Cornell had scored toward the end of the first half through several well•executed for ward passes, when Gray blocked one of Walder's attempted punts and McClellan quickly recovered the ball. As the time was short it was thought best to try a field goal, ratner than rush theball over from the 13-yard mark, and Larry drop kicked the oval cleanly over the bar.

Future Price Five Cents The Lincoln-Douglas Debates Volume three of the five volumes of Illinois Historical Collections that have recently been added to the library is one of the fullest and best works on the Lincoln Douglas de bates that has yet been published. The volume was edited by President Spalks, and contains an introduc tion and notes written by him. It is a fascinating treatment of a very interesting subject. The introduction beats on stump speaking, the two candidates, the general characteristics of the cam paign, the challenge which led to the debates, and the newspaper corres pondents who reported them. Then follow the verbatim reports of the debates, together with the comments on them made by newspapers thioughout the country. A chapter is given to the progress of the cam paign as it was portrayed in the newspaper reports at the time. The election clay and its results are brought out in the same way. The newspaper criticisms of stump methods, clippings that show the humor of the campaign, and cam paign poems each form a chapter. In the last chapters are brought to gether press tributes to Douglas and Lincoln. Neatly the enthe %yolk is an in- genious compiling of newspaper articles horn both sides and when one leads it he is taken back fifty years and finds himself cheering with the enthusiastic audiences which stood for six hours to listen to the two great orators. It gives a most perfect picture of that great campaign, and it is as interesting as the best novel.
