COACH LECTURES.

Coach Morgan gave a short lecture
in chapel Thursday morning, with the
subject of school spirit forming the
keynote Of his talk. 1t was at this time
that the plan OF selling tickets to the
basket ball game Saturday night was
suggested, with the result of much
larger crowd in attendance. The stu
dents rallied to the standard OF the
school, and all co-operated to make
the selling of the tickets success.
The students and officials OF the
school wish to thank the one or sew
eral ladies of the town who promoted
the idea of having carnival follow
the basket ball game as a means OF
doctoring the very sick treasury OF
the athletic association. Constructive
criticism on the part OF the public is
appreciated, and any plan pro-
posed will be considered. The school
always asks the cooperation OF the
public, for from cooperation comes
success.

Dawson High Loses in
A Hard Fought Game
Albany Victor by the Close Score of
"a to %. Big Crowd Present.

The large crowd which witnessed
the struggle of the Dawson High
basketeers with the Albany quintet
Saturday night could not have seen a
better game had Dawson won. 1t was
really one of the most exciting and
tense games ever played on the local
floor, and the one point by which the
visitors defeated the locals made little
difference in the class of ball which
the locals played.
The game opened and Dawson
scored first. At the end OF the first
and second quarters Dawson stood in
the lead with a few points margin, but
in the third the order was reversed
and Albany had two point lead. The
last quarter was so hard fought that
although not having as fine players as
some Y. NJ. c. A. teams the game was
Just as breathless and exciting The
Dawson lads cut loose with a brand
of ball that was hard to beat, and met
with an equally fine brand OF guard
ing by the visitors. With a minute LETT
to play Dawson looped in two pretty
ones, giving them a three-point lead
and with only 20 seconds lett to play
it appeared that victory was theirs
but they did not reckon with Dame
Luck and the Albany lads looped in
their couple in the next 20 seconds.
The teams were evenly matched
with Dawson playing an offensive
game slightly more than the visitors.
The largest crowd of the season turn
ed for the game and were well re-
warded. After the fray carnival was
staged downstairs. The Dawson band
was on hand to furnish music, and all
kinds of shows and booths had been
put in shape The crowd enjoyed a
hilarious evening, and about $500 was
taken off the athletic association debt.
This is a third of the amount Of the
OF the school, and two
more such crowds will be necessary
before the slate is wiped clean.

be on the market again this year.

Follow Directions When Building
... Set


Most home builders come to grief
through a propensity to use their own
ideas In preference to the directions
given by the author Of an article on
set construction. There are many
instances where substitutions and
changes may be made, but there are
other instances where the changing
of connections and substitutions of
other parts will lead to endless trouble
Another point to remember Is that
the author takes 1t for granted that
when you have constructed a receiver
and complain about not getting re-
suits, you have followed directions and
have probably made either a misstep
In wiring or were unlucky enough to
get a defective part.
Mention All Changes.
If you write In about having trouble
do not forget to mention any change
you have made in the circuit or parts
called for In the plans.
Ii the plans called for a 0.O0035 mfd
condenser. best results will be obtained
by using that size of condenser. A
smaller capacity condenser will not
cover the range If the coils called for
are used and a larger size will not
give as good qualities. although 1t will
not impair the wave.length range Of
the receiver.
Another point to remember Is that
the sizes OF condensers called for are
specified only for the particular coil

for instance. a bypass fixed condenser
Is required across the secondary ter
minals of the second audio frequency
transformer to eliminate distortion

is necessary because the transformers
work well without such connection.
There are many sets which can be
made to function almost as we'll with
the dry battery tubes as with the
storage battery tubes. In other sets
however, the type of tube used makes
a big difference. This Is especially
true Of superheterodyne and neutro
dyne sets.
In most sets. the design is especially
worked out for the storage battery or
dry cell tubes. and the sizes of rheo-
stats specified are cal:llated for the
types of tubes to be used. In such
cases where other tubes are substi
tuted. the rheostats must be changed
so as to conform with the control re
Quirements Of the new tubes.

Many a fan has come to grief when
trying to substitute dry cell tubes for
storage battery tubes and vice versa

Grafton on one or the other type of

The aerial requirements OF different
types of sets differ. There is no type
