Every effort has been made by the entire staff to make it a literary and financial success. And When speaking of finances, it occurs to me that it might be a good idea to let our gentle readers know that putting out a copy of the SHIELD these days is quite a different proposition from the good old days of a year or two ago. Prices are so high now that it was a perplexing problem as to how we could make expenses. There is always the one way of cutting down in size and quality, and thereby maintaining the same price, but after careful consideration we cameto the con- clusion that by asking seventy-five cents a copy instead of fifty, and making an equal raise in advertising rates we would be able to offer the same quality and size, and still keep our heads above water. We sincerely hope that in so doing we have the backing of the school, and just as soon as prices begin to get back to their normal state, just so soon will the SHIELD drop back to its old scale of prices. There is one thing in connection with our school journal that we would like to mention, and it is something we wish you would all remember for future editions. The SHIELD is not sufficiently representative of the school. It is too much the work of a few fellows and naturally lacks the democratic spirit. Everyone is enthused at the idea of getting out a fine edition of the SHIELD, yet they will sit idly by and contribute nothing. The paper should be of the school, for the school and, most important of all, by the school. The Staff needs your support, wants your suggestions and ideas, and it must have material. Don't think that because you are not on the Staff that you should take no interest in the SHIELD. It is your paper, and if you can write a story, or a poem, or if you can draw pictures, you should do it. Come around and talk to the editor and if you are willing you will find he will always have something for you to do. The Senior-Junior Dance The SHIELD is going to press too soon to enable us to give an account of the dance, but we can predict one thing-and that is a perfectly wonderful time for all the lucky ones who will be present. Remembering the success of last year's dance, Mr. Potter has consented to let us repeat the event on Saturday evening, the 24th of May, and everyone is anxiously awaiting this date. Mrs. Potter has again offered her very valuable services, and a committee consisting of Lermen and Jackson from the first class and Burbank Somers and Bruce Dohrrnann from the second class, has been elected to work with her. The affair will not be elaborate, but the committee has arranged very suitable decorations for the gymnasium and a nice supper will be served. Eleven THE POTTER SHIELD milf' twill wi Senior Day Senior Dqy like everything else this past season, suffered from a severe attack ' ' t t ' ' d th t of flu and could not be made the interesting and en er aining ay a was lllf li! ned. Had ure been able to pull off the program proposed, we would ii p an D undoubtedly have achieved the greatest Senior Day success in the history of such days at school. The class had several closete sessions . , -- U 1 he finally urn-ed us to give up our ambitious plans, as it would take much more preparation than we could possibly give at that time. But we firmly resolved not to give up everything, and at the very last minute got together a series of events lasting from ten until almost noon. r At that time we filed in and took seats in the front of the room as per usual, and the business commenced with the awarding of letters to the members of this year's football team and last year's baseball team. However, before the letters were awarded, Mr. Potter called upon Mr. New- some to say a few words regarding the significance of such an award, and Mr. Newsome responded splendidly, making us more appreciative of such distinction. After the awarding of the letters Mr. Potter informed us of Mr. Goodwin's intention of leaving our faculty to accept a position as scout leader in Portland, Oregon. We were all sorry to know that he was to leave us, as he was much respected and admired at school, but we were glad to know that it was to his advantage. The members of his scout troop here at school had learned about his intention of leaving, and were prepared. They presented him with a beautiful silver loving cup, a token of their esteem. It was a complete surprise to Mr. Good- win, as could be easily seen by the way he acted. A speech was in order, but Mr. Goodwin was too overcome with gratitude to say more than that it was certainly appreciated. Next came our gift to the school. After many star-chamber meetings and much heated debate, we decided to present Mr. Potter and the school with a bronze plaque engraved with the names of our former students and masters who were then in the service. The plaque was also a complete surprise to Mr. Potter, and after accepting it from President D1b Summers he told us how he appreciated it and how appro- priate he considered it at that time. Then Mr. Potter had a surprise for us. He announced' the fact that our Old friend and present hero, Lieutenant Dido Humphries was to join the faculty after the Christmas holidays It certainly was a su ' ' ' d applause and enthusiasm. muse an was greeted by Wlld d ' with our adviser Mr Damon and Eddy was next wished a Merry Christmas by Dib whg presented our h-th - ' ' ' . muc Aft oulglht oiiteward with a nice, neat little envelope, which speaks for itself, 91' 15, T- Damon, compelled by necessit d to the school, in which he urged us to put forth our ffrermiiy eta Qmihiy HSS address and pm alike- H t . 1 , es euor s in a our work Y e cer am y said a t interest that our Senior master takesgiausmany line things, which goes to show the Mr. Potter then sprang another ' Class, however. some little time surprise, Which was limited to the Senior the Winning team was Offered b Nigopa Prize of a box of candy to each member of T Z y T' Otter In 3 game between the first and second we ve A. . 14,-Il W' v alll ,wg-9 Iliigiigf fkiQlsf'f'jF ' 1 .'

We not only have to leave the school building, but we must leave Mr. Potter, our teachers and our friends, who mean so much to us. It has been the privilege of two members of this class to have been with the school since that memorable day in September of 1912, when Mr. Potter founded the institution, but the school, the teachers and the fellows are as much a part of the lives of those of us who have not been here so long, as they are to the two charter members. Wie, the Class of June '19, have to make a big change in our lives. VVe leave the familiar scenes of the past years to take up life and work in altered and un- familiar surroundings. We shall not have the friendly, willing and guiding hands of our present masters to help us out of our troubles, but we shall be just a little group of saplings in the great forest of life, and it will be up to us to withstand the storms and gales of the winter, and grow into large, strong, deep-rooted trees. WVe sincerely hope that before we go, Mr. Potter and the masters will forgive us for all the little thoughtless annoyances that we know we have been guilty of, and we want to express our thanks to them all for the never-failing patience, the willingness to forgive, and the kindness with which we have been treated. In future years we shall look back on our few short years at Potter's with the greatest of pleasure, and realize what a priviQege it was for us to have been here. xxph Q Www: Q - -- 9 -- s X - . -,X . 1s..,.,,,,.i,...,.i..,,,,.V...l. ., -..U T'lUC'I2Ii1j-fIZI'66 mx A V - ,.

Surely she must have dreamt it, yet she could have sworn she heard a revolver shot. The sharp crack seemed still echoing in her ears 5 but the street was silent, and the pale moonlight filtered undisturbed through her window. Queer, she thought, it hadn't seemed like a nightmare-still- With a splintering crash something hurtled through the window and fell heavily on her bed. For a moment she lay motionless, then she sat up and stared stupidly at the cause of the disturbance. A gruff voice murmured outside-a few seconds of silence and then heavy footsteps stumbled up the stairs. ' V Barbara reached out her hand and touched the thing on her bed. The moon- light fell directly on it and it gleamed a bit ominously. She started violently as her fingers came in contact with the cold metal. Suddenly the door burst open, and a blinding flash-light played over the girl. A man's voice muttered something. Four blue-coats entered the room. A faint click in the darkness-and the place became flooded with light. T Barbara gazed wide-eyed at the intruders. She was fearfully hot now g even the night air seemed oppressive. Her cheeks were flushed and the blood pounded violently in her throat. ' One of the officers stepped forward. His eyes darted to her face-to the shat- tered window pane-to the glittering thing in her hand. Only her breathing broke the stillness of the room. The policeman's eyes narrowed toslits. To the terrified girl his face seemed but a luminous blur. Faintly she heard his voice- You are under arrest-murder- She fainted away. PIC Pk Pk Pk wk George Brady, lawyer, newspaper reporter, and amateur detective, buttoned his coaticollar higher as he strode ,down the street. Winter was in the offing, and his breath clouded as it came in contact with the crisp, cold air. Suddenly he paused, listening. Borne on the breeze came the shrill cry of the newsie: 'fEXtry! Extryl Prom'nent San Franciscan murdered! Extryl Terrible murder- Brady broke into a light run. Here, boy-Examiner-all right, keep the change. He stepped into a corner drug-store to read his paper. Rapidly he ran his eyes over the details. Man shot on Divisadero street-about midnight-police End body-broken window-suspicion-Miss Barbara Oarrolyn found with weapon-arrest- Brady dropped the paper, and leaned against the cornice. Queer, he thought, shooting through a window like that. What reason could she-why the whole thing was idiotic-it didn't seem- Brady stepped out into the street and hailed a taxi. Sunset Police Station, he told the driver. ac wk :kg wk wk Sergeant Goff looked up as a shadow fell across his desk. Oh, hello George 5 how's tha boy? In here about last night's little job, eh?

