Tuesday night, February 10, the
Smyrna quintet, coached by John
Doerr, rolled to its ninth straight
win of the season by debating Mid
dletown by the score of % to 10.
The game was close throughout,
though there was a lot of sloppy
playing by both teams. At the end
of the first half, Middletown led, II
to 9.
In the third quarter Smyrna
quickly jumped to the lead and re-
manned there thereafter.
Scoring honors went to Everett
of Smyrna, and Davidson of Mid
dletown, with 6 points each.
Jay Wees Win
The Smyrna Eaglets rolled over
Middletown by the score of SO to 8,
Tuesday night.
The first half found the score 10
to in favor of Smyrna, in spite of
their sloppy playing.
In the last half Smyrna started
rolling, and every member of the
squad saw action.
Middletown scored the grand to-
tai of one field goal during the con-
test.
O'Neaill was the scoring leader
for Smyrna.

On Friday night, February 6 the
Smyrna Eagles Travelled to Dover
to play the Blue and White coached
under Mr.. George Records, former
coach of the Eagles. 1t was hard
and rough battle all the way as
was expected. At the end of the
first half the Eagles led by the
score of IS to 10. In the third
quarter they piled up a greater
lead. But when the last quarter
came, Dover began to wake up.
Bullock of Dover began to stick the
ball from all angles and scored a
total of 18 points. But the final
whistle had blown before Dover
could overcome the lead which
Smyrna had gained earlier in the
game. Jacobs cid the attack for
Smyrna with 10 points.

Twenty-One Dollars a Month

One of the most important ques-
lions that stares us in the face to-
day and makes us wonder is: Are
our boys in the army making
enough money!" 1t doesn't seem
quite fair for men working on de-
tense to be making anywhere from
85c to $3.50 an hour just for the
average laborer, when our boys in
uniform are giving their all for a
small sum of twenty-one dollars a
month.
Some means of a percentage bas-
is ought to be established SO the
fellows in the army would get a
percentage of their last salary in
stead of twenty-one dollars a day
once a month.
Most of the fellows in the selec-
tive service had good jobs before
they had to be called to the colors.
Is it right for them to make such
a sacrifice for such a small wage
Something ought to be done, but
