Will he recall that Hornsby's

included the l54-game schedule?
II SO, will Frick take into con-

past faced the spitball, shine

pitching deliveries since barred?
And will he add a few points to
Cobb's and Sisters averages to
make up for the absence OF the
sacrifice-fly rule during their day,
a modern scoring device which
relieves a player of a time at

All this hullabaloo about home
runs In recent weeks point up
a bit of irony in the wide range
of values placed on the clout out

Troyan
To Attend
Indiana u.

Captain Robert Troyan will
be attending the intermediate
police supervision seminar held
at the Indiana University in
Bloomington, Ind. from Nov.
18th to Nov. 18th.
This course is designed for
police supervisors of uniformed
forces. The seminar is limited
to a maximum of 80 uniformed
commanders.
The thesis underlying the
seminar is that there is large
difference between a good
patrol officer and a patrol COM
mander.
The supervisor performs sew
eral functions for top command; !;
in-the-scene supervision, SYM
Dol of authority, vehicle for
transmission of information up
and down.
The success of a patrol COM
mander must be evaluated by
his performance of these sew
eral functions.
The purpose of this seminar
is to afford instruction and dis
cussion in the principles of ef-
fective management, human re-
lations, and supervision as they
relate to police problems.
According to Police Chief
H. S. Weaver, Capt. Troyan's

1T seems, about time to con-
slider the industrial arts area as
the one which has broad possibi-
lities for augmentation of ele-
mentary applied mathematics,
physics, chemistry, electronics,
etc." DR. Nichols said. CAS- pro-
grams are generally operated
throughout Ohio, more time is
spent on projects than on trans
lating theory into action"
AS an example DR.. Nichols
pointed out woodworking shops
where students make bookends
or hammers rather than study
the practical mathematics needed
for framing a building.
And other example in the shoY
area pointed out was making
such items as soldering irons.
