 Fresh from their win over Tor rington high in the New City on Sat urday night, Naugy high is now pointing for their contest on We'd nesday night against Warren Hard- ing high of Bridgeport at the local "Y." Warren Harding was awarded the contest against Naugy played in Bridgeport on Saturday, January 24. when Coach Foley withdrew his team from the floor due to rough tactics by the Bridgeport team which nearly precipitated riot. The ma Jorlty of local fans seem to be- con- ndent that Naugy can beat Warren Hardlng high at any old time under the right playing conditions. With strict enforcement of the rules of the game anticipated at Wednesday nights contest, the Park City outfit should be in for toss.

In early days skating was often done by persons who wore breast bones of animals tied to their shoes. These homemade" skates worked fairly we'll, but. better. ones. were used in later years-skates formed of wood with metal runners. Then came the all-metal skates, with steel runners. These were clamped to shoes by means of levers. Sometimes they would come off and the skater might fall.
 Clamp skates are still used, but far better ones have been invented in the form of "shoe skates" The runners of shoe skates do not come off until the shoes are taken off after the skater is through with his days sport.
 During my boyhood one of my older brothers often went skate sailing" Holding a sail shaped very much like a giant kite, he seemed to have great fun letting the wind speed him over the ice.
 I never went skate-sailing, but l had many thrilling moments "sled- sailing" I am not sure that any one else ever followed that form of sports, but I assure you that 1t gave me much enjoyment.
 Aafter mailing laths together so that they made a frame about the size of a common window screen, l covered the frame with canvas. Carrying this oblong sail to the lake near which I lived, I seated myself on sleed and help up the sail to see whether the wind would carry me along. Sure enough, 1t did! For more than a quarter of mile, l rode before the wind!
 Ice sports are great fun. but want to say word of warning. If you want to venture on ice. be sure that it is thick enough to hold your weight. It is not good sense to walk on thin ice.
