or coaches. The Illinois code is:
“A true Illinois sportsman will
consider all opponents as guests,
and treat them with all courtesy
due friends and guests. Will ac-
cept all decisions of the officials
* without question. Will never hiss
or boo a player or official. Will
never utter abusive language from
the side line. Will applaud oppon-
ents who make good plays, or show
good sportsmanship. Will never try

seek to win by fair and lawful
means according to the rules of the
game. Will do unto others ts, he

Will win without boasting and lose

The students would do well to
abide by the Illinois code. Many
students forget to be sportsmanlike

A&P Grocery In
Ennis to Close
After Saturday
The A&P Grocery store in Ennis
will close Saturday night and their
stock will be moved. The store
was forced to leave Ennis due
to the fact that they lost their
lease on their buildjng.
The company stated, however,
that they are still trying to secure
a building in Ennis and plan to
reopen their store here just as
soon as possible. Pat Cosgrove,
who was formerly manager of the
store, accepted a job with the
Ennis State Bank recently when
it was made known that the store
would leave Ennis. He was offer-
ed another store by the company
but he prefered to remain in En-
nis.
The entire stock of the Ennis
store will he inventoried and mov-
ed to the Corsicana and Wiaxa-
hachie stores.
W. L. Pratt has leased the build-
ing and will take possession on
Tuesday, October 1st. He will
put a grocery store in the build-
ing. "
