WHAT OUR TEAM HAS WON
A question being asked on all sides is this, What is wrong
with Howard College athletics? Those who haven’t stopped
to consider the situation seriously think we haven’t any team.
We admit there are some things wrong at Howard, but it is not
the coaches or the team. Howard College has the best team
it h&s had in years.
We now have a team of students. Every member of the
squad attends classes and will pass their work with a credita¬
ble showing. That in itself is the greatest victory we could
possibly win. The results of last year’s game with the Pan¬
thers proved that for some years Howard College had been on
a wrong basis athletically. Formerly Howard has had men
on the team who came here to play football and not to do
school work. They took no interest in things around school
and couldn't play much football, either. They had the mis¬
taken idea that football doesn’t need trained minds.
Coach Cope has said that the man who didn’t have sense
enough to pass his work didn't have brains enough to play on
his team of football. Even if we lose every game, I had rath¬
er see our team composed of students, than to beat Auburn,
Alabama or any other school.
The S. 1. A. A., one-year ruling hurt Howard, but our
greatest drawback has been the effects of our former policy
and the lack of spirit among the students.
When our students wake up and get behind our team
and stay there, win or lose, Howard College will have a win¬
ning team on a firm footing. Our team can play football
when it feels that our students, faculty and friends are behind

Conspicuous among hundreds of in¬

Rover, he was able to hold the um

but when they passed by the creek
he saw that hie tail looked hard and

that. So that night they journeyed

GOD’S CALL
FOR MEN
Jerome O. Williams, Atherts, Ala.
It seems that there has never bee«
a time in the history of Christianity
when the demand for trained Chri-
atian leadership was so great as it ft
today. Certainly in our own country
the demand is most urgent. This U
an hour when men of talent and
consecration are needed to guide the
religious thinking of people and to
help them in their Intellectual diffi¬
culties concerning religious subjects.
Thoroughly furnished and equiped
men are demanded in this hour to
develop the teaching and training
side of our Christian work. Immi¬
grants are in our country in such
large number that some one has
said, “America must Christianize th*
immigrants or the immigrants will
heathenize America.” The task of
Chrisintnizing theae new comers dfr
mantis leadership of men of th*
highest type and of the widest rang*
of sympathy. Our large and ever in¬
creasing cities challenge the church
and Christian forces, and If Chris¬
tianity is to Inspire their life and
dominate in them, surely our ablest
and most noble young men must
devote their lives to Christian ser¬
vice. The country districts, too, are
demanding today leaders who are
trained and who know how to mar-
ishal the forces of the Master. The
improved system of schools, the high¬
er standard of education, and the
general increase of intelligence
among the people, demand that ev¬
ery -church have a band of, trained
leaders.- If the church Is to success¬
fully cope with the conditions and
become and hold the leading place
in the life of our country communi¬
ties, It. must be led by those who
have had special religious training.
If the Christian forces are -to shape
the social life of the day— the prob¬
lems of labor and capital, the rich
and poor, the amusment life of oiir
people, etc.— then we must have wise
leaders who can discover and deal
with the causes of misery and wrong
as well as with misery and wrong
themselves. Then the nations of the
world are looking anxiously to our
country to furnish the leaders who
can muke Jesus Christ known, loved
and obeyed among the multitudinous-
inhabitants of the world. This world-
demands of the age and conquer
for Christ and Christianity, we must
have the very best efforts of the
very best men of the land.
May we now look through tho
Book and find there the kind of men
God has ever called to do His work.
. In the first place, Cod has ever
called men into His service. It has
ever been His plan _ to use men In
granting His blessings, to humaity.
Ages ago, “The- Lord said unto
Abram, get thee out of thy country,
and from thy kindred .and from thy
father's house into a land that I
