MEETING OF ANNUAL CONFER.
ENCE AT SHELBYViLLE OCT.
ATTRACTS ATTENTION.
Or. CHERRYs SECOND YEAR
Expected That Eloquent Pastor OF the
First Methodist Church viii be
Returned for Another Year--Mt
Pleasant to Have New Pastor.

Already the interest of Methodists
in this section is .centered in the com
ing session of the Tennessee annual
conference which will meet a little
more than six weeks from now at the
Methodist church at Shelbyyille The
conference will meet a week earlier
than originally planned, having been
changed from Oct. Ii to Oct. G.
Rev. J. w. Cherry, pastor of the
First Methodist church, is serving his
second year in this charge since he
was returned to the chuHh Howev.
or, he served the charge formedly far
iour years so as matter of fact he
IS rounding out the sixth year of his
service; That he will be returned for
next year is gendrally expected. He
is recognized as one of the ablest
preachers in the conference and Is al
ways sought after, He seldom remains
al any charge less than the full four
Gears allowed.
There will be a change in South Co
lumbia due to the fact that DR.. r. M
Chenault, the pastor of the church
there, has rounded out the full four
years allowed under the law OF the
church, except in certain contingen-
cies. During the four years that he
las served as pastor of the South Co
llmbia church progress has been
made in all lines.
This year also ends the four year
pastorate OF Rev. H. M. Jarvis at Mt
Pleasant. The people of that charge
are almost unit in regret that they
must make change. DR.. Jarvis is
popular with all the denominations
and has done fine work there.
There are nearly a dozen Methodist
pastorates in the county and while
Cnly three or four have served four
years there is always uncertainty
about the changes that will be made
and for that reason every charge is
speculating on its probable pastor for
the next year. 'eH
The roads being good and Shelby
vile being close to Columbia 1t is
probable that large number of Meth
odists from here will visit the confer
ence and especially on Sunday to hear
The sermon of Bishop Atkins.

CLAIMS RINGERS IA VE
 BEEN HIRED FOR GAME
Milford Football Followers Wondering Whether Thanks giving Day Will See Battle For Town
 Championship Or Not

Milford. Nov. 19-Because Mana ger l.. E. Realf of the Paddock A. c. football eleven charges that the Mill ford A. c. team has three Fingers" from the Milford school team and Manager Adrian Maher of the Mill ford team charges that the Paddocks has two ringers" from the Devons, the championship contest between the two teams for Thanksgiving Day has developed into quite a contro- versy.
 Banager Realf says Powell, Lucas and Scott of the Milford school have been signed up for the Milfords, while Manager Maher says Crapson, who plays end for the Devons and who played one game with the Pad docks this season, as well as another up.
 Interest in the contest is at a high pitch and the followers of both or ganizations are clamoring for the clash, but unless the Milford man. agement uses only local men who have played on the team all during the season, Manager Realf states tha t he will not allow his men to enter the game. In supporting his argu- ment Manager Realf says that his organization is ready and willing to spend $500 for bringing in outside players, but this would not be show ing good sportsmanship and as the game is to be played for town hopOrS 1t is only fair to the fans and the teams as well that local men be used in deciding the championship.

MILFORD PLAYING
 ROXBURY'S SCHOOL

Milford Nov. 19-Weiss Park, New Haven. will be the scene of one of the biggest prep school clashes in theeast this afternoon when the Mil ford school eleven lines up against the Roxbury school of Cheshire in a game likely to be an annual event at either Cheshire or Milford.
 These two institutions are now rated as two of Yale's biggest prep school feeders and in fact, are a trifle further advanced on the whole than several fo the larger prepara- tory institutions because of the fact that graduates of other schools enter the local institutions as the final step into college. This is borne out by the fact that in the two Ine-ups are several men who starred at Andover Exeter, and similar schools in the past two years
 It is only comparatively recently that athletics have been attempted at the two schools on a large scale but they have grown to such an extent that an Andover-Exeter clash has Yale squad contains number Of graduates of the schools who have been assisting in the coaching and the student body, with it's large quota of graduates, has been aroused to an extent approaching the interests in Yale's big contests.
 Both student bodies will have bands and cheering sections at Weiss park which will assume a truly col legiate air this afternoon. Play will be called at two o'clock. Many Mil ford friends of the students are plan ming to attend the game.

Why Price of Football
 Tickets Has Mounted

Canb ridge, Mass, Nov. 19 - Ob- jectors to the increased price of foot ball tickets to the Harvard series with Yale and Princeton do not stop to consider that the cost of football equipment, like everything else, has gone soaring since the war. So says the Harvard Athletic Association. In 1916 it cost Harvard approximately S35 a man to outfit the team, but that covers only one complete outfit, and does not allow for uniforms and other material that are replaced. The present season cost for the purchase of the same equipment will be ap- proximateIy $10O. or almost three times as much as before the war.
 The intercollegiate football that will be used in Saturdays game sold for s5 when Harvard lost to Yale in 1916 Whichever team takes posses sion of the ball this fall will get a SIP swine skin. Increases have been noted everywhere. in the construction of temporary wooden bleachers, help about the field, the services of coaches ticket sellers, printing of tickets and programs and railroad fares for scouts.
 Harvard generally spends $35, 900 to develop a football team. This years depelope a football team. This years least doubled. The Crimson, how ever. will register a new record in gate receipts probably moro than S400, ,000.'
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-11-19

the town boys to straighten out the matter could not be learned today but it is probable that Manager Maher will issue a statement clearing up the question within day or two in order that the two teams may meet
 Elaborate preparations are being made by both teams for the game and with band engaged to furnish music and other arrangements now being completed the contest promises to be the greatest and most interest. ing ever played here.
 Paddock supporters are offering odds of 10 to ', and Edward Wash burn, of Walnut Beach, states that he will present a $5 bill to every Paddock player making a touchdown.
 Both teams are diligently prepar- ing for the battle and the Milford boys will hold proctice Friday night Tuesday and Wednesday nights will hold signal practice at the Milford school gymnasium. The team is be- ing coached by Carlson, of the Mill ford school, formerly of the Cincin- natl Reds, and a we'll known baseball, football and basketball star,
 The Paddocks are being whipped into shape by Coach Fred Hilsinger, a former well known moleSkin star of Bridgeport and are confident that they will win the game. The Pad- docks will travel to South Norwa1k Sunday to meet the fast Tigers of that town and at Milford has no game scheduled many of the players will go down to learn their oppon- ents style of play.

After this game the Atlas will go on a sort rest prior to taking up thei practice for their game with the Jackson Stars for the championship fthis city. These are the only two teams that have not tasted defeat. All Atlas men are to report for prac- tice Friday night and Sunday morn ing.

 39TH BATTLE AT BOWL.
 The Yale Harvard clash will be the 39th between these teams.

Harvard has beaten Yale only ten times and five games were teiS.
 From all indications Harvard will chalk up her eleventh victory over the Blue in Yale Bowl tomorrow, thouhg many critics doubt that the Crimson can defeat the Bulldogs by
