  • The Epworth League The Epworth League gave a very interesting and helpful New Year's program on Sunday, January 10. This being the first progrom of the year, much was said regarding New Year resolutions. Four of these we wish to pass on to the public: I resolve to be the "Captain of my soul" this year—to be the Commander in my own mental kingdom. I will have nothing to do with fear, worry, timidity and vacillation. I will cut out of my life all low- flying thoughts, ideas and habits— everything that is holding me back— robbing me of my opportunity to make the most of myself. I know that in my union with the Omnipotent God, I can do what I believe I can. This year I will cut out all trifling and concentrate steadfastly on the biggest thing I am capable of doing. I resolve that I will make my life something better—larger grander 'ban it has ever been before. The League as a whole made one resolution to do better work this year. The programs are to be brief and we hope always well prepared. We therefore, wish to urge the members to attend regularly and do their best to prepare the assigned topics. The sermons of Rev. Lynch after the League are very brief, interesting, and straight to the point. He is cooperating with the League in a fine spirit and often on a bad night we take the entire Church program. With the cooperation of the school we hope to show, in the near future, the Ten Commandments, a wonderful picture of Old Testament Periods. We have also planned picnics, socials and an outing in the proposed National Park of the Great Smokies as soon as the weather will permit. We wish to give a special invitation to the prospective teachers to join us. We hope you fully realize the position a teacher takes when she enters a new and strange community. The eyes of all the people are upon her. It is generally accepted that the teacher is second only to the parents in the rearing of children and undoubtedly first in the life of a community. Her work may be even greater than that of the minister for she comes in contact with more people and consequently more people follow her paths of influence. We, therefore, hope that you will not enter a new community without some knowledge of the things expected of you outside the classroom. The Epworth League is a standard institution offering you training that you will greatly need later. "Learn to do by doing." THE PRESIDENT. THE CULLOWHEE YODEL ATHLETICS In the second encounter of the season the Yodellers were defeated by the fast quintet of the Sylva High School. Almost evenly matched the game was a see-saw affair, both presenting a good offense. Close guarding forced both teams to long shots. The High School boys proved themselves more accurate at this and fin ally came out on the long end of an 18-24 score. The Sylva Collegiate Institute aggregation was next met and defeated after a hard fight. The local boys had not yet developed strong team work and also suffered the loss of Foster, still out from injuries sustained in football. In the first three quarters they alternated, neither team able to widen the gap by more than three points. With ten minutes to play and the score 18-16, W. Phillips started a rally in which he found the basket from all angles of the court. In as many minutes he caged five successive baskets. The final score read: Cullowhee 28, Sylva Institute 18. Christmas holidays having been extended from December 29th to January 5th, the boys were rushed back into the next game with only three days' preparation. The opposing team, the Sylva Ramblers, was made up of former college and prep school stars, and is perhaps the strongest in Western North Carolina. The game was played on the court of the Sylva High School, where, for the first half the fans were given a real exhibition of basketball. At its finish Cullowhee was trailing a 20-16 score. In the second half, however, the Cullowhee quintet, out of condition, was unable to keep the pace. Final score, Ramblers 40, Cullowhee 25. Two nights later the Normals again journeyed to Sylva, this time to return the game of the Collegiate Institute. Beginning with a rush the Yodellers maintained the lead throughout, finally winning, 28-17. Out of form and exhausted from a strenuous schedule, the "boys" were outplayed by Sylva High School team at Sylva the night following their victory over S. C. I. This was the second defeat of the season administered by the scrappy Sylva quintet and in each case their victories were clean cut and resulted from superior team work. Final score 31-20. What a whale of a difference one man can make! After losing to the Central High School, and with only one day's rest, the Yodellers were doped to lose the next contest to the Ramblers by at least 20 points. With a full line-up for the first time of the season, the Normals gave the fans a run for their money, losing by a one point margin, 31-30. The locals took the lead in the first four minutes and although several times tied, they never trailed. With only two minutes and the score favoring Cullowhee, 30-27, a crip shot by Dow- tin, former Mars Hill College star, and two free shots by Jones, formerly of Cullowhee and S. C. I., put the Ramblers on the long end of a 30-31 score. The girls team will start their schedule about the 25th. Miss Benton states several games are scheduled, the first three being Andrews, there; Canton, here; and Candler, here. The boys' team meets Canton High, Rutherford College and Candler High on the Cullowhee court during the next ^^•^♦^♦^•^•<•^•^•^^.:.^.^.^^.<..;..^.^^.•^..:.^.<..:..^.^.^.^.^.^^.^^.^.:..;.•^.^.^.^<..^.^•^<■^<••^•^^ Attention! * Every body is cordially invited to call at our place of busies, ness.
