Candidates Ordered to Report
for First Practice Tuesday; !;
Stiff Schedule Soon Will Be
Announced.

Not the slightest idea OF the posst-
bility of a winning team at Henry
Kendall college this season has Sam
McBirney, athletic director. He ad-
mitted 1t yesterday. But he is carry
ing a full-grown hunch that the
Presbyterians will be about as we'll
fixed as any Of the rest of them. He
expects to get his bearings for the
first time next Tuesday afternoon, the
date set for candidates to report.
II have Just returned from a va
cation and have not had a chance to
get line on the material that will
be in school this year." said Nc
Birney yesterday.
Captain Only Veteran.
Only one Of last years men, Arthur
wallace, who was elected captain of
the 1917 squad, is expected to be back
for this season. Several OF the local
high school team members who grad
unted last year are going to enter
Kendall and 1t is reported that some
promising men from the northeastern
high are also going to enter.
McBirney had intended not to act
as athletic director for the Presby-
terians this year and had announced
that he would not. but consented TO
serve again-this season when he was
besieged by a committee Of citizens
who are anxious to see another cham
pionship team represent the institu-
tton. In view of past performances
with McBirney lending his assistance
once more, formidable team may be
expected.
He announced that arrangement for
all the necessary equipment for train
ing has been made and the first prac-
tice will be held next Tuesday after
noon.
Schedule to Be Heavy.
Another heavy schedule is bein.
prepared for. the Presbyterlans. The
University Of Oklahoma. the Oklaho-
ma A. & NJ. college and Arkansas uni
versity are three of the strong teams
they expect to meet. So far the scneu-
ule is only in the negotiating stage

ELECTRIC LIGHTS IN SIGHT.

The question of electric lights for Duck
town has been revived by proposition
from the Tennessee Copper and Chemical
Co. and this is of so liberal nature that
there should be no question as to the
outcome.
The thing to do now is for all who want
electricity for any purpose to let their
wants be known to DR.. F. M. Kimsey at
once SO that the question of placing poles
will be settled. This will absolutely neces-
sary in figuring the initial cost OF installa-
ton and we hope that everybody interested
will act ct once
The necessity of lighting the town IS SO
urgent that anything further advanced is
superfuous.
We now have a chance to do so at
comparatively small cost, but it will take
the help of almost every citizen to accom-
plish it.
Owing to the absence of Dr. F. M. Kim
sew. chairman of the committee in charge
of the matter, prevents immediate action
inst now. But as soon as he gets home
the ball will be started rolling and if we
do not succeed it will be from lack OF
cooperation on the part of our citizens
