CufT did the punting in the absence ol Pillsburv and proved to be quite elTective In gaining ground by tliis metliod. Both sets of oacks were used and it is very hard lo tell which were t lie surer. The work of the senilis was not up to the usual standard. Many fum bles were made winch In a name might prove vervVosth. This was due no "doubt to the tact that Mc Donald the regular quarter was tried aOull-back and Itcaid who took his place did not play as sure nor as quick as the regular quarter The team did not line up lor sciim inagc but were kept busy by the coaches, pounding away at signals until it was almost too dark io see tho ball HIGH SCHOOL-ALUMNI tiAMK.

TELLS OF PHILIPPINES Lieutenant Barlow Speaks in the Chapel of Conditions in the I8lands---Feel the Need of Better Schools. Lieutenant Barlow, an ex-l nlvei sitv student of the class of 1800, now lieutenant in a regiment of native Philllpine scouts, spoke for a short time yesterday in chapel. He said he was glad to note the Improvement the I "diversity h;,d mado since he was a student and considered It a great favor to be allowed to call at tention to some or the features of Filipino life as he saw It. He was surprised to see the effect Catholicism hud bad upon the na tives. In this country Catholicism aids the advancement of the people and be supposed he .vould find the pocplc theie highly civilized But the contrary was true. in every town no matter how small there was a large stone church and often It would be larger than all the houses of the town put together. This plainly showed bow tho people were ground down by the Spanish Friars. Every Sunday moining everyone In the dis trict attended mass. Many of the na tives came bringing cocks under their arm for the cock fight which invari ably followed tho mass-service. One thing was peculiar in this, the priest and prominent men of the village al ways won all the money while the poor people went home to scrape up some more money b the next Sun day. Economically, tho islands arc cap able or much advancement. Tho soil is very rich and productive especially Tor rice, tobacco, hemp and sugar cane. Agriculture is very ruoe ow ing to lack or implements. Harvest ing is also ' very crude. The rice is threshed out by beating the rice beads with clubs, throwing the grain up to let 'the wind blow out the chalT. Flour is then made by pounding It up in a wooaen bowl. He considered that 't would take as much labor to make one pound of rice flour by the Filipino method as It would to make ."iOO iounos in the United States. He said that the schools were also very poor but are gradually advancing under United States government in struction. School books have been introduced and the schools have been systetntai.ed. The Islands need help and the peo ple can never be aioed properly un less ull the psoplc or the United States lend tnolr influence. He urged the students to make a thorough study of tho question D6forc con doming the governments action in tho Philippines. The Chancellor will speak on the New York election toaay. Y. W. C. A.
