Brooks, Pastor Vol. X BISHOP W. T. VERNON.S LABORS AMONG THE "OTHER SHEEP" IN SOUTH AFRICA By Rev. J. Y. Tantsi, B. D. When I, with the character of this sketch twenty-five years ago, walked about the campus at Wilberforce university as theological students, he then a brilliant young man from the western states of America and I, a South African missionary student, my wildest imagination did not picture us laboring together in South Africa in after years—he as a bishop and I as pastor and presiding elder. "But there is a divinity that shapes our ends" and whither Providence ordains we must go and labor. The intervening years present a full record, and then it was my pleasure to be a delegate to the general conference of 1920 and vote for his election to the bishopric; as a member of the episcopal committee I urged his assignment as bishop of South Africa. His wife (then Miss Emily Embry) was also my schoolmate and we South Africans hailed with joy their coming to this subcontinent to labor for and among our people, to lead, inspire, direct and bless the children of Africa. Thoroughly and well have they done their work. The first two years' were for them years of suffering and trial; detained, imprisoned, misrepresented. His constant and unyielding ailments here were a source of great anxiety to us. Many times he collapsed while traveling hundreds of miles from home, on the railroads, in locations and kraal; he never faltered, but kept going forward and bade us follow, showing a courage and determination that- amazed yet cheered and strengthened all. When he left us to return to America to secure medical attention and to plead for Africa, few believed he would ever return because of his physical condition. He kept in touch with the work by extensive correspondence and though our chieftain was ten thousand miles from the field of action, his hand was ever at the helm. We ever remembered his parting words as we watched him going aboard the vessel: "Look for us; we will return." And they did. He had done a glorious work before; he returned to crown these efforts with further direction, inspection and travel. Great conferences (Continued on Page 3.) - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 CLOSING OF SUMNER NIGHT SCHOOL Over 1,500 people tried to get into the Kansas City, Kas., high school to hear their closing exercises. Prof. Curry, the principal, and the teachers were delighted with the interest taken by the patrons. The following program was rendered: Song, "America;" invocation, Dr. Bronson; son. Ladies' Chorus; reading, "Higher Culture," Mrs. Waller, enceded; four literary class exercises, good; and class in arithmetic; chorus; exercise by cooking class, good; demonstration of carpentry, masonry, wall decorating and cabinet work, showing fine and useful furniture; ladies' quartet, "Last Night," enclosed; playlet, "Organizing a Department Store," by the commercial class, fine; saxophone duet, Messrs. Glass and Robinson; sewing demonstration. fine; dialogue, perfect speaking class, good; duet; demonstration, Simms garage; presentation of diplomas, Mr. Carlson, president of Board of Education; remarks, Superintendent Pearson; "Spring Song" by the chorue, fine. The following received diplomas: Rufus White, Louis Brown, Percy Hornbeck, Ben Sweather, Mrs. Mary Smith, Mrs. Hattie Washington, J. Harris, Clarence Spencer and B. J. Washington. Prof. Reynolds, who trained the singers, and all the other teachers deserve credit for the successful work with pupils ranging from 16 years old to 83 years old. The vast audience enjoyed the program and the order was perfect. DR. WILLIAMS BIG ENOUGH AT THAT. In last week's issue we spoke of the candidacy of Rev. Noah W. Williams and gave it as for the bishopric of the A. M. E. church; whose candidacy is for secretary of missions. But at that, we think our mentioning of the high honor placed upon him in last week's issue was where he belongs anyway. Dr Williams is one of the great men of the church and can make good in any place that is a man's job. Dr. Williams will entertain the General Conference in May at Louisville, he being pastor of Quinn chapel. Mrs. Nellie Smothers, sister to Mrs. I. Wood, was here from Tipton, Mo., school, where she teaches. She was at Metropolitan church Sunday.

Topeka, Kas., March 12.—Tuesday brought to the capital city hundreds of men and women of the best blood and brain of the rank and file of Kansas Republicans. It was a real Coolidge day and also a Mulvane day. And next November, there will be a national and state Republican day.

Congressman J. N. Tincher was made temporary chairman and then followed the various committees. Adjournment was made to reassemble at 2:20 o'clock. At that hour all delegates were in their respective seats. The temporary organization was made the permanent organization. A resolution to indorse President Calvin Coolidge was received with great applause, and also D. W. Mulvane for national committeeman. It took only one ballot to elect the seven delegates at large. They were, as previously announced: Wilbur Hawk, J. H. Stewart, Mrs. Minnie J. Grinstead, Mrs. G. W. Turner, W. J. Tod, C. S. Huffman and A. C. Jobe.

