The senior tournament held last week resulted in George Bergin talk ing low net with a score of 88-18-7O, and Edson taking low gross with 87- 14--73. George was hitting the old apple plenty good as his score will show. Ed did pretty well himself, but when he teams up with John Bergin to play against Bill Egan and Jack Kearney the pressure is so great that he seems to fold up under the strain. Anyway, nice go- ing, fellows

MULLICAN WITH TROJAN ELEVEN
 IN GRID DEBUT
Local Boy to Start at End for Danbury Against
 Dodgers Wednesday

All is in readiness for the popping off of the football lid next Wednes- day night in Danbury when the Brooklyn Dodgers football club come to contend with Jack Thomp- sons Danbury Trojans in battle which finds strong feeling between both forces because of the unseem- ingly setback the Dodgers received last year from the Trojans in the shape of real defeat.
 The Dodgers have been busy tribe at their training quarters in Farmingdale, on Long Island, where they have the ideally equipped fa- cilities of the State Institute of Ag- riculture. Anybody who knows Coach Potsy Clark of the Dodgers is aware that he looks upon a de- feat by what is generally termed minor opponent as plainly labeled a shame. And to wipe out that shame is his ruling purpose now, these same intimates claim. Hence, the Dodgers will have ten days of intensive training in two daily ses- sions to remove the stain on their regulations.
 In his usual quiet manner Jack Thompson has been doing his parI to sustain the honors of his Dan- bury Trojans. Very little has come from his camp in the way of in- formation, but it is known that he has had his men out regularly to prepare them to administer another of those Danbury doses of regulators of conceit. He declares that it is not his intention at this late date in his competitive career to take back step, and that if the Dodgers beat his cohorts it will be either through luck or definite superiority of abil- ity and numbers, not by the lack of proper spirit.
 Thompson even goes so far as to announce his opening lineup for Wednesday nights game. The local followers of the Trojans are cer- tain to be loyal to their favorite players, and all who are in the know feel certain that this contest will be fitting ushering in of the great game. Seats are selling in advance with very strong demand. but, of course, all that will be wanted is good weather an We'd nesday night to bring out a crowd that will tax the capacity of the park. The lineups:
 Bklyn. Dodgers Danbury Trojans Schwartz. =. Left End ... ..Torrant Kinard. .. Left Tackle ..DinSmore Golemgeske. Lett Guard .Donofrio Mark. ...... Center ....... .Miska Lane. ...

BY 1887 Elizabeth had reduced its

Work of this sort is being supple

young Americans on its rolls. Ninety
five per cent of these young people
come from families that are certified

due to lack of help and leadership,
criminals are most frequently re-
cruited. Young men and women of the
N. Y. A. are not only given something
to do. They are also given vocational
training to fit them for better jobs.
l have talked with many of them in
various parts of the country. There
is no defeatism among them. On the
contrary, they give the impression
of young Americans who are getting
ready to go places. We're too proud

more, we're proud of the work we do"
The same constructive attitude is
apparent among the young men in

When the G. G. c. was organized,
plan for vocational training was in
troduced. 1t was agreed to leave it
entirely up to each young man in the
Corps as to whether or not he would
take advantage of this opportunity.
1t is a measure of the quality of

n OR some years now, we've had
Safety Weeks, Safety Campaigns
and Safety Drives. Hundreds of
articles have been written and thou
sands of talks broadcast on the haz-
ards of motoring. The entire auto
motive industry is preaching Safety
and civic organizations everywhere
are working overtime to decrease the
number of avoidable accidents. But,
so far, it seems to me, no one has got
down to the nub of the problem.
Yet there is a solution, and very
simple one. The thing to do is to re-
quire that cars be driven the way ships
are sailed at sea. You can always pick
up your Monday-morning paper with
out having to wade through the CORY
details of half dozen Sunday ship
wrecks.
Ships don't sideswipe one another,
lock portfolios or ram into each other
head on every Sunday afternoon;
and the reason they don't is simple.
It's those dinky little colored flags
they fly to tell other ships who they
