ttonally good In leading the inter-
ference on an end run and ut the
same time he would not be able to
do this on q line buck.
Must Know His Men
The man directing the piay
must know who are the bLst
blockers, the best pass ers and tire
best line plungers. All these
things have TO be taken IL
to consideration when Il comes to
selecting the play. !,
However. these are not half OF
the worries OF a quarterback He
must watch the downs very close.
IL. He must know the distance
from the opponents goal. He
must keep track OF the score to
know whether 1t is necessary 10
play an open game or to stay Oh
the defense. OF course, on a gooi
football team all OF the other 10
men should keep these things In
mind as well as the Quarterback.
Yet II the quarterback should fail
to have this right at his grasp
their chances Of winning would be
very slight.
Another requirement Is a good
voice. BY this do not mean one
that is so loud that It can be heard
from one end OF the field to the
other. He must be distinct in Civ.
ing out his numbers, but does nut
necessarily have 10 below them

l have seen some men playing tiiis
position who were good directorS
of play, but their voice was such
that It would tire them out before
the game was half over
In our play at Centre We did not
call him the quarterback. Here Il
was the field general. Our backs
weyV numbered according to POSI-
tons In the back field. Any man
could call signals and our posi-.
tons were frequently alternated.

playing teams for the simple
reason that the personal foul
rule has been made more
drastic, and the compulsory
calling of personals will elimi-
nate most of the stars before
the finish Of any game II they do
not play a clean game.
Basketball in the Monongahela
Valley, especially among the high
schools, is just as fast and as
clean as any place in the United
States. Tho popularity with which
the game has grown in this sec
ton has proved that the spectators
like to see good clean basketball.
The elimination OF a player by the
personal foul does. not necessarily
mean that the player eliminated
is rough and Intentionally fouls. In
most cases 1t is Just the opposite.
The payer who has been com.
PEELED to leave the game because
OF four personals fouls is one who
is playing good hard basketball
and who committed all of his
fouls more by accident than in,
tentioually, However, the rules do
not leave any loophole for the of
ficfals, and they are compelled to
call all fouls whether Intentional
or accidental.
Change in the rules are as fol.
lows:

strike It with fist. Section 0.

pleted a dribble, unless the ball

touched another player. Mote
Passing the ball from one hand to
another is not dribble unless the
ball is clearly batted. The ball
may be batted In the, air only once

Ball shall go to the opponent out

nearest the spot where the viola
ton was committed.
This change in the rules is one
Of the most important changes that
has been made In years. In sum-
ming this rule up, 1T does away
with the try for point that has
heretofore been allowed on all
technical fouls. This rule will tend
to speed the game up and should
make It more interesting for the
spectators. Another very import
ant phase OF this rule will be- to
eliminate the officials from slight
ing the personal foul rule. The
penalty for ali personal fouls is a
try for goal while for techinal
fouls the ball goes to the oppon.

BASEBALL
Tuesday, July 4M

On July 4th, Caps million dollar infeld
quaftette, produced class of ball that is
seldom exhibited here, barring none. Be-
ing able to spear the high ones and scoop
ing up the low ones, as we'll as making
spirited stops of the fast ones, aided them
in tucking the scalps of the South St. Paul
Stockyards under their belts by a score of
8 to 4, for their seventh successive victory.
The game was filled so full of thrills
and spirited plays that it held the local
fans spellbound from beginning to end
In fact our hearts almost refused to func-
ton properly until the last man was
thrown out in the final frame. The locals
got two run lead in the early chapters
and this they maintained until the open
ing of the fifth round. The visitors then
came from the zero point and forged
ahead of the locals by one count. How
ever, in the last half of the same frame,
the locals gained back what they had lost
and still had one counter to the good.
From that on to the end of the game the
locals were never topped but this feature
was only accomplished by putting up
superhuman defensive.
Feyerhensen was on the mound for the
visitors and delivering his goods from the
port side, hey was able to pitch an artistic
class of ball. Shu., was the first man to
face him and he got single to right and
was advanced to second on DePs sacrifice,
Feyerhensen to Aknok. Dts struck out,
but on Calls double to left Shu scored.
Eos struck out retiring the side with two
hits, one run and no errors. The locals
were blanked in the second but they regis
tered again in the third. Shu led of,
drawing a base on balls, and stole second
and was advanced to third on Dels sacri-
fee, Kelley to Aknock. Dts (Paes 4, Dol. y

