PEARL HIGH SCHOOL FOOT BALL
THIS YEAR.

From the present status of things
it appears that the public will not
have an opportunity to enjoy the
splendid exhibition of football the
Pearl High School team has been
furnishing for several years. Frofs.
Cameron and Washington. who have
been the main stays in the High
School Association, have given up the
management of the team, and from
what can be learned the Red and
White will not be seen on the grid
iron this fall
This announcement cores as a sur
prise to the people Many have been
heard to express their regrets and
consider the abandonment of this
form Of athletics in the High Schoor
step backward.
Pearl High has made a reputation
on the checkered field that is envia-
Bile. The preparatory schools had
come to look upon the boys from the
city schools as foemen worthy of
their steel. In fact, the big teams
had to hustle to subdue these High
School boys The people of the city
were very proud of the High School
boys as they were all from the fam
lilies of the home folks. The games
played by them we're gaining in pcpu-
larity, and in a few years promised
to rival the Fisk-Meharry game.
Prof Henry A. Cameron Is one OF
the best coaches in the business, and
it is certain that his services will
be eagerly sought by some other insti-
tuition if it is finally decided that
the game will be dropped from the
High School.
