Marlborough, who, as secretary of mis- sions, is at the head of the Baptist work in Alabama, with headquarters in the handsome building owned by the denomination at Montgomery. that I couldn't resist the temptation to run up and be at one of the daily dinners of the workers.
 1T was amazed at the enthusiasm of the team captains. The eyes of the Bap- lists of Alabama are centered on what Birmingham is doing for Howard and if she gives the $150,000 asked for, it will be great incentive to the rest of the state to raise it's share of the needed amount to make of it a really great col lege."

quarters to condemn most of the

Americans love to partake. No
limit was set on the criticism for the

ing.
Opponents of the game based their,
arguments principally on the ground
that they we're brutal in themselves
and brutalizing in their effect botn
on the participants and spectators.
They argued that instead of deyel-
oping the players physically, the op-
poslte was the result and much WAS
said of the dangers Of the athletic
heart, the tendency toward enlarged
arteries. the danger of developing
muscles that when not used In later
life became useless tissue, and OBJ
jectlons of similar nature.
They could see no validity In the
reasons advanced by the champions
OF competitive games who declared
with the authority of experience that

games created or enhanced man o.
