OWLS AND HAWKS

= Be Aired by Connie
Mack Today
STRONG INFIELD ARRAY

Eagle Pass, Tex, March 14.-Start-
Ing this afternoon and continuing until
the teams start North for exhibition
contests. Connie Mack. mandger Of the
hard working but sand smothered Ath.
letics, promises to hold daily games be-
tween the Hawks and the Owls. Every
thing is contingent on the wind, which
Is kicking up an awful fuss down here.
Straining nt the. leash to get into
action and anxious to impress the lean
tactician with their prowess afield and
at bat. the contingent representing the
hope Of Philadelphia fandom for bet
ter place in the baseball sun, the vet
Grams and rockies are held back by
Nature in the form Of sand clouds that
make life miserable on the ball field.
The way the wind blows and the
manner in which the sand gets into
everything. including the athletes pores,
Is as much topic of conversation here
as the teams propects for the coming
season. The old saying is that it is an
i'll wind that blows nobody good. The
players are willing to waive all that
for calm and less sand.
Today is an important one in the
camp of the Mackmen. Connie has an
nounced that some time in the course
Of the hours before the sun sets he will
have an announcement to make re-
garding Eddie Rommel. the right
handler. who has been holding out for
more lucre. ana Joe Hauser, the Mil
waukee lad, who demands some Of the
purchase money in the deal that sent
him to the Athletics. Mack has been
in communication with the players and
evidently has arrived at some agree
,nent with them. Hauser is expected to
sign his name to the hotel blOtter most
any day, but Rommel is still man Of
mystery so far ms anything definite, con-
!cerning him is known.
The Baltimore youth should be a big
help to the nine out at Twenty second
and Lehigh avenue this year, II he
finally decides to accept any terms and
hops the first train out Of the Oriole
City for these parts.
Mnck's infield array is causing no end
of comment In these parts. With at least
two men for every position and all Of
them showing unmistakable signs of
having the goods, Connie is in for diff.
ficult task to select his team. At the
present time it looks like Johnston at
first, Dykes at second, Galloway ut
short and Galloway ut third. Sheer,
the down east recruit, is almost certain
of sticking, while Barrett, Maitland,
BRAZIL and Hauser, when he reports,
will battle bitterly to get into the line
up.
The outfield at this juncture looks
like MCGOWAN in right, Welch in cen.
ter and Tillic Walker in left. Bing
Miller, Whitley Witt and Malone may
displace any Of the trio. 1t is almost a
cinch that Mack will retain FIVE out.
ficlders and he may keep all six. Un.
questionably he will make many changes
in his lineup during the early part of
the season, particularly where Witt is
concerned. Whitley is consistent 800
hitter and should see lots Of action In
the next campaign.

In addition to assemblies and lectures by the English leaders, we were re minded of this week by posters and signs displayed at conspicuous cor ners of the building. But this year, all this will be done away with. In its place will be substituted this open me eting and the debate arranged by the Debating club. The entire pro gram will be in their hands and they assure us that the program will be no mean one both in the duration or time and excelbency.

\. s. PAPER LAUDS LONG
 DAY AND YEAR Spokesman for Students Claims Longer Day
 Beneficial

In an editorial in their school paper students of the high school show themselves to be in approval of the longer school day and year. The article demonstrates that those whom the ruling affected most are heartiest in their praise of it and are quickest to perceive the beneficial results of an extra half hours instruction each day.
 Fewer Holidays
 Recently the Board of Education has decided that the school year must the number of school holidays which generously at the end of the year. big object was to meet the college requirements in hours devoted to sub iects more exactly and to give tax payers their moneys worth in efiu- cationaI advantages. Those who com plain Ioudest afe not the earnest workers. They are not to be consid- cred seriously. The serious matter is to got as much we can in the school time allotted. If this plan is carried out consistently. the percent age of students entering college on high standing should be increased ard the number If pupils passing suh:ects should be greater. Shorten your school time and you decrease the time allowed for explanation. The average student is greatly benefited by this schema. We have more of this variety than any other. Hence the new ruling.

