BRAZIL DAILY NEXVS, SEPTEMBER 1, 1925. New Basketball Coach For Brown. Brown College has closed a con- tract with John C. Fast to coach their next year's basketball team. Fast comes well recommended. He has had considerable exper- ience, playing one year of high school ball in Brazil, four years of college ball with Indiana Dentals, and since his graduation from that institution has been coaching a fast semi-pro team in Chicago. By the employment of Fast the Athletic Board of Control hopes to change the usual program of defeats into victories for Brown. Here is Some Bowler. One man has been doing some great bowling at the Elk's alleys this week. This man is Mack Gumm. He has bowled seven- teen games this week with scores over the two-century mark. He broke all records Thursday night when for four games he averaged 294. His games were 300, 296, 292 and 288 for the evening. His average for the week is 286. Noted Speaker Coming Dr. Uzzie Phillips, B. A. P. D. Q. B. C. M., will give his famous lecture, The World in a Nut- shell at the Chautauqua this summer. Dr. Phillip's lecture is said to be very entertaining be- cause of its dry humor. We are sure the people will be pleased to hear Dr. Phillips again as he is well known here, having formerly been pastor of the United Brethern Church of this city. Track Record Lowered ln the I. A. U. track meet held at Harmony last week, Will Pick- ett, running under Harmony University colors, ran the 100 yard dash in 972 seconds. The former record was 93A seconds. This is not the first record broken by a H. U. man. About twenty-five men and women went through here to-day from different localities near here, enroute to eastern countries where they will take up missionary work. Among them were Misses Irene Stinson and Vivian Hughes of this city, who will go to India. They have been studying for several years to be missionaries and de- cided that there was a larger field for their work in India than in any other country. -1915 Teachers Institute The Teachers Institute for the Summer Term was held at Ind- ianapolis yesterday. Two lectures were given after the business hour was over, by Miss Mary Wolfe, teacher of English, at Butler Col- lege on the subject of The Value of the English Course in High School, and by Miss Emma Stewart on the Average Work of a High' School Student. Miss Stewart is teacher of math- ematics in the Staunton, Ind. High School. New Kindergarten A new kindergarten class has been started at Harmony, Ind. Miss Inez Nussel and Katherine Muncie who have been studying this work at Indianapolis will be the teachersl

Zeller hrst grad- uated from DePauw and then went to Boston where he studied two years. He then accepted the pulpit of the First Methodist Church at Harmony, Ind. The people of Brazil consider them- selves very fortunate in procuring Rev. Zeller. Contract Taken 1 Mr. James Seybolde Adams, President of the Brazil Chamber of Commerce announced to-day that his firm, the Shattuck Con- struction Co. has taken a contract to completely pave the Old Trails Road through Indiana and Illinois. The work will be started im- mediately. Suffrage Meeting The Suffragettes held a very interesting meeting at their head- quarters last night. Several speeches were made by the differ- ent workers of the suffrage move- ment. They also elected dele- gates to send out to different places to boost for Miss Gaar 'I urner, who is running for Repre- sentative of this district on the Republican ticket in the coming election. The following were elected: Willia Pack, Ethel Logs- don, Nelle Lucas, Lucy Cutshall and Gladys Brown. After the meeting the Suffraget- tes led by Miss Turner and Anna O'Dowd, Mayor of Turner, Ind. marched west on National Ave., carrying large banners which bore the inscription of Votes for Women and Vote for Gaar Turner. At the corner of Meridian and National Ave., a large crowd had gathered and here the parade stopped and Mayor O'Dowd gave a speech telling Miss Turner's platform. The crowd seemed very much impressed by this speech and it seems as though Miss Turner has a fair chance for the election. School opens next week. The enrollment will be larger then ever.
