Program For Saturday.
The outdoor events of the an
nual county school meet were
held on the upper athletic field
on the campus of the Universe
ty Saturday. A large number
of town and University people,
besides the expected crowd of
students and patrons Of the
schools of Lafayette county,
were present. In all, there were
about a thousand people on the
field. This was one of the best
meets tnat has ever been held in
Lafayette county. Both the peo.
pie of Oxford and the campus,
hope that the future meets viii
be as successful and pleasant rs
the one held this week. Only
one legrettable incident occurred
to malr the pleasure of tn day.
Accidentally one of the students
struck the foot of one Of the WIS.,
itors with a rock. This. of
coures, was accidental and alto
gether unintentional, and it Is to
be hoped that no hard feelings
are entertained by anyone con-
cerned.

We did not get the names of the

At 1:30 the literary contest
took place at the public school
building. This was a lively con-
test and all the contestants did
themselves proud. Little Kibbie
Mcmahon captured the prize in
the spelling contest.
At 4::30 the girls basket ball
game was called-Oxford VS..
Paris. Much plotting preceded
the game, and each side went in
to the affray to win-that was
previously fixed. 1t was seen by
many spectators who had gath
cred to see the battle pulled off
that it was going to be a hard
fought game.
Paris, in their royal blue, had
just a little the worst of the
game at the start, but the Ok
ford white waist girls realized
that they were up against hard
proposition before the last half
of the first quarter had been
played.
When the first of the second
quarter opened, the Paris girls
having recovered from the first
tilt. saw that the tide was turn.

point that was scored seemed tc
stimulate them as much as il
hacked the local girls.
Paris Gets Ahead.
Two or three scores were
made in rapid succession by Par.

the lead. The local team die
their best playing for some time

quarter had opened they had full
