.JEFFCOTT lost
TO WEST PH|LLY
Speedboys' Captain Out OF
Frankford Game Tomorrow
With Swollen Leg
TIGHT SHOE lNFECTS TOE
BY PAUL PREP

Joe Jeffcott, captain of West Phlla-
delphia High Schools football team,
will not be able to start in the big game
against Frankford High School tomor-
row afternoon. This was announced by
Warren WELLER, coach Of the Speed
boys eleven, today.
II was just talking to Jocs father, y
said Weller. And according to him,
Joe will not be able to play tomor-
row.
1T seems that he wore a tight shoe
during the early part of the season and.
while he was kicking the ball split his
toe. He did not pay any attention to
the injury and went into the last two
games with a slightly infected toe. Later
on the toe healed up, but Joe started to
kick in practice again and now his leg
is swollen.
with Jeffcott out Of the game our
stock will sink considerably for the big
game tomorrow. Frankford has the
greatest team that ever represented the
school, and it is said that the team will
go right on through to the champion
ship. West Philly was the only team
that really stood between the Pioneers
and the title. Now. with Joe out Of
the game, | will have pretty tough
time trying to find some one capable Of
taking his place.
Jcffcott played left end on West Phil
ly's team last season. At the end of
the year he was elected to succeed
Freddy Sweet as leader of the West
crners. When the 1921 season rolled
around backfeld material was very
scarce at the Walnut street institution.
and so Warren Weller made a quarter
back out Of Jeffcott. lie ran the team
smoothly. considering that he was not
regular backtield man, and kept the
teamwork intact.
The loss of Jeffcott is d severe blow.
as Joe was counted on to start at half
back tomorrow. He was TO be shifted.

GIRL SCOUTS To
GIVE HISTORY Of
AME R|CAN BANNE R

Apropos to Flag Day which will
be celebrated in Palatka next Tues,
day, Community Service mas called
upon a numbe rof the Girl Scouts to
write some articles on the history,
observance and respect of the Ameri-
can Flag. These articles will appear
each day in the News. The informa-
ton included in these articles was
learned by the Scouts and was part
of their tenderfoot test which most
of them have just recently passed.
The articles appearing in this paper
are on the history of the flag. One girl
from each troop was called upon to
contribute these articles.
July 4th, 1916 the Declaration of
independence was signed in Phila-
delphia and the colonies became an
independent nation. The new nation
had to have a new flag, as they could
not use the Union Jack, so during the
latter part of May, 1776, George
Washington, Robert Morris, and Colo,
mel Ross called on Betsy Ross to make
the first flag which they designed
They kept the thirteen stripes of the
colonial flag, but replaced the Unior
Jack by blue field bearing thirteen
stars arranged in a circle. The birth,
day of the flag was June IA, 1776
Then Congress passed a resolution
that the flag of the thirteen states
should have thirteen stripes. The
first unfurling of the Stars anC
Stripes was on a warship, by Johr
Paul Jones, in June, 1777. Tradition
says that this flag was made for Johr
Paul Jones by the ladies of Ports.
mouth Harbor, and that it was made
from their own mothers gowns.
1t was first carried in the battle OF
Brandywine in September, 1777 This
flag was made of a soldiers white
shirt, womens red petticoats and an
0 GERS blue coat.
A famous flag now in the National
Museum in Washington is the one
of fifteen stars and stripes which
floated over Fort McHenry near Bal
timore, in the War of, 1912. This is
the flag which Frances Scott Key
saw "by the dawns early light. AT
ter watching through the night 1.-THE
rockets red glare, the bombs bursting
in air" was proof that the fort had
not fallen during the night into the
hands of the enemy. The next day he
wrote the Star Spangled Banner"