Dorsey Green, a prominent colored lawyer of Kansas City, received nearly 200 votes for delegate at large, although he was not on the regular convention schedule. Mrs. A. C. Mitchell of Lawrence, vice chairman of the state Republican committee, fell short of 221 votes of getting on the big seven. The one gerat nominating speech was made by Mr. Consadine B. Jenkins in nominating Dorsey Green. His speech took the convention by storm. Rev. J. C. C. Owens, presiding elder of the Parsons district, was at home a few days this week. He was one of the speakers on the program Wednesday evening of Sunday school patrons program, at First A. M. E. church.

Sprouting THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER This vast country ambraces many thousands of square miles in South Africa. The bishop has traveled from Table Bay to the Zambesi and from the Atlantic on the west to the Indian Ocean on the east. Probably the outstanding achievements of administration have been the extension of the work into Nyassaland and the erection of a school, "The Emily Vernon Mission," in Basutoland. This school has been in contemplation for more than twenty years. It is now a reality. It is constructed of fine cut Basutoland stone and is located in the picturesque mountains of Basutoland. It will give opportunity for education to thousands of Basuto children in years to come. Bishop and Mrs. Vernon are due to reach New York via the White Star Line steamer "Majestic" March 25th.

Tampa, Florida, March 12.—Will you discover that I am still in Florida but will spend a few days out of the state, but will return again, and I hope you are going to be on the lookout for me, for I am going to have something to say about my going out and coming back. It is getting to be warm weather in and about the political world, but I am not in that just now. They are going to elect a president of the United States next fall, and the two big parties are warming up to their choice, and delegates are being elected to go to the front and speak for the people, and it will be left up to them to decide whether the delegates spoke wisely. Men and women will go to the polls next November and express their choice, and at the same time there will be two great churches dealing in religious politics next May and they will be called upon to make selections. Of course you know just what I am talking about. The African Methodist Episcopal church will be in General Conference in Louisville, Kentucky, and the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church will be in General Conference in Indianapolis, Ind., and both are to elect bishops and general officers, and of course that will make politics interesting. God has been busy calling men to episcopal honors, and if He has called all the men who claim that they have been called, then God will have to get busy calling men for pastors. I find in the list who have been called to be bishops are pastors, presiding elders and general officers. We will all watch and see if the men didn't hear the wrong call. It will be determined by the votes. In the African Methodist Episcopal church we have such men as Revs. John A. Gregg, T. J. Wilson, R. C. Ransom, A. L. Gaines, R. A. Grant, R. W. Mance, A. H. Hill, O. L. Moody, S. L. Green, J. N. Campbell, G. B. Young, E. J. Howard, S. D. Butler, H. A. Carr, J. C. Anderson, A. L. Gaines, John J. Morant, S. P. Felder, M. W. Thornton, W. H. Peck, W. H. Thomas, C. M. Tanner, W. H. Mixon, J. W. Walker, R. N. Newsom, J. A. Lindsay and some others whose names I do not remember, nor do I know many of them in the Zion church, but I do know that the Lord has called upon Editor Walls to lay down his editorial pen and take up an episcopal pen, and Dr. Jones, from Washington, and Brown in New York, and some others. (Continued on Page 4.) REV. G. F. DAVID, DELEGATE AT LARGE FROM KENTUCKY. Rev. George Franklin David of Lexington, Kentucky, has been elected as one of the delegates at large to the Republican National Convention, which meets in Cleveland, O., June 10th. Rev. David has been a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal church for more than thirty years, coming from the smallest of missions to the pastorate of the leading churches in the conferences of his state, and has been presiding elder for twenty years. Dr. David is a graduate of Payne Theological Seminary, Wilberforce University, treasurer of Turner College, Shelbyville, Tenn., and of Wilberforce University. Member of Federal Council of Churches, being a member of the executive committee. He is a great preacher and financier, ever found in the front ranks, in encouraging and coming to the rescue of the church and fallen humanity. This long service, sacrificing churchman is asking his church for their suffrage at the General Conference, which meets at Louisville in May for the office of secretary of Church Extension, and if elected the connection will never regret it. Mrs. N. Powells, 1016 New Jersey, is some better 'from her fall. Mr. Wm. McLaurance, brother, 119 Greeley, died this week. --- --- 1 PAGETWO THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Proprietor. THOS.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. The editor received a few days ago a letter from Mr. Geo. W. Brooks and family of St. Paul, Minn., which was very much appreciated. Mr. Brooks and his family are well known here and have many warm friends, who pleasantly remember them. Mr. Brooks was in the mail service here for several years and was transferred to the city in which they now reside. While living here he was one of the very active members in First A. M. E. church, and we notice from a weekly bulletin, "The Helper" of St. James church, he is just as active there, leading in a rally at the head of a club turning in $1,212.55. The family sends best regards to friends. The Advocate is their weekly letter. Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, is conceded by unbiased thinkers as one of the races and equal to those who have had the double doors of opportunity opened to them, most polished scholars. As an orator, it's doubtful if he has his peer as a philosopher on the American platform. Dr. Ransom's literary productions stand out, for thought and matter in words of pure English, with the greatest writers of today. As a preacher he has but few equals and has pastored many of the metropolitan churches in the connection of the African Methodist Episcopal church. Now after many years' service in the church, starting from Wilberforce University a number of years ago, accepting modestly, as he is yet today, the little church by the roadside, he is asking to be placed on the bench of bishops at the General Conference which meets in May at Louisville. If elected, which seems to be the spirit of the ones in whose hands he is calmly submitting himself, will add untold strength and dignity to the episcopacy. SUNDAY SCHOOL ENTERTAINS PATRONS. The officers and teachers of First A. M. E. Sunday school entertained its patrons with a fine musicale and literary program Wednesday evening in the lecture room of the church. The affair was greatly enjoyed by a representative number from the heads of homes, whose children are being instructed and taught those christian principles of Christ. Abundance of ice cream and cake was served at the conclusion of the program. Mrs. J. T. Simpson was mistress of ceremonies. IN SOCIETY AND CITY BRIEFs. Mrs. Ella Charles, one of the New Orleans prominent women, is visiting this week, Rev. and Mrs. C. E. Brooks, 1111 North Eighth Street. She is an old friend of the family.

