She stumbled by four of her ^ternest foes m the | fourth period, and three of them by the slender margin of a single : point. The committee may decide that after all it takes only a cham pion to do such a thing as that. Io defeat Tuskegee, Knox vile and Morris Brown is just about as met l torious as taking Clark.
