Playing the Game

An interesting event took place in
the High School assembly room We'd
nesday afternoon when a Redwood
blanket, cardinal and white, was pre-
sented to the most valuable student
in the school during the year.
Last fall member of the faculty
offered blanket as an honor prize to
the student considered of the most
value to the school, in the classroom
and outside the classroom. By value
to the school is meant-has the STU
dent really played the game, has he
fought for his school, has he materi-
ally contributed to the building up of
that intangible thing school spirit,
has he showed the proper spirit of
cooperation and what qualities of lead
'ership has he developed and used.
Has he been one of the mass or has
his personal influence been felt. The
honor of being the most valuable stu
dent and the blanket fell to an athlete
and a boy, Karl Englund, Junior
and captain-elect of the 1924 basket

Robbins Bros.
Here June 10th
VARIETY OF ACTS MAKE SHOW
ONE OF THE MOST ENTER
TANNING.

There are twelve distinct features
with the Robbins Brothers Wild Ami
NAL circus that are really in a class
by itself. Among these are:
Big Lion act worked by Capt. Fur
tell-a feature long to be remembered
by everyone.
Mixed Group of Wild Animals
consisting of jaguars, leopards, pu-
mas, mountain Hons-directed by L..
LaFercentia-the daring Frenchman
who fiirts with death daily in max
ing these ferocious animals go thru
their various stunts.
Mountain lions, with Miss Ruth La
Nova as trainer. This is one of the
prettiest and most acceptable offer
goes through some very dangerous
acts. Her performance is marvellous.
Seals and sea lions, with Capt. Tie
Dor as trainer. These animals are
the neer of anything in the sea lion
line. His seals are all willing work
ers and the star of the act-gather
the biggest novelty ever presented in
his line. These pigs-six in number
are highly trained and go through
some amusing stunts. To say that
you have trained pigs with the show
is enough show novelty.
Goats-Ross Ashcraft has five well
trained goats. They play leap frog,
do the teetertotter, walk on their hind
legs, turn sonImersaults--they enter
tain you.
Ponies-The twenty-four Shetland
ponies with the~s show are under the
direction of Earl Sinnot,. equestrian
director. There are two groups of
ponies. They do the usual military
drills.
The Song of the Doves This is a
beautiful number presented by Miss
Dorothy Martin. She uses horse
and twenty beautiful white doves in
this act. While singing, the doves
come to her from all parts of the big
tent and form beautiful picture
Elephants-There is no use going
into details of an elephants act. They
have been used by circus companies
for ages, yet it would be no circus
without the Elephant act.
Ten Polar Bears-Real white polar
bears from the frozen north. And
they give a most marvellous perform
ance, Capt. Furtell. head trainer of
the Robbins Circus has rebroke these
animals and for the coming season is
presenting great novelty.
These acts are by no means the full
programme, but really occupy the
center of attraction and are really the
base of the show. The usual circus
numbers are given. A big feature of
the event is the big parade.

EIGHT RUM SHIPS
CAPTURED IN CHASE;
FLEET IS SCAT TERED

BOSTON, Oct. 27.-The rum rows
off Cape Cod and Cape Ann were
scattered today as a result of their
first major enga cement with the
prohibition enforcement navy and
eight prizes were tied up at docks
here and at Gloucester and New
London, Conn, with more than a
score of prisoners. The coast guard
cutter Tampa yesterday brought into
Boston harbor the New Foundland
two-masted schooner Marjorie E.
Bachman, rum laden, and five
American motorboats. Another mo-
torboat was taken into Gloucester
and one into New London.
The eight prizes, with their crews
and contraband liquor, valued at
500, 900, represented weeks oper-
ations of the Tampa, assisted by a
squadron of fast rum chasers Oft
Block Island, Cape Cod and Cape
Ann. The captured vessels were
taken in a running battle Friday in
which the Tampa used her three
inch guns and pursued a, scatterin 8
rum fleet for more than an hour
near StellWagon Banks, 20 miles of
the coast, at a point half way be-
tween Capes Cod and Ann. In the
fleet OF rum ships were more than
dozen vessels, according to coast
guard officers, including several
British and French crafts. A num-
Der of American motorboats plying
between rum row and the shore
were surprised by the raiders.
Some of the speedier vessels dis
regarded warning shots from the
Tampa and on these the smaller
boats of the enforcement fleet open
ed fire with machine guns and
rifles. Numerous chases proceeded
in the haze OF the early morning.
None of the rum vessels returned
the coast guard fire. Officers said
that more of the rum fleet could
have been captured had the coast
guard force been willing to fire di-
rectly al their quarry.
The Marjorie E. Bachman is a
new vessel, registered from st
Johns. n +. She carried $50 cases
of liquor valued at 100000.
