Probably the most interesting game
Of the season, from local standpoint,
will be with the Henderson-Brown
Reddies on Thanksgiving Day. The
Bulldogs took the Reddies to a clean
trimming on their own yard last
Turkey Day, but it was the first time
in history. However, Hendrix had
been approaching a victory over the
Arkadelphia Methodists for several
years, and the y to . win was not
unexpected. e a~IGi~'a' -~fi .'~se

Tigers have been resumed after an
estrangement Of about five years
The Bulldogs will meet the Baptists

The Ouachitonians claimed to be me
champions of Arkansas last year, an
honor which the Bulldogs also claim

a meeting of the clubs could not be
made to decide who was who
Ouachita's team this year will be
practically the same as last, it is said.
The gridiron on Russell field is in
readiness to start the fall festivities.
The new grandstand, which is in three
sections and is portable, will be moved
nearer the center of the sidelines to
accommodate the spectators. The field
will be enclosed with a high fence,

poets for winning eleven are good.
