The Coaches, Convention.

MOST of the foot ball coaches going
1V1 to New York for the annual mid
Winter convention have little to
say for publication on the matter of
foot ball overemphasis. To them this
argument has become an old and frayed
story. They take the angle that any
overemphasis that might be around
isn't due to any fault upon their side,
which is largely true. The main pres
sure has either come from college ath-
letic authorities or from the outside
Many Of them know what happens when
they can't win, even though the fault is
not theirs in any way.
1t isn't an easy or simple job.
Rockne and Notre Dame have won 10
straight games, but they lost four games
in 1923. Alexander and Georgia Tech
cleaned UP In 1928, but this last Fall

The Point After Touchdown.

The Point After Touchdown.
WHATEVER is done about the point
Wv after touchdown, there is no dis
counting this one bare fact-it
is a freaky and unfair way to win or
lose game. 1t is good idsa from the
angle OF breaking up tie games. But it
isn't sporting proof Of superiority. 1t
Is throwing entirely too much impor-
lance upon one play that has little of
the elements OF team play or foot ball
fundams ntals. But it is an interesting
episode for the spectators, and thereby
adds a certain amount of spice TO the
contest.
If it is important to break up tie
games the fair way would be to award
the victory in case of tie score to the
team making the greater number of
first downs or gaining the most amount
of ground. The weaker team, under
this method, would almost never be able
to win.
The point has been advanced that it
isn't bad idea now and then to give
the weaker team a chance to win, if lit
can stick that closely down the stretch.
And there is something to this All in
all, it is a debate that has good argu-
ments to back up both sides, which is
true of many debates in which violent
oratory fills the air.

IN the meanwhile the big Alabama

i Washington State battle is now only
three days away. Both have come
a long way undefeated-from last Sep
TENDER on to the start of another year.
In modern foot ball this is a great
marching, for most of them fall by the
wayside before November is over.
1t is at least proof of strength on
both sides of the field, and this next
test should mean one of the best foot
ball games of the campaign. In each
camp it will be largely a matter of
breaking down a high-claSs defense.

The Baccalaureate Service

At the baccalaureate service Sun
day evening in the opera house,
Rev. G.. d. Clifford of the Malta
Methodist Episcopal church took as
his text the 10Th verse of the 26th
chapter of The Acts-'W Whereupon,
0 King Agrippa, | was not dis
obedient unto the heavenly vision"
| These were words of Paul in his
defense before Agrippa. Rev. Cliff
ford reviewed the life of Paul
! (Saul before the heavenly vision;
| and the effect on the world that
that vision has had since. The
progress of the world has been due
| to Paul's vision. Use the light,
the speaker said, for real practical
| service. In their way through
school, pupils have received light,
j and as they go through college, ad-
ditional light may be theirs. Men
become great when the vision
comes. The blessings of Christian
ity came from those whose vision
came from God. Forbid that those
visions should fail Many have
been born with great powers, but
lost them, because in the hour of
y vision they turned from the light
then the vision faded and they be-
came weak.
Ceasing TO use faculties, or
through misuse of them, mankind
becomes weak. The example Of the
man with the one talent, who buried
1t, was cited Judas Iscariot, the
speaker said, might have been a
great man-but he betrayed his
Master-turned from light and
truth, and in SO doing came to a
tragic end. Seek not the dark places
where sin has its effect on human
life, but be obedient to the heaven
| ly vision, and life will expand and
! grow, just as did the lives Of Jesus
and Paul.
The M. & NJ. graduating class, in
caps and gowns, occupied the sec
ton in front of the stage, back of
which section was reserved for the
parents of the members Of the class.
The scripture lesson was read, pray
er was offered and benediction pro-
nounced, by Rev. Clifford. The M.
& NJ. glee club, under the direction
of Miss Mason, supervisor of mu-
sic, sang THE Lost Chord" and
Miss Mary Elizabeth Partesius sang

were Day Is Dying in the West,

| At recent meeting of the board
+, of education of Logan's public
schools, Prof. George E. Carr was
chosen as superintendent Of the
schools of that place. This place at

but Mr.. Carr in a sense was not, un-

J for him to go there to talk it over,
!, following which he was chosen Fri
day night and has accepted the po-
sition. The change is an advance
ment, and the coming year Mr.. Carr
will receive $500 more salary than
he was getting here, and his salary
here was far beyond that of his
predecessors, and was as much as
could be paid here.
Prof. Carr has been superintend-
ent Of M. & NJ schools the last sew
en- years, and it is with genuine re-
gret that the board of education,
teachers of NJ & NJ. pupils and cit

