WEST NOTTINGHAM ACADEMY
1s-TOwER HILL o

November proved to be happy
day for West Nottingham for they
crashed through Tower Hills line
for 1870 score On the latter G home
field at Wilmington. Stiteler kicked
off for Nottingham to open the game.
Early in the first quarter Tower
Hill punted to Nottingham's yard
line, but Bowles quickly kicked out
of danger Thereafter the first
quarter was featured mainly by an
exchange of punts with neither team
having any apparent edge. The lid
blew off early in the second quarter
when the Nottingham Hnesmen
broke through and blocked a Tower
Hill kick, recovering it on the 20
yard line. On the next play Arm
strong made a first down on the 10,
yard line. Immediately after, Arm
strong again tore through The line
and wasn't stopped till he had fought
his way to the l yard line. On the
next play Gerow found hole out
side of tackle and scored standing
up. Stiteler place kicked the extra
point. Five minutes later, Stiteler
broke through and blocked another
Tower Hill punt, this time on the
Green's 10 yard line. Walter Cam
eron, who was right behind him,
took the ball as it bounced off the
ground and ran for the second score
of the day. Bowles's drop Kick for
the extra point was wide. There
was no further scoring.
Defensively the Nottingham line
played bang-up game from end to
end. On the offense, Armstrong
line bucking and Bowles's open field
running stood out Gerows work
in running back punts was especially
good, while Bounds shone as the
best blocking back on the field.
Stiteler and Bill Disbrow kept Not
tinghams punts we'll covered, while
Cameron, Wilkinson, Shields, and
Barbor held down the guard posi-
lions in. first class style. Fri.ter and
Ewing, as ends, stopped Tower Hills
end runs successfully. Ferguson, as
left guard for Tower Hill, was the
outstanding player for the losers.

TEETH AND HEALTH
BY Samuel NJ. Fink. ID. d. s.
WHEN THE TEETH SHOULD Be
FILLED

Large cavities, toothaches, and abb
scess can be prevented if children
visit dentist whenever new molars
come through the gums into the
mouth. Ninety per cent of all
tooth decay occurs in these teeth. },
The dentist can find the tiny de-
fects or assures in the enamel that
can not be seen with the necked eye
with his fine needle point explorer
He tests new molars by running his
explorer along the bottom Of each
groove. If there is a break in the
enamel anywhere along the groove
it will catch" the point of his ex>
plorer.
Any place big enough to catch the
explorer is big enough to hold food
and the germs that cause decay so
the dentist cuts cut a little enamel
around the fissure and inserts tiny
filling. Putting in small filling Of
this type does not hurt the child for
the enamel is not sensitive.
If the child is not sent to a dentist
until a cavity shows in the tooth the
filling may have to be very large, for
decay works under the enamel into
the tooth deeper than can be seen
with the necked eye. The dentist
may find that the enamel is perfectly
formed but that the grooves are
deep. In this case he may polish
them OUT" making them shallow SO
that they will not retain food.
If child's diet is good and if the
much decay in the other teeth. Any
decay that does occur can be discov-
cred and cared for when the child
makes his regular visits to the dem
fist, which should be twice a year.
1t may be necessary to make extra
trips to have the new molars tested
but it should be done as it is most
important. Do not neglect the teeth
until large cavities are formed and
the teeth ache as the nerve in the
tooth may become involved which is
dangerous to the life Of the tooth.
The dentist cleans the teeth to re.
move tartar that may be irritating
the gums, stains that may predispose
to tooth decay, and film from the
spots on the teeth that the tooth
brush has not reached regularly.
Q.-Are teeth that have their
nerves removed risky to tho health
of the individual?
A.-Yes, all dead pulpless teeth IL
left in the mouth are risky to the
health of the individual. This may
be negligible or it may be great;
have thest teeth x-rayed every three
months or if you are suffering from
some systemic ailment oftener and
the first signs of any infection or di-
sease have them removed.
