the winner.
To make the game you will need
large, single wire rack to place over
the center of the table. This wire
is easily bent, and is held to the table
by mounting the ends in two heavy
wood bases. A string threaded through
a sponge rubber ball is tied TO the
exact center Of the top bar OF this
frame The pins tthe top halves of
clothespins) are placed on the top
of the card table and in its exact
center.
Now, hold the ball as high in the
air as possible and allow it to swing
not directly at the pins, but to one
side, so that it will swing in large
circle and knock the pins over by
hitting them from the rear. Pins
knocked over from the front do not
count, and should be set up again.
Harnessing the ball to the wire
prevents player from chasing balls
after each shot, and adds novelty
to a game that will amuse any num-
Der of players for many hours.

they would like to, should think twice
before they join in the unorganized
sandlot games. With improper equip
ment and no knowledge of the game,
this type of recreation is more often
harmful than helpful. In almost
every neighborhood there is someone
with foot ball experience who would
spend an afternoon or early evening
in aiding in instruction II the group
which wants to play approaches him,
the chances are that he will be glad
to assist them.
In the sand-lot games characterized

The question of size and weight has
troubled many foot ball aspirants. In

ercised regularly, all the while worry
ing about their weight and wondering
why it will not go up. One Of the
surest ways not to gain weight is to
worry about it constantly. The de-
velopment and strength of the body
are more important than its weight.
MERE pounds never made a foot
ball player. Pounds do carry an
advantage-it is said that good
big man is better than good" little
man, but 1t is also true that a better"
little man is better than a good"
big man! More than ever before,
mental alertnesS, speed and judg-
ment are counted on in a foot ball
player. and these qualities minimize
the concern for size

be backed by love for the game and
strong desire to play it. An out

Idea for SchOOlb00k
Covers Starts Neu
Department for Girls
Bv Katherine HOuiSOn.

THIS is new department just fol-
girls, and know we're all going to
get a lot of pleasure out Of it. Well
talk about anything and everything
you girls are interested in. and per-
haps now and then we'll give you
some ideas that will be helpful OF
amusing.
If you girls have to accept Big
Sisters used school books, here's q
way to cover them with new and
pretty toilcloth dresses"
Get some table oilcloth, your oil
paints and a can of white four hour
enamel. You can use your school
brushes if you're careful to clean
them thoroughly in turpentine when
you are through working.
For an easy dress" choose an oil
cloth with pattern on it-sprays OF
flowers or a checkered effect-and cut
it to fit your book. But if you want
a more elaborate outfit, make a white
| oilcloth cover and paint design on
| it in colors. If you mix enamel with
your oil paints, they'll stick" to the
oilcloth and won't crack.
For those who can't draw. select
your design and transfer it with yell
low carbon to your white cover-or
black cover, If you prefer it. I sug-
gest yellow carbon because dark lines
will be hard to cover with your
paints.
Another idea is to transfer an out
line to your cover and fill it in with
black enamel and oil paint mixed, for
silhouette.
A clever and original way to iden-
tify your books is to have the same
design on all of them or to put a
shield in the center with your initials
on it.