The new budget system, that started the first of the year, to be a glowing success. Everything is being put in shape for the tenth annual Knife and Fork banquet, March 27th.

The Sunday school was well attended, considering the conditions of the weather also. The morning services were spiritual. The pastor's text: John 3:3, "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." Subject, "Necessity of Regeneration."

He proved that when once united with Christ's Spirit it is enough to carry us to God's kingdom and that once united to Christ's Spirit and living after it there is no such thing as having to go back and be connected or regenerated again and that God's grace is able to keep us unto salvation.

DORSEY GREEN, Atty. for Plff. (First Published February 29, 1924.) THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE BISHOP W. T. VERNON drawn and all restriction (Continued from Page '1.) have just closed, the greatest in the history of the church in South Africa. Mrs. Vernon brought clothing, shoes, books, etc., and together with additional things sent her from America has distributed among the poor and needy, the sick, the naked and those that sit in darkness. Added to these things were packets of medicine. May God bless her and bless the senders. The bishop has distributed our Sunday school literature among the workers, many of whom did not know we had a publishing house, and also held model Sundays schools in our group meetings so that all might return to their several fields and institute correct methods. The principles and policies of the church have been emphasized and disciplines generously scattered. During the sessions of the conferences and other annual gatherings, when the bishop would give his illustrated lectures on the home church in America, her mission fields and the progress of the Negroes in all lines of endeavor, everyone willingly lifted their burdens with greater confidence and determination. These are some of the reasons for the faith that is within me when I say that African Methodism is flourishing in South Africa as never before. Among the outstanding things done during this quadrennium is the beginning of our work in Nyasaland, British East Africa. Bishop Vernon has heeded the cry "Come over and help us!" We in South Africa can truly sing "The Church Is Moving On." Emily Embry Vernon Mission. Joyfully indeed can I tell of the work in Basutoland, a work that has been on our hearts for years. Bishop Vernon said in America, after he was assigned to this district: "Brother Tantsi, we will look over the field and by God's help if it can be done, I'll see it through." He did it. Some of the Mite Missionary workers of America sent over money to begin, and the bishop made two trips into Basutoland to get things under way before his trip to America, where he pleaded for more money. Some responded; others failed. However, the building was completed, the cost being much greater than originally planned. It is located at the foot of a great mountain facing a fertile valley, in the heart of Basutoland, constructed of cut stone which will last for generations. This means a new way, a high way, for the children of Moshoeshoe, founder of the Basuto nation. The "Emily Vernon Mission" is here and a promise made the Basutos many years ago is redeemed. "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow." At our recent conferences the following delegates were elected to the ensuing General Conference: Cape Colony Conference, Dr. F. M. Gow, Rev. A. W. Phigeland; Transvaal and Natal Conference, Revs. S. J. Mabote and B. D. Nojewka; Orange Free State and Basutoland Conference, Revs. J. Y. Tantsi and A. A. Mareka. Bishop Vernon noted that six men went to America four years ago; that our work has grown and numbers increased; our conference membership more than merits this number. We are happy to be among you and to represent our people. Bishop said we must sacrifice and manage to get to America without aid from the home church, for he believes the American people will aid us when we tell the story of our poor people here, as our presence and words will help to visualize the real situation. We in turn will be strengthened in our allegiance to the African Methodist Episcopal Church, inspired in our labors, cheered in our struggles and can thus return to our work in South Africa that calls to us from every town, "location" and kraal. The conference passed some important resolutions. Among these was one calling attention to the vital necessity of a theological seminary in South Africa, also asking support for a church organ to be published in the various native languages used in our church worship and community life. We also emphasized the long and faithful services of Dr. F. M. Gow, and prayed the General Conference to give him consideration at this coming session. I am herewith appending the following resolutions passed amid