A team composed of Bowdoin
sophomores will play the Augusta
American Legion at City Hall next
Tuesday evening. The Legion has a
game pending with the Richmond
Legion at Richmond for this Friday
night and the team will so to Bath
December II. The management is
finding it difficult TO furnish dates
to all the teams that want games and
so the chances are that Augusta. fans
are due to see some tough battles
this winter.

ton on the City Hall floor before the
season ends.
The loss of Ken White to the pop
ular indoor sport was blow from
which Bangor fans will not recover
for lon gtime. White was one of
the most scientific players in the
lineup and won lot OF games for
Bangor.
On one occasion Smith Dunnack,
playing guard on the Colby Comets,
was playing against Ken White, who
was holding down a forward position
on Bangor. Ken got the ball on the
dead run and Smith, who had tried to
stop him in every way possible,
grabbed hold of both Ken's hands at
the wrists. Whereupon Ken wriggled
his fingers and netted two points.
White could shoot with just one fin
ger on the ball. He was one of the
cleanest players in the game and just
who will succeed him as the hero of
basketball in Central Maine will
probably be decided before the sea-
son is over. Augusta fans will have
a chance to look the best of them
over before the season draws to a
close.

in aiding his government.

For the moment, it appears most
likely that further efforts to re-
store peace in Nicaragua through
theexercise of American good offices
will be attempted. If successful,
such efforts could be expected to
modify if not eliminate the Mexican
angle of the situation by destroying
the market in Nicaragua for guns
and ammunition from Mexico.
Meanwhile, Secretary Kellogg's
expression of concern over outside
interference in Nicaraguan affairs
and the obviously increasing tension
in Mexican-American relations is be-

grave aspects.

Fugazy Must Get Managers
Consent and Logical Contender

New York, Nov. 9 P--Humbert
Fugazy, if he wishes to sign Gene
Tunney to bout involving the
heavyweight pionship, must
take two factors into consideration
Tex Richard declares.
First, he must secure the consent

Richard sounded this challenge
to Fugazy yesterday in reply to the
announcement OF the promoter who
staged the Berlenbach Delaney light
heavyweight title match, that Tun-
ney would fight In 1927 for the man
offering the best inducements, and
not necessarily Richard. Richard
admitted the champion was correct
in stating that he is not bound to

u. S. GOVT. GIVING CAREFUL HEED
TO NICARAGUA'S PLEA FOR HELP
No Comment Made.


Lacking official representations
from the American government
Mexican officials have declined tc
comment directly. Their attitude,
however, is that it is only natural
for Mexico to desire sphere OF
influence in Central America, where,
they feel, its interests are Identical
to those of the Uuited States; that
he American government has no
right to criticize Mexico for these
desires, and that, while individual
Mexicans may have aided Nicara-
guam revolutionists, the Gales gov
eminent has not interfered in Mica
raguan affairs. Furthermore, they
argue, individual American citizens
have been guilty of similar activity
on behalf of revolutionists in Mexico
and other Central American coun-
tries. ...I.-
OFFICIALS Silent.
Efforts to ascertain here what
might happen if the new diplomatic
attempts to end the Nicaraguan dis

Officials also have refused to COM

MORE Children
Think FOR SELVES
Exercising Own Opinion in
Present Age

New York, Nov. 10 R-Children
today are being allowed to exercise
their opinions much more than they
were a decade ago.
This Is the conclusion of Miss
Helen Ferris, editor OF The Ameri-
can Girl, based upon survey made
by the Girl Scouts among hundreds
of members between 10 and s years
of age who read the magazine.
Choosing Their Clothes
THAT parents are consulting their
children, said Miss Ferris, is re-
vealed in the fact that of the 1903
girls replying. seventy per cent, for
instance, indicated that they were
allowed to help in the selection of
their own hats. SiXty-two per cent
had voice in the purchase of shoes.
and thirty-three per cent helped to
select their own books
Even more significant, believes
Miss Ferris, were the 706 girls who
make their own selections indie
pendently.
I'm the matter of hats, for ex-
ample, twenty-five per cent make
their own selection, Twenty-Five per-
cent choose their own shoes and
twenty-six per cent select all the
furnishings and the decorative
schemes for their own rooms"
Books Greatest Freedom
In the matter of books and writ
ing materials more girls were al
lowed the privilege of independent
selection than in any other item.
1T Is important, in line with the
trend Of modern educational meth
DDS, the girl be allowed at this age
to exercise her powers Of decision"
says MISS Ferris. For it is only
thus that she will gain self-confi-
dence. At this age the girl wishes
tremendously to go on to the world
OF adult activities and interests,
and knows she must go on. Yet she
is overcome with timidity and a
feeling OF her own inadequacy. More
than anything else, she needs self
confidence, the knowledge that she
can select and plan and carry out
her share of the worlds enterprise"

mapping once with Delaney but that
never will happen again."
Gibson denied all knowledge of
Fugazy's reported conference with
Tunney. although he admitted the
meeting probably was held. There
has been nothing done so far and
nothing can be done until promot-
er comes out with an arena and a
challenger
Fugazy, as yet, has been unable
to obtain a suitable indoor arena.

UNITY YACHT RACING
North American Union Adopts Rule
to Standardize Measuring OF All
Boats.

New York. Nov. 19.-P)- The
North American Yacht and Racing
union has adopted resolutions de-
signed to unity yacht racing
throughout the world by use of a
standard rule of measuring boats.
The resolutions, adopted at the
annual meeting of the organization
here, instructed the committee on
measurement rule to confer with the
permanent committee of the Inter
national Yacht Racing union for the
purpose of reaching an agreement
on desirable modification of the in
ternational rule of measurement.
President Clifford D. Mallory OF
the union declared that adoption of
the proposed changes would mean
a boon to yacht racing. Changes in
the code of measurement will not
mean the scrapping of the racing
yachts affected by this rule. he ex-
planned. Only six meter boats, ORR
ginally built under the European
system, will be changed and eight
and ten meter classes will be added
under the proposed new rule.
