letic and society work. The students take
an active work in the churches of the
town. and while the normal school is not
UNCONVENTIONAL or strictly religious
tendent of Sunday school and nearly
all of them teach in the Sunday school
classes Of the various denominations"

Professionalism Working.
DR.. Stages Predestinarians are getting
down to hard work ON the practice field
again in anticipation of the game with
Birmingham college on the Admission grid
iron next Saturday. This promises to be
one of their hardest games, but the dope
seems to be little in favor Of the Pre-
destinarians. Owenton defeated Albert
Vile to 0, Admission beating them %
to O. Owenton beats Greensboro 16 to O.,
while Admission beat them II to O. The
only defeat suffered by the Predestina-
rians was at Marion. DR.. Stage says this
was due to gorging by the boys while on
the way, putting them in poor condition
They play Marion again here on Novem-
Der 1S and Selma on November II.