great enthusiasm: Whereas, the General Conference of 1920 in its wisdom assigned the Rt. Rev. William Tecumseh Vernon, A. M., D. D., LL. D., to this field of South Africa, the seventeenth episcopal district, and Whereas, he came to us with his family, thus demonstrating his zeal for the Master's cause, and was with them detained for three days while efforts were being made for their deportation; and Whereas, after making heroic efforts to land, they were allowed to enter the country on a temporary permit, which afterwards was with- drawn and all restrictions removed, so that the status of our church was securely fixed; and Whereas, during his incumbency he has traveled throughout the seventeenth episcopal district, comprising Cape Colony, Transvaal, Orange Free State, Natal and Basutoland, conducting the affairs of the district in a most admirable manner; and Whereas, he has enlarged our Institution at Evaton by developing the commercial course and establishing a music department and secured for the first time the consent of the government to inspect Evaton Institute and admit our students to government examination; and Whereas, his frequent visits to Basutoland have enabled him to rally the people and to erect the school long looked for by the people of that country, so that now the A. M. E. Church has an enviable standing there; and Whereas, on account of his wise and striking administration among us, the African Methodist Episcopal Church has been accorded a declared recognition by the government of the Union of South Africa so that we now enjoy harmony with the government and prosperity never before known; and Whereas, despite his serious illness and sufferings both here and in America, he returns as he said he would, to heighten this success and by virtue of his outstanding labors has been universally acclaimed "The Apostle to the Heathen;" therefore Be it resolved, by this joint session of the South African Conference now in session at Bloemfontein, that his administration be fully endorsed as a happy and fruitful one and we hereby declare to the General Conference now about to assemble in Louisville, Kentucky, that his state of health alone causes us not to petition his return for another quadrennium. Resolved that the delegation to said General Conference be instructed to make known our sentiment and desire to that effect. (Signed) J. Y. Tantsi, P. Williams, B. D. Nojekwa, L. L. Lethoba. Whereas, Mrs. Emily Embry-Vernon, B. S., devoted wife of our bishop, has spent with us the greater part of the quadrennium organizing and developing the work of the Women's Mite Missionary Society throughout the diocese, and Whereas, as a director of that branch of our work her services have been appreciated by all sections of our South African community and her Christian life has been upheld and admired by all elements, whether in our church or otherwise, therefore Be it resolved, that we place on record our approval of her mission as she has moved from Province to Province and from kraal to kraal, scattering as she went seeds of sunshine to many a benighted soul; Resolved that her memory shall ever remain as a living monument of self sacrifice and devotion to the service of God. (Signed): J. Y. Tantsi, B. D. Nojekwa, L. L. Lethoba, jekwa, B. L. Bentoba. Resolved, that we accord to our beloved bishop and his companion our undivided thanks for the many days they have spent with us. We have gained much and assure them as we scatter to our several homes, we shall ever carry with us sweet and pleasant memories of friends we have learned to love. (Signed): J. Y. Tantsi, B. D. Nojeka, P. Williams, J. J. Moataung, H. M. Nhlapo. We come to the General Conference with this in view: This field demands constant supervision. Whoever is assigned to this episcopal district is needed here and cannot do the work from the American side of the ocean. The great achievements of this quadrennium attest what is possible if he who comes remains to labor with his heart in the work. We here know what has been done. African Methodism in South Africa under Bishop W. T. Vernon's leadership is on the mountain top, a shining plain filled with enormous possibilities lies before us; the government recognizes us as never before: our great day of opportunity is at hand. On February 17th, the Emily Vernon Mission will be dedicated by the bishop. Addresses will be delivered by Paramount Chief Griffith of the Basuto nation, Col. Sir E. F. C. Garaway, the high commissioner of Basutoland and representative of the British Empire; Chief Sekhonyane Bereng. Thousands of Basutos will be present; it will be an epoch making day. Soon thereafter, Bishop and Mrs. Vernon leave for America; they are scheduled to reach New York via the White Star liner "Majestic," March 25th. The prayer and love of South Africa will be for and with them as they go. Bloemfontein, O. F. S. Scuth Africa. Earl D.

