Unlimited funds for research in

and will get underway promptly

er must be in the II to % year
age bracket.
No equipment is needed other
than a glove, shoes and uni
form if the player has one. The
Red Birds will supply the bats.
balls and catching equipment.
Our search for the Cardinal
stars of the future goes on
Shannon points out And, while
changing times have brought
about a more selective Approach
in scouting. we still consider
tryout camps a worthwhile part
OF our program. Particularly is
this so when they are held at
carefully chosen spots like this
one. These camps are a real
break for the many mscoutcd
players of ability who desire a
professional baseball career but
lack the chance to prove that
they are ready for it," Shannon
SAYS.
No Charge
No charge or fee is required
to attend the camp. A player
signed to a contract will be re-
funded any expense incurred as
a result Of attending the camp.
To take part in tryouts, an
American Legion player must
have a letter of approval from
either his Legion coach or post
commander.

The Council also approved
creation C the new post Of
assistant executive secretary
william Pace. formerly teach
cr-ccach at Amelia High. is the
Virgi.ia Fioh School League s
executive secretary. He said the
new man to fiji the spot prob
ably will be drawn from coach
ing ranks.
In another action. the Council
approved the request Of District
4, Group II. which includes APP
romattcx High School, to begin
football practice on August Is.
Without special sanction. district
coaches must wait until August
25 to commence practices.
Early Practice
District has maintained that
proper conditioning is not pos
sible under the rush required
when practice starts at the later
date. 1t also said that many of
its athletes are rural area boys
who get no formal recreation
conditioning during the summer,
and need longer conditioning
period to be ready for football.
During separate board meet
ings at the session here. the
Group II board approved the
University of Virginia and VPI
as sites for the new split-division
basketball tournament. 7 h
semifinals and finals will be
played at VMI. Lexington.
The board also accepted Uni
versity of Virginia as the site
for its state track meet.
The Council sessions were held
as the opening conference of the
annual three-day state wide
meeting of Virginia high school
principals this week at Long
wood College.
Decision Weighed
The principals decision on
sitter eligibility requirements
for high school athletes was re
vealing in its detail While. it
was at once abvious that the
atmosphere is changing in favor
of higher standards, the group
finally bowed to a belief among
some PRINCIPALS that it might
serve to separate some boys
from the education process.
The attraction Of athletics and
the influence of coaches are the
prime factors in holding some
bows in school. If higher stand
ards discourage them. they may
be lost for good, the winning
principals maintain.
They also said that subject
proficiency is no longer signifi-
cant since they maintain that
school surveys show that as a
whole. athletes are mong the
top school groups in classroom
attainments. They also express
ed opposition to the singing out
of athletes regarding classroom
standing.
The imperatives of education
in the atomic age are pressing
but the principals also pointed
out to the observer that it re-
mains important to keep people
in the educational mainstream.
That is a point, indeed.

reported to be 20 miles long and
10 miles wide" Added Bartlett:
''No marine resource can sur
vive under such impact. The great
Boring Sea crab fishery will be
exhausted and will be gone if this
sort of fishing continues"
Bartlett's statements were based
on reports at Juneau by Lowell

ASTRONOMY NOTES
BY OLAF HALVERSON

Meteoric showers are popularity
called shooting stars" At least
one shooting star may be seen
every ten minutes, but at certain
times of the year they appear in
showers.
The Perseids, radiating from a
point in the constellation Perseus,
are best seen about o'clock in
the morning. These meteors are
called the clears of st. Law
renee" and are noted in ancient
legends by the "fiery tears" of
this saint who was cruelty perse-
cuted and burned at the stake.
His festival is celebrated on the
10th of August, but his clears"
fall for three nights.
The Leonid star shower radiates
from the vicinity of star in the
sickle of Leo and rains most
thickly in the early morning hours
of Nov. 10 to Nov. Is. On an aver
age of every 80 years the earth S
orbit seems to cut through a
denser portion of this meteoric
swarm which causes especially
beautiful DISPLAYS.
