BASKET BALL
Academy City Champions.

Before a crowd of about $50 howl
ing basket ball fans, the Penn Acad-
envy basket ball tossers won the city
championship title last evening at
the Penn gym by defeating the High
School aggregation by the score of
u to 26. The largest crowd that ever
witnessed basket ball game in Os-
kaloosa attended and they received
full value for their money. The en-
thusiasm of the admirers of both
,cams was at fever heat.
Griffith Wright, who has been try.
ing for the left guard position on the
Academy team, put up the finest eX-
hibition of guarding that has been
seen on the local floors. He covered
Capt. Cartwright, of the high school
team, who stayed under the basket
most of the time, and held him to four
field goals. Much was expected OF
Cartwright as pOint-maker and
the rest of the team fed him the ball
all of the time, but it was useless, as
Wright was always there. Ii it had
not been for the excellent guarding
of Wright, the score would in all pro.
liability have been different, as Garth.
wright is shark when it comes to
shooting field goals. Don Russell
played the guard position for the high
school, also put up a brilliant game,
He was in the mix at all times
and held McFerran to five field goals,
while he himself secured four. Ed
Dodds played all around Anderson at
the center position and tossed five
baskets from the field. Roberts, the
maroon and whites new forward, put
up a good game. Manager Willard, of
the Academy, demonstrated the fact
last evening that he can come back.
He has been having considerable
tough luch this season in shooting
baskets, but last evening he returned
to his old-time form and secured eight
field goals and four foul goals. He
was in the mix" fighting hard all of
the time and on one occasion he shot
a basket from the center of field that
brought down much applause. During
the last few minutes of play, Whita.
ker was substituted for McFerran
and McClelland for Wright, but they
did not have much time to show their
ability. The team work of the Acad'
envy was one of the features of the
game.

Friends Church.

In the absence of Rev. Kelsey,
Prof. Kelsey filed the pulpit at Penn
college chapel last Sunday. The
theme for the morning was" Service"
the foundation for which was taken
from Mark 10th chapter, ADD and 44th
verses. James and John were in er
rOr in that they thought the kingdom
to be an earthly one and because they
were selfish. The first was OF the
mind, the second of the heart. Men
ought to be ambitious but their am
billions should lead them to gain
things with which they can help hui
manity. An ambitious man can be a
power if properly directed. Men are
hOnored for their services to human
ity. Christ plainly teaches that if
there is TO be prominence in the king
dom it is to be gained by service.
There never was time in the history
of the world when opportunities for
service were so plentiful as at the
present. AS a special musical num-
Der Prof. Hockett sang very beau
tiful solo. The evening meeting was
