EVENTS OF TODAY
At the Theatres
News of Ensley

The first performance of the Ma
sonic vaudeville held last night at the
Franklin theatre under the auspices
of the Ensley lodge of Masons, was a
distinct success. The house was packed
10 capacity and every number on the
programme received spontaneous ex-
pressions of approval.
The programme was begun with a
number of old fashioned songs by the
Ensley High school double quartet,
consisting of Ernest Williams, Hugh
Craig, Glen Propst, William Suppler.
Edwin Cook, Barney Wade, Rudy Gin
gerry and Ralph Mcdowell.
Several splendid selections on the
violin were given by Miss Evelyn
Dasher. A pleasing tabloid minstrel as
construed by Tom and Dave Moxley
and Arthur Bishop made quite hit.
j. w. Beddow in monologue and Cy
Beddow in song and story received an
ovation.
A blackface speciality by Hill and
Mentzell and songs by the ever pop
ular Thomas trio completed the per
formance.
The show will be repeated tonight
at the Franklin and a special picture
by the management of the theatre will
be added.
This morning at II o'clock Bishop
James H. Mccoy will deliver the dedt-
cation sermon and conduct the dedica-
tion exercises of the Pratt City Meth
odist church of which the Rev, W. T.
McGlawn is pastor.
The dedication will close the district
conference of the Besemer district
which has been in session two days
with Presiding Elder J. f. Sturdivant
presiding.
Following the completion of the
business matters of the conference at
yesterday mornings session, DR.. A. j.
lamar of Nashville preached splendid
sermon
At the afternoon session the prin
cipal question discussed was under the
head of christian Education, and
several fine talks were made which

ing made on behalf of that institution,

| through center. His only gains
against Princeton were made from
| this formation. But Ketcham playing
loose center will probably nail this
| play at the line.
The offense of neither team doesn t
seem to have the necessary punch 10
score. as it was showed Saturday
when Yale had four downs to go five
yards and only made three yards.
Harvard didn't show any punch
against Princeton. From kick forma-
ton alone did Harvard make any
Roadway. Her plunges into Prince
tons line by Brickley were stopped
cold by Balm and Phillips, and no
doubt Yale will shift Talbot when the
Harvard beclsfield shifts and he will
be used to drive in on the second nan
| who most always has the ball on Har-
wards shift formation.
Offense Game for Harvard.
Harvard will probably play offense
against Yale as they did at Princeton,
except their ends will probably play
the smashing game to stop the Yale
interference which worked so well
against Princeton.
Unless Harvard does smash in, they
will be outclassed on offense, the
same as Princeton was. They have
developed strong Interference, which
is made strong by Ketcham coming
out of line. But it seemd a little
slow in forming, so Harvard viii
probably try to choke 1t up before
| they get started.
All in all, the winner of to-day's
game will be the team which gets the
break.
Then after the breaks 1t is a Ques-
ton of Brickley against Pumpelly or
Guernsey.
Brickley is great drop-kicker,
but the others have produced under
| fire, and it would not be a surprise
| to see them repeat against Harvard
I don't think either team will score
a touchdown unless by q f1uke Wilson
| or Mahan may get away in returning
a punt.

strongly against Princeton, for the
majority of tackles downficid were
made by the linemen. Then l don t
think Haughton ever made wiser
move than when he moved Hardwick
to end and Storer back to tackle, as
Storer was only a mediocre end, hut
demon at tackle.
Hardwick Wonder.
Hardwick is sure to do wonders,
both on defense and offense. He will
probably be the end man on the short
side on offense, and will be seen cut
ting Yale's fullback down on every
line play, as Harvard always plays
that style
On the backfield Wilson has the call
over Logan in emergency, while
Ainsworth will hold his own on Of
Tense with Bredlee, but Bradlee is far
superior on defense.
Brickley will be of more value than
Dunn on account Of his drop kicking
ability. If Brickley gives Yale any
trouble it will be from kick formation