Hadley to give up the’ pastorate and be missionary secretaries, bu! the Lord can only use one of them and let us see*which one. Two 01 three men have heard God’s voice telling them to supplant Dr. G. W. Allen, but I am of the opinion wher the Lord wants Dr. Allen to give up the good work which he is now directing him to do, edit the South- ern Christian Recorder, then he is going to take Dr. Allen unto Him- self, and until that time, I would advise Drs. Claiborne, Harmon and all the rest to turn their eyes some other way, for the Lord can’t use them there. There are some others, Revs. S. J. Johnson, J. W. Hare, H. W. Jami- son, J. T. Hall, J. E. Beard and others who claim they are to suc- geed the late B. F. Watson. This may be so, but only one of them can be elected and it seems that the Lord is directing them to S. J. John- son. Dr. H. S. Sims, one of the best pastors in Texas, says that the Lord has revealed unto him that he should be financial secretary, and he is making the Lord’s will known to others. He is proclaiming it from the housetop and every other top, yet I don’t know just what has been said unto Prof. John R. Hawkins. Time will answer. The Lord has called upon Rev. C. A. Wingfield to take up the lit- erary editorial pen and rite for the A. M. E. Church Review, allowing the mantle piece of Rev. R. C. Ran- some to fall on him. We hope that such will be, for Rev. Wingfield has been a man to serve all as been the lot of Rev. J. A. Hadley. T have only mentioned a few of them, for now I must tell you that I am in Florida this week and have been associated with Bishop John Hurst and his wife, and believe me it is nice to be with them. He is a wonderful man, and is doing a great big work. I can’t see to save my life how such a little man can do so much work. Plenty brains, or in other words he has filled his brain cells with thoughts of God, and has placed himself where God can use him and he is being used for the glory of God and uplift of man. His wife is right by his side. I am) proud to hear the good things the ministers and others are saying about them down here in Florida. I will be with him next week, and will send you a letter about the work. God help me to live to do so. | I have been looking for a letter from President W. H. Jarnagin of the National Race Congress telling me that the executive committee de- cided to hold the next session in Washington, D. C., April 30, but it has not reached me yet, but I would suggest all of you who are going fo attend this big meeting to keep your eyes on the date and prepare for it, and it is not then, it will be the next week. Grand Master David D. Powell has sroclaimed that the Masonic Grand Lodge will be in Jacksonville April l, and I am bookéd to be there, and nay yet get the other part of the| nitiations. I still have ringing in| ny ears the password, “Liver Onions ind Bacon.” I am one of the most} ememberingest men in the country.| vet the good work go on.

