When we say a man or a woman we know is a thoroughbred, we pay to him or her the greatest compliment of which we are capable. There is not in the vocabulary of pleasant terms a stronger word. Visit a stock-farm, the home of high-grade horses or cattle, and you will see that the physical signs of the thoroughbred are fine eyes and an erect bearing. These are the symbols of a high, generous spirit. The keeper of the stock-farm will tell you that a thoroughbred never whines. One illustrated this to me by swinging a dog around by the tail. The creature was in pain, but not a sound escaped him. You see ” said the keeper, “They never complain. It ain’t in ’em. Same way when a stable burns. It ain’t the best horses that scream when they’re burnin’. It’s the worst.” All this is quite true of the human thoroughbred. The visible signs of the invisible spirit are the eyes that are steady and shoulders that are straight. No burden except possibly the weight of many years bends his shoulders, and his eyes meet yours in honest fashion, because he neither fears, nor has been shamed, at the bar of his own soul.’ : > ■i I He never complains. He keeps his troubles to himself, having discovered, as thoroughbreds do, that to tell troubles is to multiply them, and to lock them in the breast is to diminish and finally end them. He never talks about what fate has done to him. He knows he is master of his own destiny. He never bewails the treatment he has received from another, for he knows no one can do him lasting harm except himself. —By Ada Patterson.

FOOTBALL Elkhart Defeats Riley 14-13 Riley charged ahead in the first period by a score of seven points. However, the Blue Blazers came back in the last half, scoring two touchdowns. Riley made a vain attempt to tie the game by scoring a down with only a few minutes to go in the game, but in trying to run for the extra point, she was stopped by Capt. Howdy Elliot ahd prevented from tying the score. Goshen Loses to Mishawaka, 7-6 Aided by a red-skin-fumble, Mishawaka scored in the first period, -adding the point after the toucndown. Goshen scored, but failed to tie the score with the extra point. Warsaw Ties Wabash Warsaw gained a tie with Wabash with a score of 7-7. Bota teams fought, but both scores were accomplished either by a bad punt or a fumble. Ball State Defeats Indiana Stele 13-9 Unlashing long runs, Ball State scored in the first and third periods. Indiana State scored in the second period on a line plunge, and scored three points on a field goal in the third, but was unable to combat Ball State’s score. Manchester Defeats Buffalo 21-6 Sweeping aside the theory that a team cannot win after a long trip, Manchester defeated Buffalo by a score of 21-6. Charley Beck, graduate of Syracuse high, did part of the scoring for Manchester. Forecasts of Coining Gaines Saturday’s games will bring plenty of excitement in Indiana. Purdue plays Fordham; Indiana plays Neoraska; Ball State plays Manchester, and Illinois plays Notre Dame. ,Os these contests. Ball State and Manchester will be attended by cc-i---ference fans. The winner of this game may be the winner of the conference. Notre Dame will try to defeat the Illinois machine which they pushed around last year to little avail. Elkhart is one of the few teams that has not been defeated as yet. However, there sure should be a battle when they tie into Goshen.

Things You Ought To Know

It happened the other day in Junior English class when the class was the accomplishments of young men. Lois K.: “I think men should learn to cook a little.” Adrian W.: “That’s what we get married for.” It seems that a certain Senior girl got quite angry Monday, when the Senior boys were teasing her. “We are very, very, sorry, Buddy Watkins.” In Health class last week when we were studying posture, Mr. Neff said that horses do not have to worry about posture because all oi the horses internal organs hang from the back-bone, thus keeping the horse in a good posture. Max Pollock then made the statement: “Horses die standing still.” Sometimes we wonder if you feel all right, Max. Would you believe that — A Scotch Bible printed in Glassgow in 1892 is half as large as a postage stamp?

Interest in Touch Ball Shown The boys have been showing considerable interest in touch ball lately. The Seniors have challenged the high school to a game, but there has been no response. Something wrong somewhere. (Maybe they saw the Seniors practicing.) County Baseball Finals Here North Webster, winner of the North District League and Silver Lake, winner of the South League, will play on the Syracuse diamond, next Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o’clock. The winner of the game will receive the county championship. Opportunity Room The pupils of the opportunity room have been making some health posters, using as their subject, “Drink Milk.” Carl Sawyer and Annabelle Droke have the two best health posters, beautifully colored. The latter part of the week, Mrs. Hess and the pupils will start preparing for their Hallowe’en displays.