She scarcely seemed to breathe. 0 , Miss Carrolyn, he repeated softly, Hwonlt you talk w1th me? I ve been looking through your case, and I don't think it's as bad as it looks. I'd like to- that is, if I can-I mean-I-oh, damn it, I want to help you, Miss Carrolyn, I believe in you. Don't you think you could tell me everything-in your own words? She looked up at him suddenly, her lips quivering, her eyes moist. 'fThank you, she whispered, thank you-so. You can't know how- Her voice broke, she caught her breath, and great hot tears streamed, down her face, as she sobbed out the whole story. . , wk is :ue :nc ac For over a week Brady had worked hard on the case. Body and mind were about exhausted. He sighed happily as he crawled into bed, and stretched himself out. Then he grunted slightly. After all-what had he really done? Worked?Q+ yes. Strained night and day to solve his problem?-yes. But what was accomplished? The girl was innocent, certainly. No one with eyes like Barbara's-Miss Qarrolyn's, he meant-could be guilty of such a crime. His evidence was clear, it was true-and yet, something was lacking. And the trial was set for tomorrow. He must try-he had to do something. What was needed-what had he forgotten -what was- Suddenly his face cleared. A satisfied, happy smile stole over his mouth, as, burrowing under the covers, he fell asleep.

For the first time Barbara began to take notice of her surroundings. Your Honor, 'Gentlemen of the J ury- Brady's voice was low, but possessed remarkable carrying qualities, I will take the liberty of acting as the defendant's attorney, insomuch as my testimony contradicts that of the prosecuting attorney. According to statements made by recent witnesses on the stand, the known facts of the case are about as follows: About midnight of Saturday last, the officer on the Divisadero street beat heard a shot fired, one shot. It came, apparently, from just around the corner. As the officer hurried in the direction of the sound, he heard a distinct crash, as of breaking glass. A moment later he stumbled over the body of a man, still twitching. Death had been instantaneous, the bullet entering the brain. The officer, after calling for help, noticed broken glass on the pavement, and traced it to a window above the scene of the crime. When three men from the adjoining beats had arrived, the four went upstairs to the room with the broken window. The defendant was found in bed with a smoking revolver in her hand. Am I correct in my statements so far? The judge nodded silently. The jury were whispering among themselves. Barbara shifted a bit in her chair as Brady continued: A The assumption is, then, that the defendant shot at and killed the deceased from her bed-room window. The revolver found in the defendant's hand, as well as the broken window, seem to point to this conclusion-but-where is the motive? It is absolutely certain that the defendant was unacquainted with the deceased. Why, then, Your Honor and Gentlemen of the Jury, should a young girl of unquestionable character, shoot an absolute stranger, for no apparent reason? The thing is absurd. , But here is the point that absolutely proves the defendant's innocence. The bullet, on the coroner's own testimony, passed through the throat of the deceased, and entered the brain. Now, I ask you: is it possible for a bullet shot froman elevation of approximately twenty-five or thirty feet, to enter the throat and pass up through the brain? Your Honor and Gentlemen of the Jury, I think you cannot help but agree with me when I say such a thing is impossible. Brady stopped for a moment and swept hiseyes over the hushed courtroom. Then, taking a deep breath, he continued: Your Honor, may I suggest that you detail proper authorities to investigate my statements? Thank you. And in the meantime, would it not be possible to- PIC Pk Pk Pk :lf . Twenty minutes later the jury filed back into the box, silent and reserved. Benches creaked as people bent forward to get the verdict. I j George Brady sat with a peculiar smile twisting his mouth, but Barbara remained expressionless, as in a trance. The foreman of the jury rose awkwardly and cleared his throat. Your Honorf' the man fumbled for his words, the court-er-returns a verdict of 'not gwlltyf and recommends- His voice faded away as a sigh of relief burst from a hundred throats. wk Pk Pk PIC ik As Brady slipped her cloak over her shoulders, Barbara turned and touched his arm.

Aw, what do you want to hit at tha for? Way above your head! Ball one? That sounds better. Lay low on the high one's, kid. Ball two? Yea bo! Come on, now, pepper, pepper, pepper! More pepper on first there. Strike three. Ye gods and little horn toads! didn't I tell you not to strike at the high one's? That's two down. Oh! baby, look who's up-'lil ole Ploddin' Pete. Look at him hit it! Run, kid, run 5 slide, slide, atta boy. Safe on third? Hooray! you hit in two men. Take a lead. This lively line of chatter was coming from Live Wire Alston, who was coaching on third base, and who was recognized as being the liveliest and peppiest fellow in the school. ' The second man referred to was Plodding Pete Sharks, an exact opposite to Alston. He played right field and had gone through the previous season without an error, and hitting .346 5 yet somehow no one took any notice of him. Perhaps it was because he wasn't always fighting and getting into trouble, like Alston. Every- body knew Alston. He was a good student, but was nearly always in trouble of a minor character. He had played quarterback on the football team for the past three years, and was a good third baseman. He was full of speed, pep, fight and fun. On the other hand, was Pete Sharks. He was a fine student and was scarcely ever' in trouble. He had played right guard ever since he had come to Whittier Academy, five years before, and guarded right field without criticism, and yet somehow he wasn't considered a star. And yet somehow or other Alston came to the front, not for his playing, which was sometimes faulty, but because he was always a real red-hot twisting, peppy, live wire. He threw his bait of bull, to speak crudely, and the boys swallowed the bait, sinker, leader and yards of line. A The baseball team had gone through a very successful season, winning ten games and losing only two, and on the day before the final game with Bayville High the averages of the players were posted up. On examination it could be noticed that Shark's fielding had remained at the 1.000 mark through the entire season, while his hitting stood at .364 Alston's fielding was listed as .748 and his hitting at 284. Although his mark of 1.000 had been noticed, it had created very little stir, because after all it was only Plodding Pete. The next day was the great game with Bayville High and early in the after- noon the crowd of eager spectators began arriving. At three o'clock the game commenced, and from the very start it was a well- matched contest, neither team scoring during the first three innings. Then the pitcher seemed to lose control of himself and Bayville got in three runs. Until the seventh inning the score was unchanged, but by one good hit and an error Whittier managed to get in two runs, making the fever of excitement rise to an alarming temperature. Both grandstands were fairly creaking under the wild demonstrations of an excited crowd that had their whole hearts and souls in the game. At the beginning of the last half of the ninth the score was the same. Then something happened. Live Wire Alston got up to the bat, and got hit by the Twenty-mlne THE POTTER SHIELD bad as Alston had struck out three times, 0 ' l li Cl. thfil' J , , first ball pitched.

