YES, SING OUR COLLEGE SENTI MENTS. (Continued from page 1) is a great truth and it would have mar velous effects on our team and the rooters if we only had a stadium in which to sing it The very deplorable appearance of our present assembling place for foot ball games is sufficient to dampen any previous stimulation the team and rooters might have had. Then a keen feeling of regret pierces every member of the Faculty and every student when we have great num bers of fans and no place to seat them while the standing accommodation is disa greeable; then realizing we have such a large number of Alumni who have not taken sufficient interest to vanish such conditions. Why not let the song continue to gladden the hearts of 300 students and focus your interest on a real necessity? Too, the chime clock is chiefly an Alum ni project. It has been installed over four years and it is less than half paid for. Relieve President MeCrorey of much wor ry by sending a donation to the Chime Clock Fund. In the meantime don’t forget the strug gling staff of undergraduiates' -who pub lished an Annual in 1928 and sold several good Alumni Brothers copies on- their cred it ■ Along with ■ President MeCrorey we would greatly’ appreciate"’ 'your "che'clc 'to cover same. - - ■ ■ " After all there are other things more distressing than pyj. Qollege j. ^oiig that need the care and interest of the Alumni. We are hoping and praying that our Alumni is going to pave the-way for us— prospective members of the Alumni—by putting over some necessary programs; but When our. Alumni measures up to .that pitch, if the song is then unsatisfactory, we will gladly ac ept criticisms and chang. es which are expedient 'and in keeping with a real college song, as Johnson C. Smith represents, the Smith of today is not the Biddle of yesterday and every student within her sacred walls glory in singing: (Continued from page 2) lor tightened on his proteges and ordered strenuous intensive drilling. Prospects for the season are not so bright. It is most of the men’s first year on a floor, although they have had pre vious experience. La Saine seems to be the ony one that resembles big time stuff and it will be around him that Coach Tay lor will develop his quintet. “Slim” Chris tian and “Red” Lindsay are the outstand- standing centers. These moon-fixers will battle it out for first string positions. Too much cannot be expected of the Bulls this season on the hardwood because knowledge of the game comes from experi ence and experience is lacking, but from what we know about Randy the Bulls will be represented by a vicious, hard-fighting five in each and every game. “We’re J.

M. C. A. the franchise over the reli gious services on the first and third Sun. day evenings in each month. Saturday evening, November 17, we had a very interesting program: Chariman, Mr. C. H. White; Prayer, Mr. W. S. Brinkley; Scripture Reading, Mr. J. L. Powell; ’Vocal Solo, Mr. W. M. Crawford; Report of the Y. M. C. A. by R. H. Lee: This was the report of the Conference which was held last June at Lincoln Academy, Kings Mountain, N. C. The report was very interestnig.. It was followed by an instru mental solo by H. M. Pitch. Another interesting program was held Saturday evening, December 7th. This being our last program this year, the whole stsudent body was enthusiastic over this program; Chair., C. C. De Vane; Prayer, M. L. Wyche; a spirited discourse by T. C. Griffin, subject, “School Spirit;” after which Scripture verses, songs and prayers were offered by the students. There were also interesting talks given by members of the Faculty. SPORT STATIC Thanksgiving Day saw Captain Steele don a Smith uniform for the last time. His career on the gridiron is something at which we wonder. He played in nearly all of - Smith's foot ball games for the past six years. He was a member of Smith’s wonder team of ’26. Only ten touchdowns were made against the team and neither of these was made-through the -line. Steele was a linesman, remember. •We 'wonder .'Why this fellow Somersett is seldom praised for his great work on the line.'' Somersett’s -’'tackling and blocking was superb. He chai’ged faster-than lany man on the team; yet he - was seldom brought"Up for praise. , They once said we were to have a Sta dium on the campus in time to play the big Easter Classic,, but that talk has died out. What has become of the Stadium Committee ? ? When will construction work on the Stadium begin? Here’s hoping this year will not find us making our annual donation for the support of the Charlotte Hornets. The Bull’s 1929 foot ball schedule will probably be published in the next issue of this paper. On account of Howard’s con nection with the C. I. .A. A. Howard may be dropped-from the schedule Rumor has it that Atlanta University and Bluefield Institute will’ be new comers on the sched ule.
