THE LOG 5 NOVEMBER By Pauline Smith. November, with all its breakness, Has only this one cheer: Around the corner is a holiday- Thanksgiving will soon be here. In this gray month, the eleventh one, The air is cold and clear, So warm, soft blankets to snuggle under Are considered very dear. How one does hate 'round seven o'clock To hear our Mother in the hall. My dear, it is time to rise and eat, She, through the door, will call. You then will crawl from your warm nest, Cursing an unkind fate. A rush for cluttered clothes, and tlhen You hurry down to eat. Shivering as you go to school Is another hard lot of living, November, one could hardly tear, If it were not for Thanksgiving. Mrs. Charles J. Turck enter- tained the members of the Dan- ville High Players Club Wednes- day evening at Hillcrest with a buffet supper. An interesting talk was made by Professor Taylor, advisor of Dramatics at Centre College. THE. SANITARY B. RBER- iHOP For Good Hair Cuts J. C. Seale, Prop. I l A D. H. S. BOOSTER B. 8: B!

Last February The Log published an editorial on the subject: Suppose that President and Mrs. Roosevelt Should Visit Our School. This, of course, hasn't come true, but Mr. Roosevelt has had an op- portunity of seeing many of the pupils themselves at the Harrodsburg celebration. Did they behave in a manner that would impress him with their politeness and general good behavior? Would we be proud of his opinion of Danville High pupils if they were lo be pointed out to him? Wherever we go, do we represent our school in the way it should be represented? People judge Danville High and all high schools by the students, so we should strive to show in our actions the effech of the ideals and principles of education. In so doing we shall become better individuals as well as increase the prestige of our school. l...i..l--.- GOOD MANNERS The term good manners does not always mean those rules of soc- iety which are told to us in etiquette books. They are usually the customs which time has proved to be the correct thing to do. Good manners are acquired only by daily practice. By the every-day use of good manners, one can obtain a natural graciousness, which is an asset to anyone. The use of these customs of society must always be sin- cere. It is this point that America has failed to stress in the minds of its younger generation. Almost every young American has at some time, either in the home or schoolroom, been taught the correct thing to do at the correct time. Very few, however, understand the impor- tance of good manners and sincerely practice them. It is in a group of young people of the same age that you will find a lack of good manners. Especially is this true in the school of today. There we find young people doing things that they would never think of doing in their homes. Such things as talking when someone else is, rudely interrupting the speaker, making crude remarks about teachers and even friends, taking advantage of a younger child, and deliberately making fun of someone are everyday occurrences in a modern high school. The doers of these deeds would seldom think of doing' them in the presence of older people, or at home. Sometimes the reason for such actions is the desire to attract at- tention. Sometimes it is due to the envy of another person. Usually, however, it is because the person lacks a real sincerity in his own character. When ,a person is sincere he desires to be only what he seems to be and does not tions. A sincere person ness which, in turn, will nered.

Webster was a great man and wrote a great book, but failed to place in his masterpiece those words most needed to express the ten- derest feelings of meng so it is with a groping uncertainty that we attempt to convey a message, heartfelt by all, to the man we learned to love so sincerely. We miss him, sorely, today, as we always shall, and, although a brave attempt is being made to fill his place, that at- tempt will make a place all its own in our hearts, for the one made already, is there to stay, never to be refilled. You of Danville Hi, take him not lightly. Learn how to appre- ciate his presence, for when he is gone, his memory will tear at the hearts of those whg knew him best, So it is with these words, Mr. Sanford, that we wish to express to you, our feelings of our loss, but we 'try to see it for the best, and wish you the utmost success in all your most worthy endeavors. Our arms, as our hearts, are forever open to you, as will be all those, whom you leave behind on your irresistible course forward.-The Senior Class of Murray High School.

