Jayuee Eleuens Clash
In 7luin Bill TONIGHT

Battling it out among themselves
for supremacy tonight at the
American Legion Stadium, the
four fine elevens of the Junior
Varsity clash in their first exhi-
billions of Jayvee football ability
The Lions clash with the Forty
and Eight Club in the initial af-
fray at 1880 o'clock, while the
Kiwanis and Jaycees tangle in the
second tilt at $3.50. All of the
teams are sponsored by local
Civic Clubs.
Two fine coaches lock when
they send their respective elevens
against each other in the first
tussel. L. M. Hawkins, new
conner to Wilmington will attempt
to overcome the charges, of Coach
Scott, mentor of last season s
great Junior Varsity squa d..
Hawkins Lions is one of the
smallest group of gricders, but
what they lack in weight they
make up in pigskin knowledge.
Led by Captain Craig Hampton,
who is known well in grammar
school ranks for his play last year
in the city league, the Lions have
developed potent offensive
machine based on the short-punt
formation plays. Charlie Smith,
star of the Hemenway Hepcats a
few years ago, is depended on by
the Forty and Eight boys to crush
the opposing Lions.
Two former Wildcat veterans,
Coaches Whitley Aud and Bill
McElwain, match wits in the sec
ond affair, and both have high
hopes of gaining a one-sided
triumph over the other. LinWood
Peroxide Grissom, talented full
back of the McElwain group and
Homer Ellis are out to topple
whatever hopes the Jaycees might
possess in this very even match.
Husky Clayton Johnson PAGES the
Aulde~s from his spinback slot

J. B. Edwards of the Whining

Brogden Works On Wildcat
Pass Defense For 'Quakes

Concentrating on a strong de-
tense against Goldsboro's passing
attack, the New Hanover High
School Wildcats went through the
motions Of breaking up this, the
Earthquakes main offensive weap-
on, in yesterdays lengthy prac-
tee drills in the last heavy drill
before the crucial tilt, Friday night,
at Goldsboro.
Brogden, himself, let 60 several
heaves during the evening and a
majority of the losses hit their
receivers to show the Cats glar-
ing weakness. The mentor explain
ed that if the overhead system to
the 'Quakes could be bottled up,
the Orange and Black gridders
would have an excellent chance
of routing the Goldsboro machine,
which has lost only to powerful
Raleigh.
While the aerial defense depart
ment stood out during the session
most of the spectators who came
out to look over the practice, were
startled by the punting Of Jim
Gibson, who got off kicks of from
fifty to sixty yards. Besides being
a great booter, this sophomore star
plays first string end, and is a
fine lineman in the forward wall.
Louis 'Bubba' Sykes began to
hit his stride at the tossing duties,
and this triple-threater hit his re-
ceivers with fire-ball throws. Sykes
has been hindered by an arm in
jury most of the season and thus
has not been able to demonstrate
his full ability.
The Hanoverians' colossal tackle,
John Hobbs, proved mainstay
up front in the scrimmages by
wrecking several of the second
teams ground plays. Chubby Paul,
Johns running mate, did not get
in the heavy work, but expects to
be ready for the contest, Friday.
Neal Patrick continued to display
his pass catching ability by pulling
down some of the long losses IN
grand style, while end doc" Ven
ers showed up well also during the
overhead drills.
Brogden said the Cats will go
through only light workouts to-
morrow and will journey to Colds
boro early Friday morning. This
ARRAY ends the Hanoverians' out
of-toWn games.

HISEASE has its secret weapons
too. And their greatest damage
80 is inflicted on the bodies Of little
children, whose growing forms they
have the power 10 stunt, distort or
enlarge out of all proportion.
Like a beaten, retreating army
which leaves behind its time bombs,
hidden mines and BOBBY traps, these
germs Of childhood infections have
their own means of continuing their
destruction even after they have left
the field.
Back Of most cases of glandular
inactivity or atrophy there lies a
childhood disease-measles, scarlet
fever, smallpox, influenza, pneu.
monia and many others.
An outstanding specialist in the
field of endocrinology, DR.. James IL
Hutton, OF Chicago, says:
childhood diseases so often
involve the endocrine glands, and it
is important for the physician who
treats a child for scarlet fever or
some other infection TO watch care
fully the growth tendencies of such
a child for some time after the
disease itself is cured.
Amy tendency for the growth TO
accelerate or 10 slacken should be an
immediate signal TO parents and ply
sicians that all is not well with his
glandular system.
These things should be caught
y early, for once q child has grown
to giant proportions there is no way
to reduce his size Likewise, it is too
late to attempt TO increase the growth
of a dwarf after he has reached
adulthood."

A Pittsburgh doctor describes a
beautiful blonde who got into an
argument with her boy friend one
evening, during which he gave her
push and she fell to the sidewalk and
died At the post mortem, doctor
found an enlarged thymus and fragile
blood vessels, one of which had rup-
tured into the brain, causing death.
The adrenals, according TO doc.
tors, are as essential to life as the
heart itself. They are concerned with

weak, develops a brownish discolora-

in spots subjected to pressure, nausea
and vomiting with extremely rapid

Science estimates that 90 per cent
of convulsions in children under two
years of age are due to parathyroid

results in weakness and pain in the

When disease impairs the pitui-
