Charles Miller, Richard" Byrket. Basketball. The high school basketball squad now twenty strong, under Mr. Neff, is practicing hard almost every day after school and also at night in the high school gymnasium to get into good shape for the opening game, Nov. 3. The boys are divided into two groups, those who are out for the first team, having been regulars on one of last years team’s, and the boys out for the second team. The first team is scrimmaging more than anything else to get into their stride and to produce team work and coordination although before a game they practice long and short shots. The second team is learning some of the fundamentals of the game, such as the art of dribbling, and how to make short shots: After practicing, the boys run around the gym backwards, forwards, and sideways for about one to 3-4 of a mile. This toug&lns leg muscles, increases agility and gives endurance. Nearly all of the players ■were stiff and core after the first few practices. Os course this is natural as none of them have played ba s ketball strenuously since last winter. Out of the 25 trying out for the teams 20 will be kept. They are Kern, LeCount, Stoelting, Byrket, Miller, Bell, Felts, Plank, Beck and O’Haver on the first team and Cook, Brower, M. Laughlin, Kroh, Baumgartner, Bertram, Slabaugh, Cullers, Gorden and Traster on the second team. There are a few changes in the rules this season. One of them is that the ball will have lesser reaction. That is, it won’t be so lively. When a player is technically fouled, his team may take possession of the ball at mid-court out of bounds after he has taken his free throw. That’s another change. (Season tickets for all Syracuse home games can be obtained from any player. The price is SI.OO for

Our school held that position most of last year and now we have a flying start for this term. Nearly all absence in our school the first month was inexcusable and unnecessary. Some of the reasons given on the excuse blanks were: working at the golf course; working at home; absent with my parents’ permission; out of town with parents on a vacation; and attending the County Fair, (in spite of a full day dismissed to attend the fair). This excess amount of absence has a direct bearing on the amount of Success a pupil has with school work. A pupil is not only greatly affected in the assignment on tire day‘absent, but is not prepared, and has lost connections with the work on the following day. This is one of the important reasns for low marks and failures at the end of the semester. We believe that if parents understood the results in school habits and sc wol marks of absence, they would be more ready to cooperate ■w ith the school by having children in school every day possible.—[-Contributed. LEGION AND AUXILIARY MEEMTNG OCTOBER 22 The American Legion Posts and Legion Auxiliary units of the Second district will hold their first district meeting of the new Legion year on Sunday, October 22, at North Judson.

1940 INDIANA PLATES ALUMINUM ON BLACK Indiana’s selection of colors for 1940 license plates, aluminum on black, are as yet unduplicated in the array of combinations which the 48 states and United States posessions have chosen, according to Charles M. Hayes, president.of the Chicago Motor club. Three states have not yet reported their colors. “Nearly every shade in he spectrum will be employed this coming year,” he said, “though white on black, white on blue, yellow on black and black on yellow are the most •popular, having been chosen by 19 states., F. L. Spatford, of Hartford, Oonn., brought suit aginst a dentist because he had pulled the wrong tooth and was awarded a $250 compensation. • —■ \ Charles Leonard, 18, has Indianapolis physicians baffled. He is senseless to pain, cannot distinguish between hot and cold articles, and is unable to identify anything without touching it. ® Alva Ketering “Free Hamburger at Dixie.”
