SPRINGTIME
White Spring.
BY ID. C. PEATTIE.

There is a time of spring when
all the world seems yellow-with for
sythia and daffodil, spice bush and
cornell. There is even period when
blue predominates, with squill, hya-
cinth, and grape-hyacinth; and when
the magnolias, peaches and early
Japanese cherries were at their
height, pink filled the streets of
Washington. But Rhis week is
white week, whether in the city or
in the country roundabout.
The garden cherries in suburban
yards, and the wild cherries, along
the woods and creeks of Maryland and
Virginia, scatter their dainty charm
abroad. The familiar, ever delightful
apple is In flower, with it's rounded
shape, in pleasing contrast to the as
pirlng upward habit of the snowy
pear and the graceful plum.
But of them all, the shade bush
has I'm some ways the most lovely
flowers of the week of white spring
blossoms. Graceful and slender, they
are as often trees as bushes, and
possessing an indubitable sprightly
charm. The April showers may shake
their bride-white blooms. but cannot
harm them. For a brief space they
light up all the woods. Tradition has
ii that they come to bloom just at
the time when shad go up the rivers.
Washington's Izaak Waltons may
challenge this, but from this belief,
at least, does the lovely shad brush
take it's name.

bcfore the days of the 1ncaS, a primi-

Like the inhabitants of ancient
Greece, they were aware of the stra-

lost in Europe before the era of the
first Crusade. The ancient builders
constructed three lines of salients, eX-
tending on terraces, one above an
other, for a third of a mile across
The back of the hill which oyershad-

The terraces are faced with colos-
sal powders, some of which weigh
over 20 tons, and most of which were
brought from quarries in the noun

Of handling and placing in position
such enormous and extraordinarily
irregular blocks, they were fitted to-

ment was used in the construction,
the strength of the walls being due
TO the very irregularity of the blocks
and the method in which they were
locked together. 1t is almost incred-
ible that a primitive people should
have had the courage and the pa
tience to carry out such an enormous
undertaking.

HOW IT STARTED
"For the Nonce. :"
BY JEAN NEWTON.

Frequently in modern writing and
even in modern speech when it is
of the flowery, oratorical kind, we
come across the phrase 'for the
nonce," meaing afor the present, for
this particular occasion,
The expression has an Old World
flavor and it is to olden times that
we must go for it's origin. 1t is one
of the few almost literal survivals of
the old Anglo Saxon tongue. which,
though it is the father of our speech,
is usually buried beyond recognition
in the changed syllables which con-
stitute modern English.
For the nonce'' is a relic of the
Middle English for the nones," "a
corruption of the cotemporary for
then ones" the M being a relic of
the original Anglo Saxon, and the
phrase meaing literally the one,
single, particular or present. Its orig
inal significance has been preserved
in the phrase which we use today.

Smartness i'm Black Taffeta Goats

The fact that taffeta is spoken of

hand with more bouffant, fuller modes.
When the aim and ambition of the

TRINITY TEAM SEEKS
TO REGAIN ITS LOST
PRESTIGE AT DENTON

WAXAHACHIE, Tex, Nov. o.
Battling to regain the prestige lost
when they were defeated by Simmons
and Southwestern, the Trinity Univer-
sity Tigers have been working hard
for their game with the North Texas
State Teachers College Eagles ut
Denton today.
Barry Wolton, coach Of the Tigers,
who has led Trinity through her most
successful gridiron season of recent
years, says that stupidity" was the
cause of the 0-to-7 loss to the Sim
mons University Cowboys but that the
Southwestern Pirates completely stop
ped the Tigers, stopped them as no
other team has this year.
While Trinity scored one touch
down on Simmons and had the ball
on the 1-yard line again only TO nc
prevented from scoring by penalty,
the Tigers never had n chance 10
score against the Pirates. Trinity
never had the ball within Southwest
ern's 30-yard line. advancing to this
point only once.
1t is probable that a few minor
changes will be noted in the lineup
Of the Tigers THANKSGIVING Day.

