DAMON PA88E8 AWAY AND "
PYTHIA8 18 80 LONESOME.
Even as Damon and Pythias, so
stood the two “Twin Oaks'’ on the
campus Just to the west of Renfroe
Hall. For how many years it would
be hard to say, since the rings rep¬
resent years, it must have been forty-
eight.
The boughs interlocked as two lov-
eik. usually represented as sitting in
a pafck. Now one is lonesome. The
big oak is no more. It died and has
been chopped into short blocks, which
are used underneath the trees on the
campus for etudente to sit.
Some remember the tree as the
place from which hung ^he “Old foot¬
ball dummy,” and some have taken
away scars as a result. Maybe these
are glad that there remains no more
the giant oak, but it will be mlesed
and the students regret the loss of this
massive tree.

a minstrel show in the college audi¬

which will be given to the Athletic
Association for the support of the
football training table, according to
aq announcement by Prof. T. R.
Eagles, Faculty Athletic Representa¬
tive.
Owing to the extra expense incurred
in maintaining a training table, a spec¬
ial charge is being made this year
for ita up keep. About sixty-five
students have made contributions. At
a meeting of the athletic representa¬
tives, captains, managers and assis¬
tant managers of the various depart¬
ments of athletics at Howard, it was
decided to -have an entertainment to
help raise the remaining funds for the
training table. Tuesday morning the
women students presented their plans
to the athletic committee and their
offer to give the minstrel in the audi¬
torium was accepted. It is Understood
that Mrs. I. W. Waller, an expression
teacher of Birmingham, will direct the
show. It is said that nearly all of
the women students at Howard will
take part.

Amendments to the constitution of

Graduate Manager, instead of the
Director of Athletics Secretary-Treas¬
urer, and changing the Nominating
Committee of the Association, were
adopted at the meeting of the As¬
sociation Monday. Lee Blackwelder,
a Senior, was elected as Student Ath¬
letic Representative.
According to the amendment adopt¬
ed Monday, the Committee on Nomj*

President of the Athletic Association,
Director of Atheltics, Student Repre¬

letics for which the managers and
assistant managers are to be elected.
Football training on the Howard
athletic field is being pushed steadily
and the candidates ‘are beginning to
show some of the results of the con¬
tinuous work and drill being given
them by Dr. J. B. Longwell. Some
fond of scrimmage work is being done
every afternoon in addition to the
other training being given the play¬
ers. According to Dr. Longwell
ц
the
outlook Is slightly better now than It
was two weeks ago, but there still
looms up a troublesome weakness in
the back field. Many faults, large and
small, must be remedied between now
and the Anbum game, which is less
than two weeks off.
“It is rather a disadvantage tq have
the Auburn game for the first one this
season. If the team had some light
opponent to meet Instead of the A1
team that Auburn will be sure “to have
at Rickwood October 7, I believe it
would be better for It,” said Dr. Long-
well. “It means that the whole squad
will have to work harder. It must
fight as it never fought before, and
must keep up the fighting spirit and
dogged determination."
Practice is steadier now than it has
been, but still many of the reserve
players miss an afternoon occasional¬
ly. This, according to Dr. Longwell,
must be done away with and all the
candidates for both teams must report
in uniform every afternoon possible.
'It is expected that the team will
work more steadily now. Price Clay¬
ton, who has made several trips with

FIR8T MEMBERS OF CLUB
ARE TO BE CHOSEN TODAYw
Twelve or fifteen members of this
season’s Glee Club will be selected -
from the Chorus this afternoon, is the
announcement made by Robert Law¬
rence, Director. The Chorus will meet
in the studio in the Y. M. C. A. Build¬
ing for the first time.
The Glee Club Is being selected
earlier this year than last because-
the trips have been arranged for
earlier dates.
“You students and friends of How¬
ard College are certainly going to be-
proud of this year’s club,” said Mr.
Lawrence, “and you, are going to be»
boasting about what a Glee Club yoix
have. Those fellows are certainly go¬
ing nicely. Where It tooka week of
training last season the students take
up the music and go right along with
it the first time. It’s Howard's and
it will be great. Just a little patience
and you may see and hear for your¬
self.” • ■-
FIFTY STUDENT8 TAKING
DIVINITY WORK AT HOWARD.
It Is Greatest Nutnber For Ministry
In Any Year.
Fifty divinity students are registered
at Howard College this session, break¬
ing all records for attendance of di¬
vinity students at this Institution.
This means that about one-fourth of
the members of the student body are
preparing to enter the ministry.
“This increase is particularly grat¬
ifying when It Is taken into account
that we have abolished the high
school department," aaid Dr. J. A-
Hendricks. Faculty Chairman of Re¬
ligious Life. “We have always had
a good number of divinity
our high School courses."
