DR.. Stanley Arthur COOK OF cam
bridge University, writing in the En-
cyclopaedia Britannica, says: "The
principal problem which is presented
by the New Testament to the histo-
rian is the problem of accounting
for the faith of the early Christians
In one whom they had known as
Jesus the carpenters son of Naza
reth and whom they had seen die
the shameful death of criminal
outside Jerusalem"
But the difficulty thus expressed
admittedly is not insuperable. The
Gospel accounts of the Cruciflxion
refer to a considerable number of
persons as having been witnesses at
the place called Golgotha." Ac-
cording to Matthew they" who
fastened the Saviour to the Cross
remained on the scene "and sitting
down they watched him there"
Other individuals are described as
passing by, reviling the Sufferer and
"wagging their heads" The chief
priests, with the scribes and the
elders" likewise Knocked Him.
Marks narrative also mentions
these hostile spectators and stipu-
lates that a centurion stood over
against" Jesus as He died But the
soldier was friendly, declaring:
Truly this man was the Son of
Coda remarkable statement con-
sidering that it represented an
attitude of criticism of the imperial
power of Rome on the part of
disciplined servant of that power
To the question: Who heard and
reported the centurion's acknoWl-
edgment of the Lords divinity? the
Apostle answers: Women looking
on afar off, among whom was Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother
of James the Less and of JoseS, and
Salome and many other women
which came up with Him unto Jeru-
salem" His words are supported by
Luke, who tells of "a great company
of people and of women, which also
bewailed and lamented Him" the
latter standing near enough to Jesus
to hear Him when He addressed them
from the Cross. The same chronicle
specifies "Tulers" who derided Him
and soldiers who Knocked Him Fur
ther, the Good Physician attests a
general conversion of the witnesses,
explaining:
And all the people that came together
to that sight, beholding the things which
were done, Smote their breasts, and
returned. And all His acquaintance
and the women that followed Him from
Galilee, stood far Off, beholding these
things.
In the Gospel of John, however, a
very important addition is made to
the story when the writer sets forth
that: There stood by the Cross of
Jesus, His mother and His mothers
sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas." -"
In His Agony, Christ gives to her
who had borne Him the consolation
of "the disciple whom He
loved
Such is the background of recent
Associated Press dispatch from Jeru-
salem to the effect that an urn,
discovered in a private burial plot
on the Bethlehem road, carries a
Greek inscription written by an eye
witness to the Crucifixion. Scientists
at the Hebrew University are under
stood to have judged the vessel "the
oldest archaeological record of Chris
tianity." If they are correct in their
verdict, the problem of historicity
outlined by Dr. Cook in the Britain
MICA may be solved. It would be
hard to imagine more important
event in the universal field of
religion.

Luck was running both ways

The party reported that they
saw a school Of amber jacks,
numbering between so and so, but
were unable to hook any.
On the way back into the dock
at Lumina, the "Moja" ran into
a gail about IL miles out, with
winds estimated to be between
so and 60 miles per hour. Only
damage reported to the ''Moja--

here tomorrow to make final plans
for the playoffs and it is likely
that Wilson'S decision on the Mar
tinsville case will be appealed to
the board at that time.
Martinsville is charged with hav-
ing four class men, one over the
limit, on it's roster for nine games
OF the regular schedule. The league
rules limit the class men on each
team to three. A class man is a
player who as been with profes-
sional club for as much of 30 days
for each of three seasons. Second
Baseman Mcdonald is the player
who is the center of controversy.
Today, Burlington clinched fourth
place in the standings by defeating
Raleigh, IA, getting into the first
division by a half game margin
over Leaksville, which defeated
Greensboro 4-3. If the protest
against Martinsville is upheld, it
is likely that Leaksville will re.
place it as the fourth team in the
first division.

Six-foot-four-inch Dick Fowler, a

I sensed I was going to pitch

after Lou Finney hit that Long

the NINTH
Milt Byrnes was on first base
with one of the four walks Fowler
gave up, and long hit might have
cost him not only his no-hitter,

ninth. But Fowler met the chal-

'My curve and my change-oft

said, adding that he was glad his
near-perfect game came against
the Browns, who beat him in a
16-inning 1 to 0 game at Shibe
Park in 1912. In that year Fowler
appeared in 81 games, won six and
lost II for the AS.
Fowler went into the Canadian

Meanwhile, George Miller of the

He allowed only three hits and no

game from going into extra in

Penn Grid
Hopes Rise
BY J. HERBERT ALTscu11r1

~ nEnoEhI ALTSCHULL
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. e.-tB-
Inc Quakers of the Univ ersity OF
pennsylvania will be fielding a
young, relatively green squad OF
grldders in 1945, but that doesn't
mean they'll be easy for anybody.
Coach George Munger whipped
the Red and Blue into well-balanc.
ed team with limited material last
year. strong enough to dump Duke
and play better-than-expected foot
ball against Army and Navy.
Gone is the spark of the l945 at
tack, Skippy Minisi, who'll be play.
ing with Navy, but in his place at
the tailback spot will be Bob
Evans, dynamic star on the 1912
freshman team, returned from The
Army.
And Munger says he's going to
flavor his traditional single wing.
back with bit of T-formation. Ex.
actly how many ''T" plays Munger
will devise remains to be seen,
but he says cautiously the single
wing is ''the style know best"
Only seven lettermen were on
hand to greet Munger when the
Quakers opened fall drills and OF
these, only three were in the start
ing lineup when Penn faced Cor.
nell in last years season closer.
They are 250-pound George Saw
itsky, one of the best tackles in
the east, Center Bob Mostertz and
Guard Joe Dickerson. Around these
three, Munger should be able to
build stalwart line.
Backs are more numerous. Be-
sides Evans, there is Don Schneid-
er,, who also played some bangup
football as a freshman in 1912.
Likely to impress is Farquhar
Jones.
During opening drills, Munger
was experimenting with a spinner
play spanked by Jones. He tried it
again and again." Munger said,
until he learned it. Later l saw
him practicing again on his own
accord. When he gets home he'll
practice before a mirror"
Plus Evans, Schneider and Jones,
Munger can count on reserve backs
Jack Martin and Andy Gordon
from last years squad.
The boys are green, says the
youthful mentor now in his eighth
year at the Quaker helm, but 'I'm
sure they'll work hard, train hard
and get better as the season goes
along"
The Red and Blue face a stiff
schedule including Army, Navy
and North Carolina, now under
Carl Snavely's coaching and q
team which the Quakers have nev
er been able to beat.
The Munger philosophy has al
ways been to point for each game
as it comes and at the moment
Brown University, the Quaker
first opponent this season. is t
''foe' of the all-home eight-game
schedule.
