of Alexandria tomorrow afternoon in
the Central gym at 3:15 o'clock.
With only one letter winner, Capt,
Ken Fisher, left from last Winters
crack team, Bert Coggins, Central
coach, says he is absolutely up in the
air as to his prospects, though he prob
ably will have a better idea after to-
morrow's game, and an even better idea
after the advisory marks, which &c. IN
Friday, are known. Right now he has
some twenty players, none OF whom
shapes up so hot" according to
Coggins.
However, If the Central coach is able
to do. as we'll as he generally. has with
his material, the Columbia Heights
team will be a hard combination to
beat in the championship race. Cog
gins in recent seasons has specialized
in taking green and none too prom1s-
ing squads and making bang-up quintS
out of them.
No regular captain will be elected by
the Business High basket ball team this
Winter. Instead, Coach Lynn Wood
worth will pick a leader before each
game to serve only for that contest.
jake Lewis and Morris Denniberg are
the lone seasoned players on the Busi-
ness squad, which was to start practice
this afternoon in the Stenog gym.

court coach at the West End school.
With a group of clever seasoned per-
formers from last seasons squad and
likely appearing bunch Of tossers
from the 1928 lightweight team at
hand, Moore is optimistic as to the Red
and Whites prospects.
Anthony Latona, who showed sensa-
tionally at times last season; Hunt,
Wood, Hatfield and the Thompson
brothers, Herbie and Jimmy, are the ex-
perienced tossers available.
Freeman, Goubau, Eaton, Wyatt,
Rabbit, Baer and Bouic are other
candidates who are shaping up well.
AS a whole the squad Is young and
not overburdened with experience, but
has q fine spirit and Coach Moore be-
lieves it will make creditable showing.

Devitt's foot ball eleven Is by no means
conceding Gonzaga an advantage in
the annual game between the old rivals
SATURDAY. In Grifith Stadium. The
game will settle prep school supremacy
and close the schoolboy gridiron season
hereabout.
Handicapped by injuries, the record
of the Dewitt eleven for the season has
not been as good as that of Gonzaga,
but the former hopes to have its full
strength on the field Saturday and its
followers are confident 1t will furnish
the Purple a better battle than is gen.
orally expected.
Gonzaga has won seven Of its nine
games SO far while Dewitt has lost four
of its seven matches. Among the

the only formidable contender for the
District prep school title, aside from
Dewitt and GonZaga.

AS CHICAGO COACH
''I'm a Young Man," Declares
Mentor, Who Has Been
Coach 81 Years.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
~HICAGO, December 4.-"Retire?
Absurd! I'm a young mani"
This is what Coach Amos
~ Alonzo Stagg, the grand old
man" of foot ball, told the AS
sociated Press today in answer to the
persistent rumorS that he planned to
call it day-his last day-on the grid
iron.
Why, I'm only 66," Stagg chuckled.
"I haven't missed a days practice in
years. I've got as much pepper and
vigor in me as any young coach I
know Ask my boys if I've still got the
spirit and fire necessary to coach a
foot ball team. Retire? I've been on
the job for 81 years, and I feel IS
though I've got 81 more years left in
me-
That is the way the "old man. feels
about it. And that's the way his legionS
of friends and admirers, in the sport
and out of it. wherever foot ball is
played feel about it. They never have
seen the old man quit. Not even when
he waited tables at Yale and lived in a
garret, working night and day-and
was graduated as one of the greatest
athletes Old Eli ever knew, and one Of
it's finest scholars.
Chicago has just completed the most
disastrous foot ball season in its his
tory" Stagg admitted. "And the pros
poets do not look good for next years
team We haven't the material at Chi
cago. We never shall have, as long as
our entrance requirements and eligibility
requirements are so high. have
known scores of great college athletes
who wanted to play foot ball for Chi
cago-but they went to other schools
because they could not get in at Chi
cago, or because they could not stay IN.
Coach Stagg refuses to express his
opinion on the univerSity's scholastic re-
quirementS-the secondary school aver
age of 85, for instance. AS long as he
is a member of the faculty of the Uni
verSity of Chicago, he promises to be
loyal to its standards and regulations.
So Stagg is not going to retire. How
can he, he asks, with his 18-year-old
son Paul a prospective foot ball player?
He'll have to keep right on the job,
Coach Stagg promises, because If I lay
down, my boy might take a notion to
do the same thing-and then I'd be out
one foot ball player"
Paul Stagg won his numerals this
season as quarterback on the freshman
team, and shows signs of duplicating his
fathers great athletic career. Both
father and son are ardent tennis play
ers. Coach Stages older son, A. A.
Stagg, jr, is freshman foot ball coach,
and father Of 1-year-old A. A. Stagg, 81.

