Team Candidates" Is the title OF
an article by Physical Director s
Harry Ashton OF the Wilmington
High School IN the Christmas num-
Der of The Whisp," student publ
cation of the school. The article
follows:
There has been a great amount
I OF discussion about school spirit or
| the spirit Of the school in Whining
ton High School this year. II has
been truthfully said that a team
without the support of the school is
greatly handicapped. Perhaps the
rule might work out In the reverse.
A team, or better. men on a team
squad who do not have the proper
attitude will greatly handicap the
spirit of the school. Unless the at
titude Of the candidates OF the va
rious teams Is radically changed.
Wilmington High School IS in dan
ger of having a spirit OF discontent
and indifference. Without going into
details as to past performances Of
the team members. let us. at once.

First the pupil who wishes to
try for a place on a team must be
determined. Determination Is a de-
cision and the candidate must de-

Ing of the squad. in every practice,
and in every contest. without this
purpose a pupil should never step
on a play area of any kind.
THE second qualification is con-
centration. The candidate must
think of all the departments of the
game-and he must never become
careless or Indifferent. He must
follow the tnaining rules carefully.
for a mediocre player in excellent
condition is of greater value TO a
team than a star who is not in con-
dition.
THE player must be unselfish. He .
must remember the games are for

There are many other quallfica-

Dear Referee-In a certain bas-

of the game twice. He was later
sent in again. After reporting to
the scorer and referee Il was found
that he had been taken out twice.
The referee told him he could not

The referee was right. Section 4.
Rule 8 OF the Joint Rules says:
"A player who has left the game,
except for disqualification for four
personal fouls or for other dis

SURVEYS OF ROAD BUILDING
MATERIALS LESSEN COSTS

Road material surveys now being
made in several states will give con-
tractors a more definite basis for
bidding on road work and result in
cheaper costs of construction, says
the Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
In making these surveys, supplies
of stone. gravel. sand, Stag and other
materials are located, samples test
ed and information secured as to ac-
feasibility, freight rates and other
factors. This information is of per-
manent value as supplies are rarely
exhausted. BY furnishing a contrac-
tor information as to the location OF
satisfactory materials one element OF
risk is removed, and some of the
states report that they have definite
prof that such service has resulted
In decreased bids.
The bureau OF public roads in the
course Of its operations has tested
some 5000 samples OF rock, sand
gravel and Stag, and reports are now

Trees of Great AGE.

The lime tree at Morat, planted at
F'ribourg on the day of the celebrated
battle. is one of the oldest trees in
Europe. This glorious event in the his
tory Of Switzerland, having occurred Ia
l47G. the venerated tree, which is en-
circled by IA colOnnade and of which
the aged branches are upheld by a
framework of wood, must be almost
$50 years old.
The fir attains a still greater age.
In some of the most ancient forests
of Germany. situated on the summit Of
the Wurzelburg in Thuringia, as many
as 100 annual layers have been counted
on some of the trees cut down there.
The olive tree, so revered in ancient
Greece and which inspired such beauti
fu verses in the tragedy of Oedipus by
Sophocles- reached much greater age
recording to the ancient myth. Pliny
even asserts that in his time the cele-
brated olive tree which Minerva caused

was still TO be seen in the citadel OF
Athens.
