Holmes for tive times signals, changed them. Now the ball went to in succession, and each time he was able to gain a little on account of his weight. Campbell, on the side lines, saw that at the rate Holmes was playing he would not last long. This proved true, for in the next down Holmes was hurt and Campbell was put in in his place. The next signal and the ball came to Campbell, who broke through for one of those long runs. By the ten-yard line he Hew. Now it was the line of the flve-yard line that his Hying feet scat- tered. Near the side line the big Orange, watchful for just such a play, was waiting. A half back and a Heet tackle blocked the way in front of him. From the fullback he turned at right angles to where the half crouched low in expectation, took one quick step and jumped; jumped as he had never jumped before, and right over the half back he went, coming down on the other side and planting the ball between the posts. A'few minutes later the sound of the refereets whistle closed the game, with the Varsity as winner. 31': teats 101 . 1 tothehomc 0t 1 . . ouhl he sattstt dwas now a heap 0t tn hmgcr hc St , .

;;;; Ellie Eight Ealf mark Harold Burns, ll4 On the football field Campbell was a young tiger. A hundred and forty pounds and playing on a varsity eleven, which demands weight, pluck and intelligence, had won for him the position of right half back. Two years he had worked faithfully on the squad. The third year nearly the entire line had to be developed from new players. The coach was too busy to undertake this, so he appointed some of the seniors to help coach the new ones. Campbell was appointed to coach a Freshman named Holmes, for half back. With no thought, in the beginning, that he might be raising up a rival, he had gone into the coaching with high spirit. l The Varsity played Wallace University the next Saturday, and Wallace had a heavy team, recruited from experienced players. The Varsity players went into'the game with much determination, and it seemed as if there would be no scoring. i The fierce onrushers of the Varsityls backs were crushed by the heavy Wallace line. The Wallace backs made no progress against the new line. Campbell, trying time after time to break through for one of those long runs which had won his reputation, was always pinned by Wallacels Heet little quarter. . The coach, thinking that Campbell was too light to buck against those heavy players, out Holmes in his place as haif back. ' Campbell now realized that the coaching he gave Holmes had lost him his place. The new line becoming weary of play, broke loose, and the Veterans soon added seventy yards to their credit. But here it stopped, the new line having stiffened, and in three downs the ball went to the other side. Holmes now made nearly all the yardage for the Varsity, and when the half ended he had worked the ball out of VVallacels territory and up to the center of the field. In the last half Holmes was able to gain but little, and the quarter being convinced that the Orange players were onto their 61

All seemed rolling of the ocean, dashing high against the rocks. Far off in the distance could be seen a dim blue light. It was that of a lighthouse far off in the ocean. Old Nathan had come again after many years to look at the lonely spot. He could see but little resemblance to the home of his childhood. If he could but see someone he knew, he would be satisfied. The old house where he had once lived was now a heap of ruins, the path that led down to the spring could no longer be seen. He sat on the tumbling stream, o-wers to the left, blended save the and as he gazed upon the scene the memories of his boyhood days returned to hlm. The place had once hummed with the sounds of busy workers, Iike bees about a hive. Rough wooden shanties showed where the shepherds had slept at night and the remains of a ruined cave still marked the spot where many a man had taken refuge. The tears rushed to the old mants eyes as he turned to leave the for- saken place.
