SCHOOL SPORTS
NEED BACKING
Chas. V. Williams Tells Lions
School Athletics Must Be
Self-Supporting
PLAN CLUB NIGHT

Charles v. Williams, principal of
the John Bassett Moore High
School, in a talk before the S.... =

stress~G .44e ,--a.a~ler ouiluif,g po-
tentiai u q eOOu athletic I-osram
in school. Speaking on inter
school athletics, with emphasis on
the current football campaign, he
pointed out that it is the policy not
to use any of the state educational
allotment for extra curricula activ-
tiles, and so the athletic program
must be self supporting. The only
source of revenue is from gate re-
ceipts, and this would be sufficient
if the attendance at home games
was good, but according to Mr..
Williams, the community falls far
short of actively supporting the
team. Citing the basic cost to the
school for the years athletics at
$922.50, exclusive of uniforms, he
showed that moral support by in
terested spectators at the games,
is also needed. He outlined the
goals and needs as more and bet
ter equipment, heating lamp,
greater seating, capacity, and a
scoreboard. The Lions were shown
new types of helmets, pants, and
jerseys to compare with the old
uniforms now in use, and told that
25 new helmets at a cost of SIS
each are needed for protection. 1t
was noted that unless the support
of the public in attendance is CIV
en-, athletics will have to be discon-
tinued. During an informal per-
iod the Lions asked what could be
done to help, and the club advocat-
ed a Service Club Night" for Nov.
13, when the Bridgeville, an unde-
feated team, will play Smyrna on
the home field. Members Of other
service clubs in the Smyrna-Clay-
ton area will be asked to help by
their attendance. A committee of
Lions will also investigate other
potential steps needed to help the
situation. Mr.. Williams emphasize
ed the value to the boys, saying
that they get out just what they
put in. Guy Edmondson, Jr., pre-

of all hearing you talk to one of

to watch you light the rag with

everything, too. Have happy Hal

WINS SECOND GAME
Defeated MiddIetown "a to 6 Last
Thursday Evening

After a "a to 6 victory over a
Middletown eleven on last Thurs
day evening, an inspired Smyrna
High football team will be looking
for their third win of the current
gridiron season as they travel to
John M Clayton School tomorrow
evening to meet the Lower Della
ware school for the first time in
the fall sport. Since the Thursday
night affair of last week put the
Eagles back into the winning COL
umn, this game with John M. Clay
ton should prove very interesting
from the spectators standpoint.
Co-Coaches Frank Stellatella and
Bill Horney think that they have
shaken the Eagles starting team
up so that they have several good
combinations on ground plays as
we'll as in the aerial department.
The main weakness of the 'Red
and White" team is the pass de-
fense, but after a full week of
drilling on this weakness it appears
that the Eagles should be stronger
in this department. Middletown
gained much of its ground on short
completed passes over the center
of the Smyrna line. In the Mid
dletown game the Eagles used
mostly ground plays, but after Bill
Cook ran over the pay-off stripe in
two occasions, they decided to take
to the air. Bill Denney caught a
touchdown pass from Sam Jacobs
in the second period as the Eagles
took to the sky. What type of Of
fense the local team will offer an
the meeting with John M. Clayton
is yet unknown, but whatever it
may be, it will prove to be a very
interesting game.

NOTED MOTHER
SPEAKER HERE
Mrs. W. ]. Gordon ST., ''The
Mother of Missionaries"
Guest of Church Group
DESCRIBES ALASKA

Interesting facts about life in
Alaska were given by Mrs. William
]. Gordon, Sr., at an evening meet
ing of the Woman's Auxiliary of
st. Peters Church on Monday, at
which members of the Woman's s
Auxiliary of Christ Church, Dover
were guests. Mrs. Gordon is the
mother of the Rt. Rev. William ].
Gordon, Jr., Bishop of Alaska. She
described the vast distances in the
country, and told of the climate,
the cold, short days when sunrise
and sunset are only separated by a
few hours in the northern part of
the country. Thousands of service
men now are stationed there, add
ed to the population of Eskimo,
Indian, and whites, she said, many
of whom are unchurched. Their
fishing industry results in the
framework of their igloos being
made by whalebone, on which sod
is packed, which is then covered by
snow. There are no houses made
of ice, as often enormously
thought. The work of her son was
described and his use of plane to
reach all the people. His present
plane is called ''The Blue Box" and
blue box, like those in which
women of the Episcopal Church
place their thank offerings, is
painted on the plane. Part of the
UTO goes toward his salary, she
stated. A startling fact was that
Point Hope is only fifteen minutes
by jet plane from Russia. Mrs.
Gordon also referred briefly to the
missionary work of one of her
daughters in India, where the work
is slow. The speaker, who has six
children, five of whom are mission
aries was introduced by the Rev.
F. S. Bancroft rector, as ''the
mother of missionaries. Mrs.
Fred Heinold, Sr., presided, ana
hostesses included Mrs. Warner w.
