 Game

Oxford, October 29.-(Special.)-The Uni- versity of Mississippi eieven swamped Hendrix college on local grounds today by a score of 32 to 2. Hendrix gave away and was at Ole Miss mercy. The distinct outstanding feature of the entire game was the end runs of Mississippi's star halfback, Pete Dear. He made several 25-yard gains in a most spectacular man. ner. Dawson was not far behind Dear in this department. Besides these, Mo Call and Buntin played well for Ole Miss. The whole Mississippi team played git-edge ball.
 The strongest feature in the Hendrix defense was their line. During the first part of the game it was impregnable. but later gave way
 The first touchdown was made by Hen drix in the first quarter after which they kicked goal.
 In the second quarter, Mccall made a touchdown and Mississippi kicked goal, tieing the score Two more touchdowns were made by Mccall. The other two were made by Buntin and Dear Each time except once after the first touch- down, Ole Miss failed to kick goal. Ole Miss played under disadvantages. Cap- tain Harris.

 FOOTBALL INCREASES
Important Games Scattered Over Entire South Georgia-Auburn and Vandy- Tennessee to Feature Programme

Atlanta, October 29--Interest in south-
 e-n football tomorrow turns largely to
 three contests-Georgia vs. Auburn. Van vs. North Carolina. An intersectional flavor will be given the sport in the meet ing of Washington and Lee with Indiana at Indianapolis.
 The showing of Georgia against vir- ginia last Saturday has raised the stock of the Red and Black. Reports from Athens say the same lineup which faced Virginia in the second half of last week s game will be started against Auburn. tured the second half of the Virginia game will be in that position. while Holtzen- dorff will be held in reserve.
 Auburn until last Saturday did not show impressive form. although continuing to keep its goal line uncrossed The show l Ing of the Plainsmen against the Mis- sissippi Aggies. however. was such as to cause the belief that either Georgia or Auburn is likely to win.

WHITES URGED TO ATTEND NEGRO FAIR
 NOW IN PROGRESS
,o the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald Attendance of whites at the co1ored fair at Tidewater park Is commendable for several reasons. among which may be named that of the encoura cement of thoe people in so worthy an under taking.
 They have brought together clements that are, in some respects, surprising. The visitor will be impressed by the fancy and needle work, the artistic dis play, and by the results of the culi- nary department-the taste and deft- ness displayed are remarkable.
 The efforts of the schools in vieing with each other in the demonstration of school work are most encouraging and would dissolve the doubts of the most pessimistic concerning the future of the colored race.
 I was particularly impressed by the display made by Tuggle institute, over which presides one of the worthiest men of the race in the south-Prof. Oscar w. Adams.
 The arrangement in exhibit hall is ex- cellent and the utmost order prevails throughout the grounds.
 Albert Johnston, kinsman of Book CT T. Washington. and a graduate of Tuskegee is in charge, with the preser- walton of order the best.
 The stock display is deficient. though it must be remembered that this is the beginning. The agricultural display will have to be improved with the increas- ing popularity of the fair.
 There was much encouragement in the remark made by an old colored woman in her enthusiastic admiration: T just tell you, the white folks can't beat itw With spirit like this anil mating these people. we shall have more s6ciAl order. increased self-re- spect. and less vice and crime This suggests the duty of all good citizens to encourage this struggling race in whose efforts to advance and improve all should feel interested. 1t is altogether worthy of mention that several have most laudab1y con- tributed to the success of the fair by enabling the colored people to make special demonstrations. Among those may be named the Batterton Coffee company, which makes an unlimited |contribution of It's goods. in order to have q display of the virtue of their |co1Eeos.

 tests
 Washington and Lee is expected to give Southern observers a line on the comparative strength of western and southern teams. Indiana has shown it. self to be strong this year and Wash it's games, although last Saturday West Virginia scored touchdown on the Lexington team. The West Virginia team, however, was withdrawn from eht field with two minutes to play, for feiting the game to Washington and Lee by To score.
 The Alabama -Sewanee game at Bir- mingham should furnsh good sport. Sewanee hit a snag at Lexington, Ky, last Saturday when Kentucky State held them to a tie, while Alabama had q rather close contest with Tulane. Just what is to be expected tomorrow is
 hard to predict.
 Most of the other large southern teams have scheduled comparatively
 minor games. Virginia meets V. M. l. at charlottesville Florida plays Southern college at Gainesville, Fla. The South Caro1ina-Davidson game at Columbia and the Clemson Citadel game at Charleston have beeen can celed.
 Other games scheduled are Louis jana States vs Mississippi Aggies, at Baton Rouge, La; Arkansas vs. St
 Louis. at St. Louis; Roanoke vs. Gal laudet. at Lynchburg. Va. Kentucky State vs Cincinnati, at Lexington, Ky; Southwestern Louisiana vs. Louisiana College, at Lafayette La. Texas Aggies vs. Haskell Indians, at Dallas: Texas vs. Southwestern, at Austin, Howard vs. Mercer, at Macon, Ga.

ity. also has booth with their goods on display. Many of the objects displayed at the
 colored fair are the results of the labor of boys and girls and of porters who
 have wrought during the snatches of
 time when off duty as servants
 The display throughout is creditable as an infant undertaking. and our best
 people owe it to themselves to visit the colored fair and see what the race is doing. R F. RILEY. Birmingham. October 2s. 1915.

