| head coach, as member Oh the
freshman cross-country team. Yes,
| those of us who know young Myer
were sure he would come though a
winner at any of the big colleges.
For time he was undecided where
to go, but finally made up his mind
to cast his lot with Dartmouth. Now
he is said to be delighted with his
choice, and his prospects in an edu-
are decidedly propitious. Joe Myer
| is an aggressive fellow, with suff1-
cient ability to make himself felt in
almost any kind of athletic company.
He was a saviour for Central High,
and he did more than any boy
we know of to make athletics a sue
cess at that school. He was in all
the games. in a way. either as an en-
thusiastic rooter, or a cheer leader,
or as a participant in the sport.
Myer is of the popular sort, for he is
always doing things, and when he
worked for me as a Central High
expert on sports I readily discovered
in him boy of knowledge. action,
honesty and stability, and his sue
cess at Dartmouth is very pleasing
to me, as 1t must be to those who
knew him at Barringer High and
later at Central High.

Although Barringer High School
has always been against it, the prop
osition to form city high school
league is quite probable. Randall
Warden, the supervisor of physical
training of the public schools, is in
favor of the scheme, and the high
school principals, with the lone ex-
ception of Barringer, are rather anx-
ious. it is believed, for such an or
ganization to become a fact. In
order to get to it somehow, meet
ing has been called for this after
noon at the City Hall. when the mat
ter will be discussed, it is said, with
avidity and intelligence. That
high school league under the control
of the leading school authorities of
the city should be organized there
isn't a doubt in the world. Every
high school in the city wants it but
Barringer. and Barringer is now said
to be willing to join the new assoc
citation If it is formed. A league as
suggested Is not only desired, but
should be demanded. 1t would not
only increase interest in school
sports, but it would increase the in
terest and efforts in school studies.

As a partner in joke, kindly print
the following in your valuable sport
column:
One day a friend who, I will not
name,
Said, come, let's go to a football
game.
went all right, and hope to
choke
If that game was not the biggest
The Valleys against the sommer
Were both in trance or else in a
dream;
Conroy, as quarterback, should be
hired by Yale,
And whenever they play should be
put In Jail.
Pohlman, at centre, is a mighty poor
man,
And If I were the manager he'd soon
get the can.
The Scott boys as tackles would sure
get you sore
They play as rotten as Johnny Kan
tor.
Reimer. as left guard. and Sinbin,
as right,
If playing for pie would not get a
bite.
Gallagher is a frost-he tries to be
stylish;
He's the worst on the team, with the
exception of Kilish.
Christensen, as fullback, makes me
smile with my face;
They should get a woman player in
his place. .
The rest of the team, except Freder-
icks alone,
When they go to play football should
all stay at home.
CHARLES WRIGHT.
Good money has been paid for
worse effusions than this.

A WHITE HOPES DREAM,
Twas the night of the battle
Between two well-known "hopes."
Fans were packed close like cattle
AS they climbed DER the ropes.
II.
Famed by second was his opponent;
Uneasily he scanned his frame.
Then he smiled just for a moment
Just to show he was game.
III.
Suddenly the bell sounded so clear;
1t brought him round to action.
Rushing his man he felt no fear,
While fighting close was satisfac-
Nine was the number of the round
When he brought his left in action.
The other dropped without a sound,
While the fans cheered to distrac-
ton.
V.
Champ heavy" of the ring was he:
His laurels he had won.
While thinking what a prince" he'd
be
He was Weakened by the rising sun.
GRIZZLY PETE"
You'll be a fine butcher some day,
Pete, If you keep on writing poetry
like this.
