Mr. J. T. Fox, the new athletic di rector of Asheboro high school, was in town Monday looking over his equipment and prospective material for the football season, which is close at hand. Coach Fox is a- graduate of the University of N. C., where he also engaged in athletics, making the squads in two of the major sports. Last year he had charge ef the ath letics in the Chapel Hill high school, where his teams made very creditable records in all of the sports. He comes to us well recommended. Coach Fox will hate a fine supply of material on hand when practice starts next week. Only one or two men were lost through graduation last spring and all of the other old men from last year's team are planning to return. A list of those who are in tending to flight for places on this year’s team includes: Clarence Over man, Leo Rich, Raymond Crotts, Odell Cranford, Arthur Miller Howard Fox, Gordon York, Edward Ariniield, Lloyd Keever, Vance Kivett, Walter Pres nell, Jack Hasty, Cart Hamlet, Clay McCain, Wayne Kearns, William Cof fin, Milton Hanner, Nyal Johnson, Carlisle Page, Hugh Brown, James Holder, Coleman Moore, Hlillis Brown, Vernon DeMarcus, Alex Fox, Carwell Smith, Robert Brittain, Robert Ferree, Reitzel Smith, Hurdle Lea. Of this list, the lettermen returning from last year's team indude: Odell Cranford, Raymond Crotts, Clarence Overman, Arthur Miller, Gordon York, Vance Kivett, Walter Presnell, Jack Hasty, Carl Hamlet, James Holder, Robert Ferree and Hurdle Lea. Last year's team had an average weight of 155 pounds, and since practically all of this tev.m is back and the prospects bright for more heavy material, the outlook seems to point toward a good, heavy team this year. Most of the boys have been working this summer and are in good condition physically. By raising the standards last year, and having better material this seas on, Asheboro high school is pointing toward and will be able to enter the high school football championship se ries -which is conducted by the Uni versity of N. C. each fall. This schol arship regulation as stated in the rules of the championship series is: “In order for a student to be consider ed eligible to represent any particu lar high school in the general high school football contest of 1929, the student must have made passing grades for the four months or longer spring term of the school year 1928 29 on at least three studies, every one of these studies .carrying five recitations of 40 minutes each per week, (or in lieu of this requirement, then passing grades on such an addi tional number of courses'than three which altogether carfy .•■'total of at least 600 minutes perweek in actual recitation)”. Since theagsasa will be able to meet this tequirStifertt, it will be the aim of Ashebdro high school to go into the champidnship'Ueries this fall with a determination' to megt and handle rough any opposition that stands in its way. Clean athletics and good sportsmanship regardless of the score will be one of the ideals of our team this year as it has in years past. The football team will hold its first meeting Tuesday aftemobn, Sept. 10, in the auditorium of the School build ing. Coach Fox has called the meet ing at 3 o’clock and tfrgeh all of the old men and any new 'Ohfes’Tregardless of whether they Have ever played or not, to be present for this meeting, as it is very important.

Swastika Always HaldT^ *) Emblem of Good Luck The swastika, which is the cross made by crossing two letter “Z’s” has been the symbol of good lock for so long back that no reliable evidence has been preserved to Indicate just why this particular Ideograph should have Its present significance. We do know that from time out of mind it* has had this significance, and among peoples In all parts of the world ex cepting Africa, Polynesia, Australia and the polar regions. ' The swastika as the good-luck sym bol is found In China, Korea, Japan and India. As far back as In ancient Troy the swastika was used In this sense by the Myceneeans. It Is found In relics of such widely separated peo ples as those who Inhabited Europe during the Bronze age, the Etruscans, the Indians of our own Colorado and Mexico, and among others of North American natives who antedated Co lumbus by at least ten centuries. Another Curiously significant fact Is that In the Indian language the word “swastika" means good luck; while In ancient Sanscrit “swasti” means “ball” or "be well.”—Kansas City Times. Wizard of Electricity on Starvation's Verge A story Is told about Charles P. Stelnmetz that, true or not. Illustrates his peculiar temperament, writes Jonathan Norton Leonard In World’s Work. A friend who bad known him at Yonkers eam^ to see him soon aft er he bad gone to Lynn, Mass., with the General Electric. He found ’him In a sad state His clothes showed frantic signals of distress, his face looked pinched and thin. It wasn’t easy to get at the root of the trou ble, but at last the friend Induced Stelnmetz to talk. By some clerical mistake Stein metz’s name had not been entered on the pay roll and he had received no money at all In the four weeks he had been at Lynn. His own mea ger savings had nearly run out end he was too proud to complain. There were men at Lynn who were work ing for nothing, glad of the experi ence which the Job gave them, and Stelnmetz concluded he was In this classification. “Conversational” Dinner One night at the White House dur ing the Presidency of Theodore Roosevelt there met at dinner John Hay (then secretary of state), Sir Martin Conway, Walter Wellman, James Ford Rhodes, the historian, and, of course. President Roosevelt. Next day Hay and Rhodes met again and the following conversation en sued: Rhodes—That was a nice conversa tional dinner we had at the White House last night. Hay—Conversational do you call It? How long were we at the table? Rhodes—About two hours. Hay—Well, Wellman talked a min ute, Sir Martin a minute and a half, you a minute and 1 not more than that, and Theodore talked all the rest of the time. Do you call that con versation?—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Net Such a Big Success The late Walter Kingsley, one ef the last of the old time press agents, once released an elephant In the streets of New York while doing pub. Udty for “The Circus Man.” He tele phoned his “loss” to the police de partment and a squad of officers went. out. They found the elephant all right and bad they but known it, the animal would have followed them peacefully with the offer of a few peanuts. k Instead, they frightened the ele phant, which dashed Into ah office building, wedged Itself In the door way and half the building had to be torn down In order to release It ———.
