ALL STAR FIVE IS
UNDER DISCUSSION
Crack Team May Soon Be Sc
Iected From the Ranks of
the CATHOLIC League

The basket ball tournament now in
progress under the direction of the
Catholic Schools athletic league is an
other feather in the cap of that rela-
lively new but eminently successful
organization. The class of playing put
up on both sides of the bay is an evil
dence that some splendid athletic ma
terial is being developed under the
guidance of the league.
A project that is receiving the con-
sideration of the governing body is the
organization of a parochial basket ball
team containing the best players picked
from all the contending teams. This all
school team would certainly take a
prominent place among the lightweight
fves on the coast.
It is rather too early in the season
TO prophesy with any degree of assur-
ance regarding the personnel of the
proposed team, but already there are
several players who ought to stand an
excellent chance to make the five pro-
vided they suffer no serious reversal
Judgment must be suspended con-
cerning several of the teams engaged in
the present tournament owing to the
fact that they have not played games
enough to show what sort of material
they have. In this category must be
placed the five hailing from st. Ignatius
grammar school The boys have the
bulk of their scheduled games still be-
fore them and as yet they are untested
in basket bail.
st. Peters school has produced juve-
nile wonder in the person OF John Mer-
rill, who plays center on the school
team. Merrill is IAN all around good
player, but up to date he is IN a class
by himself in the matter of goal shoot
ing He has several victories for the
vatican boys by his unerring throwing
of field goals. Altogether he looks like
certain possibility for the all school
team
The youngsters from Sacred Heart
school, North Oakland, have shown
themselves a speedy band of players,
and at least on of their number ought
TO make the all school team on the
score of quickness and dexterity.
Alfred Henas and his brother, Arthur,
both members of st. Anthony's school
team, are going to be very much in the
running when the question of the pro-
posed all ScnOO1 team comes up Tor So
luton. Both youngsters have shown
themselves unusually expert in tackles
They are quick and sure, and while
preventing an opposing player from
doing anything with the ball are care
full not to incur any penalizing for foul
tackling.
st. Elizabeth's team, hailing from
Fruitvale, enjoys the distinction of be-
ing the basket ball five that has shown
most progress in knowledge of the
game since the inception of the tour
nament The Elizabethans labor under
the handicap OF being novices in basket
ball, but they are learning fast and al
ready have put up two spirited tussles
The St. Francis de Sales school team
has not been in the tournament long
enough to show its class. The same ap-
plies to the boys from Sacred Heart
grammar school. Both these teams will
have some heavy games on their hands
within the next two weeks and thereby
get an opportunity Of showing just how
many of their players loom large as all
school team possibilities.

Grammar School Lads and Lassies Ready For First Tourn
ent for Handsome Prize Offered to Encourage Sport

For the first time in the history of
our local public schools we are going
to have basket ball, not alone for the
boys, but the girls as we'll. All the
schools are simply aSog over the pros
poets, and especially the boys of the
125 pound weight division, for they are
to compete for The Calls handsome
trophy, photo of which is reproduced.
Within few days every school that
has entered the tournament will re-
ceive copy of this photograph. so that
the boys can see what they must strive
to win. This trophy is a work of art
and it will always belong to the Pub
lie Schools league, as it is a perpetual
trophy
Surrounding the large bronze and silver
shield are a series of smaller silver
shields on which the name of the win
ming school and its players will be
placed each year, as on a roll of honor.
The team that wins the trophy will
hold 1T for year or until it is won.
The school that has the honor of hold
ing the trophy will find it a treasure
something worth while winning, some
thing that will prove to be an object

When | went to grammar school-it
was quite a while ago-we had no Pub
lie Schools league to encourage and
guide us; we had no Pacific athletic
association interested in the school
boy to father us along. We had base
ball teams and that was about the limit
of our athletic knowledge.

always looking out for their interests,
and it is hoped that they will take ad
vantage of these opportunities and
make the approaching basket ball
tournament a record breaker in every
way.

For several months past George
Schlitter, the genial physical director
of the Columbia Park boys club,

fortunate ones have had some of the

showing which the local team made

A TROUT WITH A HISTORY

The mascot of the Inverness railway
men passed away recently, in the
shape of brown trout, whose life his
tory was somewhat peculiar. In the
Field a correspondent says that the
fish had been landed at Millburn by
the son of Mr. Mcdonald, engine driv-
err was kept alive and soon became
great pet. Upward of ten years ago
the engine driver had it transferred
to the tank of his engine, and 1t has
since passed a somewhat curious ex-
istence in the tanks of three separate
railway engines. The trout was so
tame that it would feed from the en-
CINE drivers hand, and when a pail
was dropped into the tank to take 1t
out would flop into it at once.
Occasionally the driver took his pet
home with him, and on the last occa-
sion that he did so an accident hap
pened-a box of matches had fallen
into the tank with the result that the
trout was poisoned The trout Is Ia
mented by all the railway men. 1t
travelled during it's stay in the engine
tank thousands of miles, and once.
when there was a snow block and the
water ran down, was only saved by
pouring water sparingly over it. The
fish is a beautifully spotted specimen,
and, having such reputation, is being
preserved by Messrs. McLeay Sons
of Inverness. Its ten years residence
in railway tank has made it famous,
and it is intended to transfer 1t to
some museum.

A DOLL 5000 YEARS OLD

The delight which little girl some
times experiences in getting hold of a
doll that belonged to her mother when
she was a little girl-a quaint, china
headed and china haired little Great
ure, with low neck and short sleeves
and very full ruffled skirts tame
thing when compared with the feel
ings that any girl must experience
over a doll now in the British mu-
scum This doll is almost 5000 years
old
When some archaeologists were eX
ploring an ancient Egyptian royal
tomb they came upon sarcophagus
containing the mummy of a little prin-
cess years old. She was dressed and
inferred in a manner befitting her
rank and in her arms was found a
little wooden doll.
The inscription gave the name, rank
and ge of the little girl and the date
of he death, but it said nothing about
the quaint little wooden Egyptian
doll. This, however, told it's own
story. 1t was so tightly clasped in
the arms of the mummy that it was
evident that the child had died with
her beloved doll in her arms.
The simple pathos of this story has
touched many hearts, after thousands
of years. The doll occupies a place in
a glass case in the British museum,
and there a great many children have
gone to look at it.-Youth's Compan-
ion.
