Tuesday, April 11. Davidson-A. A M. The big college game of the sea son. And it will be a bummer. David on, by defeating Richmond yester day, has fire straights to ber credit, while A. ft M. has not been letting the grass grow under her feet. The game, which is one of the most important on the schedules of the two colleges, was secured for this city to give the fans a chance to see some real college ball and with the proper support for' this game other college games can se cured. Much interest is being shown in every-section of the county and from present indications many dele gations of the alumni of the two col leges will be here from the sur rounding counties. With one exception the Davidson line-up will include last year's let ter men, while the A. ft M. line-up will include WinBton and Evans of the "Bugs" with Lee Correlle as coach. In the line-up furnished by the manager of A. ft M., Correlle is included with the team but be will hardly be permitted to play any po sition in the game here. Alford,. the star of the Richmond game yesterday, will be behind the bat for the Presbyterians; Saunders will hold down the first pillow; Johnson, the second stalon, and Wood will hold his old position ai short. Joe Black, of football fame, is holding the "hot corner" for the second season, and Brown, Walker, Keesler and Younger, will hold down the field positions. The pitch ing staff this year includes Lawson and Hen ge weld, with a possibility of Lawson tossing the pill in the game Tuesday. Both teams are well-matched and the bame will be interesting and ex citing from beginning to end. The general admission has been placed at 23 cents for this game which is less than has been customary for col lege games heretofore. "Should a Mother Tell 7". Broad way today.
