The Protraeted meeting which has been held
at Bethel Church, Carrollton, for the past three
weeks will probably close this week. The

An exciting game of football was played on
the College grounds on Wednesday. between
the College Scrub aud the Westminster Jul
nors. The College had the advantage of
weight and experience. The Juniors were
somewhat handicapped by the absence of
their regular end and tackle, aud as it was the
first game they have played, they showed their
lack of experience. In the first half, the Jul
niors allowed the Scrub to make three touch
downs, resulting chiefly from their ignorance
of what to do and how to do it, but during the
latter part of the half they forced the ball to-
ward the opponents goal and at the call of
time they had it on the Scrubs five yard line.
Score first half 12-0. In the second the game
was hotly contested aud the ball was kept in
the middle of the field. The only touch down
was made by Stull on a remarkable run of IS
yards, and at the call of time the ball was in
the middle of the field. No goals were kicked.
The final score was College 16; Juniors o.
