A convention at the Court House
has been scheduled but it looks like a
postponement is in order. When a
roll call of delegates from the boot
leggers' union was called, it was dis
covered that several were missing.
Not liking such hot weather, they are
visiting relatives for a few days, or
what have you.
Nels Miller has issued a warning
for everybody to save soap boxes so
that there will be plenty on hand for
the speeches that are to be made at
the Park on this charter question.
And now, heave no, my hearties,
and set sail for Friendsville where
there are big doins. You will be met
on all sides by Friends and Savages.

People of the Bittinger section are
profoundly disappointed. Last Sum-
day when Col. Bell was down there
gettin' a photy somebody told Mrs.
Colonel that they had read about Col.
Bell in The Republican for so long
they had him pictured as a distin-
guished gentleman with a goatee, a
mustache, high silk hat and swallow
tail coat and were too full of disap-
pointment for words at the real hon.

SQUAD OF 40 TOLLS
UNDER WOODWORK
Largest Lot Stenogs Have
Had Out in YearS-Some
Vets at Hand.
BIZ EDwARD A. FULLER, JR.

~ USINESS HIGH SCHOOL
X has a squad of 40 trying
- for It's foot ball team, the
largest that has aspired ia
a Stenog eleven in years, but It's
doubtful whether this means
much, except that Lynn Wood
worth, popular coach, will be able
to distribute the punishment the
team usually receives more than
he's been able to do in recent
seasons.
For some years the Stenog gridders
have been handicapped by lack Of q
field they can call their own and q
squad light in comparison TO its public
high rivals. When the school moves
into its handsome new home and be-
comes Roosevelt High School at least
one of these drawbacks will be elimin-
ated. Certainly then its athletic squads
will not lack for good field and doubt
less also there will be an influx of i'm
proved material for its teams.
ouS1IlcSS SSdoOIl VIII IldkG y more
experienced, though lighter, backf1eld. 1t
also viii not lack seasoned line material
and the forward wall viii be somewhat
heavier, too.
In the final analysis, however, 1t is
not expected that the Stenogs will do
better than finish last in the public
high race, their usual fate. It will be
fighting gang, as are all Woodworth-
coached teams, but, unfortunately, as
has so often been demonstrated, sheer
courage is not enough on the foot ball
field.
CETTTNG typical Business break,
" the Stenogs have been able to get
in only few days practice to date.
Hap Hardell, Tech coach, recalling the
time when his squad had no field, and
he doesn't have to strain his memory
for that, has turned over a part of the
new Mckinley lot to the Orange. Bush
ness drilled Monday and scrinnmaged
Emerson yesterday, but had to forego
practice three days last week because
Of rain on Saturday and the fact that
the Tech field was being marked on
Thursday and Friday.
The Stenog backfleld will be built
around Howard Strasser, Milton Jacob
son and Frank Cavanaugh, all of whom
won letters last Fall. Bill Duryee,
stellar fullback, and ace of the team,
and Quarterback johnson, clever little
player, who were graduated, will be
Sorely missed.
Bill Lewis, kid brother Of Jackie
Lewis, who few years ago was an
all-around athletic luminary at BUSH
ness, Is among the newcomers showing
promise. He Is a backheld aspirant.
Among candidates for jobs on the
line are FUR and Reeves, ends; Donnan

whom won letters last year, and Myers,
