"SALLIES" five
READY TO GO
Quintet Will Play First
Game With New Castle
on Wednesday
FOUR REGULARS
IN THE LINEUP

salesianum Catholic High School
is holding daily practices in prspa-
ration for It's opening basketball
game with New Castle High here
next Wednesday.
Light scrimmages have been held
in St. Joseph's Hall in order to de-
velop the players. Accurate passing
is being stressed and teamwork Is
being developed.
Coach Malloy is depending on the
speed OF his players to bring them
through a successful season, as the
team lacks weight. SO the Salesian-
UNI quintet will have to be on the
jump in every game this season
and keep its opponents from getting
set. Their speed will have TO be
used TO the best advantage II they
hope TO win games.
Four members Of last years team
are back. With these boys Coach
Malloy should be able to form a
speedy and experienced machine.
Hap" sheehy. the mainstay of
the 1929 combination, has been
absent from his centre position dur
ing the early practices. Sheehy was
injured in the Newark High School
football game. He has not recover
ed completely, but is expected to
be IN condition for the initial con-
test.
Sheehey Is considered one OF the
best centres in the history of local
scholastic basketball. He Is a good
jumper, clever passer and has a
falcon eye for the basket. His abil-
fly to keep the team in motion at
all times during a contest is one of
his greatest assets.
Gillespie and Kerrigan are book
ed to start at their old forward posi-
lions. Both are excellent shots from
the floor. Their passing is excep-
tionally good, and their play on the
defense is better than that of the
average forward.
Dolan Is the only guard remaining
on the team. He is a brilliant de-
fensive player and few OF the OPP
posing forwards will be able to get
loose from him this season.
Just who the other guard will be
is not known. Coach Mslloy has
several candidates in mind for the
position. but has made no selection.
There is good school spirit at
The entire student
body and faculty is in back OF the
team. Every one is pulling for a
successful season. and thus inspir-
ed the Gold and White quintet is ex-
pected to be one OF the best in the
history of the school.

GIRL HIGHLETS
WIN OVER ALUNINAE
nv POLLY BY.

The wilmington High School girls
varsity basketball team started their
season last night by defeating the
Alumnae sextet in the school gym
nasiun by the score Of 26 TO 9. The
playing Of the two varsity forwards,
Miss Bendre and Miss Rosenberg
was the feature.
The Alumnae team could not get
the range on the basket end beside
they we're closely guarded. The work
OF Captain Campbell In guarding
her opponent IN the first haf shut
them out without a field goal. One
lone poInter which Miss Clark had
made on a foul was their only
marker.
The varsity displayed some fine
work. passing, dribbling from one
70 the other. Coach Wainwright at
present lacks a good center, for the
PLAYER she thought to use at this
position has been declared ineligible
on account OF lessons.
After the Christmas holidays the
team will start again with the Misses

One often hears the remark, Hes
a brainy bail player" in discussing
some athlete who Is regarded as
having much baseball intelligence.
Such a remark would cause the
average layInan TO make up his
mind that the player under con-
sideration was an athlete OF much
learning, high intelligence.
In a great many cases that IS FAR
from being the truth. Some Of the
brainest ball players have ever
known have been players who
knew little other than baseball.
Their education had been much
neglected. Early in life they had
kissed school goodby for hard work.
Yet from a baseball standpoint they
possessed master minds.
on the other hand have in mind
two collegians. one who graduated
with high honors, who during their
entire big league career were re-
garded as dumb bail players.
One OF the college chaps could
discuss any subject intelligently. In
addition 10 a thorough education he
had Travelled widely. and was one Of
the most interesting persons ever
talked 20. Yet on the ball field he
was the champion "dumbbell."
with many Of the sandlotters, base
ball knowledge seems 10 be a sec
ond sense. When a situation arises
that calls for quick thinking and
even faster execution, intuitively
they seem to know what 10 do.
There Is absolute coordination be-
tween the mind and the body. with
some OF the college grads. that
necessary coordination Il entirely
lacking.
So when you hear Of some bail
player being referred 60 as a brainy

reason the Easter Sunday afternoon
tea is looked upon with favor among
such persons. Whatever may be your
own attitude toward dancing on Sun
day among most Americans there is
still a prejudice against it, as there
ic against the playing of the 'nOisier''
sort of dance music. This is not
really SO much a matter of religious
principle with a good many people but
one of respect for time bonored GUS
tom.
One thing that especially recon-
mends these little Sunday social
gatherings is that since most American
men regard 1t as normal state of
affairs to have to work fer six days
in the week Sunday is the only
time when we can have an afternoon
party that Is attended by both men

