FIRST SHOOTER IN MARBLE TOURNEY HOLDSADVANTAGE National Champ Tells How He Lags to Win Opening Move. By MARLIN M OOT First National Marble Champion. Lagging is the tossing- or flipping of shooters toward a line to see who wiH shoot first. In J&nger. which is the official game of the National Marble Turnament, the turns of all the players are decided by the lag. The one coming closest shoots first, the one next closest taking second turn, and so on. Os course, the fellow who gets first shot at the marbles has an advantage, so lagging is important. There are two ways to lag. Some hoys toss their shooters while standing s*p, and others knuckle down and *rn.>r at the line. I nearly always knuckle down when I lag because that is the way I am used to shooting, and I think it is easier to make your shooter stop near the line than when you toss it.

He Would Beat Beaver 'Rosa Beaver beat me last year in the city tournament: but believe me, if I play with him again, I'm going to beat him ” declared Harry Waiflows ky, 11, of 1302 Union Si., today as he signed up for the Indianapolis Times annual marble tournament. “I watched how he played, Rnd T know just exactly how to beat him. I hope I have the chance to play him." Harry attends School No. 6. “I -believe the city champlion will he a boy from School No. 6," he said# Harry' may be right. What do you think about it? The city champion, at anv rate, is going to be the boy or girl who practices. Girls Are Formidable And, by the way, speaking of girls,' Harry Waidowsky believes the girls are going to be formidable foes of the i boya in this year's tournament. *‘l saw the picture of Thelma Ful ! kerson, of 1201 N. Olney St., in The Times the other day. Judging from the way she was shooting, she must be pretty good. I'm scared the girls are going to get ahead of us fellows in the tournament."

A man had a lot surrounded by a six-sided fence; every side of the fence was equal in length, so the field formed a perfect hexagon. Obtaining some property outside the lot, he decided to increase the area within the enclosure to six. times itswpresent size, still keeping the hexagonal shape. In other words, he desired a hexagon three times as large in area as the present one. How did he do it? ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE: “When bands are playing: The men ARE LED by a LEADER.
