NATIONAL WOMAN'S
CONVENTION INSTITUTES
BIBLE READING PERIOD

DR.. Mamie H. Burroughs,
president of the Woman'S Ma
tional Baptist Convention, In
corporated, recommended to
the women of America to read
the Scripture Portion Gala
tians to ThessalonianS" from
November 6 through Novem-
Der %.
1t is the hope of the Con-
vention to get one million Wo-
men to read this Scripture
Portion. Many of the dele
gates present at the Conven-
tion in Memphis, Tenn, were
very much concerned about
the reading period which is to
be sponsored by the Woman's
Convention.
All of the presidents of the
societies and churches and
the Woman's Auxiliary are
urged to get a supply ade-
quate for church use and for
eople outside of the
church. The reading will be-
Igin. November 6 through No
vember 6 through November
%, and therefore, it is import
ant that the missionary So
cieties order their supply at
a very early date. These will
cost $500 per hundred. Send
cash with all orders to the
American Bible Society, 10 w.
Leigh Street, Richmond, 20,
Virginia.
This promises to be one of
the greatest movements in the
Woman's Convention. Cata-
logs and other supplies might
be ordered from the above ad-
dress. Join in with a million
women in the Bible outreach
reading crusade. The entire
program is sponsored by the
American Bible Society. Rev.

Mr.. Seward was a personal

to all those who still pay
honor to the memory of a

While many visitors to Au-

Victory Over WI Adds
Topping to CIV Season
BY BOB HANSON

The 1855 season at George

be classed as the best. on a won-

but it must rank as the most
gratifying.

turned out to be highly satis-
factory for the Presidents who
finished with a 1910 come
from behind victory over Wash
ington Lee yesterday before
1900 fans at GW's stadium.
It was the 21st game in the
traditional Old Oaken Bucket
series between the two schools
and gave CIV the edge. 1913.
Two games ended in ties. 1t also
was the ninth straight victory in
the series for the Alexandriahs.
although the 1858 game was
awarded WI on a forfeit when
CIV was found to have used an
ineligible player.

George Washington finished
the season with d 7-3 record as
against a. last year. Wash
ington-Lee broke even in 10
games this season.
The victory gave the Presidents
a so record in the Northern Vir-
ginia, Group / League. and the
championship for the second
straight year.
IF anyone had told us at the
beginning Of the season we
would finish this high we would
have thought they were kidding. !"
Ford said.
I'VE thought at best we would
break even in our 10-game
schedule. But about midway In
the season, the Wakefield game
to be exact, we found we had q

proved after some changes in

Actually he has served on the

the last five as chairman. Ben
notes that he worked for nearly
two seasons as chairman without
lever being aware that he was
the top man. THE commodore

one day." Minor recalls.
That Is really not as strange
Jas it sounds. Minor operates his
committee on a team basis and
lis the last guy in the world to
he throwing his weight around
Ben was asked whether being
lclobbered over the head by a
failing mast from one of the
racing boats in this falls series
had anything to do with his
decision to retire. He laughed
land said his mind had been
made up long before the Incl
dent.
Minor recalls his first boat at
age Of 10 was a 14-foot. gaff-
lrigged cathoard that he and his
father sailed of Alexandria
That was SO years ago. Some
years later, prior to World War
III. he skippered Ralph Young's
little dinghy Seabiscuit in the
annual long g-distance race to
Gunston Cove and placed third.
That boat happened to be Pen
glin No. 2 and Ben thus became
the first skipper ever to race a
Penguin in a formal regatta.
