SANFORD GIRLS
WERE BEATEN BY
LOCALS LAST NIGHT

The girls basketball team of the
local high school, le6 by Miss Hamil-
ton at forward, played rings around
the young ladies from Sanford on the
local court last night, defeating them
by the score of eighteen to eight
The Sanford girls presented the
smallest group of girls seen on the
local court this season and what they
lacked in size they more than made
up for in speed and fashy playing
Their speed seemed to dazzle the To-
Gals for the first few minutes of play
and had them guessing for the best
part of the game. The team work of
the locals got to working after the
game was about five minutes old and
from then on the result never was in
doubt. Miss Hamilton, playing for
ward for the locals, was the indiyid-
ual star of the game, scoring baskets
with east.
For the visitors the work of the
Misses Spencer and Holley was the
outstanding features.

DUVAL TIGERS
STAGE VICTORY
OVER LAKELAND

The Duval Tigers basketball ma
chine proved too much for the local
high school team and had little diff
ficulty in piling up 50 to 10 victory
on the local court last night The
Tigers, led by Jones, Harris and Reed
showed a speed that seemed to dazzle
the locals during the first half and
scored almost at will, the half ending
with the score forty to eight. In the
last half the locals seemed to over
come a little of their stage fright and
held the Duval machine to total OF
nineteen points. Jones, playing at
forward for the Tigers, was the indi-
vidual scoring star of the game,
amassing a total of fifteen baskets.
For the locals the work of Gillespie
at forward was the outstanding fea-
ture.
"Red" Davis, sporting editor OF the
Jacksonville Metropolis, who accom-
panied the team, remarked after the
game that it was the cleanest he had
ever witnessed Not once during the
first half was it necessary to call
foul on either team. The one-sided
score does not tell the story of the
battle by any means. The playing
was fast throughout but especially in
the second half when the local Lads

The Tigers can boast of one of the
finest high school teams in the coun-
try. Their short passes were well
nigh impossible to break up as they
moved with machine-like percision
They were never once out of position
and knew exactly which mate to pass
to at all times. Teams like Duval
brought to Lakeland are the out
growth of playing constantly together
and keeping in shape the year around.
Lakeland need not feel ashamed of
their showing. The Lads tried hard
at all times, and never once faltered
against heavy odds. Capt. Parrish
and Monetta gave the visitors plenty
of trouble with their fine floor work
and the captains long goal from mid
die court was a beauty.

seeking a new explanation of the
glacial periods. suggests that such
canopies could be formed by the fall
of rings of matter external to the
atmosphere. Being afterward re-
solved into belts. they might give
rise to strong climatic zones. until
their final disappearance by descent
to the earth in the form of dust. lie

CofOrs of the Earth.

THE wonderful difference between
the same landscape in winter and
in summer is a phenomenon familiar
to all dwellers in The temperate zones.
The two great elements of change are
the presence of snow in winter and of
leaves and grass in summer. II we
could look at our globe from the moon
the variation in it's aspect due to sea-
sonal changes would perhaps bo even
more striking than it appears to those
upon its surface. In fact, we some
times lose sight of the very important
part that vegetation plays in giving
color to what might be called the
countenance of the planet
1t is not the higher forms of plants
that always produce the greatest
effect in this way. Some of the most
striking scenes upon the earth owe
their characteristic features to mosses
and lichens. The famous crimson
cliffs" of Greenland, which extend for
miles northward from Cape York, de-
rive their splendid color from the
growth OF red lichen which covers
their faces. The cliffs rise between
LOO and 1000 feet straight from the
waters edge, and. being composed of
gray granite, their aspect would be
entirely different from what it is ex-
cept for the presence Of the lichen.
Coming to less magnificent but not
less beautiful scenes. the rocky pass
called the Golden Gate to Yellowstone
Park owes it's rich color and its name
to the yellow lichen covering it's lofty
walls: and the indescribable hues of
the great hot spring terraces arise
mainly from the presence of minute
plants feurishing in the water that
overflows them.
Considered as whole. the vcgeta-
tion OF planet may give it charac-
teristic aspect as viewed from space.
Many have thought that the red color
of Mars may be due to the existence
of red instead of green vegetation
there.
That its broad expanses of forest
and prairie land cause the earth to
reflect a considerable quantity of
green light to its neighbors is indi-
Gated by the fact that at the time of
the new moon sreenish tint has been
detected overspreading that part of
the lunar surface that is then illumi-
mated only by light from the earth.

Curious Customs of Schools

CERTAIN of the old customs re-
~ tained in English schools seem Gu
rious to the American student. Their
excuse for being lies in the past. and,
robbed of all meaning, they play a
senseless part in the drama of school
life today.
Within the last fifty years many of
these practices have been abolished
in the conviction that, however valu-
able historical tradition may be. much
of it is useless lumber, hindering
progress. Such a law, for example.
as for many years was nominally in
force at Eton, was, on the face of it,
ridiculous.

aged place in school life. and yet to
get to this permissible spot Etonians
must go on forbidden ground.
The rule could not, of course, be
actually enforced. When a master
met a boy on his way to the river the
master looked the other way and the
boy ran into shop.
A small Etonian got into trouble
one day by demanding fulfillment
of the letter Of one of the old Gus
toms. According to a statute of
Henry VI, on one day Of the year
every colleger was entitled to receive
three pence or half sheep. three pen-
MES being the value of half a sheep
at the time the law was passed. On
the appointed day the bursar would
appear in the hall and give each boy
his three pence.
One day, not so very many years
ago, a small and impudent pupil de-
manded the half sheep instead of the
money. The bursar fiew into terri