About midnight the crowd broke up and each one sought his room for much needed rest. Until somewhere around four o'clock everything was quiet and still, but then a wild shouting of Fuel fire! could be heard. Alston woke up and jumping out of bed rushed to the window, where he could see that the building in which the lower school boys lived was one mass of seething A flame. Jumping into some of his clothes he dashed out of the house and ran over to the scene of the fire. Everyone was up, everyone was excited, and everyone was shouting orders and offering suggestions to the sleepy firemen, and yet nobody seemed to be accom- plishing anything. The fire had made such terrific headway that it looked as though it would be impossible to save the building. 4 The headmaster was there checking up on the boys, and as he shouted the names out, each boy answered promptly until he came to Stanton. He repeated the name and still there was no answer. My God, boys! he yelled frantically, where's Stanton? Where is Stanton?

Alston, as president of the student body, addressed the boys. Fellows, he said quietly, I do not think that it is at all necessary for us to take a Vote on this question. A week ago, I suppose the cup would have gone somewhere else but now things are different, and I want all tho-se in favor of giving the cup to dear old tPlodding Pete,' to signify, not by saying 'Aye,' but by shouting. Then the shouting and yelling that went on was such as was never heard at Whittier, not even at their most exciting games or rallies. Plodding Pete was a hero, and the din of shouting floated over into the little room in which he was lying in bed and made him glad. ROBERT GUMP, '21.

He was roughly dressed and hard looking, and yet beneath it all could be seen an appearance of refinement. He was handsome, or had been at one time, and as he sat there playing cards, half drunk with whiskey, one could easily see h l h d been a victim to the surroundings in which he lived. t at ie a He was losing as he had been nearly all evening, and his roll had shrunk t'l he had only one bill left He took a deep breath and threw the bill down on the un 1 - table. The cards were played, and the last bill followed the others into the hands of his companions. Lennard was furious. He jumped up and overturned the table yelling, You 'P damned bunch of swindlers, you will take all a man's money, will you. Well take that. He grabbed his revolver and fired two shots at the men, but in his half-drunken condition the bullets went wild. ' In an instant everything was in an uproar. Men and women came running in from the other room and Lennard was surrounded. His gun had been knocked out of his hand, but he stood there, a great beast, six feet two inches tall, weighing over two hundred pounds, and he laughed a reckless, wild sort of laugh, and dared any one to touch him. His eyes rolled in their sockets and his clenched fists were waiting for the attack. ' Two men rushed at him and then commenced a fierce struggle. Lennard wasn't a man-he was a furious, maddened, wild beast, and he fought and bit and tore at the men until he was free of them. For an instant he stood there, bleeding and torn, foam dripping from his mouth, his breath coming in jerks, and his clothes all but stripped from his body. Then he had an idea. He seized a chair standing near him and hurled it at the single oil lamp that swung from the ceiling. There was a crash of glass and then darkness. . For a second there was a silence, and a little voice could plainly be heard to scream, Daddy, oh, my daddy! It went through Lennard like a shot. He knew it. It was his child, his little boy. 1Out of the darkness he yelled, Tommy, my boy, I will meet you Outsidenu rlhen begah 3' frantic Struggle to S'00p him, in which everybody joined, but the 5335 He exhausted on the Stairs. 7 ng open the doors, he fell bleeding and H' h'ld ' - . . at his Ejtchiru was there, the JUGQJTS 1'0h1I1g d0WH h1S face, his tiny hands' clutching Oh, d dd , Q1 1 ,, LOO?,, a Y addy' What has happened? he moaned.

OY0 i fvvfgjt A THE POTTER SHIELD The child broke down, and resting his head against his father's torn and bleeding shoulder, he poured forth all the stored-up misery and suffering in his heart. In an instant all the wild beast left Lennard as quickly as it had come, and he tried to soothe and comfort the poor little child whose very heart seemed to be breaking. There, Tommy, boy, tell daddy what is the matter. The little fellow swallowed an awful lump in his throat and looking his father square in the eyes he said, f'Daddy, I have come to take you to mama, she is dying. Lennard stared wildly at the child. His wife was dying. At first he couldn't get it through him. But what did his wife mean to him? She was the mother of his children, the person that took care of his house, and even of him. But did he care for her? When he asked himself this question, his mind went back twelve years to the time when he met his Alice in the little town back in Massachusetts where they both lived. He loved her and she loved him, and they lived happily together for five years, until Lennard got the craze for gold and had gone out West with his Wife and little family. I Here wife and family were soon forgotten, and Lennard had sunk slowly in the scale of life until he found himself nearly at the bottom. But she was dying now, and all at once he realized what he was going to lose, and what he had care- lessly disregarded for the past five years. Tommy, he moaned, is it true? The little lad was too overcome to speak, but simply shook his head affirmatively. Lennard took his hand and set off as fast as his exhausted condition would permit, to the only doctor in the town. I-Ie finally got the doctor out and told him what he wanted. The physician looked at him narrowly and said coldly, I will require fifty dollars paid in advance to go out to such a place as you live. , Money, money-Lennard had none. I-Ie had lost his last cent only a few minutes before. But, doctor, he said, 'ffor God's sakecome. My wife is sick, and if you don't come to help her she will die. Surely you won't stand by and see a woman die without helping her. His pleading tone and manner would have melted a rock, but the doctor remarked icily, I am sorry, but I cannot and will not go out without fifty dollars in advance. Again the wild beast sprang into Lennard's breast and, hissing a horrible curse, he drew back his clenched fist to strike the doctor, but then something seemed-to tell him not to do it. His Alice wouldn't want him to be around town shooting and striking at people. He realized that he was a gentleman, or had been, and tossing his head back in the old manner that he had not used for five years he said, Good nightf' and strode off with his hand in his boy's. Tommy, boy, tell daddy how sick mama is. I I At the mention of this the little lad burst into tears again and said, Oh, very sick, daddy! She just lies on her bed moaning and crying for you. I couldnlt stand to hear it any more,. daddy, so I told mama I was going to get you, and I didf' Lennard's conscience cut him clear to the heart, as he realized that for the past five days he had been in town, drinking and gambling, while his poor wife, at home, had taken sick and was on the point of death, without him to take care of I Thilrty-five THE POTTER SHIELD and comfort her Hurry Tommy?

There were still ten to go, which would mean three hours of hard, steady walking. . . - ' ' ' 1 h a s a d bl d Lennard never thought of his condition. His c ot es were in r g , n oo was still dripping from some of his wounds, but his fast pace never slackened. Another hour passed in silence, and then both father and son noticed a cold wind springing up. Being in the dead of winter Lennard knew what this meant, and he tried to walk even faster. But it was no use. Inside of half an hour the snow began falling and the wind came on in earnest. It howled through the trees, ' nt branches bowed in mute submission to its power Father and son whose gia ' I braced themselves, and with bent heads forced their way through the barrier of i V snow and wind. For a quarter of an hour they staggered on, but the little boy's strength had slowly given out, and he dropped to the ground, his hand still clutched in his father's. Lennard stopped, got down on his knees and swung the little fellow on his back. ' The storm was now raging, and the blinding snow had completely covered up all indications of a trail, but Lennard knew where he was going, and he was going to get there, if it was the last thing in the world that he ever did. As he staggered on he silently prayed to God that he might spare his life long enough to let him say his last farewell to his dying wife. , . FF PIC Pk 14 Pk Pk ik DIC Pk Pk Let us look into his little home for a minute and survey the pitiful condition there. In one corner of the room was a bed, on which lay a pale and suffering woman. Now and then she would open her eyes, and clasping her hands together would moan, in an almost death-like voice, Bob, my Bob! where are you? Oh! where are you? . At the foot of the bed sat her ten-year-old daughter, a pretty little child, but completely worn out and exhausted from the faithful watching of her mother. Her eyes were full of tears, and now and then a great sob shook her poor little worn-out body.

