$ it In one of the most animaftted football games ever witnessed on ^ Palmetto gridiron, the Oglethorpe Petrels on Friday afternoon defeated the Presby- teri&'n Bh» Stackings, the final score standing 17 to 16 in favor of the Geor gians. From a Presbyterian College 4>oint of view, it was another heart- breaker, one in which the best team did not come out at the big end of the score. The South Carolinians out drove, out passed, out punted, and out genertdled the Petrels, but the lucky S. I. A. A. champions won on two bad ter. Dugan three more at tackle, and Stamps went three and a. half more for-a touchdown. ■ Stamps kicked the extra point, making the count stand 17 to 14 in favor^f the Petrels, The third period ended shortly afterwards and in the last period the ball was kept deep in Petrel territory the en tire time, After an exchange of punts, Stamps attempted a drop kick from the 50 yard line; the kick,was perfectly aimed, bqt lacked the power necessary to carry iW over the up rights.

The fact that the Blue Stockings garnered twelve first downs to nine for Oglethorpe is only in a slight measure indicative of how the charges of Walter Johnson played rings around the much-vaunted eleven from Atlanta. Adrian Maurer, all- southern halfback, was unable to <|o anything with the strong iPresbyterian line, except on two occtsions when he tore off fifty yards around an end and made another long run at another different time. All in all, he gained very ,little as a grand * total, being thrown for heavy losses again and a- gayn by the ‘scarlet clad Presbyterians. But that factt does not dim two pretty runs he did make; they were beautiful specimens of broken field nmning, and he proved the fact that he is as slip pery as an eel. The first few minutes of the game looked sort of dark for the Blue Stockings. Stamps kicked off to Ogle thorpe’s forty yard line# and by a series of cross bucks and end runs the Georgians had carried the cowhide down to the Presbyterian 12 yard lihe, and after having made three attempts to get a first down, Campbell dropped back to the 19 yard line add booted a field goal. The Blue Stockings had, while being pushed steadily towards their own goal, worked put a defense that was soon to stop the thrusts of Maurer and Campbell, for after that sensational march down the field by the Petrels, the latter were not able to carry a sustained attack for any did not call signals, but called the play while they were in a circle. It also appeared that they were seeking to he tackled behind their goal for a safety, whjch would give P. C. 16 at most, and which would rot allow the Blue Stockings sufficient time to make another touchdown or a gians had been thrown for losses, and Campbell must have known the dan ger he was taking when he attempted to run with the ball from his own one foot line. At any rate P. C. did get 0 safety, and the ball was brought out to the Oglethorpe 30 yard line and given to the Georgians. It was now too late for the Presbyterians to score again, as the time was up after the Petrels had run a couple of plays. The latter had been fighting with all their strength to stave off defeat at the hand of the Presbyterians, and it ap pears that their shrewdness in choos ing the method was what saved them -from the defeat that doubtless would have been theirs if they had pursued ordinary football tactics in the closing seconds of thp game. The entire Presbyterian team played with clock-like precision, performing in by far the' best manner in which they have been seen this year. The backfield played the most consistent and coordinate game they have played thus far. They were able to drive through the line for healthy gains al most at Willi ana the passing attack was a constant threat to the bewilder ed Petrels. It seemed to completely demoralize them, as it did the Terriers l&st week. The Blue Stocking mach ine now appears to have a balanced length of time, although they did form of attack, and teems to he gain- score a couple of touchdowns in the next quarter. Those touchdowns were gained on breaks, though. Oglethorpe had kicked off to Presbyterian who had the hall on her own 20 yard line. and were preparing to carry it back down the field. A fumble on the fif teen yard line was recovered by a Pet rel, and again Maurer and Campbell were able to cover the 15 yards be ing momentum as the season draws to a close, just the the famous Ffeshman outfit of last year did. Dugan played unusually well, making several beauti- ful gaftffi and hacking up the line in high style. Hunter again displayed his a<Uptness at piloting a grid machine; he was bold in his method of attack, and his boldness was certainly reward ed. Stamps played beautifully, get- tween the Oglethorpe machine and the , tj n g 0 ff 8ome good punts, making Presbyterian goal.

He gave Felix the fullest praise when he and all the people knew thaf he lied, for Felix was one of the worst goverlnors, destitute of morals and Justice. He brought a four-fold charge against Paul: 1. "A Pestilent Fellow** (▼. 5). This would Indicate a fellow utterly base and corrupt—a plague. 2. An Inciter of Rebellion, a Mover of Sedition (v. 5).

Griffith again blocked a punt, which was recovered by W’ilson on Oglethorpe’s 8 yard line. Rucker and Woodley played well at guards, as did Timmons and Stevens ct ends. Timmons pulled some won derful passes out of the air and got several “'nice tackles. Stevens was watched so plosely that he was very seldom open for passes, but he was unusually good on defense. Kirven played his usual good game at center and deserves much credit for his good work, especially so in that his recent injury is still paining him.

The Charge of Heresy (vv. 14- 16). This he met by a .concession and a denial. He admitted that he was of this “way” which they called heresy, but denied that Christians were schis matics. He showed clearly that his ac tions were In keeping with the Hebrew religion. (1) He worshiped the same God (▼. 14). (2) He fully believed In the same Scriptures (v. 14). (3) He had the same hope of a coming resurrection of the dead (v. 15). He declared that he had as the prin ciple of life a conscience void of of fense before God and man. " (4) The Charge of Sacrilege or Prof anation of the Temple (w. 17-21). This charge he refuted by showing: (1) That he had come all the way from Greece (v. 17), to worship at the fen at. (2) That he did not come up egipty- handed but had brought alms for his nation (v. 17). (3) That there were not competent witnesses present to testify of his be havior In the temple <v. 19). (4) By challenging his enemies to testify as td his conduct In the coun cil (v. 20). 111. Felix Trembles Before Paul (vv. 22-27). This Is a sort of a sequel t<r the trial. Wicked as Felix was. Paul’s manner somehow won his favor, though he did not release him. His sentence was Indulgent In/prlsonment. which kept him fre** from his enemies while under Roman protection. Felix sent for Paul that he might hear of Christ from him. Paul behaved him self aright before these sinners In high life. He reasoned of righteousness, self-control and of Judgment to come, before Felix and his sinful wife with such power that Felix was terrified, and declared that he would hear Paul farther at a convenient timet Tills was a most flimsy excuse for not Changing his Ufa and granting Justice to Paul.