the staggering total of 1850 points to
their opponents IL.
The 1928 season, just concluded, was
the leanest so far as collecting points

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. g. A. u. Reed

You and your children viii prob
ably marry. That Ii to say. you or
they will probably mate according
to the laws and customs under
which society maintains its exis-
tence. OF course, mating and the
bearing OF children may occur
without this social contract, but
this il always most unfortunate
for both the man and the woman
and their children. as well as for
society in general. Ny point II
that the bearing Of children and
the transmission OF traits from
parents to offspring Is . purely BIZ
illogical process independent Of
legal and social forms. The still
more practical point II that these
known transmlssible traits ought
to be considered as elements Of the
ideals governing selection in mar
riage.
There is one type Of inheritance
in particular that ought to be
taken into serious consideration.
1t accounts for great many Of
the rarer abnormalities which are
constantly cropping zip and which,
at first sight. do not seem to be
markedly hereditary.
III a person of either sex suffer
ing from q disease of this type
has children by normal mate,
then. according to Haldane, the
children are all normal but all
carriers. Such children are trans
mitters of the trait. They, in
their turn, transmit that carry.
ing business to half their children,
and so on. So, IL two such car
riers happen to meet and marry,
the defect will crop UP in, on an
average. one quarter of their
children. That type of character
ist;c is known as the "Mendelian
recessive." Among the things
which are transmitted in that way
are some trivial ones like "alban-
ISM" The pink eyes and white,
or very pale flaxen hair, may
make you conspicuous, but is hard
~ a thing to worry about very
seriously. But some very grave
diseases are also transmitted In
this way too. One is called by
the preposterous name Of haema-
toporphrinuria. In this condition,
IL, for some reason, you go into
the sun, you develop blood blisters.
This makes it necessary for you
to live away from the sun. IN a
cellar, in the summer. Mental
deficiency and many forms of in
sanity belong to this group. The
superstition that cousins ought
not to marry is derived from ob.
servation of these recessive charae.
teristics. That is because two car
riers are far more likely to get to-
gether If cousins or relatives get
married than IL two stocks are con-
cerned.
This kind of transmission is
important because il limits the
possible scope of eugenics. Dis
eases of this kind can hardly be
stamped out by eugenics, as
there must be thousands OF
carriers.
All the eugenists can do is to
discourage the marriage of cousins
in affected families. But this
point, once ascertained and pro-
tected, there Is no biologic rea.
son cousins may not marry. But
the transmission of "Mendelian
recession" has occurred with suf-
ficient frequency to have re-
suited In the enactment of stat
utes against the marriage OF
cousins in many States.

DANDELIONS
A NUISANCE

Could a vote be taken for the
worst OF all lawn weeds. the
golden blossomed dandelion would
probably take first place. But
dandelions are not without their
good points. The flowers and
buds are used in making a bev-
erage. the roots are utilized in
medicine. while the young. sue
culent leaves may be boiled as
greens or sailed away in crooks for
winter use.
Dandelions are able to maintain
their supremacy in the green's
ward, according to Nature Maya
zine of Washington. because of
the fleshy roots that live from
year to year and the trouble
making habit of producing flow
ers and seeds so close to the
ground as to be entirely out Of.
reach Of the mower blades.

Painting, as a feminine accom-
plishment, went out of fashion at
just about the moment when the
new dances came in and afforded
a woman a simpler and easier
way of getting into mans
arms.
That faraway, contemp1ative
smile on mans face may mean
that he is thinking something nice
about you-and again land more
likely, 1t may mean that he has
just thought Of something nice
about himself.
Somehow, 1t was lots easier to
get the lawn cut, the car washed
and the piazza painted in the
good old days before the spread Of
the golf mania.
The man who is the most des.
perately in love is usually the one
who comes out of it filled with
