CENTRAL GRID MEN
TO GET SWEATERS
Athletic Board Decides to Award
Sweaters and Emblems for First
Time in Years.
LETTERS TO SEVENTEEN MEN

At meeting OF the athletic board last
night II was decided to give the Central
High school football letter-men sweaters
this year. For several seasons the team
has not received sweaters from the
school, but this year there was hesita-
tion on account of the depleted treasury.
The money for the sweaters will be paid
directly out OF the athletic fund
A play of some kind will be given by
high schools pupils later on to clear up
the cost Of the sweaters. Seventeen
players will receive letters this year
This is a larger number than usual and
is due to the fact that many substitutes
had a chance to earn letter because
of injuries to many regulars. The re-
quirement for a letter man is that he
play in at least one and one-half games.
The first basket ball practice will be
held at the high school this afternoon
after school. A large squad Is expected
10 turn out. There are practically four
positions on the team that are open.
Paynter being the only regular left over
from last season. The coach viii have
large amount of material to pick from.
but the team will be light. Some of the
men who are looked upon to make
fight for first team positions include:
Patty. Logan, Werlich, MacFarland,
Grove, Crowley, Fullaway, Geisler.

Old Man Of the Mountai I.

The title "Old Man Of the Mountain
was first applied to Hassan Zen Sab
bal, who founded formidable dynas-
ty I'm Syria A. d. 1890. He was the
prince on chief Of sect OF the Mo-
hammedans. Having been banished
from his country, he took up his abode
In Mount Lebanon and gathert d round
him band of followers, who soon be-
came the terror alike of Christians,
Jews and Turks. They paid the most
implicit obedience to his commands
and believed that II they sacrificed
their lives for his sake they would be
rewarded with the highest joys OF
paradise. For 200 years these "assas-
SINS" as they called themselves, con-
tinued to be the terror Of the country.
Whenever their chief, the "Old Man
of the Mountain" considered himself
injured he dispatched some Of his as
sassins secretly to murder the aggres-
sor. This Is the origin of our use of the
word assassin for a secret murderer.
