Hidden Qualities Revealed.
Jack Hagerty's mind is about
made up that Julius Koshlap, the
ambidextrous passer, and wasp
wasted Lou Ghecas will supply the
offensive punch provided last year
by Joe Mellendeck. They have been
setting merry pace in sham battles
on the Hilltop.
Mellendeck's loss, while q blow
to the team, has served to bring
out hidden qualities in other back
field candidates who were content
to let Joe handle most of the run
ming assignments last year. Kosh-
lap, for example, confined his ef-
forts to passing almost exclusively,
while Ghecas was somewhat of q
one-play specialist in travelling
around left end. But that's all
changed now. Koshlap is develop
ing into a tolerable runner, and
Ghecas had made remarkable strides
as kicker and passer. They should
double their value to Hagerty this
year.
Maryland was at full strength,
numerically speaking, as 1t went
into the final days Of training for
the curtain-raiser with Hampden-
Sidney at College Park. Bob Smith,
regular center, and Frank Skotnicki,
regular back, were in uniform again.
although Smiths injured knee prob
ably will prevent him from appear
ing this week.
Most of the Terps' time will be
devoted to smoothing out offensive
maneuvers, although defensive tao
tics, particularly with regard to
passes, will not be neglected. Hamp-
den-Sydney is expected to launch
heavy aerial bombardment.
Frank Dobson Is standing on his
original line of Shaffer and Beamer,
ends; Brown and Albarano, tackles;
Gienger and Lawrence, guards, and
Wharton at center; but the back
field still is uncertain. Murphy at
quarter and Mondorn at left half
are the only lads assured of start
ing.
At Catholic U. Coach Bergman
was prone to take South Carolina's s
loss to Wake Forest last Saturday
with a grain of salt. As matter
of record, the Dutchman picked the
Deacons to win, but he's genuinely
worried about this weeks battle
with the Gamecocks.
Don't be surprised If South Caro-
lima loses to Wake Forest" he told
this reporter last week. II don't
think Rex Enright can get his team
ready for an opening opponent as
formidable as Wake Forest, and I
don't think he really will be trying.
If South Carolina can take 1t in
stride it'll be fine, but if not he
won't worry about it. The game
he's pointing for is with us. It will
be Carolina's Homecoming, and En-
right will have q chance to get his
boys on edge for us"
Only one more scrimmage Is
scheduled at Brookland before the
squad entrains for Columbia, and
that probably viii b Wednesday

This weeks program, bringing the

the cash customers. OF the 18 teams
listed above. only Davidson and Van

Davidson's Wildcats took an 1914
setback from North Carolina State
Saturday, while the Commodores
were held to 1913 tie by Tennes-

the ivy League" members will wait

HIS BANNER OF
LOVE
By Rev. G.. M. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely M. E. Church
Ridgely, Md.

Among the beautiful phrases
that one finds in that highly pic
turesque and emotional poetic
writing of the Old Testament, the
Song of Solomon, is one that
reads: 'his banner over me was
love"
The phrase is suggestive of a
heroic man pushing forward in an
effort to carry his banner toward
a victorious achievement. AL
though surrounded by discouraging
conditions and hindering circum-
stances, he presses his way on inch
by inch, steadily mounting every
obstacle in his pathway with a de-
termination to win or to die in the
attempt.
You cannot thoughtfully read
this phrase from the Songs of Sol
ONION without at once feeling how
expressive it is of the spirit of the
ministry or Jesus.
AS we see Him struggling for
ward in the accomplishment of His
ministry, handicapped by the ig-
norance of the people and obstruct-
ed by the Animosity of the Pharis-
ees, we become aware of the fact
that through it all He carried hero
ically above Him the banner of
Love. Although unseen by phys
ical eye, that banner of Love was
flying over every act of His blessed
ministry.
When the hopeless leper plead
ingly approached Him, was not His
heart filled with compassion Did
He not touch him into immediate
health? When He sat on the
Mount of Olives and looked out
over the old city Of Jerusalem, was
it not out of the love of His heart
that He wept over their blindness
to truth and their hardness of
heart, When He was Himself
gripped by the agony of torcher-
Gus and maliciously inflicted death,
was it not out of love for even His
enemies that He summoned the
last remnants of His fast ebbing
strength in prayer for their for
giveness
This banner of love which He
carried all through His ministry
has now been given into our hands.
At the Last Supper He handed this
banner to His disciples and to us
when He said: "A new command
ment give unto you, That We love
one another"
Happy is the man whose chief
aim in life, whose motive of SER
vice for his fellow men, whose
touch upon the lives of others is
that of Divine Love!
