COUNTY AGENT AND SUIT.
SMITH WRITE OF PIG
CLUB PLAN.

The following letter from the Co.
unity Agent and Superintendent OF
Education to the county teachers
explain the plans for opening the
campaign for members in the boys
and girls pig club for Lafayette
County:
Oxford, Miss, Dec. 8, 1920.
My dear teacher
A few years ago our state was
infested with a very low grade OF hogs
known as the "Razor-Back' or "Plne
Wood Rooters."
| Last year our State ranked 9TH
among the hog states Of the unlon'
The Pig Club Boys and Girls had
more to do with bringing about this
change than any other one factor.
Hog raising will always be one OF the
most profitable industries for farm
ers of Mississippi, and it should be
pushed forward to perfection.
! Through the wisdom and generosity
of Hon. Jas Stone we now have SIX
registered DUROC pigs defendants
of the famous $4,000 hog Scissors
to give away absolutely free to the
members of the Pig Club in Lafayette
County: One to some club boy or girl
in each Beat, and one to the members
in the county-at-large.
The plan is for the teachears to
, obtain the names of all their pupils
who wish to become members of the
Pig Club for 1921. DO 1T TO-DAY
on receipt of this letter.
Then all the members of each Beat
will meet at the time and place in the
. Beat as outlined in the accompanying
letter from the County Superintend
ent and all members Of the Beat draw
> for the lucky pig. Then all the mem
bers will meet at the County Cour
House on December 18th and likewise
draw for tae lucky pig for the county

. pigs to all Pig Club members whom

ST.. A.A. TO MEET AT
JACKSONVILLE FLA.
Important Issues To Be Decided.
Coach Sullivan Is To Represent Ole
Miss At :. |. A. A. Meet On
December IL.

Coach r. l.. Sullivan will leave
soon to attend the meeting OF the
Southern Intercollegiate Athletic As
ISOLATION meeting to be held in Jack
sonville. Florida on Dec. II. At this,
the yearly meeting of the association,
rules and regulations are formulated
and adopted which shall govern and
control all Intercollegiate athletic
contests between the colleges belong
ing to this association.
The meeting this year will be of
special interest and even vital to the
existence OF some of the southern col
leges, as momentuous questions are
to be determined. The main issue to
be considered is whether or not the
'One Year Rule" which was defeated
last year shall be adopted at this
meeting. The One Year Rule as in
troduced is practically an adoption
of the Ere shman Rule which is now
in effect in all of the Eastern assocla-
tons. Thi, provides that no man
shall be eligible for intercollegiate
contests until he has been one year
in the Institution which he represents
The provisions of this rule extend to
the prohibition of Freshmen from
participation in athletics as well as
men coming from other colleges.
The effect of such ruling upon the
smaller colleges of this association Is
apparent. The primary object is tt
discourage professionalism in college
athletics, which is praiseworthy un
dertaking, but the injustice involved
is manifold A great many Of tn
smaller colleges depend upon tn
Freshman class to furnish materla
for their athletic teams and to ellml
nate these men from the eligible list
would be a great handicap to them.
The supporters of this rule are de
termined TO pass it at this meeting
and it is certain that it will NEE
with a strong opposition. A breac
between the TWO factions is predicted
Those supporting the rule and VIII
are supposed to be in the majority
retaining the name of the S. |. A. 4
and Sthe opposition forming anotne
association
It is hoped that an amicable agree
ment can be reached and that no Sc
verance will be found necessary
Coach Sullivan will represent VI
Miss to the best of his ability and W
are confident that his decisions WI
be. to the best interests OF the Uni
vefsity.

OLE MISS BASKE-
TEERSPLAY M. W.
GAME HARD FOUGHT
NJ. S. &. w. Wins by score of
AZ to 2

The Coed Basket Bail Team in its
second game this season played the
team of M. S. C. W. at Columbus,
Saturday. The game was called at
2:30 on an out door court that had
been hastily marked off after the rain
stopped at twelve o'clock. The first
half was hard fought, Ole Miss hold
ing NJ. S. Z. W. down to a score of II
to y. The pass work was good on DoCn
sides, blu. M. S. C. W. was stronger.
In the second half the strain of hard
playing told on our team, Scott was
taken out, Mary Helen WATSON put
In as guard, and the score went up AZ
to 2 in favor OF M. S. C. W., Varda-
man making the goal for Ole Miss.
The guards did finely, but "Scotchy"
Mccall, due to a sprained ankle was
unable to play, so in the second half
both guards were substitutes. They
did splendid work but had not had
practice enough to develop much team
work.
The members of the M. S. C. w.
team were all much larger than the
Ole Miss girls, and were good players
also; their centers played especially
well. The M. S. C. w. team is to be
commended for only making two
fouls. Ole Miss II.
The game was refereed by Miss
Campbell, who was one of the quick
est, fairest referees We have seen.
The umpire was Miss Pegues.
M. S. c. w. will play a return game
at Ole Miss sometime after Christ
mas.
