coaches. You know, this Morris

10 spring the fast charge, to
open up ON q series Of plays,
to try them out. In other
words give the coaches some
thing to work ON. II certain
plays had clicked, having been
tried, no one knows but what
the entire complexion Of the
game might have been chang
ed. At any rate experimenting
would have shown what plays
needed the most work, showed
which had possibilities, and
would certainly not have jeop-
ardized the local position to .
greater extent.
Harvey really had hopes pinned
On you fellows and he still has.
Gee, it's not too late to get in their
with the right spirit. One famous
Big Ten coach said that he wants
his players to go into the game the
,nderdog-that gives them the in
,entive to win. But that's the
;ticker-the incentive to win. But
o you older fellows, who have
,een through the mill, it's yours to
,ass it along to the inexperienced
members.
The immediate cause for the
loss of the game was the small
stature of the halfbacks. They
were in no measure able to
cope with the high floating
pass that Schraeder sent, and
were too small to knock the
pass that the lanIxy Abbot
could jump for and receive. In
experience, the first game. in
juries, small halfbacks, all
were contributory to the loss.
But you can't get away from
the fact that It was spiritless
outfit that bore the local col
ors Friday. And IL was a spirit
hess outfit that fought the Par
kers. And that factor doesn't
make good ball games even
when you win. I say we still
need a spark plug.
Injuries will necessitate rear
engagements. Hoffman, veteran full

THE CALM AT THE
CENTER
BY Rev. G. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

They tell US that in the center
OF a hurricane there is an area of
calm. And we might say that this
IS true in regard to the storms of
daily living. In the midst of the
furious storms that burst upon us
there is a center of calm. And that
center of calm i.s the center of
Gods will.
Tnat is to say that when any
crisis or trouble breaks upon YOU,
II IS possible for you to reach a
place Of calmness. It is such a
pace Of calm that although the
Jury may rage around you, yet
somehow you will be held in a
quletness and in a serenity.
This place of calmness is a spir-
ltual attainment. 1t is reaching
Cne place where you can truly and
sincerely pray, mot my will, but
Inine be done" When you honest
y breathe such a prayer as this
you VIII find that your soul is en-
1erlhg INTO a strange but real state
of calm.
Jesus knew what it was to be
overwhelmed by the tempest. Who
edn Z imagine the fury of the gale
tnat bore down upon Him in Geth-
seinane? 1t prostrated Him to the
eround IN prayer. 1t was in the
must Of that violent storm that
broke upon Him that He placed
~ VIII into that of the Fathers.
alid as a result He entered into a
= am OF strength that carried Him
through the terrors and agonies of
OatVary with a poise of a master.
In the center of Gods will there
iS a marvellous mastery.
In describing that unexplainable
peace that prevails in the center of
~ou ; VIII, one has said: II closed
ly eyes upon all created things
80 SUNK into divine repose in
-, %,iich all clamorous desires were
suenced ~ and my mind lost itself in

Characters

Though you are not acquainted
with a person you are often able
to determine his character, person
atty and station in life by his man
ners in public.
In a restaurant it is easy to take
stock" Of a stranger by observing
his table manners. 1t is possible
to learn whether or not that per
son is generous and kind or selfish
and stubborn. When you see a
person eating quietly and well you
think Immediately that that person
is well bred.
On trains, in stores, anywhere,
your habits and manners reveal
your character. 1t is quite obvious
that greedy, impolite people are
stunned.
Many believe that first come,
first served is the best policy.
That is all right where people are
your equals; but, if you are setting
in a train and an elderly lady en-
ters, it is the duty of a gentleman
to rise and give his seat to her if
there isn't another one vacant in
the car.
In school our customs and habits
reveal our innerselves. They tell
what kind Of a citizen we are go
ing to be.
Let's all take heed of this and be
a little more considerate of others
lest we unfold an undesirable char
acter.