called Ell Templete, which marks the spot
where the first mass was offered by Span
ish priests when Havana was founded in
1919. This tiny temple, which was built
as memorial to the illustrious discoverer
of a new hemisphere, Columbus, was dedi-
Gated in 1928. 1t contains three paintings
by the Spanish artist, Escobar, illustrating
episodes in the early history of Cuba.
Close by this interesting memorial is
the old Spanish fortress of La Fuerza. 1t
was begun in 1888, half century before
Moro Castle was started. This dates
back to the time of fernando de Soto, who,
in May, 1889, when he was governor of
Cuba, set out on the expedition during
which he discovered the Mississippi river.
1t was in that old fortress, too, that Dona
Isabel, de Soto's faithful wife, watched
through the long years for the beloved hus-
band who never returned, and there with
in its grim old walls she finally died of
broken heart.
Only two blocks away from this inter-
esting square in the heart of the city's
Older part, there stands most venerable
relic of Havana-the Cathedral. This
building is of native limestone and a fine
example of Spanish architecture whose
beauty has been enhanced by the mellow
ing effect of its many years. Built by the
Jesuits in 1904, it contains a number of
very old paintings and other features of
interest 1t has long been known as the
Columbus Cathedral because for more
than 100 years it enshrined bones which
were solemnly declared to be the remains
of the great discoverer himself.
The Prado is beautiful street right in
the center of the business section of Hava-
ma. Of generous width, it has grass and
tree lined promenade extending the entire
length of its CENTER walk where many
residents love to while away idle hours.
Its lower end joins the famous Malecon,
fashionable boulevard along the edge of
the ocean for several miles.

IN TEXAS

An umpire of the Texas League stood
grimly on the field
He stood by his decisions-not an atom
would he yield
The bricks flew by in hundreds, the bottles
whanged and crashed,
Long bowie-knives were brandished, and
thousand pistols flashed!
Said the umpire, cold, defiant. "Not a
chance to frighten me,
For my father was a Blackburn and my
mother was a Lee
One-half of you would slay me, for they
think my verdict wrong,
But the other half are with me, and that
helps the fun along!
Go to it then. YOU Texans-when the slain
are heaped upon
The field by tens and twenties, then we'll
let this game go on"
So the Texans bravely battled, and the
whizzing bullets fed.
Till by p. m.-fourth inning-all the
audience lay dead!
Said the umpire: "Count the slaughtered
are they dead, yes, one and all
No one left to hoot decisions? Then get
busy, boys-play ball"

ONLY A PICTURE OF HOME
SWEET HOME

Hung in life's gallery, memory reveals
pictures so dear to the heart.
One as gaze seems so lifelike and real,
that teardrops unbidden will start,
Of an old fashioned cottage mid green
fields and trees, how oft it appears in
my dreams.
Two little urchins and one of them, me,
are playing close down by the stream.
Chorus:
Only a picture of home, sweet home,
dearer than all to me,
Only picture of days gone by,
Treasured in memory.
Only picture that ne'er will fade, tho far
away l roam DER land and sea,
Fairest to me is that picture of home,
sweet home.

EVER A SONG

There is ever a song somewhere, my dear,
In the midnight black, or the midday
blue;
The robin pipes when the sun is here,
And the cricket chirrups the whole night
through;
The buds may blow, and the fruit may
grow,
And the autumn leaves drop crisp and
scar;
But whether the sun, or the rain, or the
snow,
There is ever a song somewhere, my
dear.

BUCK UP

Whenever you feel weary or meet with
deep despair,
Instead of throwing up your hands and
saying don't care;
Throttle it with both hands, its neck
swiftly break,
For, when God planned this world, He
made not one mistake.
He is not the cause of heartache, or any
other pain;
If you are suffering, friend, you your
self are to blame.
Don't sit down and start to whine, that
will never do;
Buck up, be man, the sun still shines
on you.
Remember, there's a silver lining behind
the darkest cloud
Instead of being mopish, swing in among
the crowd,
Be one of them, and sing as you move
along
Joy and rippling laughter will follow
your song,
For there are many in the crowd who
need just bit
To start them going. Friend, your song
may do it.
Forget about past failures, whether small
or big,
It's the future that concerns you, so
jump in and dig.
Should you meet any trouble, just change
that name
To, another rung in my ladder, step
nearer to fame.
1t doesn't matter what you do, nor when
you begin it,
But when you start thing, put your
heart and soul in it.
