Coach Geary gave his squad a good workout last night in order to smooth off any rough spots. The team is get ting in tip-top shape and everybody is ready for the big game to morrow. The students are beginning to feel the return of the old football spirit and after the big assembly today it is hoped that real school spirit will bring out a record crowd of students tomor-- row. The team deserves all the sup port it can get, for they are working like troopers to win for old Phoenix Hi the state championship.

He has had the best masters as teachers, and has done a great deal of concert work all over the country. His cello is very eI- i pensive instrument aac has quite history.

 The fifth hour penmanship class is now full but there is room for 25 or oO more between the first or fourth hour. which belong to Miss :ioge and MT. i Glass. The penmanship classes have enlarged so greatly this year that the bookkeeping room is used instead of the regular class rooms.
 It is beautifully equipped with large desks just the thing for penmanship and will accommodate 40 or 50 pupils
 The first two weeks of school such a large number of pupils enrolled in the fifth hour class that all the seats were full and some contained two students
 The different programs were rear ranged for the first and fourth hour but still there were some that could not be changed The owners of these programs are now in the fifth hour study hall watching the first chance to get in the class. There are some hopes of their doing so for Mr Ryan has promised all his pupils that the first one that did not do his share of work would be sent out and another could take his place.
 The pupils are working their hardest for the certificates given by MT.

 In previous years it has been known of pupils to receive graduation cer- tificate in half a year and there are hopes of a great many doing the same this year.

 The pupils in MT. Elliotts physics classes are doing some interesting ex- perirnents They are learning the prin- ciple of the one and two arm leyer. The principle involved is that the light CT weight placed on the balanced meter stick must be farther away from the fulcrum or center than the large weight. This is true because the moments of force or weight pulling down at each end of the stick must be equal in order
 for the stick to balance. Yesterday MT. Elliott showed how a fish could be weighed with the fishing pole. Several of the students thought it couldn't be done but they were soon convinced that they were wrong. Under the efficient
 teaching of Mr. Elliott the students ought to spend an interesting and profitable year.
  Junior: l caught a fish yesterday
 that weighed ten pounds.
 Senior: How do you .now it weighed ten pounds? You didn't have any scales
 did you?
 Junior: No, but the fish had his.

70 boxers feel any III effects from
NJ a real Knockout The question
L = has been put to many fighters,
but as a rule they can offer little ex-
PLANTATION. except to say that they
knew absolutely nothing OF what tran
spired, or that they heard beauti-
full bells ringing The latter has
been the usual explanation. Nova
days knockouts are not so frequent
as in the past, as the modern ref
cree is careful to stop a contest il
re sees that one bOxlr is outcfasseG
or on the verge Of knockout.
There are different ways Of accom-
plishing the knockout and a London
authority explains il thusly:
"a knockout results from a
blow I'm one Of three places In
the neck, in the pit Of the stOm-
ach, On the lower jaw. The lat
ter - the most usual This sends
its recipient down like an inert
mass the legs cannot sustain the

other. send branches TO all the vita.
organs situated in the upper part OF
the abdomen
The blow paralyzes this mass OF
nerves and thus puts the central
nervous system out Of business. This
paralysis may stop the machinery
The general theory among physl-
clans as to the working out OF the
knockout on the chin. is that il sets
up a cerebral cOmmotion through the
sudden and violent d-sDlacing OF the
fluids that battle the BRAIN
But DR.. Semen OF Paris has pub
lished an interesting study Of this
blow and its effect in which he ad-
vences a new theory that meets with
