Observation-Disclosures in the

Squad.

When the high school football team
leaves tomorrow morning for Jack
sonville, where they will battle with
the team representing the lunatic
city in the afternoon. they will be
without their quarterback, Thomas
McManus, who has played such con-
sistent game throughout the season.
The little player has had bruise on
the shin bone of one of his legs for
some time and although he went
through two or three games with it
the doctor will not allow him to play
further. And Coach Belknap is wor-
ried as TO who he shall put in his
place.
The fact that McManus could not
play was not made known until last
night when the doctor made his de-
cision and although the injured ath-
lete is sure he could hold out alright.
his father does not see fit for him to
go in. owing TO what the physician
in charge has told him regarding the
case
Coach Worried.
This morning when seen at the
high school building, Belknap said
that he had not slept a wink all last
night, owing TO the graveness Of the
situation which he has TO face: that
of selecting new man. to direct
plays To his notion there Is no one
among the subs who is the least ways
capable and the alternative is 10
change some regular TO quarter and
supplant the position thus left vacant
with one Of the substitutes. He can
not very well take man out of the
backfield as he could not replace any
one there while several of the subs
could do good work on the line in
case lineman had to play at
quarter.
He does not think that he will be
able TO select man until just before
the whistle blows tomorrow.
New Plays no Good.
No one has been working at the nov
vacant position yet this year, and this
fact makes the selection ar extremely
hard one, Bowlby has done little
work on the second team. but does
not seem OF sufficient calibre for the
varsity All this week the coach has
been drilling the eleven on plays in
which McManus figured in the for
ward pass and they viii all 60 for

will hurt the chances for victory to

There is a very decided pleasure il one

but his doctors told him day or so in bed

TO rest, they said.
As he couldn't do anything else he be-
gan to count the TCooRs in rre sets. He
tackled a set Of Irving's works. He never
did know before just how many volumes
there were. Counting from one end he
got total of twelve. Counting from the
other end he came 10 fourteen. He tried
counting them with his right eye shut;
then with the left eye shut. A chair was
in the way. He made that sort of chart
mark and counted until he got Just above
he began from there and counted on 10
the end of the set. That gave him re-
suit OF thirteen books.
Then he began on a set OF Balzac which
he knew had thrty-two volumes in IL.
After three attempts he got the right
total. although he first got thirty-four
and then thirty-six. Then he went back
TO the Irving. He tried counting by ones,
by pairs. by threes. in both directions.
Eventually he called for his sister, who
came into the room. When he asked her

FATHER KNEW WHAT TO do.
A Child In . subway Train Who Cried
Once Too Often.

An Italian with his wife and two little
children got into the subway train bound
uptown. There were seats enough, 30
the wife and one child in arms sat down.
The man, carrying the other infant, pre-
pared to take a seat.
The moment he sat down the little
girl in his arms set up cry. She wouldn't
stop until the man got up. For a time,
as long as he remained standing, she was
quiet. The moment he started again to
be seated she walled gain.
So he had to remain standing. The
child then reached for the cord by which
the signals are given from car to car.
1t was too high above her head. So she
cried again.
The father tried 10 divert her attention
to the straps as being more worthy OF her
notice. But she wouldn't be appeased.
What was he TO do?
Soon answered. He turned the baby
over his knee as he sat down firmly and
gave her something 10 cry for, A shocked
look came over that little girls face and
then. after few last howls, she was very
silent.
Her father sat there with look as OF
one who has solved problem.
