 carry in their heads two or more sets of signals and as many styles of play. The Boys club had this trouble two years ago when its wonderfully knit combination was almost wrecked by the use of players who also partici- pated in the rougher, looser and more haphazard factory league games; when they played with the club team they often reverted to their dusty league tactics and the team work went to smash. And of course the rule eliminates ringers" professionals, and others | who cannot be tolerated in amateur sport.
 l The local school officials, we un- | derstand, disapprove of the rule but must abide by it. They agree with the regulation in principle. although they feel that outside play should be controlled by them rather than by an iron-bound prohibitory rule. They have no objection to boys playing with church teams and others where the youngsters are sup posedly under good influence, but they vigorously oppose their partici- pating in games with teams which sionalism or underhanded playing standards.
 Unsuitable or not, the clause in the headmasters' rules stands and those who violated it must pay the penal ty imposed this year by the inser- ton of the joker" However, no stigma can be attached to the play CTS, since they disregarded the rule because they did not know of it's existence.
 Down from the regions of Belvi- dere and Clayton are floating the dolorous wailings of automobilists who must, of necessity, use Stanley street beyond Hartford avenue and to the end of the car tracks as an avenue of entrance and exit into our fair city.
 Why they wall, "is so much at- tention given to other main arter- ies on the subject of snow clear ance, while this one, probably the most important of all, and surely the most important to us, is left in condition which would make polar bear rub it's paws with glee and say home again." They grow quite excited about the idea and invite a trip out to their district to prove their statement. recent journey to the disputed ter ritory rather substantiates their claim in our minds and the score for the week is evidently: Snow IS, Stanley Quarter 0.
 Stanley street from Hartford ave- nue to the end of the car tracks is narrow. even in the best weather. To pass ore of the yellow demons which traffic the street and gulp up the car tokens requires a sure hand and steady eye, even in the mid dle of August when nary speck of snow is to be found south of the Admunsen Highway. And now with the snow banked on the sides of the
 
 news reels of the Alps seem merely slight drifts, Mir. and Mrs. Automo- bilst from Stanley Quarter fall in line and parade into town behind the trolley cars.
 One try at the game Is really fun. The car boils along in second gear and the alcohol sinners gently in the increasing temperature. The speedometer rises rapidly to 10 miles an hour Everybody laughs and has a big time.
 The second try at the game isn't as funny. the third event begins to pail and after that 1t becomes a downright nuisance. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday they begin to use harsh words. On Friday they begin to cuss-today they are approaching open revolt in the form of shooting the motorman- conductor of the vehicle and de- stroying the thing with sharp axes Meeting a car coming in the op- posite direction is worse still. The driver has two alternatives, driving into the nearest snow bank and talk ing his chances on digging out again or making desperate try at skin ming past the car. The latter meth cd usually ends up in the garage man saying: Well, I can straighten 1 it out for you all right but new
