He and Paul F.. Magoffin
former Michigan grid ace, have
officiated at many games to
gether for years. The combina
ton of "Gass and Magoffin" as
officials is noted with pleasure
by the players
"The greatest kick I ever got
out of officiating was when La
fayette, Lehigh'S bittereSt rival,
asked me to work a clash be-
tween them and Wesleyan
shortly after / had taken up
the officiating game. The coach
and several players on the
Wesleyan team were close
friends of mine, and the La
fayette team knew it; but, in
spite of it, they insisted that 1

The one play that sticks in his
memory from his playing days
was the De Land flying wedge, a
particularly dangerous play
which accounted for many in
juries. 1t was used to open hos
tilitieS.
The offensive team would line
up on the 55-yard line (the fielc
was ITO yards in those days. the
center would snap the ball back
and then, flanked by the guards
tackles, and ends, spread in close
fan fashion behind him, and the
backfield on the inside of the
fan, would charge down the
field.
The opposing team would
charge into the wall at full
speed, while the offensive backs
would Scamper out from behind
the line to either right or left
and streak for the goal. 1t
often proved successful but the
injuries were numerous.
Frequent SubStitutions also hell
keep injuries down in modern foot

Sidered a sign of weakness to b.
taken out of the lineup unless al
most helpless. He remember
leaving only one game in hi
career, and that because Of
badly damaged shoulder.
He plaved against Phil King

grid history for Princeton, anc

CLUB GOLF TEAM MATCHES SUNDA Y
COGG|NS PLANS
TWO TEAMS

Coach Bert Coggins will take
80 stalwarts to Baltimore to play
Baltimore City College tomorrow.
Coggins plans to use two COM
plete teams. BuScher and Helm
will be the ends, Fitzwater center
and Cumberland quarterback on
the first squad. The rest OF the
lineup is uncertain. Garrett, last
year regular, will be on the bench
due to injuries.
Tech tackles two tough foes
over the week end. Tomorrow
Baltimore Poly will be met at
Baltimore, and Saturday Hand
ley High is to be opposed at
winchester, Va. Coach Hap"
Hardell will use three backfieldS
in these encounters.
The first-string backfield is
composed of Edwards, Sachs,
Gormley and Oehman. The Sec
ond -.Stringers are Brinkman,
Moore, Weisman and Hates, and
the third is made up Of Purdy,
Foley, Alley and Vito. Foley is
considered by Hardell as the best
high school kicker he has seen in
years.
Eastern travels to Alexandria
Saturday to oppose the highly
touted Episcopal High. 1t can be
remembered that the Virginians

handily last year. Coach Kelley
will take a large squad and he

without giving notice to his neighbors.
The reason Is that the chances fer sud-
den attack are thereby leSsened. vio-
lation Of this custom constitutes gross
breach of etiquette. 1t is net polite to
remain seated in the same place after a
meal. If the place cannot be changed
it is necessary to rise and sit down
again. l can give no explanation OF
this practice unless 1t be precaution

Before the meal the house is a scene
of understandable animation. The guests,
together with the members OF the house

and may reach 100 or more. The guests
are hidden to take their places on

guard them Experience has shown that

Chewing of Betel Nut, Universal Vice

the trail, in health and sickness. he
turns fer stimulation to the quid of

nut and the redolence Of the blossom
are said to be the chief delicacy of the
spirits.

whereas the inveterate chewer of the
mountains is free from them. The
Manobo cannot endure the long and
frequent hikes, nor carry the heavy
loads that he does, without this mild
restorative"
Dwelling in a bountiful land, Garvan
relates, the Manobo is a liberal eater
as we'll as drinker. A festive meal starts
with a stiff drink of home brew. "As
the feasters warm under the kindling
influence of the drink" he continues,
they express their good will by giving
material tokens, each one to his friend
or to one whose friendship he hopes to
gain. These consist of handfuls of
meat-lean. fat, bone, gristle or any
thing-smeared with salt and pepper
and bestowed by enc friend into the
mouth of another without any consid-
Grafton of the proportion between the
size CT the mouth and the size Of the
gift. 1t is not good etiquette to refuse
this gift or to remove it from the mouth.
This Offering is probably followed by
another jointful of beverage. The re-
cipient of these favors returns the Of
fering in kind and so the meal goes on
until the food has completely disap-
peared. for 1t is against the conven-
tionalities to leave a scrap on the plate.

It Is exceedingly astringent and cannot

of pepper. The lime Is made from the

1.-THE first and immediate effect of
chewing this combination is to increase
salvation. Following this is the red
dening Of the saliva by the chemical
action of the lime on the nut and leaf.
The most important effect is the sooth-
ing sensation that follows upon its use.
In this respect it far exceeds tobacco
chewing, both in the Manobo's opinion
and my own. The sensations which
experienced on my first trial were a
feeling of imitation of the head and
transient sensation of weakness, fol-
lowed by a cold sweat upon my fore
head. This was followed by feeling
of exhilaration and quickened vitality.
In general, betel nut chewing acts as
an efflcacious restorative, especially
during a journey. and as a harmless
narcotic which it would be hard to
replace. The addition of tobacco con-
