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. Stevens pulled a pretty piece

the result was that they, did not
threaten the Blue Stocking goal in the
second half. 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

to run with the ball from his own one

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

Paul Accused (vv ]jg).
Paul was now ^ t he ji*nds of f>!Ix

ft CCTuser8 had come teens Jerusalem.
Ananias, the hlg^ priest* and elders
came with Tertullus^^irhaps a»|lo-
man banister, who formally tn<vde the*
accusation according (a Roman hut.
He began with flattery. 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).
This they hoped would bring him In
to conflict with the Roman power.
3. That He Was the Ringleader of
a Sect—a Schlsmatlcal Party—a Her
etic (▼. 5).
This waa designed to throw con
tempt and suspicion upon the Chris
tians, by this means to bring Paul Into
deeper trouble.
4. That He Had Profaned the Tem
ple (v. 6). , >
In This charge we see the wltflcedness

II. Paul’s Defense (vv. 10-21).
This is a splendid example of the
strength and dignity of a man whose
life is controlled by a noble purpose,
and who has nothing to conceal, and
will not distort or suppress facts.
1. Paul’s Frankness and Courtesy
(v. 10). ^
Flattery Is entirely wantmg. He
gave recognition of the fact that Felix
had been ruler of this people long
enongh to be able to Judge Justly, as
the habits and ways of the Jews were
familiar to him; he then In a digni
fied manner assumes that Felix will
render a Just decision based on the
facts of the case.
2. The Charge of Sedition Denied
(vv. 11-12).
He flatly and scornfully denied this
charge, showing Ita utter falsity since

work, especially so in that his recent

sfter this juncture that the breaks

the time was too short, it beinf but
twelve day# since he went to Jeru
salem, and half of that time had been
spent as a prisoner of the Romans.
3. 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.
