evidenced in recent years Besides,
they cost money and bring none at
the gates.
1t used to be that basket ball and
football paid for all the sports, par
ticularly basket ball In the days
when the school series were held at
the Arcadia, with double-headers twice
week, basket ball reaped plump
profits. 1t bought uniforms for all
sports teams and invariably there was
little left in the treasury over the
year.
Not Much Outside Work.
RUT that was when Bert Coggins
was scrimmaging his Central
basket ball teams against George
Marshall's Palace Pros and Coggins
and his boys reaped the benefits Of
hard work and grabbed eagerly at the
pearls Of wisdom which were dropped
by the Rusty Saunders. Chick Pas
sons and Ray Kennedys.
That was when you saw real
basket ball in the high school
series and was lured to fight
your way into Central Stadium
to see Gonzaga, with Johnny
Bozek, play Central football
which had Augie Roberts.
They say that Central last year
finished with $500 less in its football
treasury than ever before. This year
the deficits may run proportionately.
With the series teams increased to
seven, IS a result Of the additions
Of Anacostia and Wilson, there are
precious few outside games likely to
be booked.
The new teams will mean that
each school plays six times in the
football and baseball series. That
will leave each grid squad two out
side games, necessarily against hand
picked opposition, and each baseball
club only six outside games. Thus
the schedule limits will not be vio-
lated.
In basket ball the teams play each
other twice. That will mean IL games
in the series for each team. With
the limit set at 18 you can figure
for yourself how much preseason
preparation Is possible.

Man Who Helped Reds From

Full Authority.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON. yr.,
Associated press snorts wr,t.r

n YEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The
nj Brooklyn Dodgers, favorite
Y football of the National League.
on and off the diamond, may
be getting ready to kick back.
It's all in the uncertain stage and
the doubling Thomases will have to
be shown before they'll believe the
various opposed interests who share
the Dodgers ownership ever can be
made to agree, but there's no longer
any question that something Is afoot.
Larry MacPhail, the red-thatched
go-getter who gained fame by intro
ducing night baseball to the major
leagues and helping put the Cincin-
natl Reds back on their feet, settled
that last night with statement that
revealed several significant points.
Sought by Dodgers.
HE HAD not applied for Job but
the Dodgers had sought him
out, he said. That was item No. /.
The second was that he believed the
conferences had at least made a start
toward bringing the various interests
closer together. No. was that Mac
Phail wouldn't consider anything less
than full authority to carry out a
concrete and adequately financed pro-
gram for the betterment Of the club.
It generally has been understood
that the main reason why the Dodgers
have continued to turn out second
division ball clubs without much ap-
parent effort to salve their loyal sup
porters was the lack of agreement
among the owners. President Stephen
w. McKeever. the Ebbets' heirs and
Brooklyn bank, which has several fin
gers in the financial pie, never have
been able to make their views coincide
for long.

1t will be against the rules for q boy
to be 10 years old.
In addition, Mr.. Bayh sharply
curtailed the number Of games
and practice hours allotted to
Washington high schools and
that discreet moaning you hear
comes from the various coaches.
The chief squawk, of course, is
caused by the age-limit ruling. Where
as the limit once was n years, Mr..
Bayh in 1887 chopped it to 20 years,
and this year 1t will be too bad for .
kid If he Is 10.
It Isn't Even Fair.
Mr.. BURTON HAWKINS, who
~ would know Of such items, dis
closes that If the latest age limit had
been in effect last September it would
have been Mr.. Hardy Pearce's painful
duty at Central to fire 10 of his 80
football players. That gives you an
idea.
1T isn't even fair" fetishly protests
Mr.. Hawkins. Suppose boy is sick
or must have an operation, or some
thing? All right :. he loses a year
or half year Of school. When he's
well he may decide to 60 out for foot
ball or basket ball to build his body.
But then his coach hears that he will
be over 18 and 50 it is tough luck"
Technically, 1 would say Mr..
Hawkins has something there.
Il might even be taken to court,
for all 1 know.
After all, the kids old man is .
taxpayer and the boy Is entitled to
the various items q public school has
to offer. And doesn't interscholastic
sports come under those items?

A bridge is nearing completion not
far from Laurel Springs, in Alleg-
hany county, while the contract has
been recently let for a bridge over
State Highway 10 just south of Laurel
Springs.
Two sectors have been under con-
struction in the AshevilIe area for
more than a year. These include q
12-mile stretch from Buck Creek Gap
to Toe River Gap and a section of
about eight miles from Bull Gap west
ward toward Toe River Gap. These
two sections will have to be complet-
ed TO the point where trucks and
steam shovels can be transported over
them before construction can be un-
dertaken in the intervening sections
which are as yet inaccessible from any
existing loads
In order to speed up construction
on the western end of the Buck Creek
Gap-Toe River Gap section, the con-
tractor had to build five miles of road
up the mountain side from the end of
a United States Forest Service fire
trail, in order to get. his machinery
and trucks up to the right-of-way
This particular section looks over on
Mount Mitchell and intersects the pre-
sent road to the top of Mount Mitchell
at Toe River Gap, which is less than
four miles from the summit.
Within the last two weeks contracts
have been let for the construction of
two more links in the Grandfather
Mountain-Linville Falls area, totalling
some % miles in all.

tear down the Church of God? If it
does chaos will reign in all parts of
the civilized world. Your business will
be wrecked. Your home will be unsafe.
You and your neighbors will revert to
the social condition of the caveman
when the strongest arm, swinging the
biggest club, took whatever it's owner
desired. 1t is the church that has Teen
responsible for whatever progress we
have today. It is the plain duty of
every citizen to support the church,
without which your community could
not survive. Are you doing your part8
The church wants you. Not lust YOUR
money, but your presence at church
services, your active interest in
church enterprises, your work for
church extension, your personal eff
fort in evangelism.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS exert a most I'M
Christian influence. Indifference was
responsible for the Monday morning
police document. Are you sitting idly
by and criticizing? Prove yourself a
good citizen. Show your gratitude for
good things. Go to church regularly.
Start next Sunday Let us make our
city real place in which to live.