And oh! she does want to see you so badly 5 she keeps calling your name and praying for you. Lennard took a deep breath, and with a mighty effort struggled to his feet. Thank God I am in time, he muttered, and taking his daughter's hand, he managed with a superhuman effort to force his way through the blinding snow and terrible wind. They reached the house in safety and entered the room in which Mrs. Len- nard lay at the point of death. Her hands were clasped as in prayer, and she was moaning, 'fBob, oh, my Bob! where are you? Lennard stood still a moment 3 then, staggering toward the bed, Alice! Oh, God! here I am, dear, here I am. At these words the dying woman raised her head as much as she could, and whispered, Bob, Bob, my husband! I knew you would come. Oh! how happy I am! Now I can die in peace, dear, for Almighty God has answered my prayer and brought you to me. Her dimmed eyes could not see the painful, ragged and exhausted condition in which Lennard was, and a faint smile showed on her thin pale lips, as she knew her Bob was near. Lennard was speechless with grief. He put his arm under his wife's head, and gently kissing her cheek said, Dear little Alice, I hope, dear, that before you go you will forgive me for the way I have treated you. Since we came out to this cursed country I have changed from a loving husband to a poor savage brute, and oh, God! I realize what I have lost, lost forever. Alice, forgive me for it, and as you go, dear, think of the happy days back in the East when all I had was you and all you had was me. The little woman looked up and tried to smile and said softly, Dear Bob, I forgive you for it all. I knew you still loved me, and I prayed God that before I died you might come to me and say it yourself, dear, as you used to before we came out to this awful country. And when I'm gone, Bob, take good care of the children. They're yours and mine, dear, and you must be both father and mother to them now. Her voice was dying away and Lennard saw that the end was coming fast. Alice, he said, I solemnly swear never to desert the children, and to take the best of care of them as long as they need it, in loving memory of you. Good-bye, little Alice 5 farewell forever.

In HUIP' ' to THE POTTER SHIELD The Twentieth Century The telephone bell rang insistently from a table in Stanley Fording's apart- ment. He crossed to answer it. Hello. Oh, yes, Mal. What's the matter? What in the deuce! Come down? Say, man, do you think I'm a horse? Eh! Damnation! I'll be down right away. With a mind half dazed Fording rushed across the room, got into an overcoat, and a few minutes later was breaking all the speed laws in the state. As he got out on the highway his mind began to readjust itself. Dave killed? No 5 it couldn't be. Why, only yesterday he had been watching the final test of Dave's new insu- lation and listening, for the two hundred and tenth time, to the explanation of its purpose and possibilities. Murder-that was it. The formula would be of immense value to any of the rival concerns, but which of these could it be? There wasn't a single one that would dare to stoop to such a dastardly act 5 but the fact was there- Dave was killed. ' He turned down a side road and about a mile from a little town came into sight of a cluster of factory buildings with a smaller white edifice set off nearer the road. In front of this he stopped and a minute later was met by the plant foreman, who, without a word, led him into a large room. It was a typical research laboratory such as are being invested in more and more by concerns of the present day. Completely equipped down to the smallest detail with electrical, chemical, and mechanical appliances, it regularly formed the work- ing place for a staff of scientists whose sole object was to turn out a more efficient and more perfect product. A The room which Mal, the plant foreman, and Fording entered was oblong in shape and equipped principally for chemical research. At both ends were cases containing many varieties and forms of chemical apparatus and chemicals. A table running down the center of the room had on it an electrical furnace and several other bulky pieces of apparatus. But down the other two sides of the room were long tables, each having a large sink in it. In front of the left of these, Fording's eye fell on the still form of Dave Mowbly, his college companion and co-worker for six years. It was Stanley who possessed the keen scientific insight, but Dave -a chemist-was the genius. For years it had been his dream to succeed in per- fecting a suitable insulation for a lighter and better storage battery. And now, just at the point of success-+death. Stanley's hand trembled and he swallowed hard as he stooped and gently lifted off the rough blanket that had been thrown over the body. Dave lay with his head on his arm, as if he had suddenly grown very tired and gone to sleep. At any rate, Stanley thought death had come easily and without pain. He got up abruptly and, with the foreman, walked into the outer ofiice. He looked up questioningly, and the latter began his story. About half an hour before I rang you up and just after I had dismissed the vat-house crew, at about ten, one of the men told me he wanted to turn up some work on the lathe, so I came over here for the new cutting tools. I also wanted the quotations on that lot of hard-rubber sheeting you ordered last Week: From where I was I could see the light in that room there?-he pointed to the room from which they had just come- where Dave said he was going to worknlate tonight. Tlmty-nine THE POTTER SHIELD B tl l e told me this afternoon that the formula was completed and he had y .ic way, 1 . .

Stanley nodded his head. n . 4 I haven't the formula, he said quletly- The foreman stiffened and let out an oath. l You see, that's what they came for-the formula. But who could it be? None of our rivals are dirty enough for a job like that, andlyet-Oh, h-ll With Mal, he returned to where Dave lay and examined the face and head closely. Finally he straightened up and strode to the end of the room where, out of a case, he took a bottle of aluminum powder and a spatula. He carefully sifted a little of the powder on the space just between the temple and the ear, then blew it off. It stuck in streaks but with no definite pattern. Stanley shook his head. f'Too clever, he said. Even erased his finger prints. See that slight bluish spot there, just a little to one side of the temple? The scoundrel, whoever he was, probably waited and watched Dave for some time, hoping to see if he could find where Dave kept the formula. Then, when he was discovered, he jumped on him and pressed these two arteries, one on each side of the head. It shuts off the blood supply to the brain, causing instant unconsciousness and then death. Have you notified the coroner? No-o-o, slowly responded Mal. I thought I had better wait for you. Well, send for him now and ask him to try to keep the affair as quiet as he can. I am going to town right away. Stanley knew it was no use to hunt for the formula, because when Dave wanted to hide anything it took more than brains to find it. And besides, he had absolutely nothing to work on. Two days later, in the morning, the telephone again brought startling news. Someone had visited the laboratory during the previous night and had apparently started to wreck the sink. One of the night-shift men in passing had entered, engaged in a fight with the intruder, and got knocked Out, th tstanley 'Ullgought for a .moment and then smiled grimly. He rang up a firm a were ma ers of scientific instruments, placed an Order and then drove down to the 1ab0f3t01'Y, Where he spent the rest of the afternoon. That night, under cover of darkness, and with Mal's help he strung a bunch of Wires '50 31 Shafflk SQIIIG eight hundred feet distant, burying them for the most part about three inehes in the gF011I1d. The next day, on a table in the shack, he put 13 ' - . PP e T range mlxtufe Of TCMYS, batteries and electric bulbs.

