CHICAGO, H.. Sept. 1.-The COL

off the field with such frequency near
the end last night that Leroy Monsky

to the game late in the fourth quarter
He took it.
Confusion arising from the stars
wholesale substitutions was so great
that at one juncture they had l3
players in their -up-eight on the
line and five in the backfield. The
collegians voluntarily elected one lad,
and the officials stopped proceedings,
counted noses and waved another to
the sidelines.

Delivers Address At Annual
Western North. Carolina
Methodist Conference.

Charlotte, Oct. 23.-Bishop Clare
Purcell told the annual meeting of
the Western North Carolina Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, here today that a
preachers primary duty was to
preach. :.
Bishop Purcell, who preached to a
large crowd at the First Methodist
Church, asserted that "Jesus was
primarily preacher" and added
that 'this should be said of every
minister of the gospel"
First and foremost, he (the min
ister) should preach" said Bishop
Purcell, "and though there are many
things preacher may do he should
make the preaching of the gospel
his first consideration"
He declared that "there is nothing
we can do with the gospel except
preach it There is no reason SIM
ply to discuss it, to argue about it,
to debate it. The only thing to do
with the gospel is to preach it. And
no greater honor can come to a man
than to stand before other men-a
multitude or half dozen, it matters
not-and bring them the best of all
news, the news of salvation from
sin, of mans higher destiny"
Bishop Purcell told his audience
that it was a happy truth that Chris
tians throughout the world, of every
cred and denomination, virtually
unite on the essential good things in
the gospel while they separate upon
the uneSsentials.
I'VE may become so concerned
the orderliness and the beauty of
cur service, the beauty Of the blend
ing of voices in music and in pray
e" he warned, chat we may for
get to emphasize the essentials, the
great truths, the truths of God the
Father, of Christ the Son, and the

A Preachers Primary Duty Is
To Preach, Bishop Purcell Says

US H Y
Holy Spirit that is with US and about
us, the symbol of the cross and Cal
vary and its meaning, regeneration,
salvation.
"We must keep ever before as
these essentials. Not that we should
not enjoy the other beautiful things;
but we must never forget the essen
tials in our concern with the unes-
sentials.
Christ saw the beautiful things
about him. He saw the stars, the
mountains, the brooks, the trees. But
always he saw faces. When he
preached there was ever before him
a multitude of faces, faces of little
children, faces Of tired men, faces
of adulterers and adulteresses, faces
Of murderers and thieves upon the
cross, always faces, faces, faces"

PHILIP MUsCTA

The son of Italian immigrants, his education has been faulty, hi5 so- cial background is not of the best. but he makes up for it with a light ing quick intelligence, a glib and persuasive tongue, a cocky, confident bearing, a suavely earnest manner.
 He comes a cropper bribing customs employees but is no sooner out of prison, than he is 'llegitimately pyramiding another business. Roll ings in weath, he makes up for the lean years of his childhood by sporting spats that always are the precise color of his pants, fancy jewelry, extravagant vests. He wines and Sines stage celebrities and has the ear of financiers. From each one, he learns something polished ac- cent from one, table manners from another, how to wear good clothes like a gentleman. His crooked busi- ness ShimmieS, is about to fall. Cockiiy, he tells the now suspicious bankers that heM make good on the morrow and in the night he fees. Caught, he tries to kill himself, is returned to New York city, pleads guilty, tells the district attorney that he had been motivated by an overpowering greed for money.

A person of greater dignity could hardly be imagined. His clothes are of the very best material cut by the most expensive tailors, but they are sober grays. His voice is heavy toned, his accent is cultured, but his reticence is so marked it occasions intending comment among his asso- ciates. His reputation is of reso- lute man whose thought are tram lated directly into action without the intervention of words. He has no friends, no intimateS. He is likc spider, inert in the center of web, planning, always planning. Suddenly he is electrified into action and he strikes with amazing speed.

Cut in Production
OfCopper
Is Ordered
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Dec. THE Interna-
tional Copper Committee today or
dered production cut to 100 per
cent of basic tonnages by January l.
A restriction to los per cent will
be made effective December IS. At
present the quota is ITO per cent,
effective January /, with output
on an unrestricted basis until that
time.
In October, when the red metal
was in the best statistical position
for some time from the point OF
view of existing stocks and con-
sumer demand, the copper cartel
removed all restrictions on output,
then established the ITO per cent
base as of January /. In the mean
time recurrence of political troubles
in Europe and a slackening demand
restrained copper buying and pointed
to a possible glut in the market.
The cartel regulates production
abroad, but not in the United
States.)
