CITY BA5KETEERS SECOND PRACTICE
 HELD LAST NIGHT

It's an all-service show this year as far as the City League goes. To date, none of the old civilian teams of the league have come back to prance around the maple court. Evidently gone until the end of the war are teams such as the Elks and Bremen.
 The Coast Guard, Sub-Port, Army Squad and Signal Corps teams have now completed the first two practice sessions for the Mo- vember games and are starting to get into shape. Here are the play CTS on each team, although posi- tions have not been definitely de- cided upon. The Coast Guard team :: Harman, Denmark, Nordmeyer, Van Velkenbrugh and Paddock.
 The Sub-Port team boasts a strong contin gent from Minne- sota with Sgt. Hal Lundeberg and ITS Schnell, so far the outstanding players on the Sub-Port team from the North Star State.
 Sgt. Bill O'Shaughnessey is man. ager of the team, the center is Lundeberg, the two forwards, Corp. Paul Kitty of Indiana, and Corp. Harry Calkins of Minnesota; the two guards, Sgt Bob Clair, South Dakota, and Schnell. Substitutes are Sgt. Victor Lien, Pvt. Wally Wellenstein, Pfc. Richard Look and Pfc. Martin Anderson. Lien, We'll ste in and Anderson lived in Minnesota before coming into the Army; six out of nine players on the team from one state
 The Army squad, which it's man. ager says may change its name to the "GI Joes" or something else at a later date. boasts 10 players: Lieut.. Bob Mcclure, Pfc. Jerry Krogman, ITS Harold Kuehne, Sgt. Russell Yates, Capt. Tex" Day, Pvt. Nick Castiglione, Pfc. Art Fisher, Pvt. Joe Rose, ITS Leroy Dompke and S/Sgt. John Menton.
 Krogman and Mcclure are two fast, snappy players and will, in all foresee eeable probability, be among the first-stringers of the team that hasn't as yet picked a name.
 Outstanding so far on the Signal Corps team is Corp. Larry Tenny- son, tall, blonde and fast. Tenny- son is slated as center for the ACS team. Other members of the squad are Corp. Jack Bartlett, Pvt. Charles Croasdill, Pvt. Shirl Bjork, Staff Sgt Charles Hofstatter, TIA John Worgum and Pfc. Glenn Gall braith.
 With the players still unaccus- toned to charging down the floor and throwing the ball through the hoop, it is too early to predict, or even try to- choose the winning team. Three weeks from now and the forecasters will know more about it.

New Century Club Notes

DR.. NJ. Delema Draper was chair
man of the program at the Milford
New Century Club on Monday at
the regular weekly meeting when
the subject was citizenship" In
her talk about her subject, with
which she interspersed many fla
shes of humOr. DIR. Draper took the
letters of citizenship to enumerate
the qualification of a good citizen.
They were conscience and cOopera-
! tive, interest to know, truth and
thOghtfulness, intelligence, zeal,
education and neighbOrliness. With
these qualities and with early
training for citizenship, there
could be no doubt of the required
result. DR.. Draper prefaced her
talk by reading a message from
the national president, Mrs. LaFell
Dickerson, in which she said she
did not tell women how they should
vote but that they should exercise
this right on November Z. The lat
ter part of the talk was devoted to
the Importance of health to sol
diers. DR.. Draper thinks that COM
pulsory health education should be
a part of the school program. The
musical part of the afternoon was
delightful to the members, as we'll.
Mrs. Robert Rudolph played as
piano solo. Rubenstein's Melody
in F." Miss Myrtle Derrickson of
Odessa played MendelssOhn's Ron
do CapriciosO." Mrs. DisstOn w.
Jacobs of RehOboth was present
and sang TOsti's "Goodby' and
Dusky Sleep Song"
Mrs. Charles R. Fries was elected
to membership.
Mrs. NJ. Haswell Pierce reported
on the recent meeting in Dover of
the State Executive Board of Clubs.
at which Mrs. Philip Elliott, the
new president presided. Mrs. Her.
man Phillips gave an incomplete
report of the food sale on Saturday.
, Next week Mrs. Remsen Barnard,
3rd will be in charge of a Mother
craft and Recreation program, a
new department in club work. Mrs.
Barnard will have two high school
pupils to talk on phases of the
subject and there will be music |

compared with $4,000 acres grown
in 1914. and the rye goal has been
set at ll,OOO acres. compared with
$4,000 acres grown in 1914.
Tentative goals for all other
commodities as recommended by
the War Food Administration will
be mailed to the state by Noyem-
Der 10 in order to permit war board
members to review the suggested
goals prior to the meeting on No
vember 81 and 90 These goals set
up by the WA are based on total
needs and capacity of the various
states to produce. The state COM
mittees then set up their own goals
to meet these national needs inso-
far as it is possible with the IA
cilities which are available within
the state.
I'm view of the turn the war in
Europe has taken in the past few
months. it is possible that pro-
duction goals for next year may be
below those for 1914 in the case of
several commodities" said c. E.
Ocheltree, chairman of the State
USDA War Board and of the State
AAA Committee. In past war
years. a particular goal has been
considered as the minimum we had
to have to keep our war effort go
ing. This year, we probably will
consider a goal as that amount
which we ueed to keep our war
running with the full
knowledge that any additional
may become a surplus
commodity"
