olden days when a nation became
vile another was sent against it to
destroy it but in Our day it is dif-
,ferent. India is having her second
chance. It is a marvellous country.
She considers it a great Clay for In-
dia when Britain was led into their
country.,Britain is' doing great
-things fr India. She thinks it
would have been better for.that coun-
try if:Mahattna Gandhi had long ago
been transported. She has no cop-
fidet;ce in Gandhi. They have watch'•
ed him foe twenty years.. Ile: is so
crafty be doubts if there is an Eur-
opean mind who can equal him. Her
-remarks were so very interesting she
will ' be sure to receive a very warm
weleonie should she come again.

COLI.EGIATE FOOTBALL
Clinton and Exeter Collegiate
teams met on Thursday afternoon on
the ]heal grid in the second game of
the schedule in the intercollegiate
football league. The score was 3-0
for the home team. Clinton had the
advantage in the first half of what
wind there was blowing and also a
slight advantage in ground slope.
In that half the ball was almost
continually on the Exeter goal area,
the Clinton defence scarcely getting
enough play to keep then warm. In
this half Clinton scored twice. The
first goal was kicked in from a
scrimmage before the goal posts and
the second :from a penalty. earned
in front of the goal, The half-time
whistle blew before anything further
happened.
In the last half, with wind and
ground slope in their favor, Exeter
forced the pace for awhile and it
looked as though they would regis-
ter a counter. They were unable to
bold the pace, however, and the ball
again took up permanent quartets
around the Exeter goal.
With three minutes to gd Clinton
again scored from a well -directed
kick to the left of the goal, which
the goal -keeper failed to take care
of.
While Clinton showed superior
strength throughout the whole game
the Exeter eleven put up a good con-
test' and the Monte team had to work
hard for their victory.
Principal E. A. Fines of the Clin-
ton Collegiate staff, refereed the
game with satisfaction to both sides.

tained- the visitors at dinner in the
