Suggestion of Church League

Of Eastern Normal, and himself

secured permission for use of the
Normal athletic grounds when
ever they are not required by the
school games and SO that study

agreed to recruit team to repre-
sent the church. J Howard Payne

to represent the Methodist
church; Paul Burnam, the Chris

that Arnold Hanger will be ex-

The play-spirit is a part OF the
human makeup and the sooner
we recognize that and make an
effort to direct it the better it will
be for us all. There is a mistaken
idea abroad i'll the land, NAMELY.
that ministers and churches are
opposed to amuSements OF all
sorts. This is not the case. We
are only opposed to those forms
of amusements which are injur-

posed Church League can be
made to serve the interests of the
