Milford High School Students
Enter Essay. Contests
Believing that the future Of Am
erica rests in a quick return to the
principles of the Constitution, the
American Liberty League, Inc, has
sponsored. in the schools Of Della
ware, an essay contest that has the
students Of the tenth, eleventh and
twelfth grades scurrying to all cor
ners to learn more about this great
instrument Of government.
The prizes offered are unusually
generous providing one years study
at any college. fees not to exceed
one thousand dollars $4,000 for
first prize; $3.50 in tuition fees for
the best from Kent, Sussex, New
Castle, and City Of Wilmington; and
for so others a consolation prize Of
S5.
The essays in this district are be-
ing handled through the Social Sci
ence Department of the Senior High
School.
No cOmpulsiOn is being used to in
duce pupils to enter. The available
ity OF reference material and the
large prize awards are sufficient to
cause heavy enrolment in the con-
test.
The National Educational Better
Housing Contest, sponsored by the
Federal Housing Administration,
was away to an auspicious start on
Thursday when the Essay Contest
was introduced and explained
throughout the Senior High School.
Better housing and living condi-
tions mean better boys and girls of
the present and better men and
women in the future The Federal
Housing Administration is organiz-
ed to promote home improvements
and mOdernizatiOn.
The student body was divided into
sections and a faculty adviser for
each section appointed. The purpose
of this division was to better facili-
tate the handling of the essays and

This was clearly indicated at the

Fitzwilson and James. Yet, the
Georgetown team was first tc

thus devised a play where George.
town could get possession of the

A lad whose sterling work in
that game, as we'll as all season,
has gone unnoticed is Ben Zola
He played a smashing defensive
game against Carnegie Tech while
his general floor work was over
shadowed only by Ed Hargaden
peerless captain of the Hilltoppers
who is seemingly a basketball
magician. Another whose work
shone like a beacon was blond Joe
CorlesS, who can take that ball
off the blackboard like nobody's
business.

sound in arm, won Is games

season. He has a curve ball, they
say, that simply makes the boys
toss their bats away.
Would Cinch Pennant
If sullivan we're to hit the same
terrific pace with the Tigers nex5
season, they would have three 20
game pitchers on the pay roll.
Tommy Bridges won % games
last year, Schoolboy Rowe won
"a and here's this kid with 25.
That's lot of games for three
pitchers and would just about win
the pennant.
Cochrane is also sweet on Lar
kin, first name Steve, who came
up from Beaumont with the
record of II games won. He looks
like a real prospect, according to
all the dope. He allowed 2.6l
runs per nine-inning game, and
that's pitching in any mans
league.
Chester Morgan is fine pres
pect for the Tiger outfield, and
if there is any truth in the gos-
sip of some that Leon Goslin is
on the down grade, this may be
the kid to take the Gray Gan
der's place. He hit .342 in the
Texas League, and that is a good
tells you.
Task Seems Simple
One way and another, the task
of Cochrane seems to be fairly
simple. He must get a spare out
fielder with some intelligence and
a spare infielder who can hit. His
pitching power can always be aug
mented, but he did right well last
year.

After all Petey sarron is still tops with
WashinCton oudiarcas
The Washington times., 1935-01-29

Like couple of gamecocks
who know only how to fight
until one or the other drops,
Rivers and Sarron treated the
faithful to as vicious a ring
chapter as Washington may
ever hope to see. Theirs will
be good for an encore before
the flower blossom and should
be worth any mans money to
see.
Snowdrifts of Gloves
Rivers, the cleaner puncher
and boxer, was quite inundated
by the furry of less effective
but more numerous fists which
swept over him from the agile
Sarron like snowdrifts blowing
in through the windows and
exits.
The ninth and tenth rounds,
particularly, were electrified
with volcanic fighting from both
sides. The heavier by nearly 10
pounds Rivers was repeatedly
spun around like a 10-cent top
by the stodgy Sarron, who stood
in the middle of the ring and
met the oncoming, desperate
Californian with right upper
cuts to the body which had Joe
bouncing in, out and between
the ropes like that famous young
man of song and story whose
main theatrical prop was a con-
traption called a flying trapeze.
The first three rounds seemed
to be pretty well Sarron's, al
though Rivers landed several
solid lefts to Petey's complex
ion which at least gave it a sur.
prised mien.
In the fourth, fifth and sixth,
Rivers work was more telling
and seemed to slow up Sarron
no little, insofar as his aero
battles and calesthenics were con-
cerned. But never Sarron'S
courage!
A Great Final Stand
The seventh, too, still found
Rivers in there betting fre-
quently with his left and bring
ing his right more into play,
but beginning with the eighth,
Sarron proved his lasting powers,
forged to the front and made
ninth and tenth round stands
that had the customers gasping
for breath.
Through it all Rivers kept
coming in for more, taking all
Sarron had, and both boys were
on the floor now and again, but
only momentarily. Twice Rivers
was out of the ring on the edge
of the platform, stung to the
quick and mad as a horned
toad as he showed his fangs
and whirled back into the mael-
Strom of fists which Sarron
kept swinging, windmill fashion,
from bell to bell.
Sarron, an unorthodox fighter
at best, might be accused today
of butting and holding, but not
in the sense of dirty fighting.
Torpedo Timed Thrusts
In such a slam-bang encoun-
ter such things can and do hap
pen, and there is no law
against holding momentarily,
particularly when bombarded by
such hard, solid blasts as Riv-
ers planted whenever his tar
get was sufficiently stationary
for his torpedo-timed thrusts to
find their mark.
After the same manner,
Rivers once struck Sarron be-
fore the latter was up, but like
some of Sarron's heated work,
it was all the outgrowth of i'm
pulSlve warfare in response to
the vociferous. blind, frantic
urgings of thoroughly thrilled
clientele.
I think Rivers lost no pres.
tige in dropping this decision
which verdict was unanimous
insofar as the three men sit
ting in judgment were con-
cerned and for the most part
the public was of the same
belief. It was one of those de-
feats wherein the vanquished
looked quite as impressive as
the victor, yet, on points, was
the loser-if that is any dis
grace!
