ATHLETICS. Football at the A. & M. College. Every college and most schools now have footl.all teams and in the fall football certainly take as much a hold on the mind of the average col lege boy, if not as much work, as his regular college duties. -The A. & M. college being a new one it has not yet. developed a team strong enough to cope with those of the universities but it is rapidly improving in this line every year. The A. & M. team last year was particularly successful and took the scalps of the Oak Ridge uni versity second eleven and university of Tennessee team. The captain is a Raleigh boy, Joel Whitaker. The candidates for the team are already in training and this year he says he will do even more with his team than b did last year. Football is a manly sport and should be encouraged. The A: & M. college since its opening has been wonderfully successful And it is fitting that it should be up to the times in athletics also. The time is not far distant when the games be tween the A. & A. team and the uni versity will attract much interest and as big a crowd of any other two col leges in the state. The Weather Report.
