REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TEN.
PERANCE OF WEST VIRGIN
Ia M. E. CONFERENCE

eve, your Committee on Temper
ance make the following report:
Prohibition came in the mick of
time" 1t was the greatest progress
sive step taken by our nation since
the abolition Of human slavery. It
is the greatest success where best
enforced. We rejoice in the signi-
ficant fact that it is being more eff
fectively enforced today than ever
before in West Virginia.
True, there are still violations, but
the liquor traffic was always law
less, wrong in principle, inexpedient
In practice. The first rebellion that
ever raised its arm against the Am
erican flag was the Whiskey REBEL
ion of 1874. They haulded down the
flag fired on mail carriers, post of
fices, and custom houses, and drove
the tax collectors into hiding George
Washington had to call for troops
to suppress the incipient rebellion and
enforce the law. From that day to
this the Liquor Traffic has violated
every law passed for it's regulation,
its taxing, or prohibition. 1t is, there
fore not surprising that it is still
lawless. In the light of its history
we find little to discourage US in our
warfare for its complete abolition.
On the other hand we rejoice in the
peoples. It has removed legalized
temptation from the pathway of the
young, the weak and the habit-bound.
Millions of excessive drinkers have
bringing to our nation and to other
quit drinking and have been saved
great blessings and benefits it is
for two worlds. We rejoice in this
fact. We rejoice also in the blood
less revolution in the social customs
of America, the improvement of pu-
bic morals. general health, and ma
tional wealth through this glorious
victory for decensy and order.
Il We rejoice in the measure of law

B. A. C. Blues Play Trinity
 On Tuesday
Local Team Made Good Showing Against Alabama
 Saturday Night

The B. A. C. basketeers, who gave the Alabama five one of the hardest fights of the season on the athletic club floor Saturday night, will take on the five from Trinity college of Durham, N. C.. Tuesday night at the B. A. c. at S:30 o'clock.
 The Trinity quintet is one of the best college teams in the south, and is a great aggregation at the passing game, their handling of the ball being very good at all times. They played the Howard college team on the Y. M. c. A. court here Saturday night, while the B. A. c. was playing Alabama, just across the way, and took the Bulldogs in by the score of S8 to 16.
 The Howard five gave the B. A. c. q hard fight on the club floor last Tuesday night, but the comparison of the scores in basketball Is as mislead- ing as it is in football, and the B. A. C.. put up . grade of basketball play Sat urday night that is far superior to any thing that they have done this year. The showing that they made against Alabama in this game gives some idea of the improvement that they have made since their last game with the Capstone institution, when they were beaten by a score that was more than double their own,
 B. A. c. In Form
 The B. A. c. team has slowly but surely been rounding into form, and from this time on may be expected to members arc working together with greater ease and precision than they have in the earlier part of the season.
 The work of Armstead Leake and Hugh Montgomery showed a touch of their old-time style Saturday night, and with . few more workouts they ought to be going at a rate that will be . stumbling block in the way of the best teams that will come this way this year. Leake plays the backguard position we'll, taking the ball nearly every time 1t comes into his territory, unlehh 1t be by the long g-shot route and is good for a basket. Montgomery is ever turned out, and his play is now getting up to his old standard.
 Vincent Good
 Charlie Vincent did the Clubbers good service in the Alabama fray and will probably get into action with them in the coming game with the North Caro- linians. If he does, he will be ex- pected to show an aggressiveness and ability to work the floor that is ex- ceptional fin a man of his years and experience.
 Hungry" Floyd, who got only a few minutes in the Alabama game and who has not had time to get himself going as well as he likes to go since he started his training last week, may get a chance in this game.
 Mandy Accurate
 Mandy showed in Saturday nights affair that his eye was well near per- feet and that all he needed was little more quick passing to get him few more chances for good, clear shots.
 Hub Hahn is going good, and Ollie Hilburn is getting better every game With the North Carolinians putting up such game as they put up on the " floor and the B. A. c. repeating their performance of Saturday night, the coming game ought to be as hot a fight as one desires to see on any floor.

The Birmingham Athletic clubs sport carnival is slated for Monday night at s:30 o'clock. One of the best pro- grams of the season has been outlined for the athletic show, which will fea- ture two wrestling bouts that should pc Homer Smiles will meet in the big event, and this promises to be a real battle. These two grapplers have srudge of long standing, and in their last two meetings have not been able to obtain . decision. No falls have been obtained by either over his oppo- nent since Smiles' return to the mat, tonight.
 Kid Lott and Young, Adolphus meet in the other wrestling bout, . six round affair. These two boys have also met before and have staged soma hectic tusselling. They are we'll matched for the bout.
 In the final event, which was to have been a boxing bout between Red Herring and Young Jack Dillon, . switch was made necessary by Young Dillon's running out of the match. These two fought here couple of weeks ago, and the bout was one of the fastest 1O-round draws seen here in some time. The go was a sensational affair that set the fans to talking. AS a result, much was expected of the bout that was to have been held Mon- day night. Matchmaker Dave Evans became awake to the fact Sunday that Young Jack Dillon was appearing in Louisville on the same night he was due to box here.
 Won't Be Here
 Unlike New York musical shows, Young Dillon had no twin to send on the road, so Matchmaker Dave was forced posthaste to do some tall fig uring. The outcome of his mental en- ergy was the bringing of Erbie Moke of New Orleans here to meet Herring. Now, those who know Moke believe