THE POTTER SHIELD almost simultaneously. He reached forward and quickly threw two switches, then hurried out and blew a whistle. - Immediately eight dark forms rose apparently out of the ground and sur- rounded the building. There was a commotion inside the laboratory and a man dropped on all fours like a cat from one of the windows, only to be immediately arrested by three of the guardsmen. 1 Five minutes later, Stanley Fording again came into existence and the mystery looked as if it were about to be solved. The murder of poor Dave puzzled me a great deal, he began, especially in view of the fact that none ofthe apparatus had been touched. I couldn't imagine a motive for the murder when there was no sign of a search. It might have been a personal grudge, but the event of two nights later clinched matters. The villain had been scared off by Mal before he had had time for a hunt, consequently when he learned the place was unguarded he returned. There could be only one explanation for his immediately beginning to wreck the sink-that he knew the formula was concealed there. Also, the fact that one of the night-shift men caught him made me suspect that he was right here in the plant. At any rate, I ordered four geo- phones and the necessary relays and wire. Mal and I placed these around the laboratories so that the 'chem' room was just about inthe center. Geophones have been used throughout almost the entire war to detect sapping operations of the enemy. They are so sensitive that they will detect the footsteps of a. person who is walking fifty or seventy-five feet away-and with the right kind of ground even further. They are a very modified form of microphone or ordinary telephone transmitter. When the rascal got in the 'chem' room the 'goe's' naturally indicated it by blinking all together. To guard against the possibility of the man's escaping without leaving any evidence, I drilled a hole in the wall and put in a camera with a 'fish-eye' lens. The idea is as old as the ages but seldom heard of. It is merely a lens that has a refracting power of about a hundred and seventy-four degrees. In other words, the whole room was taken in without the use of a panoramic camera. The flash-light powder was set off by a switch in that shack. At this point Mal came back. We've got him safe and tidy in the county jail, he reported. It was Remy Johnson, head of the vat department. I-Ie confessed, and it seems that he was just working for his own interests. But he hasn't the formula, he says-couldn't find it. No, I know that, responded Fording dryly. I got that myself the day I put in the geophones. It was concealed in one of the boards the fellow took up that night. In the meantime I've been staying here in Downston waiting for the climax. I CEDRIC EDWARD HESTHAL, '20, Forty-one THE POTTER SHIELD The Silver Cup Mr. George Sabine Potter was in his comfortable Office l d t f School building. The office. was a remarkable one. . It hacill been IED2lf6i1I1Zb51E1dOYl1ZI3, carefully in Mr. Potter's mind before the old bulidmg ha even e . h d t . and as a result it contained a number of conveniences for .the bbuibil Gad H1215 Eg' By far the most unusual of these was a little ticker standing Y 9 S1 9 V0 9 desk, and labeled School News.

Also anyone might communicate with Mr. Potter through the Same tlckef- Having examined the most interesting feature of the office, let us pass on to its owner. Mr. Potter was at peace with the world for two reasons: first, the parents of his pupils had all paid their bills, and, second, he was asleep 1n his big chair. . i , t This happy condition of affairs did not last long, for the little ticker Jumped, so did Mr. Potter. In a moment the following news came out: 12:30 P. M. THE CLASS CUP WHICH WAS WON BY THE CLASS OF NINETEEN-TWENTY, HAS BEEN STOLEN FROM ITS PLACE IN THE MAIN ROOM. DETAILS UNKNOWN. DORIS MCLOUGHLIN. in the new Potter Mr. Potter rushed out of his office, bounded up the stairs, and in another minute was standing in front of the glass case in which the cup had been kept. It had disappeared lv The glass cabinet was still locked, but the pane in front had been smashed, and the fragments were scattered over the floor. All the other cups were in their usual places. Hal said Mr. Potter, who had just been reading a detective story, this is a recent crime, for no one would smash that glass in front of a whole study hall- no, it must have been done during the lunch hour. Besides, what criminal would take one cup and leave so many? There must be some reason for this. Perhaps it is some enemy of the class of 1920. The school must not know of this. They must be kept out of this room. Let me see-I must put a sign on the door. I will say, 'The Chemistry class is operating below you.' By the way, someone is in that l2lb01'al301'Y-I can smell something now,-and no one has any business there at this hour. I must see about this. He prepared to leave the room. First he hid the rest of his cups in the waste- paper basket, covering tkiem with crumpled yellow paper. Then he threw the glass out of the window, so that any watcher would believe that he was a playful student.

Now I wonder if the culprit is in there doctoring my cup. He got up from the platform, re-entered the main room, and phoned the Police Department for some men. While awaiting their arrival he mounted guard over the laboratory door. In a very short time the expected squad had joined him and he opened the door. Inside the fatal room were a dozen boys, all bending over the famous cup. On examining his treasure, Mr. Potter found that every 1920 engraved on it had been changed to a 1919. The policemen took charge of the first class, and removed them from the building. A few moments later, Mr. George Sabine Potter was sitting down in the big chair in his comfortable office again. Suddenly everything in the room seemed to change. The news-ticker with its buttons vanished, and, looking around, Mr. Potter saw that he was in the old oflice at 1827 Pacific Avenue. I thought something like this would happen, said he, my imagination is too vivid. Still, knowing that, I should not have read that wonderful story in the last SHIELD, called 'The Silver Cup'. R. L.

I Original Narrative ,M.Ll- THE STILL ALARM V, Once there was a very brave fireman whose name was Jack Manly. He drove the hose-wagon. The horses' names were Ted and Dick. Jack- loved the two horses. A The alarm sounded. There's a fire some place. Hurry up, yelled Jack. They were off at full speed. ' The fire was at a factory, a large one, too. The flames were terrific. There were a few wagons there before Jack's. They were holding a big blanket out for the people to jump into. There was an old man in the factory who was afraid to jump. Jack ran up the stairs to get the old man. Just as he got up the stairs, they Went down. Jack made the old man jump from the window onto the blanket below 3 then Jack jumped. V A young girl called Jack over to heriand said, You were very brave to get the old man out of the factory. My father owns that factory. Jack at once fell in love with the young girl, and to tell the truth, she fell in love with Jack. J ack went to see her very often. One night while Jack was on guard, a man came in and asked Jack to tell him all about the fire alarm. Jack told him if anybody cut two certain wires they wouldn't know when a fire was on. Jack had to go away a moment to do something. The man cut the wires while Jack was gone. The girl Jack liked was home alone. The man that cut the wires ,set fire to the girl's house. When she saw the flames, she telephoned to the fire-house that Jack was in and to some other fire-houses. u Jack beat all the others to the fire. He jumped into tho hguge and took tho girl out of the house at the risk of his life. Then they were married and lived happily ever after.

