Mr.. Lumpkin never graduated from college.
He played two years at Georgia Tech, made ALL

upon the business in which he is engaged as
just a continuation of his livelihood. Thus we
saw Mr.. Lumpkn throughout the game without
smear on his uniform and it was one of the
games delights to see Mr.. Lumpkin avoiding
situations which might cause a spot.
Mr.. Lumpkin would move upon every play, but
as you viewed the scrimmage Mr. Lumpkin would
always be upon his feet. It looked upon one
occasion as though an opposing player might
get hold of Mr.. Lumpkins feet and throw him
to the ground. But Mr.. Lumpkin kicked and
this attack upon his feet was lost.
After each play he would dart around and
pat the other fellows on the back and spread

Christ is depriving men and women
of their convictions, the Rev. DR..
Peter Marshall, newly-appointed
pastor of the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church, declared last
night in his opening sermon to the
congregation. He said:
1--WE are caught in a practical
sort Of atheism. It's not the
blatant sort. We don't deny God
in discussion or in argument.
But we get ready for the worst
instead of preparing to accept
the best. We must have convic-
tions. A man must either believe
in the Lord Jesus or not believe
in Him"
