We're going to do to the Pelieans that
afternoon. But to boast is one thing,
and to carry out a boast another, as
the Maroons quickly discovered, and
they used all the arguments and legit-
innate tricks they possess to save them
selves from defeat, but without avail,
their colors being lowered by the
very team they had held SO lightly.
Ivens did the twirling for Persimmon-
vile, with the doughty little Joubert
as his backstop, and Yentzen was sent
in for the Pelicans. with Guillot doing
the receiving. Plaquemine had the
initial try and the first two batters up
were easy outs, but the next three
cracked out singles and secured a run.
The birds did nothing for four innings,
but opened things up in the fifth, when
Schonberg was bit and given his base:
Landry landed for two sacks: Guillot
singled, scoring the two runners, stole
second and went third on wild throw:
Joe Variant struck out; Yentzen sac
rificed and went safe; Ivens became
nervous and pitched wild, allowing
Gu1llot to score and Yentzen to take
second; Prejean sacrificed, sending
tsIsube'' to third, but Mike Variant
was handed three and the side retired.
The IberVillians tied the score in the
sixth on an error, q tW0-sacker, a ac-
rifce and a single, and as the birds
failed to do anything in their half the
NJ aroons proposed to call the game
tie and suspend play, contending th at
the grounds were too wet to continue,
although the drizz1e had ceased and
the diamond was not in any worse
condition then than at the end Of the
fifth inning. This proposition didn't

church at O'Clock Sunday afternoon ad-
dressed the Y. NJ. {. A. on the subject
college Education as 4 Pre- paration fer
Life" The Y. NJ. G. A. of America are
observing week of prayer and extra
meetings are being held all over the
country. So the Colby organization has
arranged for several extra meetings this
week. The first one was held Sunday af-
tenuon. A short song service was held
after which President White offered
prayer. Then Charles C. Dwyer as vice
president of the local Y. NJ. G. A. intro
duced Rev. T.. l.. Marsh as the speaker
for the afternoon.
Il want You to forget that I am a min
lister and think of me as only a man and
one of you" He said that college life
was a life of irresponsibility, that it was
life of deep intellectually. and that it
was a life Of unanimousness. He said
that real life was quite the reverse of
this. That 1t was one OF conflict. one OF
responsibility and one where 1T seemed
that things were at cross purposes. He
then showed how although college life
and real life were directly opposed, the
former prepared one for the latter by de-

boys that they would succeed ii they
made the right use Of their time. If they
did not despise the uneducated and would
cultivate mental length. intellectual depth
and spiritual breadth. His talk was one
of the best that has been heard in the
college chapel for long time. A good
number of the boys attended the meeting
and rrofited by the words so ably spoken.

THE ROBBINS BUILDING.
Some Of the Plans for Renovating the
Place.

The Robbins building recently bought
by the city will probably not be in
readiness for use as an armory for
several weeks and in the meantime
Co. a will hold no drills. The commit
tee appointed by the city government
together with Mayor Knight and Capt
Mckenna, has inspected the building
for the purpose of determining what
changes are necessary. Rough plans
hay, been outlined and as soon as pos
sihic these will be perfected and opc"-
ations begun. There is a large amount
OF machinery in the building now and
tao removal Of this il an important
item toward fitting the place for the
use Of Co A. The machinery will be
sold at auction on Nov. 81.
The question of rennvating the build
ing suggests two pr"positions-fitti
it for an armory only, or making it
into a hall which will serve not only as
an armory but as a place for fairs, en-
tertainmcnts and athletics. The first
proposition Of course calls for the cx-
penditure Of much less money than the
will be carried out this year. although
improved sooner or later.
The remodelling. rs now proposed
will consist of providing offices. in the
east end Of the building ON the street
floor, which viii leave 4 larger part of
this floor free. converting the engine
room into Il lockcr-room and making
general improvements. The second
floor will be fitted as a drill room, and
an indoor range will be installed. The
garnet. if used at all, will be store
room. ...
If the hall is converted into q place
for am,isemcntS. the garnet floor will
be removed and a balcony installed.
There is a general feeling among the
members Of the city government that
Will" the city needs a building to take
the pac" of the Coliseum, it will be
advisable not to carry ont the more
expensive proposition this year. Some
people are already kicking because the
city has bought the building. but this
matters little for if the trade Lad not
been made there would have been
many NOR. kicker.,
