Baptist Church this morning, fol.
lowing an outline of the work given
by the Rev. r. T.. Diffendorfer, Of
Chicago, secretary, Department of
Education of the Committee on Con.
servation and Advance. Bishop Al.
w. Leonard, Of San Francisco, pre-
sided.
DR.. Diffendorfer told the confer
ence that the world Service pro-
gram shows an approximate need
of SIS, 000.0O for legitimate benev-
olent purposes. He said that SIS,
100000 OF 1t will be apportioned to
the churches which last year raised
$13,SS5,172 for the same purposes.
Under the church's centenary
Benevolent program, he explained,
carried on for the past four years,
the denomination has averaged $15.-
000, 900 q year for benevolent needs.
DR., Diffendorfer stated that the
funds regularly apportioned will be
as follows:
Board of foreign missions, s6,seO,-
900; board of home missions, $6,800..
/
board OF education for negroes,
$3.50. 900; board Of sunday schools,

DR.. G. 3. Guthrie, general secre-
| tar Of the Epworth league, also nd.
STRENGTHENING the Local Church"
| DIR. Guthrie declared that prohibit
tion was here today, and that the
Middle West Was the center Of pro-
hibition. He also spoke at some
length of the growth which prohibi-
| tion is making In Europe and Of the
work that Methodist officials were
doing in connection with that work
In answer to the charge that the
young people OF this generation were
not as moral or religious as their
predecessors, DIR. Guthrie stated that
$4,000 young people attended the
young peoples institutes last sum
mer In the United States.
THE quiet young men and women
of character are not conspicuous,
but they are in a great majority in
these United States" he said.
There are $4,000 young men and
women in the Epworth league of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and
there are hundreds Of thousands of
young people belonging to other
churches. and II Is a shame to brand
the young people of America as not
as moral as their parents"
Touching upon the responsibilities
of the church, DIR. Guthrie said:
with leadership REINFORCED and
| safeguarded, the church may ex
pect a program of ministry to our

shoots was given a 1854 to 1,013 wal

no alibi, for shooting conditions were

Heisman valued this young man as
foot ball player. but he valued the
quality Of his gridiron intellect even
more. So after he was graduated he
was retained by Heisman as sort of
right hand man of the coaching staff
while the Tech authorities establish
him as professor of mathematics
Further to fiji up his day he was

Alex was a valuable man to Heis-

the credit for those elevens. whose
prowess established Georgia Tech

go to Bill Alexander.
When we entered the war in 1917
Alexander jumped into the fray as an
enlisted man, hut he had not been
long in service before he received his
commission as a lieutenant of artil-
lery. He fought in France. but not SO
continuously that he did not have
time to coach A very fine artillery
eleven. one of whose members was
Jim Robertson, the former Dartmouth
backfield star.
Returning when the armistice was
signed Alex took up his work at Tech
where he had left off, and in 1919
when Heisman went north, Tech au-
thorities. yielding to popular demand
appointed Alexander to fill his place
His first eleven. that of 1919, was a
splendid product. and, in fact, every

been of national caliber. He has car

increases his experience, there is no
telling to what heights he will bear

TRAPSHOOT|NG CONTROL
IN HANDS OF AMATEURS

NEW YORK. March 17.-After
thirty years of control. firearms and
powder manufacturers have relin-
quished authority over amateur trap
shooting in North America and
henceforth the sport will be governed
by amateurs, who have formed the
Amateur Trap Shooters Association
of North America to replace the
American Trap Shooting Association.
Although the formal transfer was
accomplished last Thursday, an
nouncement of it was not made until
tonight. The new organization will
establish headquarters at No. 230
East Ohio street, Chicago, within a
week or ten days and the old associ-
alton, while remaining in existence,
will close its Offices and cease to
function.
The officers of the new organi-
zation are: President. Frank D.
Stoop, Spokane. Wash: vice presi-
dents. George $. McCarty, Newfield, y.
j.: L. r. Brooks, Columbia, S. c.;
Fred r. Etchen. CoffeyvilIe, Kan.
Sam S. Foster. Mason City, Iowa; Wal
ter S. Peacock, Chicago: secretary,
Starr Matthews. Baltimore.
The manufacturers, Mr.. Matthews
said, for a number of years have
been desirous Of turning over con-
troll of the sport to the amateurs who
began gradually to take charge four
years ago through a committee elect
ed in five zones to cooperate with
the directors of the old association.
The first officers of the new organiza-
ton were selected from the cooper
ating committee elected for this year
