day, falling before the boys from
the mountains 13 to 19. In win
ning the game Weaver annexed the
junior college championship of

by holding ithe strong mountain
eers to such a close score, and
keep peace with them during the
whole game. Weaver scored the
last touch down in the last three
minutes of play.
'Payne, Rambler’s halfback, prov
ed to be Weaver’s nemesis. Dur
ing the first half he ran through
the Weaver line at will. However
the mountain tornado showed their
superiority by making a wonder
ful comeback in the last half. Vin
son, Weaver’s versatile quarter
back ,was the prnicipal gro'und
gainer for the tornado. The moun
tain boys passing combination con
sisting of Robinson and Jordan dis
playing' some beautiful work, com
pleting 8 out of 15 attempts. The

OAK RIDGE WINS IN
THRILLING BATTLE
Morganton, Nov. 17.—^The flying
Cadets of Oak Ridge overwhelmed
Rutherford College on Memorial
field here today 47-14. The Ridg-
ers displayed a defensive rarely
seen in prep school games. How
ever they found a stubborn resist
ance in a Rambling team. The
Cadets became .the aggressor from
the outset. Scoring one touch
down in the first quarter and two
in the second quarter. The Ram
blers retaliated with a touch-down
in the second quarter.
Rutherford College received the
kick-off on the ten yard line and
after one play punted to Allmand
who was downed on the 45 yard
line. Rutherford intercepted a
pass but could not gain and kicked
to Tyson on the 35 yard line. The
four horsemen then got together
and carried the ball to the one foot
line where Tyson went through the
line for the first score.
This same brilliant quarter ad
ded two mo're touchdowns to their
total before a beaten but stubborn
Rutherf ord called a halt. With the
aid of Payne and a well-placed
punt, the Rambler team carried the
'ball to the one-yard line where
Hunter went through the line for
a touchdown. It was the first
time' for this season that the last
white lin eof Oak Ridge.had been
crossed.
The remainder of the game OaV
Ridge showed superiority 'excep,t
when Smith dashed 90 yards
for a touch-down, after intercept
ing an Oak Ridge pass on his own
10 yard line. It was a beautiful
run, in fact the prettiest ever seen
in Morganton.
The playing of Captain McDade
in the line for Oak Ridge and the
running of Smith and Payne for
Rutherfrod were the outstandine
features of the game.
CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
Into a world whose history is
darkened by sorrow and tragedy
the light entered with the shining
of the star of Bethlehem, and the
birth of Jesus_Christ. The coming
of the light into the world ushered
! in the first Christmas, and from
j that day until now gifts have been
exchanged, festivals have been
held, and celebrations have been
made in commemoration of the
great change, the expected relief
of bondage.
Christmas, the day which is un-
versally celebrated, is a divine ap
peal. The birth of Christ was an
nounced by the band of angels and
celebrated by the angelic choir.
They sang and celebrated because
they were bringing a message be
yond all human endeavour and
power. The angels were telling of
the unspeakable gift that had been
given to the world for its peace
and happiness.
Not many people eevr stop to
think what the true Christmas
spirit really is. For years Christ
mas has been celebrated in a very
boisterous manner. Many people
have a mistaken idea of Christ
mas, believing that they must have
great festivals and great celebra
tions, but people who think seri
ously think that Christmas is a
time for reverence, peacefulness,
and joy. Christmas is a time which
brings to one’s mind the period of
emancipation of the people of the
world. Consequently, people should
have a correct attitude toward this
great universal holiday.
During the first Christmas there
was great joy, great happiness,
throughout the world. There peo
ple gave gifts to the Child Jesus,
and later gifts were given to one
another. Our first Christmas brings
to mind the fact that the great
est gift that has ever been known
was given to the world. This val
ued gift was in the person of
Christ. In the meantime, the gift
was given in the right attitude.
Today there ds an exchange of
gifts. People give gifts to one an
other, but many times they are
given in the wrong attitude, and
the giving is of no'^eal value. In
order to make a person happy by
giving him some gift, he must
give in the right spirit.
One shodald think of the value
and significance of the holiday
which is known as Christmas. To
some this day means nothing ex
cept a period of worldly pleasure.
Such people get no real value and
joy from Christmas. They cele
brate something of which they
know nothing. If the reality of
Christmas could be seen by every
one, the Christmas celebrations
would be entirely different from
what they now are. ,

ANGELS ’N’ DEVILS
We regret very much that
the pestiferous RECORDING
ANGEL had a second coming
several mornings ago. It was
entirely destructive, in bad
taste, and was not even clev
er, and deserves to be thor
oughly denounced by all right-
thinking students.
Of course, however, there
are few things so bad that
there is no good whatsoever in
them. If any good can come
from the ANGEL, the perpe
trators do not deserve any
credit for it, for obviously
their motives were evil; but if
there is any truth in the ac
cusations that the spurious
publication made, nd doubt
they will be regulated at once,
thus making it double unne
cessary for a third appear

''balls uv fi^^ refl^as chain lightnin’.
't'^creassarnry, ySi^ity, jumped logs
twenty foot high, clarin’ thick
bushes, and brushheaps, deep gul
lies, and branches. Again I looked
back, thinkin# I had sartinly left it
a log gap behind. And whait do
you think? By jingo! he’s heardly
begun to run—jist gettin’ his hand
in. So I jist put flatly down again
faster than uver. ’Twasn’t long
afore I run out’n my shirt, then
out’n my britches—'luther britches
at that—then away went my draw
ers. Thus I run clear out’n all my
linnen and half a mile afore I got
home; and, thinks I, surely the tar-
nul sarpunt are distanced now.
But what do you think now ?
Nebuchadnezzer! there he were,
fresh as a mounting buck jist scar
ed up. I soon seen that wouldn’t
do, so I jumped about thirty-five
foot, screamed like a wildcat, and
’creased by velocity at a monstrous
raite. Jist then I begun to feel my
skin split, and, thinks I, it’s no use
to run out’n my skin, like I have
out’n my linnen, as huming skin
ar.e scrace, so I tuck in a leetle.
But by this time I’d run clean
beyant my house, right smack
thorugh my yard, scaring Molly
and the childering, dogs, cats,
chickens — uvry thing — half to
death. But, you see I got shet uv
my inimy, the sarpunt, for it had'
respect fur my house, ef it hadn’t
fur my face and eyes in the
woods. I puffed, and blowed, and
sweated ’bout half an hour afore I
had wind to tell Molly and the
childering whait were the matter.
Poor old Bucksmasher staid sev
eral days in the woods afor^ I could
have the pluck to go arter him.”
“Gentlemen, I thank you,” Mr.
Roper said.