FREDERICKSBURG HI
GIVES FAIR WARNING

FREDERICKSBURG, Nov. 90
1t is noted with a great deal of inter
est here that Coach Cannon Of Brack-
enridge High already is talking of a
game with Waco for next week. But
what if the little Fredericksburg team,
with a squad Of less than %, should
defeat Breckenridge Saturday?
1t is entirely within the pale Of
possibility that Coach Klinglehoefer
will send in winning team against
Cannon's powerful aggregation Sat
urday, fans here think. And he is
putting forth every effort with that
end in view, even though his star 100
pound fullback, Gilbert Henke, is ont
Of the game with bad ankle. At least
the supporters of the Maroon and
White are banking on the locals put
ting up a fight that will please the
most ardent football fan in the Alamo
City.
Fredericksburg has a weight average
in the line of 153 pounds and back
field averaging 157 pounds. The fight
ing spirit Of the entire team and the
individual work Of Weaver and HitZ-
field in the backfield and Hirsch and
Schaefer in the line should give Brack-
enridge something to think about.
Fredericksburg has played six league
games this year, winning five and
tying one. These games were: Kerr
Vile, defeated, 10 to O.; Boerne, de-
feated. ~ to o; Comfort, defeated, 81
to o: Mason, defeated, 20 to z; juno
ton, defeated, z to 0, and Brady, tied,
~ and u. -Four Of the six games
were played on the local gridiron, with
opposing teams failing to score point.
The total of 173 points TO their oppo-
nents' 10 give the Fredericksburg boys
n high rating in Class u football.

which Friery wants to get in the
game against Main.
Coach Cannon wants 10 win Thurs
days game more than any on his
seasons schdule, but, following it, he
faces a pair of hard Interscholastic
League contests with Fredericksburg
High and Waco, and, if possible,
would like TO save Friery for par
ticipation in the state race.
Little was disclosed in the Brack-
enridge camp at Wednesdays practice.
The team went through light signal
drill, and ~Squawk" Veltman, who is
scheduled 10 fill Friery's shoes, pol
ished up his punting.
Captain Mona" Rees spent half an
hour sailing 40-yard passes to an
imaginary receiver. and Hildebrand,
substitute lineman, stood on the 40
yard mark and shot drop-kicks
through the uprights with monoton-
Gus regularity. Herring, a Main
High hnesman, may also do some
drOpkicking in the game.
Preceding the light practice ses-
sions, pep rallies were held in the
auditoriums Of both schools. Cheers
were practieed and pennant and horns
distributed TO the students. Brack-
enridge fans were equipped with ban
ners encrusted with the teams new
insignia, an eagle with outstretched
wings. Il scream for Breckenridge
was under the eagle. "Me for Main"
read the North Side posters.
Two hundred tickets for a new
referved section between the 40-yard
lines went on sale early Wednesday
afternoon and by night practically
the entire number had been gobbled
up. A steady stream Of fans asked
for pasteboards at the Broadway and
II. Y. Moore sporting goods stores.
The crowd at Thursdays game I'M
doubtedly viii be larger than the one
which witnessed the Breckenridge
eleyen's 15-to-0 triumph over Main
last year, as more seats have been
provided. Stands extend Gle length
Of the field on both sides, with a
small sedion in the south end zone.
Raised platforms have been provided
on each side Of the field for the
school bands.

SHOCK TROOPS
START FOR
ROCKNE
By WARREN w. BROWN
BY UniyersnI Service.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. eft you
have shock troops prepare to use them
now" appeared to be the slogan of the
camps of Notre Dame and Nebraska,
for the opening Of today's annual
football fracas, which has succeeded in
interesting this great state to the ex-
tent of $4,000 paid admissions, or
about three times the number attracted
here for any other game this season.
Coach Rockne of Notre Dame who
first discovered that shock troops were
useful, agreeable and suitable for
game-starting purposes, intends to send
out IL young men to do the best they
can. and keep on doing it as long as
Nebraska doesn't do any better.
Coach Ernest Bearg of Nebraska
hasn't been able to find out whether
ROckne will start mis- "shock troops"
and has been quoted to the affect that
he may start some Of his own. But
today Coach Bcarg said he wished he
had some "shoclI troops" TO start, and
wished he had almost any kind Of re-
serve material; in fact his lamenta-
tons over the loss Of Stiner, fine
tackle, was equaled only by the signs
Of distress of Rockne whenever he
gozed towards "Texas Christy" Flnn-
agan, who came here with the team
with a bad shoulder, but left his foot
ball toys at home.
The other Notrc Dome casualty, Rex
Enright, is all right, and will get into
the game If needed.
While Nebraska hasn't had a very
successful season, for one reason or
another, they are prepared to give
the fighting Irish a battle. and try to
make up n lot of lost ground.

Notre Dame team than the present
one came out here and suffered a de-
feat that startled the football woE-1.
