With bo3n teams boasting lines
which have shown worlds of power
this season, it is hardly to be expect
ed that either team will be able to
gain much by running the ball. So it
can be expected that both outfits
will take to the air early.
Tech is well-equipped for an aerial
game both on defense and defense.
In Howard Ector and Bobby Beers,
the Engineers have two great throw
ers and they have any number of
capable receivers. In both their
games this season, the Techs have
looked potent on defense against
passes.
Duke, too, has a number of capable
chunkers with Eric Upton heading
the list. If Upton is able to play

The South Hill eleven was said to

For Our Children

This is the month assigned to Par
Ient Education in our local column.
We would like to consider a few
questions that are important to our
parents:
Do you know what goes on in your
school?
Are you well acquainted with your
child's teacher?
Do you know his "best pal" at
school?
Have you tried to find out his likes
t and dis-likes in his school work?
Do you like our kind of reports to
parents?
Do you know what is meant by a
standard test?
Do you know how much every day
attendance means to the little stu
dent?
Do you know which school tasks
your child thinks are hard?
Are you doing anything to help
him?
Do you attend the PIT. A. regular
ly each month?
Would you help the organization by
serving as an officer?
Why Don't Parents Visit The School ?
They visit the drill to see murderous
sabres,
They visit the circus, they visit their
| neighbors.
They visit their flock, and the servant
who labors, 7.s Ae, u
Now why don't they visit the school ?
They care for their horses, they care
for their dollars,
They care for their lodges, they fancy
fine collars;
But little, we think, do they care fol-
their scholars,
Because they don't visit the school.
We know we from hunger and cold
are protected,
In knowledge and virtue our minds
are directed,
But still we do think, we are sadly
neglected,
Because they don't visit the school.
Now if they come, they'll find all in
their places,

Letters to the Editor
My dear Mr.. Editor:

My dear Mr.. Editor:
"As We See IT., Of January 81,
started me thinking about the good
horses bred or owned in Montgomery
County. Ae heretofore stated, Red
Russell and Kinstress are first and
second, respectively. However there
are others which deserve favorable
mention. The Javins brothers owned
and operated, at various times, stock
farms near Colesville and Four Cor
ners; they owned, by paying high
prices therefor, fast and well bred
horses including Bedworth, Jr., a pac-
er in the 2:07 record class; and, also
a well bred son of Peter the Great,
named Peter ]. H.
Peter the Great 2:07A, the sire of
Peter J. H., had so many sons and
daughters something like 676 as re-
call, that he is referred to as the
Worlds greatest extreme speed sire.
Peter ]. H. came from long line Of
dams all by good sires, ending in the
oath with the Layton Barb Mare. Not
many of US human beings can trace
our ancestry to our oath grandmother
down the line, and then discovered her
to have been foundress.
Bedford Jr. won probably the most
prolonged and bitterly fought race at
the Old Gentlemen's Driving Park
near Baltimore, when that place was
at its height, opposite the site what is
now Pimlico.
Peter ]. H. never had a chance, as
a sire. The trotting horse then passing
from the popular sports, the runner
and automobile taking the tracks and
roads.
Other horses, which may be remem-
bered by some old-timers and which
animals were not of the "class" here
tofore mentioned but nevertheless did
their best, were Tuck Rabbits old,
home-bred black mare, Bessie Could
and old Tom Hickman's runner named
Boston. If "Tuck" didn't win the
county trotting race and "Tom" the
county running race, with Bessie
Gould and Boston, respectively, there
wasn't any Rockville Fair. The people
came to see them win. "Tuck" had an
old gray mare named Nellie R. which
preceded Bessie Gould. I am inclined
to believe Nellie r. was the dam Of
Bessie; those were the days when the
track at the fair grounds was one.

Robert Lyddane generally raced
there with Monte Gould, a sorrell

The Editor of

The Editor of
The Sentinel:
The Chamber of Comerce and the
Town Council have taken up such
matters as the Rapid Transit bus
service, removal of car tracks, clear
ance of slums and equally important
subjects, but these will take time be.
cause Of legal and other technicalities
However, there is one increasing men
ace to the order and responsibility of
our town and that is the congregation
OF undesirables on the lower main
street of Rockville on Saturday nights
which certainly is encouraged by ig-
noring the same, and this within a
stones throw of the Police Depart
ment. Even should the behavior of
these people be inoffensive, it is most
disagreable for shoppers of the county
and town to have to literally shove a
way through the milling or stationary
groups. Last Saturday evening a man
was zig-zaging down Montgomery
avenue internally dragging a compan-
ion who was unable to direct his own
steps. VI course, procession follow
ed the entertaining performance. Com
ing up the main street, in the same
neighborhod, two cursing inebriates,
with their accompanying loud-shoutine
gang, men and women, so crowded
the pavement that one was forced to
cross the street to avoid the crush
and the stencil of cheap whiskey from
a dozen or more loud-bawling mouths.
1t is understood that one man was in
Jured in drunken browl, which was
inevitable.
II this sort of thing is to be per-
mltted' central drinking joint in an
appropriate neighborhood should be
established where these irresponsible
individuals should congregate. Other
wise, decent persons, obliged to do
last minute marketing and shopping
should be protected by the Law. Is
there not a law or regulation prohibit
ing groups of people from obstructing
the public thoroughfare? If so, why is
it not enforced? This condition has
existed for at least two years and
suggest that some one interested in
the welfare of our town call a public
growing worse each week. May Il
protest meeting if the Police Depart
ment does not Immediately take steps
TO protect respectable, law-abidin1
citizens.
