The S. l. A. A. is an old and
established organization. Pioneer
members can, remember when
sessions were held by candle
light. Now they're held by can
delabra and chandelier.
Meetings were once held be-
hind closed doors. This was be-

Old Josh Cody, Member him,
don't yous Josh looks ms pow
erfui ms ever. He used to be tor
mentor for all opposition while
playing for Vnndy. He's mentor

He never has explained how he
happened to be raised up in
Methodist school and then start
ed coaching a Baptist aggrega-
ton just as soon as he got his
sheepslSin.
Maybe he went with Mercer
because 1t was n Mercenary
proposition. Money tnlks. It's
got much better command of
'good-by" than "howdy," how
ever.

amount,
Lots of the delegates seem to
favor the one-year rule Tor
football and the home rule for
ireland.
As for me and mine, we were
always more interested in home
brew than in home-rule.
Tbe.e TutwiIuer floors sure nre

ing order.