THE SUNDAY TEA

WITHIN the last few years the
custom of tea serving on Sunday
afternoon has been growing, especially
in the large cities or city suburbs.
Usually these teas are informal and
there are no special invitations for them
perhaps that is why they have proved
so popular. "If you are out Sunday
afternoon, drop in and have cup OF
tea with us; the Joneses will probably
be around" That is about all there
Is to the usual invitation. And you
go and the Joneses are there and some
interesting people whom you have
never met and there is perhaps little
music and if it is a warm day all
will stroll through the garden and you
go home feeling that you are much
better off because of this little 'tea
party"
To be sure there are some persons
who would feel that this sort of thing
was not quite in keeping with the
spirit of Sunday and those people
you would of course not invite to
have tea with you on that afternoon,
though the chances are that those
very people would accept an invitation
to go motoring on that day or would
have dinner at a hotel in order to
tighten their own household cares.
Easter day, like other festive days,
is with many people day when they
like to see their friends and exchange
the seasons greetings and for that

THE FINGER NAILS

EINGER nails that are unusually
L broad and long, show a disposition
that is uncertain and inconsistent and
subject to bodily ailments. 1t is also
held by some authorities that the pos
SCISSORS of such nails are in danger of
being influenced too greatly by the op-
pOsite sex.
If the nails are long, but not too
long, and properly proportional, they
are an indication of a well-balanced
nature. OF course, this indication must
be read in conjunction with other signs
in the hand. But, speaking generally,
the possession of such nails means a
nature that is affable, agreeable, trust
full. but not too confiding. '"These peo-
pie will from youth understand de-
ceitful purposes" says one authority.
Small. crooked nails or nails that
are bent at the point, or apex, show
ambition, courage and high spirits.
Naturally, such natures are apt to be
self-willed and impatient of contra
diction or opposition.

''Whirr, whirr," said the wild wind
as 1t circled about the tree where Mr..
Chickadee and Mr.. Junco sat, "whirr,

we shall have snow in a short time and
while the snowfiakes seem to dance
down from the sky to you, know 1t
is the Snow Queen who really shakes
them from the long white feathery
robe she wears"
What is that you are saying about

"Whirr, whirr," answered the wild
wind, as 1t tore the dry leaves from
the tree and whirled them about like
dancing brown elves on the ground
below.
and tell us what you mean?" asked
Chickadee. "How do you know so
much about this queen"
Wild wind Gained little and came
nearer to the questioning birds, "How
do know" he said. "Why shouldn't
1 know when I always go to meet her.
/ am getting ready now, that is why l
am whirring and circling about, for
you can never tell just how the Snow
Queen wishes to be escorted from her
home away up North.
Sometimes she comes silently and
shakes her feathery robes over the
land and then again she chooses to
come dancing like a mad Queen, Shak-
ing her robe of feathery white until
there is not feather left and she has
to hurry home and get another robe.

But If 1 stay here gossiping shall

watch out and soon you will see the
land covered with feathers from her
robe"
Away went the wild wind with a
loud whirr, whirr, while the two little
birds sat looking at each other and
wondering if it were all true.
The next day while they sat on a
limb talking it over, little snowfiakes
came dancing down about the tree.
The Snowflake herald., 1922-04-07

They whirled hither and thither, turn
ing over and over before they touched
the ground.
ut is good thing wild wind was
ready for the Snow Queen" said Mr..
Junco. "She must be shaking all the
feathers from her robe; see how fast
the snowflakes are falling?"
Eyes, and how crazy they act" re-
piled Mr. Chickadee. ut will not last
long for the Snow Queen will soon
shake all the feathers from her robe
and have to go home for another -
AS Mr.. Chickadee flew to the top of
the tree to sing merry song, he called
to Mr.. Junco, II have learned two
things since yesterday-that you are
not the real Snowbird and what snow
flakes really are"