Richard turns to him, withering scorn in his voice, Don't you know Miss Adams is not married yet? IN THE FRONT LINE TRENOHES Five figures emerged from a dugout and made black outlines in the darkness. They crept out across No-Man's-Land. Each was carrying two oblong things called hand grenades. They crept out towards the German trenches and every once in a while they had to duck to escape being seen in the light of the skyrockets. When they were about ten yards from the Germans they lay down and waited. Each man could understand German. Translated, the ,Germans said: Hey, Bill, that scheme the Old Man worked up is going to be good. Yes, when we sneak over to those 'Yankee Pigs' ' trenches, they'll get the surprise of their lives. A Tom, the corporal of the squad, made his muscles stiffen at the words Yankee Pigs. , - When are we going to sneak? This morning? '4Yes, was the answer. . That was all that was needed. The men crept back and woke up their captain. They're going to attack this morning, said J ack. Then wake up the men. Wei ll beat 'em to it. The five figures disappeared in different directions. In a few 'minutes all the men were crowded in dugouts, all with guns. Who will volunteer to go and see when they're going to attack? Jack stepped forward. I will, he said. Jack crept out and just as he was upon the Germans a volley of skyrockets shot up and he yelled at the top of his voice, . Here they come! . And they did come. . He ducked into a shell hole. Just then a shell from a German gun killed him. But the Americans won. R- W- B- Forty-seven THE POTTER SHIELD MAKING FRIENDS WITH A SQUIRREL ' O , .1 , 1 Wqs in the country I saw a little squirrel. He was very cute. I me xx men ame rett close to me. hid in the grass for an hour. He was very mme- He C p y The next time he came I had a lot of acorns for him. He ate them out Of my hand Then when I went home he was in back of me. He followed me into a cage- lilie ql001' of the cage shut and the squirrel and I were in the cage. I got Out and Went to see my mother to tell her about him. But when I came back he was not Ehere. After a little while I found a little hole In the ground. I said to myse , It is the hole that he went through. Just then, on the other side' of the fence, the ground was moving. I got a little bit scared, but out popped a little head. It was the mother to have the gardner make a squirrel-cage. She said, If the gardner has time you may have him make you a cage. The next week we were working on the cage. We bought some wire netting for the sides and an Iron plate for the floor. It was a wonderful cage when it was finished. We put the squirrel in there and he lived for three years. Then he died. All the people on the place cried. We made a little coffin for him. We shall never forget the squirrel. , C- R- MCC- KEEPING RABBITS - I am making a trap to catch rabbits. Yesterday I caught three little rabbits. I made a little cage for them. Their names are Bill, Mike and Pussy. When I caught them I was behind a bush. I heard a little noise and I turned around and there were two little rabbits in my trap. When I had put the two in the house I hid behind the same bush. I heard another noise and there was another little rabbit in my trap. But when I went to get him I saw a tramp coming down the road. He turned around to see if anybody was coming. Then he began to chase me and I didn't get my rabbit. When he turned around I sawehe had 392 on his back. So I went down to the guard house and told them that there was a prisoner in the trees. They sent a lotof soldiers up and caught him. I went back to my little rabbit and took him home with the others. I I still have them in my back yard. My father said I could keep them until they grew up. Today I am going to catch some more. I think I shall sell some of them- J. o. D. MY TRIP TO THE' YOSEMITE ti .

All they have to do to perfect the camouflage is to get a crush on the Seniors. The watchword of the times- Have you a little bomb in your home? Our school orchestra has Miss Burke's school organization beaten by two ukuleles and a mouth-organ. Strike up a bit o' melody, boys! From the violent vocal desecrations prevalent in the study hall lately, we wonder whether friend flu is staging a return engagement, or spring poetry is making itself heard.

T' ' .H N N YI THE POTTER SHIELD Baseball g The 1919 baseball season has been a great success. This is the first time the school has taken up baseball with such a spirit. In spite of being handicapped by the loss of Wheeler, Mailliard, Hitchcock, McNear, Folger and Abbott, the 1919 baseball team is about the best the school has ever turned out. This is due to Mr. Humphries, our coach, who has shown us that he is behind us at all times With his everlasting pep. Dido has Worked hard on the team from the very start and a great deal of credit is due him. The season opened about the latter part of February and from the start a big squad has turned out faithfully. Somers was shifted over to third to fill the gap left by Mailliard, and Tommy Newbauer was picked to play Bur's,' old position. With Esberg on first and Frankie Fuller on short the infield certainly has shown up strong. The trio composed of Doolittle, Sutton and Harrell presented the best hitting outfield this school has ever seen. All three are almost sure fly chasers and all three have good husky arms. With Lermen playing his third year onthe first team, and with Griffin, the pitching staff looks just as strong as ever. Charlie deserves a lot of credit. He has been out faithfully' every single day, and surely deserves every victory he earns. And With Summers, Who starred behind the bat on last year's team,'We have presented one of the best baseball aggregations that ever represented the Blue and White. At the time the SHIELD goes to press, Jack Sutton is the leading hitter and Frankie Fuller the'leading run getter. The first team is represented as follows: Harrell ....... Right Field Esberg ......

Utility The season was opened formally on March 5th, when we played the University High School of Berkeley. This being our first game, the poor showing of the team on the Whole can probably be accounted for. The fielding was very erratic on both sides. In spite of it all We copped off the game in the end by a score of 13 to 8. The main feature of the game was the double squeeze play, which worked out beautifully. We had to stop the game at the end of the sixth inning on account of the oncoming darkness. Lermen and Summers were our battery throughout the game, while our opponents used a variety of pitchers. . In the fourth inning, Summers tried to take off the leg of the pitcher with a red-hot drive Which bounced off his ankle. Esberg's timely bunting deserves special mention. Sixty-one EEPEC- li 2 Q E5 ,--A ... y, TQ ,, I r f Y I 4 , ' THE POTTER SHIELD u SAN MATEO 9. POTTER 1 This game was played down in San Mateo on their home grounds. We were outclassed from start to finish, both in fielding and in batting. Griffin started for us but was supported very poorly, and Lermen was sent to the rescue in the third inning. The game was void of thrills, as nothing exciting happened on either side. One incident that deserves mentioning happened in the last of the sixth. With a man on third and on second, Lermen was hit for a single to left field. The man on third scored and the man on second was only stopped by a beautiful peg from Doo- little, which was caught on the pick-up by Summers, just in time to throw the fellow out. We almost started things humming in the last inning when Fuller, D., batting for Somers, singled to left field. Then to pepper things up .Sutton followed by slamming safely to center field, while Fuller was held at second. Then Newbauer line-drived to the pitcher, who didn't have time to double anybody up. Summers was then walked, filling the bases with only one out. 'Lermen struck out, and Harrell was walked, forcing in a run. Fuller, F., hit a pop fly in back of third, ending the game. LOWELL 11. POTTER 6 This was our third game of the season and resulted in our defeat. The game was played on our grounds on Friday, the 21st of March. Again we got off to a bad start, seven runs being chalked up against us in the first two innings, and nine out of the eleven runs made by our opponents were scored after two were out. In the fifth inning three runs were made on a freak home run, the ball being lost in the grass in center field. A double play made by Fuller assisted by Esberg was the feature fielding stunt of the day. On the whole, fielding by the infielders on both sides, was very erratic, chiefly due to the condition of the infield. Sutton and Ralston of Lowell were the heavy hitters of the day, each of them getting three safe singles. Fuller and Esberg each grabbed two apiece. The bat- teries were: Lowell-Ralston and Ratner, Potter-Lermen, Griffin and Summers. LIOK-WILMERDING 3. POTTER 0 This defeat was taken very much to heart by the team, as we should right- fully have copped the game. On the whole, it was a good fast ball game. We were held down to two hits, while Lermen held our opponents down to four hits, of which two were made in the first inning. The game was played at the Jackson Play- grounds, on a decidedly good field. We should have scored in the second inning, when Doolittle opened up with a two-bagger between left and center field. Somers was walked, and they both advanced a base on Fulton's out. The signal was then given for the squeeze play, and Newbauer laid down a bunt to the pitcher, but Doolittle was too slow in getting started and was called out at the plate, spoiling the play. . . Besides Doolittle's hit, Sutton cracked out a clean single, making our total of two hits.

