ence to game cocks. Pure-bred game
cocks have only red and black feath-

trail is looking for competition in
sports they must look elsewhere as
at a meeting of the faculty advisers
yesterday a resolution was adopted
by the four members OF the COM
mittee that called off further ath-
letic relations with Central High.
The so-called league in various
sports among the high sc.lool boys
was abolished at this meeting at
Technical High School yesterday
This adjustment of the so called
league of sports will allow the diff
ferent institutions to schedule games
with each other. instead of by the
formula that has been used in pre-
ceding years.
But from an inside tip comes the
word that not one of these four
schools who have withdrawn from
the league will arrange athletic
games with Central. because of a
difference of opinion in regard to
running schoolboys' athletics that
now exist at the Mount Pleasant
Institute.

permanent slogan of the legion. but
it does typify the feeling of those
who served in this war. that they
should stick together.
The results from this cannot but
be good for our country.
These strong, virile young men,
largely between 90 and 30 years of
age, will not live in the past. They
are thinking of the past only as
knowledge of it, and experience in
it. suggest improvements for the
present and for the future.
Within the American Legion
there are no military ranks. Its
members are simply comrades who
have served in arms in the world
war. 1t is distinctly a civilian and
not a military organization. The
honorably dischared private stands
shoulder to shoulder with the hon
orably discharged general. And
this applies. within American Le-
gion, to those who are still in the
military service of our country.
The national convention of the
American Legion at Minneapolis in
its delegates representatives from
every State and territory in our
country, and these delegates will
bear instructions from the men,
bers of the American Legion, and
put into permanent form a consti-
tuition correctly representing the
ideals of those who served in this
war.
