indications of that next year will

Ter the league to consist Of more
clubs this year than it contained
last year. but there seems to be a
sentiment in favor of sticking to the
lumber the league had in the season
just closed 1t has been headed
that some of the clubs of the old
league may be dropped. Those that
gave trouble this year in being in
subordinate on several occasions.
The rules we're not strickly enforced

K clear that in the future every club

league hopes to bring more good

FISK TACKLES A. G. M. COLLEGE
SATURDAY..

Fisk faces Saturday in Alabama
the A. and M. College, one of the
strongest opponents of the season.
A. and M. had a fine record last
year loosing to Fisk Only small
store. This year she has most of
last years squard with the addition
of some very good material.
In weight A. and M. compares very
favorably with Fisk, in fact Fisk
will be outweighed in the line.
Fisk's only game no far this season
with Franklin Y NJ. c. A. showed
that she will have to improve won
6erfully to win most of her games.
Last Saturday was an open date,
consequently the much needed prdc-
tice wah wanting.
This week has been continuous
program of hard work in the after
noon, followed by long signal prac-
tice in the gymnasium. The line up
for Fisk has not been quite decided
There is goodly fight on for several
of the line pohitions but it is more
then likely that Fisk will start the
game with the same line up as
| against Franklin
At any rate patrons of the game
are assured of seeing a Globe con
test with the odds rather in favor

Our contention is that where laws

that a portion of every coach occu-

improve every condition that enables

A striking feature Of the convention
just closed was the brotheTinpss that
was exhibited on the part Of all. The
representatives seemed to be imbihed
with the determination to cooperate
with every move that is for the bet

it was apparent that each minister
