ITO REPORT

Swamped by the 110 candidates
who have reported for the Tech
baseball team, Coach Nal Ed.
wards faces a difficult task In
handling such a large group and
plans to cut the squad down to
workable size shortly. From this
squad he expects to. Gull the most
likely candidates and begin as
sembling a nine which he hopes
will be able to give Eastern a
battle all the way for the high
school championship.
Included in the large and en-
thusiastic group of Maroon and
Gray players are some known
quantities among the battery men.
Capt. Bennie SpiegeI, who is ex.
pected to handle most Of the
slahbing burden once the inter.
high series gets under way, is
one of these. Three other highly
regarded pitchers are Batson,
Woolard and Crice, while Gus
Crensiaw and Heflin are the
catchers of known ability. Cren-
shaw bids fair to win the regular
receiving job, having served as
first relief receiver LAST year.
Neither Central nor Dewitt
Prep will elect its basketball
captain until next winter
when court campaigning il
resumed. Both squads are
hard hit by graduation in
June and each deemed it ad-
visable to defer election ofa
leader until next winter.
With small but highly Ca
pable squad Of performers engag-
ing in daily workouts, Dewitt is
planning an active track schedule
that calls for dual meets with
Eastern, Georgetown and C.. y,
troSh and participation in the
Central &C" Club games. Abrana-
son, Bernard, Knott, Norton and
Sudtarch are the athletes now
going through training PAGES for
the impending campaign on the
cinder paths.
Coach Paully Byrne is devoting
most Of his time these days. to
spring football practice with his
st. Johns Cadets. He has a large
but green squad of about 35
candidates working out on the
Tidal Basin field. The prelirni-
nary work consists mostly of
fundamentals.
The revised basketball schedule
calling for single games twice a
week in the interhigh series for
1930-31 has been approved and
adopted by the faculty advisers.
The new arrangement replaces
the double-header system which
has been in vogue since 1920. The
actual playing season will last
twice as long as heretofore. the
season opening December Is and
closing March 4. ~

BOXING RING

Bill Stronger, the hard-work.
ing graduate manager of ath.
letics at St. Johns College over
in Annapolis, is always devising
some plan whereby the annual
expenditures for athletics can be
cut down.
His latest invention" is a port
able boxing ring that can be
rigged up within 20 minutes. It
is possible to have basketball
game and within half an hour of
the end of the game to start a
boxing match.
Four sockets have been
placed in the basketball floor
of the St. Johns gym. These
sockets are covered with brass
tops which are unlocked with
key. Into these are placed
the ring posts with hooks to
which are attached the ropes.
These ropes are placed at
least three feet inside the
posts and are heavily padded.
The mat itself is placed on
four iron sidings which are at.
tached to the four posts. The
mat will be hooked to these
sidings to prevent sliding from its
position.
The mat can be raised to any
position desired. Stronger plans
to have the mat flat On the floor
and arrange seats so every spec.
tator can SEQ the bouts. st,

collegiate boxing and wrestling
matches for 1930-31 and Stro,

doubt there will be many of the

highway department. Men are now
at work in this territory getting

Protect Little Children
From Harmless" Pills
Parents Warned Against Leaving
Safe Medicines Where Babies
Can Get Them

St. Paul Dec. 22.-Among the per-
lis that lie in wait for small chill
rem within the harbor, Of their own
homes, headache. pills, cathartic
pills and tonics are among the
most deadly. -..
Nearly one-hundred children, I'M
der age of five die every year in the
United States because someone was
careless with pills. These figures
are secured by the Minnesota State
Medical Association from the limit
ed statistics supplied by the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company.
Exact figures on the numbers OF
these pitiful deaths are not avail
able because no tabulation is made
by the Bureau of Census as to the
ages or causes in deaths, by acct
dental poisoning. It Is the belief of
the medical committee that ade-
quate statistics would show twice
that many deaths each year from
this entirely avoidable cause.
MANY of these pills that are
known to have produced fatal con-
vulsions were not marked in any
way to indicate that they might be
dangerous to children" the bulletin
says.
Many were supposedly harmless
cathartics regarded as safe enough
to leave around anywhere.
Every adult should know" says
these medical experts that the ma
jority of carthartic pills have a
small amount of strychnine in them
and often a small amount of bella
donna. There is enough Of both in
them often to send a baby into IA
tai commissions within an hour or
two if he has managed to get his
hands on the box and swallow a
few. e. ua
The pills are pink and sugar
coated or attractively covered with
chocolate. They look and taste like
candies. They go down easily and
he seldom stops to chew on them
and so never discovers the bitter
ness inside" ..
Many of the unexplained cases Of
fatal commissions are believed, by
up-to-date physicians, to have had
their origin in someone's box of So
called "safe" pills which no one
thought to investigate before or af-
ter tragedy.
The moral for every parent and
for every adult who lives in house.
hold with children is this, in the
opinion of the medical association
committee: Never leave drugs or
pills of any kind, no matter how
harmless you have supposed them
to be, where a child can get at
them.
Every death by accidental poison
ing of child is an avoidable death.

Paving Cement Orders
Contracts Let for 1881 Highway

Cement purchases are made
whenever the market appears to be
favorable. Last year the cement
bids were taken in October. AS a

Minnesota Highway Patrol
Jails 1850 In One Year
Tags and Warnings Outnumber
Arrests. 80 to L; Many Motor

The figures are taken from the

custody, and gave directions and
aid Of various kinds to 157, 1893 mo-
florists. Fines imposed totaled $780,
760 and money received from auto
license corrections is estimated at
$10,576. The men travelled LOIS, 939
miles in the discharge of their
duties.
Of the arrests 535 were for driv-
ing while drunk, 1926, for improper
use Of license, ITO for careless driv-
ing, and 1872 for failure to stop at
arterial highways. Of the cars TAX
en- in custody, 4S5 were for driv-
ing while drunk, 1926 for improper
license, II abandoned on highway
and 16 stolen. OF the fines collect
ed $27,621 was for driving while
drunk, $5,011 for improper license,
$1.916 for careless driving, and ST.
202 miscellaneous.
Some Of the traffic violations
which brought warnings to motor
lists were: improper parking, 1883;
driving in wrong lane, $3.50; speed
in congested area, 5, S39; improper
license 1854; improper lights, 3,O23;
through stop sign, 1855; improper
passing 780.
The faulty equipment which
brought the greatest number of tags
included: no rear light, 9,068; one
head light, 6,719; license obscurred,
1859; no rear vision mirror, 1,165;
no muffler, 1,130; light out of ad-
justment, 1924; illegal brakes, GA;
illegal lights, $50; Windshield wip-
er, SIG. Where tags were given for
faulty equipment or faulty license,
the owner or driver is given 48