It is worth the while and if you don’t believe it just get some of the literature. Go to Hot Springs National Park and see that great bath and sanitarium, and then the office building being erected. I have had the pleasure of stop- ping in the home of that great Bap- tist preacher here, Rev. G. D. Grif- fin, of Beulah Baptist church. There is not much fuss made about it, but Dr. Griffin is one_of the best preach- ers and all-around pastors in this country. He goes to his people with thought every Sunday and that thought seasoned with the Spirit of Christ. He takes the time to pre- pare for his work, and when he preaches he puts the best there is in him in every sermon whether the congregation be large or small. Then when he was looking around for a companion, he went to God and He directed him to a well balanced, well trained woman, They have been blessed with two sons and one daugh- ter and all of them are now in school in St, Augustine, Florida, getting ready to serve the people and fol- low in the footsteps of father and mother. I want to congratulate the Rev. Dr. M. W. Thornton, pastor of Bethel A. M, E. church, New York, for preventing a ‘few office seeking men from destroying him, and say- ing to the world, “My character is my all,” and if you touch it you touch my life, and it must be de-! fended.” They are trying to keep him from being a bishop, but they had just as well try to*stop the flow of the Mississippi. I will talk about it later. You have heard about the Baptists and what they are doing? That building in Nashville is being pushed to a finish. They are now all up with the iron framework, and are closing it in. It is getting to be a great building, and I am proud of the work of Dr. A. M. Townsend, the secretary, who is supported in full by Dr. L. K. Williams. God bless them all. I will have to bring this letter to a stop. A letter will reach me at 357 South Scott street, Mobile, Ala.,| for a.few days next week. . I am glad to know that Mrs. Nor- ene Davis, the grand worthy coun-} sellor of Kansas, is improving.

In a crowded house of students and friends, the Western Baptist College defeated Western University in de- bate, in the latter’s chapel Thursday evening, March 6th. The decision of the judges was unanimous. The ques- tion debated was: “Resolved that Governor J. C, Walton was justified in his acts in the state of Okla- homa,” Western College having the negative. Marshalling an array of facts from all kinds of sources, the representatives of the Baptist Col- lege proved too redoubtable for the debaters of Western University. The Western University team based its argument wholly upon Governor Wal- ton’s action against the Ku Klux Klan, whereas the Baptists adhered strictly to the question that the acts of the governor were unjustified, re- gardless of the Klan. Seventy-five of the Baptist College students, ac- companied by many of the faculty, attended the debate. A very delight- ful program of music was provided for the occasion by Western Univer- sity. Though sympathy ran high on both sides for their respective teams, a fine feeling of relationship existed throughout between the two groups of students, Western University ten- dered a social to the visiting students and teachers’ following the program. Former Mayor Burton occupied the platform, in company with President Richardson of Western College and Dr. F. J. Peck, president of Western University, presiding officer. The judges were Prof. R. A. Raredon, Prof. J. P. King and Prof. G. M. Gresham. P.-T. A. NOTES, The Douglas school Parent-Teacher Circle met Wednesday, 3 o'clock.

Lawrence had come for revenge on Western, having lost to Western the beginning of the sea- son on their own court. The first half theh score was tied, the second half Lawrence nosed out a lead and kept it until the end of the game. The final score was 21 to 17 in favor of Lawrence, WESTERN UNIVERSITY LOSES DOUBLE HEADER TO LINCOLN Lincoln High won two of the hard- est fought games of the season Wed- nesday in the Paseo Y. M. GC, A. gymnasium from Western university. The first game was between the girls. The game was fast and full of pep. Lincoln took the lead in the beginning and held it until the final whistle. The first quarter ended 5 to 2. The second quarter ended 8 to 4, The last half Western came back and threatened Lincoln’s lead. With Lincoln leading by two points, West- ern missed seemingly sure shots, which brought the fans to their feet. When the smoke of battle cleared away Lincoln was still leading by two points; final score 18 to 16. The game between the boys was a flash and full of thrills throughout. From the tip off Western worked the ball to their basket and the Bull- dogs’ forward, Kennedy dropped it in. It seemed then as if the aggre- gation from Quindaro had come back for venegance on Lincoln, After al- ternating a few shots between the teams Western took the lead and held it until about a minute before the close of the first half, when Shepherd, Lincoln captain and for- ward, intercepted a fast one and poured it in the basket. The first half ended 18 to “11. With the sec- ynd half came Penn, Lincoln’s for- ward and pep giver, with the Bull- logs fighting with the old Western pirit and Lincoln with her usual yep of the last half made the game nore than interesting. The half Josed 34 to 14 in favor of Lincoln. By L.
