SCHOOL FOOTBALL

- 0SI1OOG NV DFhhA
St. J~ohnsbury Academy and
=. Newport High School will come
~. to grips Saturday afternoon on the
-, Campus in what promises to be
~ one of the hardest fought and the
most interesting football games of
the year in Northeastern Vermont.
Rivalry between these two schools
of learning will fairly seethe.
20. Both teams are being drilled
with great attention and care by
their respective coaches. Down on
the Campus coaches Tuckerman
and HOLSTER are putting the local
lads through stiff scrimmages and
are stuffing them with every pos
sible ounce of gridiron knowledge
: in anticipation of the fray. Need
ht less to say Coach Kipp up in the
Border City is Selling time by the
fcrelock and is making his charges
.l step lively with the big game but
two days hence.
Right here some thought, en-
v bodying the splendid sport of
football, ought to be conveyed to
81 the people of St. Johnsbury. Foot
Fl ball is like eating olives. Eat one
or two of them and the
d, eater is craving for more. At
- tend one or two football games
and the spectator will be craving
for more.
o Think of the immense throngs
that attend the big college football
games in this state. So great has
been the recent demand for seats
at gridiron contests, the Univer-
sity of Vermont has been obliged
to build a separate concrete and
steel stand for football on Cen
81. ~tennial Field at Burlington.
Baseball fans in Northeastern
Vermont ought to get out and
support the preparatory school
~clevens. In this way they are
helping nightly to relieve the te-
dunn that follows the end of the
baseball season and precedes the
opening of the basketball season.
Football is not so complicated
,as some people might suppose. 1t
I, simply consists in advancing the
ball into the opposing teams terri
tory, The means of advancing
the ball are varied; line plunges,
end runs, forward passes, and
punting. When the ball has been
advanced sufficiently near the OPP
I Ponents' goal posts, then a drop
kick may be called for, or a field
goal, or the quarterback may
continue to punch the enemy
line. All of this uncertainty over
the next play to be used, makes
football a wonderful game for the
fan to diagnose. Many fans pre-
fer a football game to anything
clse-even baseball.
With Newport High and st.
Johnsbury Academy battling Sat
urday, fans ought to make the
Campus their mecca. The game
gets under way at 2.30 Sharp.
ASPIRANTS FOR BEAUTY
One feature of the past season
has been the large number of
beauty contests held in many
! cities, eliminating in a national
I carnival at Atlantic city.
Those who find themselves left
behind in such competitions, or
/ who know far too we'll that they
could take no position in them,
should not feel badly about it.
While physical beauty is a gift
that all women desire and may
well cherish and ennoble, yet it
carries with it many dangers.
The girl or woman who has this
form of beauty is the subject of
attention and adulatlon. Things
come easily to her. She finds plen-
ty of dance partners and other
forms of invitation, including Of
fers of marriage. If she goes in
to business she attracts the in
tcreSt of men and sometimes
seems to succeed without much eff
fort.
Yet this condition tempts a
pretty girl to think she can win
out on her face alone and usually
it takes a lot more than that to
accomplish anything in the bust
ness world.
A certain type Of men have
