The elevens Of De Witt Clinton High
School and the High School of Com
, merce are ready for their important
football game at the Polo Grounds this
afternoon at 2 o'clock. The contest
will officially close the schoolboy sea-
son throughout the city.
A victory for Clinton will place it
in line with Morris High School for
the championship of the Manhattan
Bronx division. Besides Clinton, Nor
ris and Commerce, Stuyvesant High
School was a contended for the title.
Morris defeated both Stuyvesant and
Commerce by decisive scores, while
Clinton battled Morris and Stuyvesant
to scorless ties. The Clinton boys de-
clare percentages mean nothing where
football is concerned and that il they
should defeat Commerce they are en-
titled TO the championship as much as
Morris.
Clinton Rules Favorite
Although Clinton rules the favorite,
the Red and Black players look for
ward to hard contest. This is their
view OF to-day's contest in spite of
the fact that Commerce was beaten by
every local team it met this season.
Tradition has been that the Commerce
team always rose to the occasion whep
facing Clinton, regardless of its early
season record.
Both teams engaged in only light
practice during the last week. The
muddy ground impeded them in their
work. Clinton ran through its roper
tory Of plays yesterday under the
watchful eye of Bill Cooke, the coach.
Commerce held short scrimmage
workout on the Central Park Meadows.
The players on both elevens are in
splendid condition.
De StefanO Fine Punter
De Stefano and Isenberg, in the Gin
ton backfeld are expected to carry the
burden of the attack aehinst Com
merce. De Stefano's punting has been
of high calibre all season, and it was
his educated toe that held off the Nor
ris and Stuyvesant teams. On the de-
fence, Gouldwoski and Wacker should
rot be overlooked, while Galbraith and
Silverman are a clever pair of ends.
Ryan, Samson and Roberts are expect
ed to produce the biggest gains for
Commerce.
OF the ten games engaged in by the
teams during their annual tussles,
Commerce holds the edge with five vic
tories to three for Clinton, while two
contests resulted in ties.

management of the waistline is CEN
turtles old, but has never been improved
upon.
The sleeve is especially graceful,
fitting the arm at the shoulder and
gradually widening to the waist. 1t is
split on the outer side and it's edges
are defined with two rows of beads.
The graceful "V" neck is finished in
the same way and has a set-in piece
of white georgette at the point, which
may be more or less high. Black and
steel beads are introduced in the en-
broidered figures on the bodice. Fine
artistry is written in every detail of
this gown.
Wonders in camisOles are brought
to the fascinated eyes of mOrtalS in
these days of diaphanous gowns and
fiImy blouses. Long ago camisOles ap-
nropriated lustrous satins and silks

direction of luxury. Just a glance at

SCOTLAND'S BIG SHIP CANAL
Project for Passage From Forth to
the Clyde Again Agi-
tated.

Enthusiasm for the making of a mid
Scotland ship canal has been burning
for over a hundred years in Glasgow.
The sudden flame which has just
burned out is no doubt connected, like
the Channel tunnel, with problems sug-
gested by the war, observes the London
Chronicle. An easy passage from the
Forth to the Clyde was recognized by
DefOe in the reign of Queen Anne
as a sound strategic and commercial
proposition. In the middle of the
eighteenth century the Glasgow coYpo-
ration added FL 900 to the fund for con-
structing the present very useful barge
canal through the Kelvin valley be-
tween the Forth and the Clyde.
What ship canal between the North
sea and the Atlantic would mean for
the British navy as well as for Glas-
Cow may be gathered from a compari
son of the time saved by avoiding the
stormy waters of the Pentland Firth.
A ship leaving Glasgow for Hull would
save 626 miles; for Dundee 434, for
London 271, and for Hamburg (if ever
the time should come again) 4S7. Liv.
erpoOl, of course, would share these
economies with Glasgow. Biologists,
as if to encourage the pioneers, remind
us that the sea once flowed across
Scotland through the valleys where
the proposed canal would run.

Beads and a fur of fabric, initiating

harm in trying to make it more beau
tiful. This can be done by making a

over it. The cover is made with a top
