THE HERALD-DEMOCRAT, GREENCASTLE. INDIANA
Greencastle is the winner in the Greencastle High Rockville High school sectional tourney game. The game, at first awarded Greencastle by Referee Hayh and Umpire Henley, officials in the recent sectional tourney held in the DePauw Gym, and then called a tie game and an over time period ordered, in which Rockville won, caused much comment at the time of the tourney. After winning thi s game Rockville was defeated in the finals by Russellville. Officials of the Greencastle High School filed a protest with the State High School Athletic Association and the hearing of the protest was Saturday morning. The time keepers, after Greencastle had been awarded the game, contended that the revolver had failed to fire at the time limit and that several seconds were passed before the timekeeper could fire the revolver, As Greencastle made a goal just before the revolver was fired the officials, after ruling that the goal counted, and awarding th e game to Greencastle, changed their decision The change in decision, however, came several hours later and an extra period was ordered in which Rockville won. Copple of Roachdale and Crodia n of Bainbridge were the time keepers The State officials today ruled that the last goal counted as the revolver had not been fired when the ball was thrown; that the timekeeper had given no intimation hy word of mouth of gesture that the game had endor gesture that the game had endthe extra overtime period should not have been ordered and that the game was officially over when the revolver sounded.

fly control campaign
NEW COACH THROWS PEP INTO DE PAUW CAMP BY SPEECH
The Red Cross organization of Putnam county is starting a fly control campaign over the entire county in the near future. The organization wishes to impress upon the people, both in the town s anj in the country that the time of fly breeding is rapidly approaching. Concerted action in the matter of fly control is earnestly desired One resident in the county may prevent fly breeding on his premises, but it will avail him little if his neighbor has large breeding places on his land. Perhaps his neigh bor has never been awakened to the danger from flies and the posibility of getting rid of them. The State Board of Health will send him any amount of information concerning the fly and the county Red Cros s will b e glad to help him If every man, woman and child could be made to realize that the fly is not only an annoyance but a real danger as a carrier of many germ diseases, the fly control campaign would b e otfer today Few do realize that the fly “gets into everything walks over everything, and feeds on or at least tastes everything. Germs may be take n up on the hairy pads of the feet from excrementitious matter, expectorations, or other waste and may be carried to food or directly to j the individual. And yet the fly seems harmless But is it harmless when it carries typhoid cholera dysentery, diarrhea of infants, tuberculosis, diphtheria, scarlet fever and in fact any communi cable disease? Is it harmless, when from April to September a female flv will have 5,598,720.000,000 descendents ? An article on Breeding Places of Flies will appear next week.

The naval vessels followed out exactly the same tactics as were employed in war time s for hunting submarines. Pigeons Bring Messages In the balloon with Wilkenson, whose home is in Houston Tex. were Russell V. Eland of Belleville* 111 Edward L Kershaw of Rayne La.; John O. Elder of Lebanon, N Y., and William H. Trefrey of Salem, Mass. The balloon in which the five men left here at 5 o’clock Tuesday afternoon was a 35,000 cubic foot craft Besides the men and ballast, two pigions were carried. One of these returned to the air station 9:30 o’clock yesterday morning with a message which had been started nearly twenty four hours before. The second pigeon returned that afternoon after it, too, had bee n twenty four hours on the way. The last message gave the position as twenty miles off St. Andrews bay with the drag rope in the water and all supplies exhausted At that time the wind was on shore and the balloon was slowly drifting
northward.

An enthusiastic banquet was held Wednesday in the Bowman gymnasium by the fraternity men of DePauw university Coach Fred Walker was the center of the interest and his enthusiastic talk put a splendid climax to the occasion. The banquet was attended by more than 300 men, long tables being placed in the gymnasium for the feast.

After short speeches were given by a representative from each of the fraternities Chares Bamaby, a citizen of Greencastle and one of the trustees of the university, spoke to the me n on “Loyalty to one’s school.’ Then Fred Walker was introduced. The 300 men arose and for several minutes made the hall ring with cheers for the new athletic leader. His talk was one of the “up and at ’em” kind. In opening hig talk he said: “Why should we wait five years to knock the daylights out of such schools as Illinois and Notre Dame in football when we can do it in a year. I have always gone on the theory: If a man can build a house in one year, why take two years to construct it?” Praises Students Mr Walker praises the spirit of DePauw students and especially of its alumni. He said that in all of his experience in college work he had found the spirit at DePauw the best. This statement was followed by prolonged cheering “We don’t want a quitting team,” continued the speaker. We’re going to have a fighting team and the only way we can obtain one is to have a strong team, an enthusiastic student body and a spirit thaf will never say die,” In closing he said: “I hope that I may be able to run true and straight to the ideals you have set for yourself and for me. May I not fail you is my prayer Thank you for this wonderful reception Now let us get to work ”
RARE TREAT TO BE OFFERED BY VACHEL LINDSAY i|
CASTOFF GALOSHES AND •SLICKERS’ ROUT EASTER GARB
Hopes for an Easter Sunday “fashion parade” literally were drowned yesterday when Greencastle awoke to see windo w panes clouded by tha deluge promised by the weather man. With deep sighs the more timid ones folded away the laid out finery while the hardier hearted put on their galoshes, wrapped themselves in rain proof coats, and, with spring hat s and bonnets concealed by dripping umbrellas, followed th e puddle-beset paths toward the various places of worship. Bedecked or unbedecked—i n either case bedraggled—a large percentage of the population filled the churches at every service. But the streets, usJ ually thronged on Easter Sunday with beautifully gowned women anj immac ulately clothed men, were almost deserted the entire day.

Theodore Leroy Herbert th e oldest of the three children of Leroy and Grace May Herbert was born near Stilesville in Putnam County, Sept. 10 1916. Died March 20, 1921, age 4 years, 6 months and 10 days. So young and yet these four and one half years were long enough for him to so grow into the lives of these bereaved parents that they feel their sorrow is greater than they can bear Whe n two years old he renamed himself and since then he was so called by his parents and friends He was so kind and thoughtful of his little sister and even during the short hours of his suffering he spoke of riding her in his little wagon and asked if he had n °t been good to her His ever planning for the future in his childish way, so impatient to be a man. His eagerness to go to school. His sowing every penny that was given him and saying over and over they were to buy an appl e tree when he was a big boy. These are only a few things that will ever be cherished in the memory of the father and mother. We do not know Gods plan s but we do know that what ever He does do it is foi the best for He who loves Him Jesus tells unles s ye become as a little child ye cannot enter the Kingdom of heaven. Theodore is with God in his Heavenly Home, pure, sweet and happy “There is no flock however watched and tended But one dead lamb is there! There is no fireside howsoe’er defended, But has one vacant chair ’’