Moran Will
 Be Missed At Centre
"Prayin' Colonel Coach Lifted Team From Ob-
 scurity To Fame

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The resigna- tions of several prominent football coaches have been announced since the 1923 season ended, but none of their number has occasioned to the grad uates and undergraduates of the col leges the deep and genuine regret that is being evidenced by Centre college men as the result of the resignation of Charles Moran as Centres football coach.
 He has accepted an attractive of- fer from Bucknell.
 Before Uncle Charley" came to Gen. tre, that little college had produced endless numbers of governors, sena- tors, college presidents, and other lead denies. etc., but it was not until "Un- cle Charley" Moran's arrival that the world in general knew about it.
 Uncle Charley" developed foot ball team which the world simply had to notice, and having noticed the world began to inquire the location and history of the hitherto unknown south ern college.
 Started at Low Salary
 He came at a very low salary and his duties required him to coach and train the football squad, repair and re-cleat the players shoes and look after their equipment. Uncle Charley" did all those things and turned out the record scoring football elevens of 1918 and 1919 and teams that ranked with the high est scorers in 192O-21-Z2-23. His Centre gridders went unbeaten for two years and numbered among their vanquished such sturdy elevens as those of Har- yard, West Virginia and Indiana.
 Last fall there were more men on the Centre football squad than there were in the college when Uncle Char ley" first came.
 Such is the advertising value of a flashy football team and such is Gen. tres debt to it's much-loved coach.

CENTRE BOARD TO
 MEET ON TUESDAY

LOUISVILLE, ky, Feb. 10.-Another act in the mystery play" Filling Moran's Shoes" which is interesting Centre college football fans, is to be unfolded in Louisville Tuesday. The shoes are to be filled by the successor of Uncle Charles Moran, left empty when he resigned,
 Following the, announcement of Moran's resignation, friends of "Bo" McMillans now gridiron mentor at Cen tenary college, Shreveport, La., entered the former Colonel star for the job. McMillan came to Danville at the re- quest of Centre officials. but apparA ently there was hitch in negotiations, Upon his return to Shreveport he said his conversations with Centre officials had not progressed to the salary stage, but that conditions were proposed which he felt he could not accept.
 A meeting of the board of trustees of Centre has been called for Louis- ville by President Montgomery. \ Ob- servers generally hold to the opinion that Centres coaching problem is to be gone into at length at that meeting. A meeting of the trustees, which was to have been held while McMillan was in Danville, was postponed, President Montgomery explained the action was taken when indications were seen that attendance of trustees would be small.
 Members of the board include R. Tate Irwin, Bigstone Gap, Va: Henry Clay Reed, Fort Smith, Ark, and Sena- tor R. P. Ernest, Covington, Ky.

Erlie Moke Will Meet Red Herring In Final Boxing Event Due To Failure Of Young Dillon To Live Up
 To Word To Box Here

that the substitute will be as good. if not better, than the original, and a good exhibition of boxing is expected when these two boys meet. Moke has beaten Young Leonard and practically every lightweight in this part of the country, and comes here with a good record. a
 Herring has been training hard for Dillon this week, with the avowed inc tention of giving him good 1acing, but 1t was just as well, for he will have to put out his best to stand the pace set by Moke, if he lives up to ex- pectations. Red has been here for . week and has been working with sew eral local-slusgers of good ability and considerably heavier. and also much lighter, than himself, and thereby paid much attention both to, his sslugging ability as well as his boxing skill.
 Reds Farewell -
 The bout Monday night will be his farewell to Birmingham boxing fans for some time to come, for Red is ship ping east for competition in the big rings. Although Red has met a large number of the casts best boys. he has boxed them in southern territory, and is now going out to take them In at their own stamping grounds. For this reason, Red Is anxious to show off his best Monday night. and Mir. Moks will not find a reluctant mixer when he steps into the ring. :,
 Young Dillon's failure to appear here might be interpreted to speak well of Reds ability to sling . steamy glove. quite a few of the local ightweight's flying gloves during the bout; and, despite the fact that Evans offered the young visitor a much more attractive proposition and the next two fights here, he will be absent when the start ing gong sounds.
 Tn the other events of the evening bill, Battling Ike will meet Bosie Saab in boxing bout, while Spark Plug and Red Wilson will also meet.

SISLER MAY TRY
 PITCHING NEXT

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 10.-George Sisler, new manager of the St. Louis Browns, will try to pitch if his eyes, which kept him out of the game all last season, again refuse to let him play first base, according to letter from Sisler to Walter Frisch, vice president of the Browns.
 "I have been working out regularly, and each day I note an improvement" !" Sisler's letter said.
 But even if I should decide that I am not ready to play at first base, I am absolutely certain that I can try my hand at pitching, and I am training with that possibility in view
 When Sisler joined the Browns in 1915, his fame in college and semi-pro was chiefly as a pitcher. In an inter class game, facing the best batters of the University of Michigan in 1911, Sisler struck out 20 men in seven i'm ninss, didn't allow a single hit and allowed only six men to make as much as a foul. They're still talking about it over at Ann Arbor
 From the pitchers box, Sisler Won four and lost five games for the Browns in 1915.
 In 1916, he pitched a game against the great Walter Johnson, in which the Browns beat the Senators, to o. Then his ability as a hitter and fielder be- gan to evershadow his pitching, and he moved to first base.
