DARKNESS RESULTS
WHEN CABLE BREAKS
Alaska Cable Ship Summon
ed to Mend Break Out
from DeS MoineS.

Vashon-Maury islanders harked
back TO the Abe Lincoln period
for a few days this week when
studious school boys were crouch
ed around fir knots, studying their
lessons by a Pickering light from a
tallow candle, and young school
girls had to apply the lip stick by
feeling rather than by the rehec-
ton Of plate glass mirror.
It all came about from another
break in the cable which trans
mitS the electric current from Des
Moines TO the islands. The break
occurred about 1000 feet west Of
Des MomcS, and at once Manager
Moore sent out a S. O. S. call for
the Alaska cable boat to come to
his assistance. The boat came
promptly, and by working day and
night the cable was lifted, spliced,
and the Juice" turned on Satur-
night at 1890 o clock.
The Ncws-Record did not have
any chickens to suffer, and no
damage was done except to de-
lay the publication of the paper a

PLEA FOR SUPPORT OF
HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS
Editor News Record F.;

Vashon high school basket ball
team is to play its first scheduled
game in the King county high
school league this (l'riday) even
ing with the strong Richmond
Beach high school team. The
Vashon boys have won the first
two games Of the season with
amateur teams from Seattle, Nov,
25 and Dec. 9, respectively.
This is an encouraging start.
The only unsatisfactory element
is The small attendance so far,
The total receipts at the door for
both games were less than Tl4,OO.
The King county league provides
for $40 expense money to any
team that plays us here, and the
same amount to our team when
we play on the mainland. In adj
dition to this it will cost us about
$40 for an official referee (and he
is worth t). This means that our
scheduled league games cost us
about $50 each, exclusive Of adj
vertising.
In conclusion, gentle reader,
we need your support, both moral
and financial. Parents and friends
must show their interest in these
young men who represent our
high school and the community.
They are going to carry the name
"Vashon to Auburn, Enmclaw
and Richmond Beach. Kent, Fost-
cr and Richmond Beach come
here. Towards the end Of the
season league games will be writ
ten up in the Seattle newspapers.
You can help put Vashon on the
map by giving us your support.
In a recent interview, President
Suzzallo of the University Of
Washington made some statements
that might apply to our present
situation here, and | will quote
them. Education comes first,
football and other sports second in
the college scheme of things. We
have had individual men at times
who agreed with that policy but
today we have an entire coaching
star with that idea in mind.
"The result has been that Wash
ington has reached a plane in ath-
letics which should result in our
winning our share of the games
we enter and, while we are doing
so, turning out real men, fitted
for the world of business, with
knowledge, ideals and the charact-
er to back them up.
To me and to Washington that
means more than to have men di-
recting athletics who win every
game, but for whom we have to
apologize as we see the way they
do it, for whom we have to test
the letter of conference laws TO
the limit, and for whom we would
be worrying whenever they are
out Of our sight.
"Today when Washington
team goes forth we know that it
will play clean and conduct itself
before and after the game as gen
tlemen should. We know that the
men in charge of those teams are
teaching gentlemanliness as well
as how to play, and we know that
these coaches are gentlemen them
selves, and as such,a constant ideal
to the young men they are teach
ing"
| wish to endorse these scnti-
ments of President Suzzallo as Il
fitting ideal for Vashon high
school