able landings. The whole design ought to permit the school to be emptied in three or four minutes.
 One school specialist pointed out the necessity of having the school smoke proof, and the fire exits protected with suitable walls and doors. and such as are in constant use by the pupils.
 Judged by this standard there is not a school in Bridgeport, it is said, that is properly equipped with fire escapes. The outside fire escape as Captain john Tague showed in his talk Co tlle Bridgeport Rotary club, is more apt to lead to disaster than to prevent it.
 In modern practice the base ment is dispensed with. The base ment is the ire breeding part of the building. It s a serious m jury to the Bridgeport High School on the Hill, that the gym naslum is down in the ground, veritable cellar. and that there Is so much underground space costly to create, and not suitable to use.
 Natural lighting varies from community to community, ac- cording to the latitude, but the principles are the same, and are familiar to any architect. even to those who are not specialists in school building
 It appears that a large number of school buildings are inferior because floor space is not effec- lively used. The space given to instruction varies from forty to TO per cent The waste plan ming is usually done by architects are good men in their lines bur who do not understand the use of the school
 Not all architects are agreed upon the economy of the one story school. They believe the two story school presents certain elements that make 1t in the whole more advanta geous. The exits in the one story type are numerous, there is an excess of corridor space, and water and heating pipes have long runs.
 Nevertheless the elaborate ex- periments in Cleveland give a contrary conclusion.
 As to the design of the school inquest. .onably it must be worthy and to this end it is not neces- sary to pay for expensive orna.- ments or gawdy construction. s mple design and simple mater ials may be made appropriate by the talent of the designer
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-10-28

High school athletics, especially basketball, is coming in for strict supervision of scholastic standings oi team members. if the new eligibility rules are strictly adhered to. At the annual meeting of solons of High school basketball over the entire state more rigid scholastic rules were adopted, requiring the participant ot any athletic game to be of a passing mark in at least 1 6 subjects. In ad- dition to high mark rulings the stu dent who wishes to play basketball must have entered the school seVer3 weeks previous to the opening of the season for this sport. He must be under the age of 21.
 These same rulings or their equiVa- Tents have been in order for several years but it has been the custom of the coaches and teachers to wink a trif1e at low mark in order that the team might not be handicapped by the loss of a star through failure to keep up his passing grade. Recently however. since colleges began to in terpret literally the rules regarding eligibility, High school masters have adopted a like method.
 Henceforth the student who plays on a team must also be a scholar. The local team of basket chokers is com posed almost entirely of veterans. Unless these boys adhere to the ruses and maintain a high average marking they will be ineligible for the team. This tendency to neglect studies mt the team hard last season. A coach who finds his material excellent and sees prospects of a championship D team may oftimes become disappoint- ed and discouraged with his galaxy of athletes whose marks force them to play the game from the side lines. The local clan will no doubt realize the full import of the strict rulings on athletic eligibility before it is too late.
 Hartford Today.
 A gcodly delegation of rooters will accompany the battered Bridgeport CTS to Hartford to cheer the locals on to victory. Not one of the athletes who participated in that hectic SeS- sion in Harrisburg last Saturday came out of the fray unscathed. Many re- ceived minor bruises it is true but the scars however temporary will be re- membered for, many years. Bridge ports 70 to 0 lacing at the hands of the Coal Miners is to be regretted though expected. Few persons who knew the famous Penn State Techn1- cal schools team gave the locals a look in.
 This Harrisburg Tech offers a six years course to the students who at- tend. Previous to their entrance into the Tech school the prospective mem ber of the Tech team receives two school So each Tech player had the advantage of eight years football ex- perience against the locals two, and in many cases one. Indeed several donned the cleated shoes until this wear.
 The Hartford fracas will terminate with Bridgeport on the topside of the score The up-staters have nothing to boast about, having played but few games of g. weak schedule. In their weakened condition the locals cannot be censured for losing this