THE YALE ATHLETIC. COMMITTEE REFUSES
 TOREVERSE DECISION
Five Athletes Cannot Play Again Despite Request of Harvard and
 Princeton

New Haven, Conn.,, October 29.-Yale will not reinstate the five athletes who recently withdrew from intercollegiate competition so long as the Yale rule concerning playing so-called summer baseball stands in it's present form This was made plain tonight by Prof Robert N Corwin, chairman of the Yale athletic committee. who made public a letter he had written to Dean Le Bar on R. Briggs of Harvard
 Both Harvard and Princeton had written to Professor Corwin explain ing the desire of the undergraduates of those universities that the athletes be allowed to rejoin their teams.
 '1 wish that 1t were possible for us to acccde to Harvard's request, but do not see how this can be done with out serious harm to the cause for which both Harvard and Yale men are working" said the letter.
 Professor Corwin expressed the hope that the question of whether the sum- mer baseball rule is fair or reasonable might be discussed soon at joint meeting of representatives of Harvard Princeton and Yale.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Fine Day at "Fishing Creek

Fine Day at F1Snlng Creek Cnurcn To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 The writer desires to express through your columns thanks and congratula- tions to the good people of Seddon and Riverside, Ala, for a royal good time, and the whole-hearted manner in which they dispensed hospitality and good will on last Sunday at a song and church service at Fishing Creek church, the oldest Methodist church perhaps in Alabama, at Seddon.
 The day was given over to the sing ing of the old songs. largely. The Rev. Joshua Warren, an aged superanuated minister, preached splendid sermon and was enjoyed by all present, after which a delightful lunch was served by the ladies under the trees near the church.
 It would be difficult to express in mere words the delight, satisfaction and spiritual uplift enjoyed by all those present. The services harmonized with the surroundings The aee-old churcl with it's little cemetery and beautiful oaks surrounded by and enveloped at 1t is by so many, many holy, sacred tender memories of other years

Many of the old citizens were present, among them N. B. Sprad- ley, one of the best known and loved men of St. Clair county. The day will long be remembered by those present The sweet, gracious and informal hos pitality of the ladies was especially noted and will form one and perhaps the sweetest memories of the day. 4 perfect day added greatly to the en joyment.

Brickley Eligible

Hartford, Conn.,, October 29.-The ad- visory athletic council of Trinity col lege tonight sent letter to New York university in answer to it's protest against the playing of George Brick : ley. former member of the Phila- delphia Americans. saying that under the rules governing eligibility in ath- letics at Trinity, Brickley is eligible to play and will be member of the team that meets New York university November 2.
 The council declares that it does not subscribe to the summer ball'' rule because 1t discriminates between methods of student support which on their face are equally lawful, honest and honorable. and. secondly. because the rule is sure to be evaded and a 'confonement of evasion is in the na- ture of things all but inevitable"

Presbyterian Doctrine

TO the Edftor or The Age-Herald.
 Judging from the comments in the press, which are brought about by the recent differences of opinion of the pastor of the South Highlands Presbyterian church and some of it's members, there seems to be an impression that the South ern Presbyterian church as a body is ultra conservative and nonprogressive in
 it's doctrines and practices. This I feel is due to lack of proper information by those who are thus commenting
 For believe that an investigation by the fair-minded would show it not only not so but among the most conservatively progressive of the important religious or ganizations in the country, not willing, 1t is true, to be tossed to and fro and car ried about with every wind of doctrine, ' but rather to Prove all things; hold fast that which is good" The fact Is, as am informed, it has the latest doctrinal de- liverance of any church, which is the Summary of Doctrine Held by the (southern) Presbyterian church. adopted by it's general assembly in Atlanta in 1913, and I believe that careful reading of this deliverance will convince the reason- able that it is not only the latest of any, but a very simple and progressive one. That your readers may be informed on the great and oft question subject of predes- tination which seems to have been one of the difficulties with the beloved pastor of the South Highlands Presbyterian church, I further beg to quote the fol- lowing short paragraphs from the above mentioned deliverance, viz:
 I'll. Gods Purpose: The eternal pur- pose of God includes all events; 1t is holy and wise. and does not deprive man of freedom nor make God the author of sin
 ''vI.--Salvation: God. who Is rich in mercy. 90 loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to be the Savior of sinners. The salvation thus provided is freely offered 10 all men. and Is sufficient for all, but becomes efficacious only in those who believe in Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
 "vII.-Election: Before the foundation of the world. God the Father chose unto Himself in Christ people whom He gave to His Son, that they should be holy and without blame before Him in love. Those who come to years of discretion receive this salvation only through faith in Christ, being regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Those who die in infancy, and others who are incapable of exercising choice, are regenerated and saved by Christ through the Spirit. who works when and where and how He pleases We thus declare that Gods electing grace has peopled heaven with . multitude that no man can number. and has never sent ono soul to hell.
 Some may say that the confession of faith reads differently. but they are to be reminded that Presbyterian ministers arc not required to subscribe to the verb are but to the system of doctrine taught by 1t. Scholars agree that the King James version of the Bible is a master piece of literature, yet being translated into the fdiom of the time much oS It's verbage is not 70 eastly understood by the reader of today; this. however. does

religious organizations of the United States none are more conservatively pro- gressive than the Southern Presbyterian church, which on account of the splendid intelligent equipment of it's leaders will be increasingly more so Trusting that you will give this space to meet any mis- conceptions that may arise out of the most unfortunate matter above referred to, I am. most sincerely.
