THE OPERA A GREAT SUCCESS.
A Splendid Performance Witnessed by
a Crowded House.

The ladies of the Hospital Aid Asso-

'C'himes of Normandy" has met
But most of all are to be congratulate
ed the young mem and women, the boys
and girls, who have worked so ardUously
these past two weeks and who so admir-
ably acquitted themselves last night.

A GREAT GAME
OF BALL TODAY
--------------
To Be Played Here for State
Championship.
A. & M. AND OAK RIDGE
BOTH ELEyENS ARE IN FINE
FORM.
GAME CALLED AT $50 AT FAIR GR0U Ds
Two Of the A. & Ms Best Men Are Lame and
Cannot Play. Oak Ridge, Fearing Injury
to Its Men, Has Not Played a
Game in Week.

Some fast ball will be played at the
Fair Grounds this afternoon.
Both the A and NJ College team and
the Oak Ridge team are in fine form, and
the relative strength of the two seems ITO
he about equal.
The men on the A. and NJ. eleven are
as a rule big heavy fellows, all acquaint-
ed with the game 1t is true that two
of the agricultutrists' best players
Caserly ard Paschal-are hurt and will
not be an today's game, but their places
have been supplied with pretty good sub
stitutes, and good steady ball will be
played.
Paschal is the A. and Ms. heavy CEN
tire rush and his lameness will make the
line much less effective in aggressive
work, if indeed it does not weaken it as
q defense. CaseFly is the fastest runner
ON the team.
The line up of the A. and NJ. boys
will be as follows: Ramsay, l.. e.. Tttr-
ner, u. T., Bowdon, l.. e., Mcneil, c.,
Bum, r. e., Newton, II. r., Mcl<innon,
r. E., Morson, Q. b., Sadler, X. II. D.,
Person. L. b., Lowgee, L. Fl. B. Substi-
tutes-Caserly, Nichols, Whitley. Parker,
and Welch.
A special dispatch last night from Oak
Ridge has this to say of the team from
that institutions:
1.-THE Oak Ridge football team is about
in trim for the Thanksgiving game.
They have undergone some very hard
training, and are in fairly good condi-
ton. For fear of injuries, they have
not been allowed to play a practice game
since last Wednesday, hut have been
thoroughly drubbed in signal practice.
They are not oyer-confdent, but want
TO win, as this game determines the State
championship of schools and colleges Tex
cept the University. Oak Ridge claimed
this championship last year, and will be
slow to release it. They will play hard
to keep it with her.
1.-THE line up will be as follows: Kirk
patrick, c.; Hester. r. G.: Thomas, X.
r.: Douthtridge or Tomlinson, r. E.;
Hamer or Ross, l.. g.: Wright or Me
Clare. L. t. #. Rennett, IL. E.;sI1 How
ard, III. B.; West, Q. B.; Joyner Capt.,
r. ii. b.; and j. T. Bennett, II. b. The
Oak Ridge team has played but two
games this year Several of the teams
with which she had games scheduled
wired them off. But our record is a
very good one, X. y. u, 10; " H. VI
Davidson, 2; o. r., 6. Both of these
games were clean-no smuggling or
wrangling. i feel that in behalf of the
Oak Ridge team. the people may expect
nothing but clean, manly football Thurs
day, and we are sure orr opponents, the
A. and NJ team, will play the same
kind
The game will be called at 3:30 O'Clock
at the Fair Grounds. seats will be pro-
yided for the ladies.
The people of Raleigh should support
these games and it would not be many
years before each Thanksgiving would
bring a great intercollegiate game here.

show your gratitude to God for his
many and wonderful mercies to his peo-
pie by giving of your goods to the or

behalf of the orphanage at Thomasville,

have protited much under his training.
Their friends here are hoping they may
get pull out the championship again.
AT any rate North Carolina promises
to give the team that wrests from it
the championship of the South one of
the hardest fights ever experienced. In
fact, every indication points TO the men
of that team again winning the title, I'M
less they grow oyer-contident.
The team is now stronger in every
individual position than it was last year,
except quarterback. All but one of the
fast backs and heavy linemen have re-
turned, and the place OF this missing
one has been filled by man who has
experience. weight and all the other
requisites of the game. SO the quarter
backs place is the only one to give trout
bic to the captain and trainer. 1t is
said that this important position has
been filled by a man who, though With
out the experience eff Rogers. is a man
from whom they hope much. He is
said TO have all the requisites but ex-
perience, and not altogether lacking in
that quality.
Sewanee stood second to North Car
DINA in the South last year, and from
the excellent form shown by that elev-
en- when it met Georgia and the Techs
in Atlanta recently. it might be said
that this year it will not be found SO
very far behind the champion team, if
it does not win that title.
Behind the line there are three as
good men as are to be found behind the
line Of any team in the South. Seibles,
the captain. is fast and sure, and has
been trained TO follow his interference
admirably. Fitzpatrick has the same
requisites. Both go with a snap and
energy that carry them a good dis
tance before their opponents have time
to realize what they are doing. Then
there is Simkins-little, wiry, quick, bat
tering ram Simkinsa player whose
name is Synonymous with gain-making.
He is the hard bucker who always hits
the line for a gain And he kicks well.
too.
TO support this set Of backs is an
They all go into a game with energy.
with determination, and they do the kind
of work that wins.
On the North Carolina team the fast
backs are able to sprint down the field
as fast as when they ran over Georgia
last year. The line Is as impregnable
as ever There was no individual play
ing, and the whole work indicates that
if not overturned the men will be able
TO do as We'll. ii not better. than they
did last season.
Here's to the White and the Blue,
may you bring the championship back
with y0u.

TYPHOID AT GREENSBORO.
Directors Of the Normal College Now
Investigating It.

DIR. r. H. Lewis left yesterday for
Greensboro, being called back there 10
appear before the directors of the Nor-
NAL College in regard to the "ecent out
break Of typhoid and its caase. The
board of directors are now in session
investigating the matter.
DR.. Albert Anderson. of Wilson, to
whom, as State Bacteriologist. two sam
pies of the city water from Greensboro
were sent for examination, has finished
his analysis and forwarded his report.
In one sample the Wilson News says
he found 176 colonies to the cubic cent?
metre. and in the other ~ COLONIES in
the same quantity, but all these bactclia
were of benign growth, and in neither
sample were typhoid fever germs found.
These samples were taken one quar-
ter of mile from the city limits, north
west of the city, North Buffalo creek,
and the analysis Of DR.. Anderson shows
the water to be good Mt that point nea
