Great Advocate of Total Abstinence

Dodson Times: Hon. Josephus
Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, in
an address at Sunday school rally
in the District of Columbia, made
the appended statement before
thousands of Sunday school chill
dren of Washington:
Il advise all young men to follow
the course set a few days ago by our
great Secretary of State. Secretary
Bryan has refused to eat meat from
the kings table and the wine that
was offered When he gave that
notable banquet to the diplomats OF
the several countries represented in
the United States, he had the cour-
age of his convictions and did not
serve wine to those men who had
been accustomed to having wine
with their dinners. When, in ex-
planation of his action, he told the
statesmen there assembled why he
had refrained, they stood up and
appIauded him. They were proud
to be rendered a wineless dinner by
man who had followed the die
tates Of his conscience and lived UP
to his principles from b0yhood.'

SOLDIER~T TECH
GAME SATURDAY
IS CALLED OFF

TT HE Jackets will not have a game
with Fort Mcpherson Satur-
day, the soldiers being unable
to get their men in condition by that
date.
The first real game of the season
will be the Tech Citadel game, Octo-
Der at Grant field. This is expected
to be good game, as the two teams
put up such a hard fight last year.
The practice up until that time will
be mostly defensive. Most of the
time will be spent in breaking I'D
forward passes, as Martin, the snappy
little quarterback, Is a great passer.
and Folger, the halfback, is a good
receiver. Something must be done
TO prevent these two fellows from
running the game by getting away
with few successful passes.
HERE are now 100 candidates for
the Tech team, but by the end
Of the week the squad will be
chopped. Sixty of the most promis-
ing players VIII remain on the squad
HE work on the big cement grand
stand is being completed. Work
Will probably be finished by October
l. An addition is being made to the
grandstand on the east side OF the
field. This extension stand will seat
$500 and will be used for the bleach
ers.
They are building under this stand
large number of shower baths and
lockers, which are to be used by foot
ball and baseball players. They are
greatly IN need of these baths now, as
