A good citizen knows the laws and
the customs of his country. One OF
the customs of the United States is
to recognize the banner of the republic
on all official occasions. When the
flag Is carried in a procession CT
parade all men will uncover just be-
fore the flag reaches them and hold
the hat opposite the left shoulder
until the flag has been carried by.
Every man should be so proud of be
ing an American that he will be anx-
ious TO do this small act of courtesy
for his country's flag. He should feel
so honored in doing it that he will
stand squarely on both feet with his
face and eyes straight to the front
and maintain absolute silence while
the flag is passing by.
On Memorial day many flags Will
appear in the procession, Let us see
how many Of us are so well American
lied that we will not fail to recognize
our national emblem.
When the Star Spangled Banner"
is played all well informed Americans
will stand, remove their hats, hold
them opposite their left shoulders, and
maintain silence until the lost note
has been played. Women will stand,
place their right hands over their
hearts, and maintain silence until the
last note Is played
1t frequently happens that when the
"Star Spangled Banner is played at
the end of program many well mean
ing people begin to put on their wraps |
if they are inside hall, or start their |
cars if they are in the open. There /
are many soldiers in our community |
to whom this bit Of thoughtlessneess .
seems to indicate lack Of proper re-
spect for the flag. If some service |
man some time politely calls your at
.ention to the fact show your willing
ness to prove that you are true blue
American comply fully with his re-
quest. j. GLADDEN. Hutton, patriotic
instructor, Minnesota division, S. Of V,

Sharpe-Yale Controversy Is
Nearing Break-Sharpe
Stands the Calf

Newark, n. J.. January t0.-tSpecialD
Yale athletic authorities and under
graduates are going to learn something
if they press their claim for an in
vestigation of the slovenly play of the
Yale football team the past season, ac-
cording TO members of the Cornell ath-
letic councils. who are close to DR..
Sharpe and have probably become ac-
quainted with some inside facts which
have not been made public.
DR.. sharpe, withstanding caustie
criticism with remarkable fortitude
since the Yale Harvard game, notified
the authorities two weeks ago that he
would be willing to assist in any kind
of probe desired, and would also be
willing to step down and out in favor
of Tad Jones, or any other mentor Yale
cared to employ, despite the fact his
contract has two years to run.
The Sharpe-Yale controversy mas
stirred collegiate circles in the east
as they have not been stirred for a
decade Yale undergraduates. and
alumni are said to have lost heavily
on the Yale Harvard contest, and from
this class has come the most insistent
demands for an Investigation looking
toward placing the blame for the de-
feats in the big game.
To date sharpe has blamed no one
1t is fact in some sections Sharpe
is exonerated because many of the
Yale gridiron squad did not cooperate
with him. 1t is charged some of the
players took this method of register

over that of Jones. sharpe refused to
coment on this phase of the situation
replying that all facts viii be presented

Roush's Work
From the sporting News.

From he Sporting News.
Batting around in one inning is not
such an extraordinary thing in the ma

player enjoys the distinction of going
up to the plate twice before the side is
retired in "big inning" but the feat of
getting on base twice in the inning all
ways calls for special notice. There
was one player in the National league
last season who in two games did that
trick He was Eddie Roush Of the Gin
cinnati Reds.
Rousl1es first appearance in the ranks
of the two an-inningr club was in the
thirteenth round at Brooklyn on May
Is. when he lit on al Mamaux for
triple and single, the three-ba gger
being made with three on and bringing
in the first runs OF the game.

runs made by the Browns. Sisler also
scored twice in this productive round
of the Burkemen.

The second week OF the matches of the
United States Revolver association
matches resulted in the Birmingham Re-
volver club shooting five matches, and
some very good scores were made which
brought the club totals up good deal
over the last three that were shot. 1t is
desired by the association that all clubs
shoos three matches week and if pos
sible &c do 50. they want FIVE matches
shot, Last week the club shot only three
matches, but this week they managed to
shoot flve of them and tho same amount
will be shot the coming week. AS there

CENTRAL WINS FROM
DORA HIGH QUINTET
Crimson Triumphs, Winning
By Score of 30 to II
Adair Stars


Central High school opened it's bas-
ketball season yesterday afternoon in
a manner highly satisfactory to the
students and team when the Dora
High quintet fell to defeat before the
rush of the Crimson basketeers by the
score of SO to H. Only once did it look
like Dora might tie the score, when
after the Crimsons had gained good
lead Adair, Dora Center, shot several
consecutive field goals. However, the
Crimsons rallied, and increased their
lead over their opponents.
The game was rather loosely played,
the players of each team missing
many easy shots for goal, On the other
hand. several beautiful goals were
tossed from deep court by players or
leach side. VI. 49, IS
The crimsons appeared to be playing
below their standard failing to show

were the especial stars of the day.
Hahn played steady game. and scored
four field goals and three fouls. total
of II points. Sugerman. aided by
splendid team work of his mates, made
five nice field goals. total OF ~
points. Robinson played hard at for
ward and made creditable showing.
Lawley seemed off form and did not
play up to his usual standard. Bragan
demonstrated that he has the ability
to become a crecl. guard
For Dora, Adair was the especial star.
Adair was a good defensive man, and
on the offensive scored more points
than the rest of his team mates to-
gether. Hart was good at guard, and
was a hindrance to the Crimson for
wards, against whom he was playing
Baliinger and Arwine did well at for
ward. while F. Ballinger was good at
guard The only drawback to the Dora
team was the lack of experience and
team work; for material there was an
abundance.
