CADETS RoEIPED AWAY
Westminster College Proved the
Easiest Foe of the Season.

Much to the surprise of the To-
cal followers Of football, Westmin
ster Monday afternoon act
ed like a bunch of high school per
formers and allowed the husky
cadets to run through, around an
over them for 81 points in 81 min
utes of actual play. The eOllegian
seemed to be suffering from the
most acute case of stage fright
ever seen ON the academy campus
The cadets gained almost at vii
and averaged a touchdown for
every 3 is minutes of play. Only
three of the visitors had the cour-
age to attempt anything difficult
in the way of tackling. They were
McIlhenny, Van Camp and Steele,
They did what they could to stem
the tide; but could accomplish lit
tie with their line giving way at
every down.
For Wentworth the sensation
was Skinny Campbell, who was
at quarter in place of Hillix. Skin
ny ripped off plays in whirlwind
fashion with remarkable accuracy
in spite of the slippery field and
the Shiny ball. Owen, Lii, Cooke
and Chambers repeatedly broke
away for long runs, while Riley
and Littlefield cavOrted through
the line whenever they were IN
order.
At the end of the first half the
score was so to 0. On account OF
the heavy rain time was called

Keep the talk going until enough
enthusiasm is raised to get action
on the matter
Our school now has a complete

pedia, which will be a great aid
in school work. Now if the pa
irons could see their way clear to
have a new school building to re-
place the unsanitary one we have,
it would be thing to do.
T. T. Puckett, Justice of the
Peace, wrote to the State Game
Commissioner to find out if boys
could hunt rabbits, 'possum etc,
without taking out a hunters Ii
cense. He wrote and said, "In re
ply will say that Section 81 and
90 provides that it will be unlaw-
full for any person to hunt in this
state without being at the time of
such hunting in possession of a
hunters licnese. There is nothing
in the game law that defines VIII; /
a hunter would be, neither does
it say that it is not unlawful to
hunt anything but protected gam
therefore, my ruling is that any
person who goes huntig in this
state either with dog or gun,
should be in possession of hunt
er's license whether he is hunting
rabbits, 'possum or another kind
of game"

SEVERAL KINDS OF ACCENTS
Observant New Yorker Noted the DIFF.
ferent Pronunciations of Singers
in the Choir

Gin SO cosmopolitan city as this,
began a man who was on his way
from choral service at one of the
New York churches, L fancy choir
masters duties are douby hard.
'How so?" asked his companion
Who, though less observing, had sat
through the same service.
Because of the various pronuncia
tons of the members of the choir. To
day / heard distinctly four different
methods of pronounAng the word
mercy 1t took me some time to fig
ure them all out, but | happened to
know the line Lord, have mercy upon
u.s. etc. There We're some who said
'moicy,' and they seemed to be in the
majority; others sang 'murcy' with ell
the b-rr to the that they could get
in; still there was some one, a so
prano who pronounced it as if it were
spelled with double e, mercy and
some one gave it French finish and
said 'mercay' Now | don't doubt that
choir master has worked over those
people in his effort to get uniform
pronunciation, but so far, at least to
my perhaps too critical ear, he has
failed to do so.

we must say that nobody else know
better to show the young people than
they do. The night was spent with
dancing and fine supper at a. m.
Mr. brace Sorenson, east OF Elk
Horn had the plumbers install new
steam heating plant, light and water
works over his whole house. He put
in a two-horse power engine to pump
the water in big tank so it can be
forced around in different pipes to
kitchen, bath room and bed rooms.
The cost was about $1,000 and gives

"and he seemed very thankful for it;

"What business can that old beg
