OBITUARY.

Dudley Pearson, son of Luther and
Floy Pearson was born April 10, ~
20 and died Nov. 3, 1921, aged | year
six months and 20 days.
He was a beautiful child, the hope
of the home and the one object that
brought JOY to the hearts of his pa
rents.
Joe Dudley's influence reached be-
yond his immediate home. There
were his aunts who loved him as if
he was their very own. Grandparents
stood by the little casket with grief in
their hearts. The whole community
was touched with sorrow not only for
relatives but beautiful baby
boy had passed to the beyond in
whom there was so much promise.
We laid him to rest in churchyard
where he now sleeps under flowers
placed there by loving hands. As we
turned away we felt that we shall
see him again for the scriptures say
of the innocent, pure and good,
BLESSED are the dead which die in the
Lord"

KEPT CROWD ON EDGE
The JayhaWkers not oliy we're sue

short-passing game but they approache...
the basket fully as many times as the
Bengals. In an effort to penetrate the
others defense each quintet put forth
best efforts, and as a result the fray was
of the speedy variety There were a
good many fouls committed; yet the
game was not as rough as either Of the
Washington cOmbsts.
Until the Tigers annexed the lead
which gave them victory, there had been
only once a margin of more than 2
points to either team. The score see
sawed back and forth and At the end Of
the first half was tied at l3 apiece.
The crowd was on edge throughout

Under this system, it is not so much
