ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
THE NEW LEAF
BY MARTHA 8. THOMAS


WYE TALK about turning
w over a new leaf at New
Years. How about turning over
Sur brains? Most of us work
these factories in our heads
about half-time and half-capac-
ity. When a new idea walks in
we hustle him out before he dis
turbs the quiet of the place.
Why not let him ramble about
and stir up the old machinery
If he makes a racket and starts
a fight with all the old ideas, let
him scrap 1t out. You can clear
!. up the damage afterwards, and
will probably feel amazingly re-
freshed. The trouble with most
of us is a deep-rooted aversion
to enlarging the works!
Let's put in a new window
now and then, oil up the c0gs,
find a place for new thoughts
and have a grand time with our
selves!
Luther not only turned his
brain over when he nailed that
famous letter on the church
door, but about the whole world,
as well.
Newton only needed an apple
as a self-starter towards the
Idea of grayltation.
Shakespeare looked about him
at the everyday dolngs of "high
folks and plain folks" and see
what he accomplished.
You never can tell whether
you're a genius or not until you
scrabble around in your own
head and produce something!

For Season of 1926
Especial to Kennebec Journal

Waterville. Me, Dec. S.-Maynard
Warren Maxwell 81, of South China,
was last evening elected manager OF
the Colby football team for the fall OF
1926 by the athletic council. and FL
wood Jean Hammond, '2S, OF Dexter,
was chosen assistant manager.
This is the first time an election OF

system adopted by the vote OF the stu
dent body last year. Formerly the
managership was entirely dependent
on the vote of the undergraduates but
under the new plan he is elected oy
the athletic council. The council acts
upon the recommendations or the
coach, the manager and the director
of athletics. although the suggestions
of these men are not final and the
council can choose either man. Max
well is very we'll fitted for the position
as he has earned it by hard work dur
ing the past two years, and in addition
will be fine representative or the
college. His executive ability is also
n point in his favor and Will be great
asset in his position.
Maxwell is senior next year and
came to Colby from Bosses Brown
school of Providence, r. l. He is a
member of the Mystics, the sophomore
honorary society, and also belongs 10
the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.
Hammond has been very faithful TO
his duties and we'll deserved his new
position. He is member of the Delta
Epsilon fraternity.

Would Permit
Use Of ROsin by
Big League Hurlers

New York. Dec. S.-(AP)-The Ma
tional League went on record at its
annual meeting today as favoring
modification in the playing rules to
permit the use of rosin by pitchers.
Improvement Of the game in general
and curtailment in the quantity of
balls used throughout the circuit. in
particular, were the motives Of the
magnates, who sat through a session
of more than four hours without tax
ing definite action on many problems
which were brought to New York from
every point of the circuit. They will
further discuss the unsettled ques-
tions tomorrow at a continuation of
the meeting as American League rep
resentatives meet in the Belmont Ho-
tel.
A report from President Heydler
showing that 3s47 dozen balls were
used in the league last year preceded
consideration of the playing rules. Mr..
Heydler pointed out that his total was
245 dozen more than were used the
season before and 1890 dozen more
than were put into play in 1920.
The leagues position with regard
to the use Of foreign substance on
the ball, under pan for several sea-
sons, he declared, would be placed be-
fore the joint rules committee of the
major and minor leagues.
