Coach Johnson went on to say that football players must be obedient -at all times and that Coach Bocock’s course will help football both in the high schools and the colleges. He said that the Carolina coach’s insist ence on discipline had probably caus ed the loss of the game with Furman j University last Saturday.

' , Coach Johnson was given a rous ing reception when he was introdweed, the Rotarians singing, “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow.” He said that for the past ten years he has tried Ho instill in his players at the Presby terian College of South Carolina the spirit of fighting hard and winning clean. The old style football was rough and tumble, but now the little man has as much chance as the big, for now brain is required as well as brawn. He highly praised Coach Couch of the Greenville High School, having known vand played with him some years ago in Michigan. A foot ball coach in his sympathies and con tacts must be one of the boys. He said that this year one-third of the ! student body at P, C. went out for football. It is the fighting spirit which makes a good team. Players must hit hard and clean to win. From 70 to 90 per cent of success in football is the will to fight hard. Clean foot ball will uphold the game and elevate its standard. Clean tactics on the gridiron must be encouraged. Coach Johnson told of meeting this summer “Red” Grange, the famous Illinois football player, and described him as a clean-cut fellow of clean habits. Football players should have the spirit that Roosevelt exhibited when he was shot in Milwaukee. He insisted on keeping his engagement to speak to the people, before attention was given to his serious wound. Ik CATARACT FOLLOWING ELECTRIC BURNS . DB. FREDERICK R.

TuN body, located In the front of the cv- Is just the same as the object lens In a kodak. It is the lens by which the light rays, entering the eye, are concentrated and focused so that the image falls on the retina, which is the film or plate. In front of the lens is the iris, a colored substance made up of fine and delicate muscle fibres. These fibres are sensitive to light, con tracting under strong ’light so as to shut part of It off and dilating in a dim light or In the dark so as to let in all the light possible. The round opening in the center of the Iris is the pnpll, which looks black because there is no Tight .behind it. The eye lid Is the shutter. If the object lens of yonr camera was made of ground glass so that the light couldn't get through, you couldn't get a very good picture. So when the crystalline lens In the eye becomes dense, .thlclT and opaque, sight is in terfered with. The lens turns whits and looks as though it bud been boiled. Finally it becomes so dense that no light can pass and the patient Is practically blimi, although the ‘'■eye could see iwrfectly if only the light could get through. In.such cases, for thousands of years, surgeons have re« moved the lens and so enutled the patient to see again. What causes this hardening of the lens nobody knows. It Is commoner in old age than In young life. It is more frequent in those exposed to great heat and strong light, ns steel puddlers, glass blowers ami bottle makers. Since the‘development of electricity, it has been found that severe electri cal shocks or burns are apt to be fol lowed by cataract. In a recent if*ne of the Journal of the American Medi cal Association, two San Frut^Js^o j oculists, Dr. W. S. Franklin and Dr. F. ! C. Cordes, review the cases report-# of cataract caused by # electrical burns. In 1897 a iwoman telegrapher in Aus tria was strncK by lightning. She was severely burned on the face. TVwo months later she developed cetaruct in both ey?:s. celved a shock was no burn but cataract soon fol lowed. Since then a number of cuses have been reported, so thut either severe burns or fehock from electrical currents are now recognized aq causes for this jpysteridu* disease.