Tlielgame was a arce ash. e start. The first team hit about when they pleased, but their fielding was any mg but what it should have been. At the end of the third inning Dido started taking the regulars out and putting the scrubs in their places, and in the sixth inning the whole scrub team was in the field. William Warren took a. brace in the last two innings and threatened to beat up the scrubs, but they were finally squelched. TAMALPAIS UNION HIGH 1. POTTER 4. On April 7th we met our old rivals of Tamalpais Union High down on our field. After a week's vacation we proceeded to jump right in and cop off the game from the start. At no time did Tamalpais look dangerous. Lermen allowed but one hit in the whole nine frames and that came in the third inning. The feature of the game was the triple play pulled off in the third inning. With a man on first and second, the batter tried to bunt and popped up a little fly instead, which was caught by Summers, who shot it to Esberg, who quickly threw to Newbauer,com- pleting the play. Hits were made by Sutton CZD, Newbauer CQD, Doolittle and Lermen ' COMMERCE 3. POTTER 15. On Thursday, April 10th, we met Commerce at Southside Park. This game resulted in more of a slaughter than anything else. In the second inning we put three runs across and then came back strong in the third by pilling up six more, and then to make the score look a little more attractive we put two more across in the fourth and four more in the fifth. The team had a great time fattening their batting averages, every man getting at least one hit. Sutton was the heavy hitter of the day, smashing out a triple and a homer. Somers also poled out a pretty homer. Griffin deserves due credit for his pitching, holding down our opponents to six well-scattered hits, and striking out twelve in the seven frames. Fuller's work at short and Newbauer's at second is surely worthy of mention. The final score was: R H E Potter ....... , 15 10 2 Commerce ....... , 3 6 4 Batteries: Potter-Criflin and Summers.

At the end of the third inning the score was still 0 to 0. In the fourth Sacred Heart put across a run, but we came right back in our half of the inning and tied the score. The fifth still saw the score 1 to 1 but in our 7 half of the sixth we pulled off the old reliable squeeze play, ending up the inning with three runs to the good. From this time on Lermen allowed but one hit and that came in the ninth inning after two were gone, while his team-mates ,were steadily making sure of the game by making it one more to the good in the seventh and three more in the eighth. 7 diummefsi HS usual, played in his old steady form and certainly deserves due ere 1 .

'ri-IE POTTER SHIELD HITCHCOCK MILITARY ACADEMY 8. POTTER 7. On Wednesday, April 23rd, the team journeyed to San Rafael, to take on Hitch- cock Military Academy. It was an ideal day for baseball, except for occasional gusts of wind that raised the dust on the field, making it very disagreeable for the time being. W e got off at a great start, scoring three runs in the first inning, but Hitchcock came right back in their half of the inning and tied up the score. We put another run across in the third when Somers tripled to deep right and scored on the overthrow to third. Then two more in the fifth, on the squeeze play, and one more in the sixth. And now comes the tale. With the long end of a 7 to 4 score in our favor, we scrambled out on the diamond for the last of the seventh. Now, whether Lermen was rattled by the school support given these bonnie soldier boys or whether there was just a plain jinx on the seventh, we'll never know. At any rate, after holding these boys down to three hits in the preceding six frames, he surely did hit the sky in that unlucky seventh, and we came in one run to the bad. In the eighth inning Lermen settled down again but it was too late. Vettesen was invincible from the seventh inning on. ' Fuller deserves great credit for the way he handled his numerous chances at short, without a single boot. His throwing to first could hardly have been better. Sutton also starred on the field: ' The final score was: F R H E Potter . , 7 6 2 Hitchcock ...... , 8 5 4 Batteries: Potter-Lermen and Summers. Hitchcock-Vettesen and Kervin. VOCATIONAL HIGH 2. POTTER 13. X' On April 25th we met Vocational High of Oakland on our home grounds. From the very start the game was a slaughter, our team hitting just about when they pleased. Vocational got off to a great start, scoring two runs on two hits in the opening frame. But we came back so strong in our half of the inning that we took all the pep out of them. At the end of the first inning the score Stgod 3 to 2 in our favor. From that time on our opponents never got near the plate while We Scored 7 more runs, making the final score 13 to 2. 2 ' Harrell, Esberg and Doolittle each got two hits out of four trips to the plate while Tommy Newbauer cracked out two safe ones out of two times up , The final score was: vocmonai High of Oakland , , , , 15 Ig E Potter ..., , j j ' ' - - . . 13 11 1 Batteries: V ocational-Ruedy, J acopetti and Kokaries . 4 Potter-Grifhin, Howard and Summers. l Sixty-six 1 s - Ler!l1f'n' .Q I t-1 9' bbw' , thi-Tmagn i wnffoued S - thc ft Perlliilr WND' t To Jimi lwvemenfi has bf' in mi mfwffff W' an limi exccllf'U'- W por' - 1: Glover WUI' 8 pmui. 11 affgf the A at W' 'f'?mfQ didU11lYefSity High U!