6 THE LOG 4 CALL Fon NET PRACTICE ISSUED Griiiin To Have Charge of Prac- tice Until End of Football The first call for basketball practice was issued Monday, No- vember 19, by Assistant Coach Terry Grifiin who will be in full charge of all players until Coach Mountjoy is ready to take charge about the first of December. Plans are to build the team around the two regulars back from last year's first five, Captain Ray Cundiff, and Ralplh Love. Coach Mountjoy will also have Joe Marshall, Joe Brown, Camp- bell Crockett, and Jimmie Robin- son from last year's squad. The Admiral basketball players of 1935 will have a very diilicult year during which they meet such teams as Hazard, Horse Cave, Manual, Ashland and Kav- St. Xavier Next Opponent For Fighting Admirals The Admirals will go under a real test when they meet the pow- erful St, Xavier eleven of Louis- ville next Saturday at the du Pont stadium in Louisville. Last week the St. Xavier squad walloped the Owensboro eleven by a large margin, and will do their best to keep their record of no de- feats clean. At the same time the Admirals will be fighting just as hard to hold their record to the one defeat of the season, that by Male of Louisville, The game will mark the close of high school football for seven Admirals, six of whom are first string men. These are Captain -Ray Cundiff, Tiny Williams, Howard Gregory, Manly McBeath, W. H. Hendren, all backsg John Powell, tackle, and June South- wood, guard. The work of all of these boys this year has been good, and they will be greatly missed when the call is issued next year. Coach Miountjoy will 'have to de- velop an entirely new backfield next year. However, in the Bards- town game, Mountjoy showed the fans that he already has a man who can be shifted into the back- field, Carlisle Johnson, at present an end. Johnson made several runs during the game, and eaclh time proved that he was capable of carrying the ball. The line offers consolation, since all but two men will return next year. anaugh. Several newcomers appear on the Admiral schedule. Horse Cave, Grayson, Cave City and Bards- town. Two major trips are included this year for the squad, one an invasion of the western part of the state and the other the east. Coacl1's Corner In many high schools football is played, yet the game is not played. There are rules to every game and every team should play within the rules. In football the rules are written so that the offense and defense are balancedg that is, when two teams meet and both teams play in the prescribed way, the scoring will be equal. It will be see'n that if one team is larger, or faster, or better coached, it will usually break the balance The trip west starts Jan. 24 in Bardstovm, on Jan. 26 they move to Horse Cave, and on the twenty- sixth to Cave City. Following their return to Danville where they and win. In playing the game, the rules should not be broken but every one should play so as to get every particle of advantage meet tlhree opponents, they will leave for Ashland, whom they play Feb. 8, and, on Feb. 9, they move to Grayson for an engagement. The annual pre-season games with teams in the county have been booked and will be played as usual. The entire schedule is as fol- lows: Dec 14.-Parksville, Burgin, here Dec. Dec. Jan Jan. Jan 18-Wilmore, here 21-Alumni, here 4.-Hazard, There 8.-Wiilmore, here ' 11-Horse Cave, here Jan 19-Manual, here Jan 22-Somerset, here Jan. 24-Bardstown, there Jan 25-el-Iorse Cave, there Jan. Jan. Feb 26-Cave City, there 29-Lexington, there 1--Lawrenceburg, there fContinued on Page Sevenl the rules allow. For instance, the rules say that the offensive linemen may not use their hands on the defensive linemen when blocking. The player who does this is holding and should be penalized. The defensive linemen, however, may use their hands to ward off an opponent. Thus, for a defensive lineman to try to play football and not use his hands would be the same as a prize fighter entering the ring with both hands tied. He should have no reason to expect to win because he has given his opponent every advantage and has not taken advantage of the points which the rules allow him. A very common mistake in line play is closing one's eyes just as the play starts. The offensive player starts to block, closes his eyes, and charges where his oppenent WAS before the play started. The blocker usually lands on his face and does not know why he cannot get his man. If you will question the player, he will probably say that he had his eyes open. To refer to the prize ring again, what kind of slaughter would take place if one opponent blindfolded himself and tried to fight an- other who was not blindfolded? It would be very uninteresting if one fighter were blindfolded and the other had his hands tied. This is one reason why some of our football games are not more interesting. We do not take advantage of what thevrules al- low. A superior knowledge of the game will win most games. ADMIRALS CLOSE HOTME SEASO Keep Record of Not Losing Home Game Since 1925 The Admirals closed their ninth year of home victories in Danville, Friday afternoon, when they de- feated the Bardstown Bulldogs 33 to 14. Tfhe Big Blue from Danville was last victimized in Danville in 1925 when they were trimmed several times, but in 1926 the Ad- mirals started a record which has continued since that time. Since Coach Rice Mountjoy has been here the Admirals have won every home game. 'Ilhe Bulldogs were probably the most crippled team to meet the Admirals this year, but at that they scored more points on the Admirals than have any other team. However, this is no dis- credit to the boys, as the second stringers saw service for the greater part of this game, tlhe regulars playing only a short time. One regular, Cundiif, wasn't dressed because of an injury sus- tained in practice, but it is hoped he will be ready for their next en- counter. Since the last edition of THE LOG, the Admirals have played four games, all in Danville, their opponents being Lexington, Mount Sterling, Middlesboro and Bards- town. The Blue Devils from Lexington put up a stiff fight but they went home on tlhe small end of a 12 to 0 count. This game was won mostly by sleepiness of the Lex- inEton team. In the third quarter Danville scored one of its touch- downs on probably the oldest plav in the history of football. the old hide-out pass. which was complete Cundifi' to Williams for tlhe score.