Carr succeeds the late G. A. Ridg-

sidering leaving Logan, the board
there had its eye on Mr.. Carr, in
the event he did leave.
Prof. Carr holds a B. S. degree
from the Ohio University at Athens.
and NJ. A. degree from the Ohio
State University. Not only is he a
very successful school man and su-
perintendent, but he is a citizen Of
the highest type, in general.

"Out OF The Night"

The senior M. e M. class play
Friday night at the opera house,
drew a full house. The play was
out of the ordinary run of plays
usually. selected for such occasions.
It was Hutchinson e Williams mys-
terry production "Out of the Night
The cast of characters was as fol-
lows: Tom Holland, Robert Hart
wells nephew, William Allen; Icha-
bod Blivens, the county constable,
Robert Barkhurst; DR.. Sarah Wal
ters, Ruth Grove; Kathryn Smith,
Hollands sweetheart, Mary Alice
Smith; Zelna, an East Indian, Clar
ence Adrean; Captain Monohan,
Eugene Lewis; Frederick Aver, a
detective, Wayne Parsons; Jim
Boyle, boot-legger, Frank Adrean;
Robert Hartwell, Harold Milligan;
Lenita Lenare, Marjorie Sheridan.
The several players portrayed
their respective characters in man
ner that added to the deep mystery
of who killed Robert Hartwell,
(Harold Milligan), the uncle of Tom
Hartwell, (Wm Allen), leading
Nman, whose sweetheart was Kathryn
Smith, MARY Alice SMITH. The
leading couple very cleverly played
their parts in proving their inno-
cence of the crime. Suspicion also
pointed strongly to Zelna, Clarence
Adrean17, an East Indian, who was
servant in the Hartwell house. This
very mysterious character was splen-
didly portrayed. The role of DR..
Sarah Walters, (Ruth Crowe), was
very we'll taken. Captain Monohan,
eugene Lewis, in uniform of his
country; and Frederick Aver,
(Wayne Parsons), plain clothes de-
tective, did their best to clear up
the mystery; Jim Boyle, Crank
Adrean), a bootlegger, through his
similarity in appearance to Zelna,
only confused the issue the more.
In the end it was discovered that
Lenita Lenare, (Marjorie Sheridan),
a young woman of the world, did the
killing of Robert Hartwell, who was
her husband, secretly married, a
wealthy man years her senior, anc
who was homeloying business
man. The killing took place when
they were arguing over separa-
ton, and was accidental. While the
parts taken by these two were brief,
both did real acting. The outstand-
ing character of the play was Icha
bod Blivens, (Robert Barkhurst),
the county constable-"the repre-
sentative of the law" He was lonr
on talk" but short in doing any
thing worth while in clearing up tho
mystery, suppressing the bootlegger.
sex, and of the multitude of things
ehat went wrong, he blamed women
as being responsible for them all.
His part figured prominently
throughout, and when at times the
play showed some signs Of drag
ging, or when pause ensued for
any reason, Barkhurst faxed lines
and filled in as cleverly as a pro-
fessional. He was a scream" and
a whole show in himself
No small part of the effect of the
play was due to the scenery adapta-
ton, and electrical effects, which |
were by Walter Marquis and the
manual arts class. James Leeper
was radio and property man. Har
ry Best, Donald Finley and Birdwell |
Barrett operated the snow scenes.
The high school orchestra, under |
the direction of Miss Mason, fur
nished music.
