Oxford High School VS..
Holly Springs High School

Friday, September "a, the OK
ford football team played its
first game of the season, against
Holly Springs. The result was
a complete victory for the Oxford
boys. Holly Springs had two
good coaches that had been work
ing with them and 20 they were
confident of victory but they had
not counted on the fighting blood
in our men. The first touch
down was made by Edward
Moore on a forward pass. 1t was
a pretty run of about thirty
yards. Roy McElvany then kick
ed goal. The next score was
made by s'iittle Red Rushing"
and although the H. s. boys
knew il was coming they could
not stop that line plunge. Nc
Elvany again kicked goal. The
next touchdown was made by
Rodney Sisk on and end run and
as we already had enough Nc
Elvany failed to kick goal. The
score was 20 to O. All the boys
played fine ball and we think we
shall have as good team as any
in the state.
The line up was as follows:
Baggett, center; Rushing, left
guard; Wright, right guard;
Cook, left tackle; Lawhorn, right
tackle; Sisk, left end; Moore,
right end; Falkner, quarter back
McElvany, full back: Kimmons,

Boarding Clubs.

In keeping with the many diff
ferent moves for the progress and
general welfare of the university
students so characteristic of the
past scholastic year is the splen-
did boarding system, now in its
second year Of existence. The
Gordon Hall Boarding Club and
the Co-Operative Boarding Club,
both under student management
exclusively, have not only given
better service with less cost than
formerly, but have improved upon
their own plans after a years ex-
perience. The board deposit re-
quired for the first six weeks of
school was in each club approxi-
mately 81 less than was required
at this time last year: more efici-
ent servents have been employed
and cooking utensils of the best
material have been secured.
The officers in each club are
chosen by popular vote of those
who take their meals in the two
dining halls. The Gordon Hall
Club, which is now furnishing
meals for $50 students, the ut
most seating capacity of the din
ing hall, is under the direction of
Mrs. Cora Gideon, matron, and
Erwin c. Blackstone, secretary,
assisted by a board of control.
Toe much praise cannot be given
the efficient Mrs. Gideon, who is
beginning her seventh year as
matron of Gordon Hall, and
Blackstone, the young secretary,
who is doing such a great work

The Cooperative Club is run
on much smaller basis, due to
lack of room. Its entire seating
capacity, 81, however, Is filled.
At the head Of this club is Mr..

a relative of Governor-eIect

whereby those men who desire

Gorillas AT Large

Hickory, Miss, Sept. 25.-
Wednesday morning Town Mar

from a carnival company at

their capture, as they we're very
valuable animals. The writer
told the marshal to warn the
populaee that the gorillas were
very fierce and it would not do
for any one to come in contact
with them.
The letter was considered a
joke by most every one who
read it. This morning, however,
a young man named Whitman,
who lives about two miles from
town, came in and told a wonder
ful tale. He was out hunting and
heard a peculiar noise. and at a
distant saw an animal eating
muscadines. The animal. he
said, looked ike a human. only

minutes and then gathered

When he shot, he said, the ami

wild screams, which was an

ran all the way out Of the swamp
and was badly frightened. and
while telling his tale he was COM
pletely out Of breath.
Much excitement prevailed
after the young man told his tale.
Some still believe it is a joke
and that some one is trying to
keep the squirrel hunters away
from the swamp.
The greatest effect is on the
olacS popuIaee, for there is hard

that | was the first man in the
county to make up a neighbor-

order house. Though we got
bit every once in while, we got
the habit Of sending off for our

Gradually our merchants Iess-
ened their stock of goods for lack
Of patronage. Finally we began
to realize that when we needed
a bolt quickly for a machine, or
clothing for sickness and death.
We had to wait and send away
for it which wasn't pleasant. One

ciated, and men of less energy
moved in Gradually our town
has gone down; our business
houses are 'tacky' in appearance,
