player to lease up" little now and
then. Perhaps he figures the play is
going the other way, and doesn't
charge quite as fast as usual. In that
moment, the whole course OF the
game may be changed, and victory
may turn into defeat, not because
the player was physically unable to
90 his job, but because his brain
didn't quite meet the test.
A common saying in foot ball is
that "a good big man is better than
good little man" This is absolutely
true. But don't overlook that word
good, which implies the possession
of all those mental qualities which are
so important in foot ball There's
not coach in the world who wouldn't
rather train a group of light but smart
and courageous players than bunch
of fellows who were long on beef but
very short on brains.

Soaring Propeller
Is Simple to Make
BY RAY J. MARIAN.

BY RAY j. MARIAN.
A SMALL two-bladed propeller whit
tied from soft wood and mounted
on long. round stick can be twirled
rapidly between the hands and, when
released, will soar high in the air.
This demonstrates in simple manner
the principle Of the new type of air
plane, known as an autogyro or gyro-
plane, which rises straight from tie
ground.
The propellers are easily cut from a
piece of soft pine. about l2-inch thick
by "a inch wide and or S inches long.
Whittle the edges from the exact GEN.
ter Of the piece, shaping the cuts 70
resemble the blades Of real propeller.
Make these blades as thin as possible.
obtaining what is known In aviation
terms as pitch" In propeller blade.
After rounding off the ends drill a
hole in the exact center Of the blade
and force one end Of a long. round
stick into the hole Hold the "gyro"
as shown In the sketch. then slide the
hands together, back and forth, rapid
ly. After four or FIVE rapid slides shove
the hands forward with real quick
sliding motion and release the gyro. 1t
will soar straight up in the air for
about IS feet. and If 1t has been cut SO
it balances perfectly, 1t will descend
gently to the ground with the propeller
still revolving.

High, Dorset's opponents the next day
were expected to use.
We'll, it looks as though I'm al
least going to start the game tomor-
row." Paul said to himself. Then he
settled down to the business Of help
ing stop the second teams plays. The
first team had little trouble for a
few minutes Then Gabby Gabriel un-
corked Calvin Highs fake cross buck
and came sweeping around the left
side of the line with the ball.
Two Dorset regulars tackled him,
but he tore himself loose. Then Eggs
Willis went for him. but Gabby side
stepped and came tearing on down the
field, with only Paul between him and
the goal.
Ordinarily Coach Travers would
have stopped the play at this point,
but this time he did not. Perhaps he
sensed the drama Of the moment, or
saw the savage, desperate look on
Paul's face as he charged forward.
Gabby was streaking toward the
sideline, and Paul headed over to cut
him off. He kept his feet until pre-
cisely the right moment, then threw
himself furiously at the other boys
knees. The force of his tackle sent
Gabby down like a stone, and for a
moment they both lay on the ground,
stunned and shaken.
Paul was the first to get to his feet.
The other players had gathered
around by the time Gabby arose slowly
and gazed coldly at Paul.
$50 that's the way you feel, is it?"
the red-headed boy said between set
lips. "Okay, Shields. That's all !

Dancing Ch0ruses
Started in Greece

WHEN we see the singing and dane
w ing choruses in modern musical
entertainments we must remember
that the chorus had its origin in the
ancient Greek festivals of nearly 500
years before Christ.
The Greek "choros" meant "a dance
in a ring" "a dance accompanied by
song," and then "a band Of dancers
and singers" The chorus was COM
posed of a number of men and women
who were present on the stage during
an entire performance and whose duty
was to chant songs and to dance in
the intervals of the action.
The chorus added to the pomp and
solemnity of the festivals and the
chants also helped to explain the ac-
ton of the presentation to the audi
ence. So you see that the modern
chorus girl is the direct descendant OF
those persons who bore such an i'm
portant role in ancient Greek drama

INSTALLNIENT III.

