Anniston, Ala. — In a rough, closely contested game, Howard defeated the Alabama Presbyterian College’s bas¬ ketball team here Friday night by what is believed to be a record score. Howard scored 10 points to the Pres¬ byterian’s 4. ! The game probably was the rough¬ est seen in Anniston this year. This can be blamed on the smallness of the court and /the nearly even ability of the two teams. The small score was caused by the Inconvenient plac¬ ing of the baskets, without any nets attached to them.

There will be courses given in Mathematics, Science, and Languages, together with a course in Domestic Science and also a course In Manual Training. “Each department will have two courses,» said Dr. MOon. “These courses will be given together with a Teacher's Training Course, which will train the students for the exam¬ ination for the First, Second and Third Grade certificates. The Manual Training Department will be headed by S. A. Taylor, who was graduated at Howard in '1Б, and who is at present connected with the Birmingham Public Schools In the Manual Training work.

VAUGHN WAS DIVINITY 8TUDENT CAPTAIN six feet six inches in height, and eas¬ ily got the tip-off from Howard’s cen¬ ter. He was closely guarded and was unable to score a point for the Preds. Barber and Newman played a good game for the visitors, and this ac¬ counts for the low score of the Preds. Captain Hilliard and Attaway played good games at forward, scoring two goals each. Hilliard scored two fouls. Howard’s victory was caused by her determination No fight to the end. The Baptists played without the service W M‘ °“ке' Graduate Manager, of their regular center.

HOWARD STUDENT8 KNOW “WHAT 18 GRAND OPERA?” new •nvice.' 'about twenty yews ngo. Twenty-Four Collegians Now Speak of the Bijou Frequently. “Why shouldn't 1 salute the King?" asked one student. “You are the only one,” was the re¬ ply. * “Just the sameV I was Instructed to follow the leader,” said the first, “and I, obeyed." These remarks and numerous oth¬ ers were heard between curtains at the Boston Grand Opera performance at the Bijou Theatre Saturday night. Howard is sure to have several Grand Opera stars, but, alas, they are’ to be nothing more than twenty- four Egyptian soldiers. This ie the verdict of the Stage Manager. “It was great fun and we had a great time finding our cues,» said one of the performers. “Then we had the opportunity of speaking to the great singers at least,” was one of the excuses offered for bis first appearance. All this and more which “the half is never yet been told” happened at ie Bijou Theatre when twenty-four Howard College students answered to an advertisement for helpers in the opera production. The newspaper critics noted the gal¬ lantry of the soldiers and commented favorably upon their acting. This Is аП. Now ask some of these great per formers. is noted. Mr. Duke’s letter fol¬ lows: Л “Gentlemen: I wish to call your at¬ tention to an error of the ‘Crimson.’ You state that Captain Gibson is the first divinity student to hold the dis¬ tinction of being Captain of a How¬ ard eleven. The best center Howard ever produced was a divinity student and played on the two best teams ever turned out at Howard, 1906 and 1909. He was Captain of the 1907 team, I am almost sure. I refer to B. 8. Vaughn. I am sure you would not do this grand old fellow an injus¬ tice after having fought so nobly for Howard. Yours for Howard, W. M. DURE, ’06. MISS NEWMAN SINGS 8QLO. Miss Hazel Newman, a Sophomore, sang a solo at the Teacher Training Recognition Day services held at the Rohama Baptist Church, Sunday. Local alumnae ot Judson College liv¬ ing in the Birmingham district will be entertained at a luncheon at the Southern Hotel at 2 o’clock Thursday afternoon. President and Mrs. Paul V. Bomar and Miss .Ann Kirtley, teach¬ er of English, have been asked to come from Judson to attend the luncheon, and it is announced that they have ac¬ cepted. Judson has a strong alumnae body in Birmingham, and it is anticipated that the luncheon will be well attend¬ ed. It is understood that President and Mrs. Bomar and Miss Kirtley will be asked to visit Howard College while they arq in Birmingham. TOURNAMENT8 TO BEGIN NEXT WEEK, 8AY8 CHANCE Winners of Contests Will Represent Howard Against Other Colleges.

Twenty students are to take part in the singles and the winner will rep¬ resent Howard in the Intercollegiate Tennis Tournaments. The winners ln the doubles will represent the college also. Preparations Being Made to Prepare j ■ Collegians for Crisis Should It Come Influences of wars and rumors ot wars will not be ineffective to How¬ ard students, according to mild ru¬ mors somewhat current on the campus since the break of relationships be¬ tween the United States and Germany. Brief Information sayse students re¬ fuse to remain inactive during the crisis which to now taken as Immi¬ nent and are quietly arranging tq ten¬ der services to “patria.” Another phase of this hushed-up ru¬ mor lmplys that those who are about to add white folds to the now red and bine banner which claims their loy¬ alty favor preparedness aa strongly a* they do redress to national insult, and that should the time come when the country needs their services they will be in physical condition to ten¬ der it Thus comes the message that upper classmen are seriously contemplating utilizing snch instruments on the cam¬ pus as are available. Belts, razor strops and hair brashes as well as bed slats have been mentioned as some of the probable instruments to be used in practice to train the re¬ cruits for service on the field. It has been suggested that anything to de¬ velop the blcepts and the muscles la the back and limbs can be used in the tralnidg’. Old muskets, side arms and the like may be need. Just when the training of the sup¬ posed company will begin could not be learned. Information given out says that it depends largely on how intense the situation Samford University Library-
