football warriors who will battle with the
West Point cadets at Philadelphia on
Saturday, in the crucial game of the
1914 season, held final practice on the
Academy grounds this afternoon, and
bade adieu TO the home gridiron. To-
morrow morning they will leave for the
Quaker City and the final practice will
be held behind the closed gates Of Frank
lin Field in the afternoon.
The work today consisted entirely Of
run through the signals and for
nations, special attention being given to
the new plays designed to surprise the
rival Army boys. The practice was
clothed in most absolute secrecy. None
but coaches were permitted within a
wide range of the field, and the coaches
did not even allow the time Of the
practice to be known in advance. And
when the players finally finished up,
and just before they obeyed the order
to return to their dressing rooms, they
gathered about in a group. and gave

SIS. CONVENT|ONAT At
MOBILE IN APRIL
Plans for the Annual State
Meeting Being Rapidly
Completed

Montgomery, February 21.-tSpecial) }
The plans for the thirty-first annual
convention of The Alabama Sunday
School association to be held in Mobile
Aahirl 2l, % and 9S, are nearly COM
plere and the indications now are that
THIS will be by far the strongest and
most largely attended of any sunday
school convention ever held in the
state.
General Secretary Leon c. Palmer of
Montgomery who has Just been on a
tour extending from extreme south Ala
hama to extreme north Alabama, re-
ports that the popular interest in the
approaching convention is greater than
IN any previous year. Registration at
the last state convention showed 1903
delegates from 10 denominations and
representing every county in Alabama
except Lamar, Winston Monroe and
ChoctaW. 1t is believed that this year
every county Will be represented.
The programme committee has Sc
cured as speakers some of the most
prominent Sunday school specialists of
North America, and IN addition about 40
of the Sunday school leaders from all
denominations in Alabama. Among the
out of-state speakers Will be two men
ne*er before attended any similar
8athering in this state Names of the
speakers and the full programme will
be announced later.
one of the attractive features of
this convention will be tire fact that
the music VIII be led by Prof. E. o.
Excel of Chicago generally considered
the leading convention chorus leader
Of the world today, assisted by Prof
\. w. Roper of Winona Lake. the IA
nous composer and pianist
The various railroads of the state
have granted a reduced rate of about
half price for the round trip In an
toipation of the heavy attendance ex-
pected from all parts of Alabama. the
railroads have already arranged for
three special Sunday school trains in
stead of one as last year, to carry only
delegates to the convention The pos
sible necessity for a fourth special
train is also being considered.
Full details as to arrangements for
the convention Will be given out by
the state executive committee in the
next few days.