AUL was physically tired after
- the afternoons practice, and he
did not lie awake long after he
went to bed But when he
awoke on Tuesday morning he die
not feel rested, and he realized dimly
that he had spent much Of the night
tossing fretfully and dreaming con-
fused, disturbing dreams.
His first conscious thought was OF
Gabby Gabriel. Paul had twice
watched him play for Medwick against
Dorset, and both games had been won
by Medwick with little trouble Gabriel
had been the best quarterback in the
district two years ago. and had won
Statewide recognition last year. There
was every reason to believe that he
would be better than ever this season
Nobody had to tell Paul that If Gabby
wanted to play foot ball for Dorset he
could win the quarterback berth with
out difficulty.
Paul saw Tommy Plumber before
classes that morning.
Say, Tommy" he began, carefully
removing all feeling from his voice
dad tells me that Gabby Gabriel's
father Is the new manager down at
his plant. Gabby will be moving here
in few days and entering high school
That means he'll be out for foot ball
Of course"
Tommys eyes grew wide, and he
uttered a whoop of delighted surprise
"Gabby Gabriel!" he exulted. Boy
will we go places with him in the line
up. Why, well mop up the whole dis
trict!"
THEN Tommy, foot ball captain
suddenly gave way to Tommy
good friend of Paul Shields. He
choked of his words. and his eyes
clouded. He peered at Paul sympa-
thetically.
"Goshi" he exclaimed That's a
tough break for you, Paul" He hesi-
tated, then added doubtfully, Maybe
we could make a halfback out of him,
or something"

chance, when we already have
couple Of halves like you and Eggs
Willis" he pointed out. mo, Tommy
I guess 1t means I go back to the
scrubs. Well, I'm glad I got to play
one game anyway"
Tommy caught his arm as they
walked toward the class room.
Gee, I'm sorry, Paul." he said. "Of
course, I'm glad for the school and

for Coach Travers. But it's a dirty
shame as far as you're concerned. If
a fellow ever earned his job, you've
earned that quarterback position"
Paul's face was expressionless.
Maybe" he replied. But if there's
a better man available, I don't de-
serve to play. and that's that. How
ever, Gabriel hasn't beaten me out for
the job yeti"
That's the spirit" Tommy cried.
But he knew, and Paul knew. that
Pauls words were merely an effort to
keep up his courage. Paul never
could be as good player as Gabby
Gabriel.
by THAT afternoon the news of
Gabby's transfer to Dorset was all
over school, and it was confirmed in
the newspapers that evening. The
whole team was talking about it at
practice, and IT made an embarrass-
ing situation for Paul. But the play
ers were so delighted over the pros
poets of having a star like Gabby that
they had little time to think of Paul's
side of the case. And he was glad of
that. He wasn't looking for sympathy.
He thought about little else for the
next two days. He went to practice
faithfully and plugged along doggedly
at preparations for the next game, but
he had no heart for his work. Coach
Travers noticed the change, but he
said nothing. He knew what the trou-
BILE was, and nothing that he could say
would help.
Then on Friday morning Gabby Ga
briel appeared at school. Paul saw
him as he came out Of the principals
office. He was walking with Coach
Travers and Tommy Plumber, and
they all stopped while Paul and Cab
by were introduced to each other.
Paul stretched forth his hand and
gazed into the hazel eyes of boy Of
about his own age. Gabby Gabriel
was an inch taller than he, and per-
haps IS pounds heavier. His hair
was red and his face was freckled.
His fingers gripped Paul's hand pow
erfully.
paul is our quarterback this year."
Tommy said. Gabby's eyes lit up
with interest, and he srinned.
"Yeah?" he said. We'll, we'll be
seeing a lot of each other, I guess. I
usually play quarterback myself"
so I've heard" said Paul dryly.
Suddenly everybody was embar-
rassed. Coach Travers caught Gabby's
arm and led him away. Tommy shot
back an apologetic look at Paul as he
followed them.
"I guess he hasn't any doubt about
taking my job from mel" Paul NUT
tered to himself as he turned away.
well, we'll see about that!"
A IL that day Paul nursed a smoul-
= dering resentment against Gabby.
He expected the new player would be
out for practice that evening, and he
was not disappointed. Coach Travers
put Gabby in charge of the second
team and gave him instructions to run
off few of the plays that Calvin

Wheat Crops Cut.
THE Argentine wheat crop which

THE Argentine wheat crop which has
been a serious competitor in the
American foreign market will not be
so much of problem this year.
Early reports that the crop would
not be so large as last years have
been borne out by the seasons develop
ments. Drought at the outset was a
serious factor, keeping termination OF
the seed below par. Now frost has
come to add to the troubles.
Last years crop was 23s.o0o, ,00o
bushels. This years will run fully
IS per cent under that figure.
