Cadets Not Satisfied.

On their return to Little Rock the A. M. A. team claimed that the umpire, Prof. l.. C. Perry of Hen drix gave them the worst of the decisions and the local victory was not fairly won.
 To the Gazette Prof R. (. Hall, superintendent of the academy, who also witnessed the game, said that the cadet team would not be satisfied unless 1t gets another game with Hendrix this season, and that unless Hendrix agrees to play again athletic relations between the two schools will be of. Through the Gazette he desires to formally challenge the HendrlX team, the game to be played on neutral ground, and he says that he IS willing to go to the expense |ot bringing recognized football officials to ofiiciate ill the game.

Dr. Thomas Transferred.

At the Little Rock conference of last week Dr. Thomas was trans ferred by Bishop James Atkins to the North Mississippi conference, where it is stated he will be put in charge of the finest church in the state. This action was taken as a result of differences which arose in the conference between Dr. Thomas and Rev. J. s. Hawkins, which divided the conference into two factions. Rev. Hawkins was prac- tically retired from the ministry by the bishop. It is announced that Dr. Thomas will accept the transfer, putting aside his own de sires for the sake of harmony in the church. This will create va cancv in the position which Dr.. Thomas has been holding, and comes as a hard blow to the two Methodist colleges, when the great work of Dr. Thomas i'll their inter ests has seemingly just begun.
 President s. Anderson, Capt. w.. w. Martin and Rev. F. $. H. Johnson left Tuesday for Corlnth, where the North Mississippi con- ference is i'll session, and will bring strong pressure upon Bishop E. R. Hendrix to make such arrange ments as will enable Dr. Thomas to continue in his work for the two colleges.

HENDRIX STATE CHAMPIONS
Football Team Defeated A. M.
 A. Saturday.
victorious Cadets are Beaten by Local Team, to 2, in the Final Game
 of the Season.

Tn a hotly contested football came here Saturday Hendrix Col leqe defeated the hitherto victor ions A. M. A. team of Little Rock, ( to ?. and thereby lays claim to the amateur championship of the state. The victory was clean cut and decisive, and though the vis- itors are claiming an unfair deal, no one versed in football could see any ground for their contentious.
 Up 10 Saturday the A. M. A. team had not been defeated this season, and only last Thursday they laid it over the Ouachita Col lege team by the overwhelming score of 71 to o. They had chal- lenped the U. of A. team, but this challenge was not accepted. Until Saturday, therefore, they claimed the state championship, but the victory of Hendrix puts that team in first place.
 The Hendrix team has shown wonderful development in short time. In its first game this season Hendrix was defeated overwhelm- ingly, but the members of the team took their defeat gracefully and resolved to strengthen and improve, and the result of Saturdays game shows the success that has attend ed their efforts. Much of the credit for Hendrix improvement IS due Prof. Russell, who has given the team most efficient coaching.
 The features of the game were the touchdown by Martin and the excellent tackling of the home players. In the first half Hendrix kicked to A. M. A., and after if teen minutes of exciting scrlmmag- ing the cadets made safety on Coyle's punt, the ball being kicked across the goal by one of the Hen drix players. Hendrix kicked otf from her 25-yard line and A. M. A. secured the ball. On an at tempted block quarterback kick by A. M. A., Martin of Hendrix got the ball and sprinted fifty yards for touchdown. Lucas kicked the goal. The first half ended with the ball on the cadets forty yard line.
 In the second half A. M. A. kicked to Hendrix and the local players gradually worked their way toward A. M. A. $ goal, but skill ful bunting by the cadets prevent ed further scoring. At no time was either goal seriously threatened. The repeated center plays of the cadets failed to give them any ad- vantage. The second half ended with the ball on the cadets forty yard line in possession of Hendrix. The lineup is as follows:
