I ( " TEACHERS
TAKE QUIZ

Fewer persons took examinations
for District teaching positions In
special subjects this year than last,
probably due to the higher stand
ards set by the board and q smaller
number Of vacancies to be filled,
according to reports from the
Franklin School today.
Ratings for those who competed
will not be made known until about
February is.
Examinations in academic and
scientific subjects are to be given
at The Franklin School Building
March 80 and 81, beginning at 8
o'clock.
Only seventy.seven, mostly woTn-
en-, tried for local openings on pub
lie school faculties this month,
whereas more than $50 were ex-
amined year ago. Thirty-eight
tried for high schools and thirty
nine for elementary school posi-
tions.
Sixteen examined were from out
Of town: Pennsylvania, New York,
Ohio, Maryland, Kentucky and Vir.
glnia.
The raise In teachers salary
scale last year attracted q large
number Of competitors for the teach
ing posts This year, though, II
was necessary for them to have q
general juhior high school methods
course in addition to a college de-
gree. Also, there were only q few
special subjects posts to be filled.

|SSOUGHT

Another delinquent witness in a
liquor case Is being sought by
Federal officers today, with the issu-
ance of an attachment for contempt
against George T. King, erstwhile
prohibition agent, who failed to
appear before Justice Bailey in
Criminal Court No. !, on December
81, to testify against Norris Cohn,
charged with a second offense Of
sale of Intoxicating liquor.
At the request OF Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Raymond Neudecker,
the court issued an order directing
Marshal Snyder to arrest King and
bring him before the court to
answer the charge of contempt.
In an affidavit filed with the
court by Neudecker 1t is charged
that King told certain prohibition
officials he severed his connection
with the Government last October
and did not propose to testify here
after In any cases. The charge
against Cohn, who has noted an
appeal from q conviction, was that
he sold a pint of liquor to King
two years ago. 1t was stated that
the failure of King to appea" in
court necessitated several postpone
ments of the case.

Hawley---Season Opens
Saturday.

Hanover, n. H., Sept, 20 LPl-For
more than two weeks the thud of
the pigskn aud an ominous rumble
Of activity have resounded In the
crisp September air of the Dart
mouth College athletic field. There,
under the eye of Coach Jess Hawley,
for two years mentor OF Dartmouth
teams, the big green football ma
chine has been Numbering for one
of its heaviest campaigns, Eighty
candidates have been running
through their PAGES daily.
From this material Coach HaWley
has fashioned sturdy, powerful
line, almost identical in composition
with that of last years indicated
eleven. But lis hackficld remains
an uuknown.untried quantity for
| only one of last seasons first string
regulars, "Swcde" Oborlander husky
star halfback, has returned.
Ten Of last years letter men have
been mustered as n veteran nucleus
for this years team. Eight are line
mon. Hence, rich in line material,
, The biggest problem Of the coaching
staff has been 10 develop an almost
entirely new set of backs.
Loavitt, bulback: Hall. left half
back and Dooley. quarterback, are
gone. 1t has been hoped that
"ITlash" Fallon, Doolcys understudy.
would take his place at quarter this
year but recent operation has cost
l'alIon all chance of playing this fall.
Up to the present, LOOMS, second
string halfback last year. has appar-
emily been favored for the quarter
berth. Marshall, a former end, has
been calling signals on team r.
Robinson, first string substitute
halfback last year, and punter ex-
traordinary, is ono Of group Of
four promising halfback candidates.
The fullback berth is not so serious
a problem, for Horton, who won his
letter last year against Cornell is
available together with McPhail, last
years freshman captain, and STAR
rctt. former Worcester Academy
star. McPhail, Zig and Powerful,
seems destined to play an important
part in Dartmouth's campaign,
With two exceptions the Green
line is the same as that which went
through last season undefeated while
two substitute tackles, who won let
ters in the 1924 season are also avil-
able. For wingmen the Green has
