SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Bow Scouts-TrOOp 25

After kicking a football around
the playground for half an hour,
the Scouts of troop 25 adjourned
to the Junior High Gym and began
the indoor portion of their meet
ing. Scout Richard Borgmann I'M
dertook the task of giving the
Scouts a fair idea of how to march
properly. In order to participate
in the Mass Ceremonial event of
the coming Camporee it will be
necessary for the boys to be able
to execute some of the simpler
commands. A part of the next
meeting will be devoted to prac-
ticing, so that Troop 25 will make
a very creditable showing when
marching with the other troops at
St. Cloud.
Shortly after this drill the Scouts
had a very pleasant surprise
awaiting them. Philip Wernig had
accepted Scoutmaster Kowalke's in
vitation to visit our troop meeting.
He gave a very interesting talk in
which he brought out the fact that
a Scout should do things without
being coaxed or urged; do things
without asking, "How much will I
get for it?"; do more than just
enough to get by, and develop the
important human characteristics
of responsibility and not the ire
sponsible, careless attitude which
rots character.
Mr.. Wernig them told the troop
about many of the adventures
which he had while serving the
German army during the World
War. He concluded by very en-
phatically denouncing war, and
urged the Scouts to avert possible
wars in the future. The Scouts of
Troop 25 appreciate the interest
which Mr.. Wernig has shown
toward them and hope he will pay
another visit soon.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Many suns and moons and SHOWS
ago there was born to Na-quil, god
of the sky, and his wife, a son.
Now Na-quil, who had all the
storms, rain and snow to attend to,
as well as the thunder and light
ming, was very busy. But just the
same he sat down on the edge Of a
cloud and tried to think Of the best
gift he could give his son.
Because he lived in the sky, Ma
quill was very fond Of blue. And
Na-quil remembered that once he
had seen a blue stone exactly the
color of the sky.
So Na-quil pounded on the edge
of the cloud and Kee Yay, his help
er, came running.
'sBlue beads are the finest things
In the world" said Na-quil. my
son shall have many blue beads.
I'd better fly down and ask Ools
Kah Stee where those stones are
''Here are your wings" and Kee
Yay handed him the claws, beak
and wings of golden eagle. The
wings are seven feet from tip to
tip and Kee Yay can hardly lift
them.
"While you are flying, are you
going by that valley over there? 1t
Is only q thousand miles, and they
need rain badly" said Kee Yay.
"No, I'm in a hurry to get the
beads" said Na-Quil. "Ools Kah
Stee goes to bed with the sun. I
must hurry"
"But, the Great Valley needs
rain badly" said Kee Yay.
It'll send them some," promised
Na-quil.
Na-qd1l had put on all Of his
eagle suit except one wing. He
had not put his arm into the right
wing yet, so with his free hand he
gathered up cloud and rolled 1t
into q ball. Then he threw the
ball a thousand miles into the VAL
ley. The ball hit against hill on
the other side of the Great Valley.
Then they had rain In the Great
Valley, and Na-quil flew down to
visit Ools Kah Stee.
Ools Kah Stee is a great snake.
He lives down in the earth and he
Is king of the Underground. His
name means Fearless" but when
he saw Na-qul flying toward him
he moved near his hole.
"Good flying to you," said Ools
Kah Stee.
1.-The same-I mean, I wish you
good weather." said Na-quil.
"The weather could be BETTER"
replied Ools Kah Stee, looking
over toward the Great Valley. "But
can I do something for your"
"Yes, I am going to give my son
q string of blue beads to veal

 WON'T ALTER PLAN
Annual Game Set for Fen- way Park in Hub Town Worcester in 1882

Chestnut Hill, Mass, Sept 22- This falls annual Boston college Holy Cross football game will be played on November 2s at Fenway Park, Boston, as scheduled. But the 1882 Jesuit grid classic will be held in Worcester, it was an- nounced last night by John P. Curley, graduate manager of ath- letics of Boston college.
 The game was originally sche- duled and contracted for this date and place but out of deference to the Worcester Chamber of Com merce and its request that this years game be played in Worces- ter the matter was re-opened and given the full consideration by the Boston college athletic authorities due to the proximity of the two colleges and the fact that a large attendance is assured when the game is played in Boston. It has been held there every year. But this year because of the Dartmouth Stanford game which will take place in the Harvard Stadium on the same day as the Boston Col lege-Holly Cross game. the Wor- cester Chamber of Commerce sug- gested that the game be played in Worcester.

Dr Godfrey believes it o. k. fol the boys to go through with prac. tice today, but Coaches Lee and Schofield will not be able to act until official word comes from the superintendent's office. In other words whether the Crosby and Will. by teams will workout this after noon is still a mystery.
 Schools in Hartford and other cities are closed due to infantile paralysis, but the boards of health in these localities seem to take the attitude that gatherings of boys every afternoon in the open air for grid practice and exercise are not apt to prove harmful.

VARSITY REFUSED
 IN YALE PRACTICE
Aggressive Scrub Team Holds Regulars Score less in Long Workout

New Haven, Conn.,, Sept. 22.- Yale's first-string eleven yesterday had the hardest battle of its pre- liminary season of scrimmages, be- ing held scoreless by a hard-fight- ing scrub eleven in the longest scrimmage session so far.
 Taking the ball at midfield, the varsity marched to the scrubs A. yard line, but the Grey line stiffen- ed and Parker's forward pass to Taylor failed. Given the ball at their 20-yard line, the scrubs, on some fine running by Glenn and Mac Williamson, brothers, brought it back to midfield, the ball finally changing hand on downs.
 Parker, Crowley and Taylor again took it to the Award line, but were subjected to the same treatment by the scrubs, another incomplete forward pass giving the ball to the scrubs. Head Coach Stevens then substituted an entire new first-string team, the practice last until 6:30 p. m.
 Captain Albie Booth was in full uniform yesterday and took active part in the forward passing ses- sion held previous to the scrim- mage. Booth hurled some good passes and also caught a few.

'Naugy Gridster
 With Wesleyan

Middletown, Sept 22.-Satur- day afternoon the entire Wesley an football squad under the guid- ing hand of Head Coach Jim Ober- lander staged a football game for the benefit of the assembled spec tators, and the veterans of last years eleven proved conclusively that they will again wear the Car- dinal and Black this season.
 Johnny Gibbud of Naugatuck played a fine game at center and he seems assured of his position on the first eleven. Sweet and Brown, at guard showed up well. In the backfield, F'ricke. at quar- ter and Warner, at full, played a fine defensive game accounting for most of the interference work which made gaping holes in the opposing line thruogh which Tir- rell and Schlums had little diffi- culty in slipping.
