HOW GRANDDAD FIXED THINGS UP. When I turn the leaves back over To my days of fourleafed clover. Grapevine swings and mumblepegs and strange fox fire. One scene I often times recall— ' How, from early spring ’til fall, Grandad used to fix up broken things with wire. Wired the coupling poles and spokes, Wired the harness when they broke; Wired the handle to the drawknife and the saw. Wired the double trees and plow Wired the bell upon the cow, Even wired Ids trousers up,— to save grandma. p The Fourth Down By Wille Pent The Yellow- Jackets are taking a rest before starting practice for the Logansport game, two weeks from today. Coach Howard is attending the I. U.-Northwestern game today. He will return Sunday night and Monday evening will hand out new signals for the Loganberry game. Pardon us, please, but we have a choice bit of basketball news. Jack Tceple, captain and star floor guard of last year's quintet is eligible for the team this year. .Tu« k entered high school during the second semester. The 1. H. S. A. A. rule states that a pupil entering high school at the beginning of the second semester and does not take part in athletics during that semester, is eligible for eight semesters of athletic competition, beginning the next semester. That boosts our basketball stock consider ably. Just think--Jack, Capt. Dorwin, Steel, White, Swearingen Farr. Lnmmitnan et al. Editor of the Fourth Down: Hunt ington, when they heard that D. C. H S. was defeated by C. C. H. S. of Ft. Wayne, by a score of 56-0, must have thought that D. C. H. S. did not have anything. We would like to show them. The D. C. H. S. team. That's the spirit, gang. We would wager that Huntington wouldn’t walk over D. C. H. S. like C. C. H. S. did. Although they have played only om game iu their lifetime. Conch Center’s men know something of the game.
