I ALWAYS did my most important
loot ball practicing i'll the Spring
4 time. Now is the time for you
boys to polish up in some of the
points of the game in which you are
weak--or to become even better i'll
your strong points. Spring practice
is highly important.
In the Fall you've very busy whip
ping the team into shape for game.
You are going through signal drill and
scrimmage. You can't get enough of
1t, for 1t takes time to develop team
work. But now it is Spring and you re
not practicing signals nor scrimmag'
ing.
Practice drop.kicking. If the goal
posts have been torn down then make
some sort of a goal OF your own,
What YOU aim for is accuracy and
distance.
Practice place.kickins along with
the drop-kicking.
Practice punting. You'll need an
other lad to practice with you Don
stick your toe in the ball, but catch
it on your instep and swing your leg
high.
Practice lodging, straight armins
and changing the ball from arm to
arm. You can do this all by yourself
if there is no one to work with. You
can dodge through sticks placed in the
ground from three to six yards apart
Run through Them as fast as you can
without Knocking them down.
Practice hurting the ball for the for.
ward pass. ] learned that during
Spring practice. Spread your thumb
and fingers. Put your thumb on a
seam and spread the fingers as far as
possible. And then draw the arm far
back with ball perfectly poised. When
you throw let the thumb loose first

Next to a good eye. the important
point in good batting, is for the player
to have his forward foot and shoulder
closer to the line of the pitch than
the rear foot and shoulder, as in the
illustration on the left. Every good
hitter adopts this stance when he goes
to the plate. 1t enables him to step
into the ball and to get his weight
into the swing. In the illustration on
the right the batter has taken the
wrong stance. His rear foot and
shoulder farthest from the pitcher is
nearest TO the line of The pitch. He

Discuss Value of
Compulsory Insurance
At KiWanis Meeting

The Lions club meeting last eve
ming at the Elmwood was character
lied by the usual enthusiasm, with
much singing of the old favorite mel
odies under the leadership of Lorimer
Dixon, and with an interesting talk
by Walter Austin.
Mr.. Austin's subject was "Compul-
sorry Automobile Insurance" and in
1t he pointed out many of it's salient
features as it is being applied In
Massachusetts. Among many other
informative statements he emphasize
ed this one: That person cannot
register a car in that state unless he
has a liability policy covering it. He
said that there were three ways in
which coverage, could be accomplish
ed, first by taking out regular pol
icy for liability protection; second, by
depositing a bond in the amount of
$4,000 with the Department of Public
Works: and third, to enlist the SER
vice of any authorized surety COM
pany.
The speaker reported on other de-
tails of this law, saying that he did
not think other states would fall in
line at once for the reason that they
We're all watching Massachusetts, TO
see how it will work out there. Many
questions We're asked by members of

which the pupils formally expressed
appreciation for the framed Code of
Morals which is now hanging in the

Full Bench to Pass
On Question Phone
Service Hotel Statler

Boston, Dec. 2S-[P)-T order of
the state department of public utili-
ties requiring the New England
Telephone and Telegraph Co to fur
nish service to the new Hotel Stat
Ter was stayed today by Judge Wait
of the supreme court in order that
the questions raised by the tele-
phone COMPANY might be reserved
for the full court
In behalf of the telephone com
pany it was argued that the COM
pany had contracted to wire the
hotel for telephones at a cost of
$4,000, that Mr.. Statler committed
himself to a local union of eIectri-
clans and refused to permit the tele-
phone company to continue, that an
agreement was reached whereby the
telephone company was to do every
thing except the switchboard, and
that they should do the work since
they were obliged to furnish the SER
vice.
Representatives of the hotel de-
clared that the telephone company
had already furnished service to rs
tenants of the building and said
there were $50 instances where the
company had departed from it's rule
that it must have entire control of
installing every part of the system.
