 Several of the professors and about twenty-five of the boys saw the Twelfth Night at the Jefferson last Saturday night. This is one of the advantages that the Howard boy has over the other college boys of the state. By being close to Birmingham he gets to see all of Shakespeares plays that come here.
 The basket ball season will begin im- mediately after Thanksgiving Prospects for a good team are now very bright. Although Towards best player of last year, Spruell. will not be with the team this year there are several good men who will try for center. Manager Berry has now in hand several challenges from different colges and r. M. c. A. teams. The Birmingham Athletic club, where the games will be pulled off has one of the finest basket ball courts in the south.
 The Howard club gave q play in the college chapel last night for the benefit of the dormitory fund. The name of the play was "The Princess Alne." From beginning to end 1t was q splendid suc- cess. It was really surprising to see how well the parts were acted, but this same crowd has shown before that East Lake has some fine talent. Great credit for the success of the play Is due to Mrs. A. D. Smith II.

HOWARD COLLEGE NOTES

 The football team will leave Thursday evening for Sheffield, where they will play the Athletic club of that place. It is said that Sheffield has a strong team. MT. Butler, an old Auburn player, is manager of the team. This will be a nice trip for the Howard boys and it is hoped that they will meet with success on the trip. The Howard team has a game arranged with Marion on Thanks giving. The Howard boys look forward to this with great anticipations, especially "the Judson reception
 In last Saturdays paper the University high school said that the Howard foot. ball team would not play them. This IS a mistake. as Manager O'IIaro has tried to get a game with them. and it seems that they are the ones who are not in elined to want to play.
 The lecture at the Methodist Episcopal church by Dr. A. o. Lane was attended by a large number of the boys last Fri- day night.
