
museum of naval architecture, of
value not only as a historic relic but
as an illustration of an earlier stage
of steel-plate armament. Although
she would be an easy victim of the
Washington-type cruiser of today, the
Olympia was considered a first-class
fighting ship when she was commits
stoned in 1895. Her construction had
taken four years and cost $685. 900.
AS cruisers went she was not large
ship even 80 years ago. ..
But destiny had cast this little
cruiser for leading role in an event
of worldwide Importance. For 81
years ago America was thrilled at the
news of the Battle of Manila bay, won
by an American squadron, command
ed by Commodore George Dewey, who
had for his flagship the Olympia.
At the outbreak of the Spanish
American war Dewey was in COM
mand of the Asiatic squadron of the
American fleet then lying at anchor
in the harbor at Hongkong within
reach of the cable. He left Hongkong
with instructions to fight the Span
iards when and where he found them
and Immediately started for the Phil
ippines, stripping his ships for action
and going through battle practice on
the way. Dewey's squadron consisted
of the small cruisers Olympia. Boston,
Concord, Raleigh and Baltimore. the
collier Nanshan. the supply ship Ia
fro, the gunboat Petrol and the Monoc-
