Decatur High School Starts Foot-ball Practice

28 CANDIDATES REPORT TODAY CN FIRST CALI Great Season Seen As Local Gridders Gather For First Drill FIVE HOME GAMES ARE ON SCHEDULE More than two tons of football material, totalling 28 boys greeted Ccaches Ralph Tyndall and Herb Curtis at the Decatur high school at 10 o'clock this morning and imrnedlatcl’y football stock jumped from below par to a thousand or so in local sport circles. With more than a dozen boys yet to report, every indicafon points toward a real team this year with a real schedule for local fans to look forward to. One of the most satisfying incidents of the morning, was the fact that otg’y a few of the local school's gridiron candidates are seniors, meaning that the team will improve each year. Altout a third of the boys that reported this morning signed the register as freshmen. Every candidate showed signs of having worked during the summer vacation and a “rarin’ to go” attitude prevailed among the players and the coaches. Coach Tyndall, head football coach, read the rules to the boys and stated that any violation of the rules meant indefinite suspension from the squad. There will be two practices daily, one in the morning from 8:30 to 10:30 o'clock and an afternoon session from 3:30 to 5:30 o'clock. Training rules went into effect today, and all local sport fans have been asked to assist the coaches in seeing that the rules are not violated. As soon as the other players, most of whom are enjoying vacations out of the city, return, they will report to Coaches Tyndall and Curtis anil will be issued uniforms and placed under the same rules. “There are no ‘ifs’ nor ‘ands’ about it.” the two coaches asserted this morning. “Decatur's going to have a real footba'l team this year wtih real sprit.” Every played pledged himself to do his best for the high school, and indications are strong that Decatur will have one of the best football teams it has ever had. Veterans Are Back Among the old faces, who reported today, were such stars as Chester Reynolds. captain; Joe Krick. Roy Anadell, Carl Berber, Bill Bell, Robert Kiess and a dozen or so others. Material is plentiful for every position, and competition wH be such that no player will feed sate of his position on the first team. The first practice was held th/s afternoon at 3:30 o’clock on Ahr’s, field, east of Decatur. The first week will be devoted to the funda-, mentals of the game and inspiring ta'ks.

Plenty of them are advertised that way. And plenty of them have disappointed smokers who tried them out. Not strange that many men shy at fivei cent sellers. But there is a cigar at that price which really satisfies. There is a cigar at that price which is made of rich, ripe tobacco. A fragrant, i mild and mellow cigar which has appealed to particular smoking men for thirty years. The name, is Havana Ribbon. » Havana Ribbon couldn’t please you more if it cost twice as much. And it would cost much more if it wasn’t made in tremendous volume. Say “Havana Ribbon" to the man behind the counter at any cigar store. • All you need is a’ single nickel and a little faith. Your reward will come when you light up!
