endeavor to have the members of
the team in first class condition when
they hit the green. Parent stood
behind the pitchers most of the at

about warming up and not working
too hard at the first of the season.
He also told them to look after their
arms during the holidays as those
with sore arms will not be any good
to the team as long as they are in
that condition.
Freddie had very little to say to
the squad except to tell them to do
a little running each day until the
vacation is over. He was pleased

NJ q A. we're installed last night at
1heir regular meeting. The meeting
was opened by prayer by IuGSey'
he respective COMMITTEES we're re-
ported showing unusually Soou "olh
accomplished during the past year.

nevertheless, been helped himself by
being responsible for the work OF the

in welcoming the freshmen.
think we did the best work in years,
he declared. Talso said that in the
meetings, the deputation work, ana
the Bible discussion groups, the as
sociation had made great improve
ment. One of the big things the as
ISOLATION had done was to prinS
]. Stitt Wilson. who gave us such
worthwhile ideas.
"This year." he said. 1--WE are
building the association on new oasls.
We have put our pledge cards on
which the students have signed their
names under the real ASSOCIATION
ideals. We want quality more than
quantity. for it is much better 10
have a few signs the card realizing
what it means than to have every
student sign and not appreciate It's
meaning. "Hcnceforth." he said, we
should cease to call this association
the c. c. A. hut instead the Colby
Young Mems Christian Association. y
President Roberts then addressed
thc new officers: One of the great
est losses Of this college is the
Christian boys who come here. Out
of the large number who come here.
we succeed in getting into Chrlstian
work only a small number. The c. {.
A. would make itself stronger If 1t
could be composed of all the Christ
ian boys in college. Among all our
reports there is one missing-the
number of boys brought to Jesus
Christ. 1t is your great work to bring
them in. Every boy is interested IN
religion if YOU can fin dthe right ap-
proach, and it is your duty to bring
other Christian boys into the work.
You need more prayer meetings.
The men who have come from outside
to speak to you have not, in most
cases, done a great lot of good. The
fellows are interested in you. and
your experiences. Men like us better
for being Christians. and less for be-
ing poorer Christians. If we mini
mize the meaning of the Y. NJ. c. A.
we will minimize it's strength.
Finally in closing. Mr.. Newman. to
whom spike" attributed the success
of the c. c. A. for the past year,
spoke few words to the new officers.
He declared that thei Y. Nj. c. A.
room shall be a college home during
the coming year and that the coming
year will be the greatest in the his
tory of the Colby Y. NJ. c. A.
