Eastern Coach's Problem Is
to Select Best
| Players
BY ROSS /. cONkL1N.


II basketball coaches have q
heaven. Charley Guyon ought to
be revelling in one. The easy
going mentor Of all that is
Eastern, athletically speaking,
chuckless and smiles, and grins
and then tears off a loud raucous
guffaw whenever he happens to
dwell on the present basketball
outlook in the Eastern preserves.
Guyon has a basketball player
of some merit for every lamp
post in the northeast section Of
this city. He's got more players
than Webster had words. The
tough part of his job is not get
ting the men, but selecting them
from those at hand.
When the Indian Chief howls for
a forward, battalion of young
men step forth. Centers, tall and
rangy, and short and pudgy, and
slow and easy, and fast and furious,
answer his beck and call. Guards
are innumerable. 4 census of the
school is being taken just to estab-
lish their interesting numbers.
For the past two years Eastern
has cleaned up everything in sight
in basketball. This year seems to
rial, Indifferent material, and
Eastern floors. Three men are left
from last years championship team,
and the places of the missing are
being filled by highly ambitious
youths.
For example, Bert Thompson.
Freddy Herman and Jack Smith
are gone. They were cOrking
good men while they lasted.
The going of these men left a
couple of guard positions and center
wide open. Skinny Madigan, Angus
Hickey, and Doc Burch are fighting
for the pivotel assignment. The
floor work of the trio is good. All
are fast, and are good jumpers.
Thev can shoot fairly. How the
deuce can a coach make a selection
In that trio?
Hommy Hook and Jew Benny are
the forwards. Both played last year
and their places are virtually assur-
ed. Bruce Kessler, Judy Radice,
Boots Scruggs, McAllister and FL
Holt are other forwards who are
merrily scramhling for the crumbs.
APPLE Lowden, Hogse Hogarth, Cliff
Zier, Silverman, Burdine, and Slim
Nicholson are centers, guards, for.
wards, utility, or unnecessary &c
cording to the condition of affairs.
The sweet thing about Eastern
Is that the players have worked
together on some one of the North
east independent teams. All know
basketball, all like basketball, and
they keep eligible. For sheer ma.
teTial Eastern. has it all over the
other high schools like tent.
During Christmas HOLIDAYS is the
time when Eastern hits a dizzy pace.
Every alumnus who ever looked
basketball in the seams turns our
and plays against the varsity team,
This year the University of Mary
land team is almost wholly made
up of former Eastern players, and
those boys will be in there showing
their high school successors how
to do it, Jack Faber, Cardwell,
Boyd, Smith, Herman, and others
are on Maryland's team, and they
are in fine condition, as witness
Maryland's triumphs over Columbia,
Virginia, and Others.
Coach Guyon doesn't believe in
mapping out schedule for his
team. lie merely finds his team
without date. and then, hopping
to the phone he's got game with
some team willing to die u noble
death. Eastern loks like a million
dollars on the court,

Wells for years was the idol
of the British ring fans. Six
feet three inches tallg pleasant Of
feature and with the straight car
riage of the British soldier, Wells
was at once a clever boxer and
a terrific puncher. Forty-four
battles appear in his record. Of
these only seven went the limit.
Twenty-eight times did this hand
some artilleryman knock out his
rival.
While serving with the British
army in India. Wells began box
ing at the age of twenty-five and
the following year saw him burst
upon the British boxing stage
with five straight knockout VIC
tories over service boxers.
Then came the first sign of
trouble. Gunner Moir, a mediocre
performer, knocked out the hand
some Bombardier in three rounds
at the Olympia in London. Every
Britisher was stunned and it was
universally thought that the whole
thing was mistake.

old Jack Twin Sullivan, Frank

him on points in twenty rounds.

POSTPONED THEIR SHOW
Will Play for Elks at Americas on
Friday Evening.

At the meeting of the Dawson Con-
cert Band on Wednesday night it was
decided to postpone, for an indefinite
period, the play which they were to
present on the 18th Of this month,
This was done on account of the num-
erous programs presented by the high
school students near the close of each
school year.
1t was decided to have, if possible,
vaudeville on the original date by
members of the band, with music fur
nished by the Terrell County Orches-
ira.
The combined bands OF Dawson,
Richland and Montezuma will play at
the Elks' hall in Americas on Friday
night. This program will be rendered
for the purpose of ascertaining the
ability OF the bands by the Elks.
Should they find the bands proficient
it is possible that they will send the
musicians to the National Elks' con-
vention in Boston as their representa-
tives. All three bands are working
hard on the program to be given on
that night, as a great deal of publicity
as we'll as entertainment will result
from the trip.

A Peculiar Accident at
The Rogers Store Saturday
Falling of 1900 Pounds of Flour
Caused Injuries to Three.

Messrs. w. ]. Goodbred Edward
.Grubbs of Dawson, and Bob Gamble
of Parrot were the victims of very
peculiar accident Saturday. Mr.. Gam
bic made a purchase OF a barrel OF
flour and went to the storage room
with Mr.. Goodbred to get it. The
flour was piled upon a hand truck
and the customer climbed to the top
of the pile and Mr.. Goodbred re-
ceived the sacks as they were handed
down.
For some unknown reason the
truck moved slightly and the whole
mass came tumbling down, Mr.. Good
bred was buried under $500 pounds
of flour and rendered unconscious.
Mr.. Gamble was thrown to the floor
and in falling hit his face against the
corner Of an upturned box, cutting a
large cash across his eyebrow and a
smaller one directly on the eyelld. Mr..
Grubbs was entering the stock room
for the purpose of getting some sugar
as the flour fell and the handle OF the
truck struck him in the ribs directly
above the heart, and also rendered
him unconscious. Mr. Grubbs was un'
able to continue his duties at the store
and Mr. Gamble and Mr. GoodbreC
were much exhausted by their exciting
and painful experience.

|LECTURED ON MALARIA
AND THE HOOKWORM
IA SMALL PER CENT OF BOTH
FOUND BY DIR. FORT OF THE
STATE HEALTH BOARD.

DIR. M. A. Fort, who has been in
the county for some time making a
hookworm and malaria survey, gave
very interesting illustrated lecture at
the Palace theater Wednesday after
noon and night.
In his talk DR.. Fort gave the results
of his Investigations i'll Terrell county.
He said that OF 1880 persons examin-
ed $50 per cent were injected with
hookworm, while % per cent had
traces OF malaria. The first was more
noticeable in the blacks than in the
whites, while more whites were vic
tins of malaria.
Malaria was more prevalent III SaS-
ser and the southwestern portion OF the
county, while the Parrott community
had the least number OF cases. In the
case of hookworm, however, the To-
cality around Parrott led, while the
Sasser community had the fewest cas-
es. An average of % per cent is not
bad for this section OF the state; how
ever that is a much greater per cent
than is necessary.
During the lecture, which consisted
mostly of matters relating to the pre-
vention and cure of these diseases,
DR.. Fort was assisted by moving pict-
ures. Several unique ideas were used
to impress the mind with the number
of deaths from malaria and hookworm
annually. A large crowd OF baseball
fans were shown at a game, which
represented about one-fourth OF the
number who died from these causes
every year. according to DR.. Fort
Two pictures taken under a micro
scope showed a hookworm as it en-
tered a pore OF the skin, while another
showed a baby worm as it hatched
from the egg.
Many Of the scenes shown in the
picture during the malaria talk were
taken in Lee county
All who attended the lecture were
benefited, and DR.. Forts visit 'as a
whole was a great help to the county.