Though still showing a tendency to wildness, he has controlled this to a great extent, and would probably improve still more in another season. Perhaps the fact that he has worked hard this year accounts for the im- provement. To date Jack has won three and lost three of his starts, and in only two games has he been really hit hard-those against Lowell and Hitchcock- and in the latter game the blow-up lasted only one inning. In the Lick game his work was excellent, but the team absolutely refused to hit behind him, and pitcher Glover won a pretty pitcher's battle. Jack held the strong San Mateo team in check after the game was already in tne fire, and had the hitters from Tamalpais High School throwing away their bats. Sacred Heart also proved easy meat, as did University High of Oakland, in spite of wildness in the early stages of the game. But don't ask Jack about his batting average! Fat Griffin does not look like Walter Johnson or Alexander, but the corpulent right hander must have something besides a glove to get away with three out of four. Fat has a curve ball that makes even the best of them miss at times, excellent control and is not erratic or easily rattled. San Mateo drove him to cover in the first game, but aside from that, very few of them have been taking many liberties with his delivery. He whiffed fifteen in the Commerce game and allowed only three hits-his best performance. Fat has worked steadily and faithfully and deserves lots of credit g he has almost never missed practice, and has had that most dis- appointing task of a pitcher-warming up on the side lines all through many a game. Next Year's Prospects Prospects for a good team next year are excellent. Only four veterans are leaving the team this year-pitchers Lermen and Griffin, catcher Summers, and outfielder Sutton. The biggest problems to be met next year are the development of a steady pitcher, and an outfielder and first baseman who can hit. The hole in the catching staff will no doubt be filled satisfactorily by Esberg, who- has shown great improvement in throwing form in one or two practice exhibitions this year. If Stevenson acquires a little more weight and strength, so that he can peg more swiftly, he will also be available, as he holds up his pitchers well and digs low ones out of the dirt, saving many wild pitches. Howard needs experience and control, he has not much of a curve and relies too much on his own efforts and not enough on his fielders' support. His speed is his main asset, but he is not always able to control it. S. Wright is said to have a good curve ball, and may develop into a useful box artist. If Esberg goes behind the bat, Beaver or Drown will probably play first, the odds favoring Whichever one can hit hardest. Beaver has had some experience with the scrub this year, but has not set the world afire with his slugging. The remainder of the infield will hold over from this year's million-dollar com- bination, with the ever dependable Dope Fuller available as all-round handy man. In the outfield a slugger is needed to take the place of Sutton, and there is sure to be plenty of competition to bring out the best candidate. Gibbons is per- haps the best hitter in sight, although he always hits to the same spot-right field. , however. Whitaker has been busting the fences He is handicapped by a dead arm in third-team games and may shine in faster company another season. Manager Svkvty-seven THE POTTER SHIELD Hale is also threatening to do a come-back, and if he can hit the size of his hat l19 will he useful, as his speed and Harrell's would give one of the fastest outfields we have ever had. Doolittle is no slow man, either. After this yearis experience in playing together, the work of the infield ought to be improved another season, although their work has been first-class this year. The team also ought to hit better another year, and with plenty of the old life and pepper in evidence and a good big squad whooping things up daily, in 1920 the school should see another team that will cause no little worry to S. F. A. L. teams, and walk off with the big end of the score in more than one contest. The Juniors in Baseball The Juniors this year have a team that is perhaps the lightest in the history of the school, most of the members of last year's team having graduated to the big team. However, the Juniors have been very successful in winning games. The team-work in the earlier games was very ragged, and that brought about a defeat at the hands of the St. Brigid's crowd. For pitchers we have Grace and S. Wright. Wright has fared much better in games because he has more on the pill. That little out-curve of his keeps the other side from making many runs. Grace, however, is there in all the games, for his speed on the paths always means two or three runs. At first base there is Drown, who is progressing very nicelyQ He is rapidly developing a fine reach in every direction and seldom does he miss spearing them with that glove of Herbertis. Richard Gump, the second baseman, is what might be termed the wonder of the team, because he is so small, the bludgeon he swings being nearly as big as he. In a game played in Oakland he got in the way of a line drive. Although it took him off his feet, he held on to the ball. Richard plays a fine, steady brand of baseball and uses his gray matter in a game. When one Stevenson is mentioned, the question comes up as to which one is meant. Arthur, the one who has no freckle on his nose, holds down short-stop. This is Arthur's first year at the position, but he is handling it in great style. He covers a lot of territory and nearly always gets 'em, although his pegging to first is a little off color sometimes. He always makes himself felt with his bat. At the hot corner there is stationed the only south-paw in the crowd. Jack Sutro, although his wing is not very strong, plays a hard game and gives his best in every game. Whitaker, Grace, and Bigelow defend the garden works. Stanley always hangs on to the pill when it comes his way. Because of his regularity in stinging the ball litanley occupies the position of clean-up mang.he sure does soak that applefi ge ow isn t,exact y built for speed, .but he is reliable. His ability in getting down to first doesn t compare favorably with that of Max Carey or Ty Cobb The hardest position of all to hold down is that of catcher-and the Juniors are fortunate in having such a good fellow for that place as Henry Stevenson, Helngy hollds up the pitcher fine, his throwing to the bases is good- in fast hg is mg on t Q jo air the time.

At the outset of the season it was hoped that the school could put a worthy first team in the field, but before the season had advanced a week, three of the most promising candidates, Newbauer, B. Somers, and F. Fuller were carried away to the pest house. Accordingly, the idea of a school team was abandoned, and the game was played in the interval between football and baseball seasons simply for the fun of the game itself and the development of players for another and luckier season. A Two battalions were formed and a schedule arranged whereby each team played twice through its own battalion, and once through the other battalion, thus each team played ten games. At the conclusion of the regular schedule, the battalion champions met in the World's Series, the prize for the winners of which was a party at the Crpheum. Runners-up and the light-weight champions in each battalion were awarded some of Blum's best. Although the schedule was played in full, the ravages of the flu were again apparent 5 it wrecked the prospects of some teams, and kept others from appearing full strength. The championship of the first battalion was won by Company D, which Won nine and lost only one game. This team played well together, refused to be dis- couraged by the loss of their captain, Zell, and possessed one of the star horseshoe basket-throwers in the league in the person of their second captain, Knight. Browne showed steady improvement in his work at guard, and A. Stevenson and Doolittle were good for many baskets. Second place was won by Company A. After three straight defeats, under the personal inspiration of Mr. Potter, who elected himself mascot, the team spurted and won seven straight, going through all opposition like a prairie ire. At the time the season closed, there is little doubt that this team was the strongest in the school. The team made up for weakness in the guard positions by the very fast work of Summers, Somers and H. Stevenson, the latter being especially dangerous from the middle of the floor. Q Company C had a hard time with the flu, both Hale and Bruce Dohrmann being out of the game at critical times, but even so, the team broke even on the season, and was never easy picking. In W. VVright they had one of the best guards of the league, and Sutton was also excellent at intercepting passes. The forwards were not dis- tinguished for accurate shooting. Company B was another victim of the flu. Harrell performed the most consistently, and Jackson and Griffin were always willing and tried hard. J. Allen, too, showed promise. This team won four and lost six games. Company F won the second battalion championship. The team was fortunate in going through the season with practically the same line-up every day, this improved their team-work considerably. The captain, D. Fuller, probably shot more baskets than any other player in the league, and the work of Gibbons made the defense strong. On the whole, this team's success is due to excellent team-work rather than any star playing. Anyone on the team was liable to score, and the smaller fellows were always getting in the way and seriously inconveniencing larger opposition. Company H broke even on the season. This team was more distinguished for hard playing and aggressiveness than for clever basketball. When the whole team was together Cwhich was seldoml they usually won. Bigelow played Well at guard, and Esberg, aided at times by the well-known horseshoe, i ' Sixty-wine 4 I i l Q !

Company E, with probably the weakest personne in e eague, and further weakened by the absence of Hirschman and Whitalier, did manage to t er bad or win two games. The trouble with the team was that no one on 1 was v y ver f good. Company G dragged along at the tail end all season, and has the proud 5 . record of no victories and ten defeats. Acting Captain Sutro deserves credit for trying hard in the face of very discouraging circumstances, and never giving up hope of winning. He shot most of the baskets and practically did whatever good playing was done by the team, although Captain Newbauer managed to show a flash of form in the last few minutes of the closing games. The team would have done much better if its larger members had shown the same spirit as the smaller ones. The free-for-all games, at the conclusion of each day's schedule, were attended by a little company of the faithful and afforded good practice and sport. It was gratifying to see so many of the smaller fellows sticking around, for it is their efforts that will make or mar future teams, and they owe it to the school to keep up in interest. Right now it is to be hoped that the school can look back on the season of 1919 with some satisfaction, and can hope' for better things for 1920. Basketball deserves a respectable position in the school calendar, and the boys have it in their power to place it there. Basketball-World's Series After the regular season was completed, the champions of each battalion met in the World's Series Contest, the pennant being represented by a party at the Orpheum. Company D and Company F were the contestants, as predicted by some of the wise experts at the start of the season, and of these experts, those who had picked Company D to win the championship were gratified, as the team won the title in two straight games. Both games were closely contested and hard-fought all the way. After the first contest, which Company D won by the narrow margin of 24-19, Captain Fuller predicted victory for his team, basing his alibi for the defeat on the fact that Gibbons was handicapped by. injuries, and that Gump participated in only part of the contest. The second game, however, also went to Company D, this time by a score of 23-15, and in an exclusive interview with a SHIELD representative, Captain Fuller declared, The best team won. Captain Knight refused to comment on the play of the team, except to say that the players had trained conscientiously and were looking forward to breaking training. A few members of beaten combinations were magnanimously included in the party at the Orpheum. lnterclass Games The season was rounded out by a few interclass games that were used to fill breaks m the sports schedule when rainy weather interfered with drill or early base- ball practice. In this way the first class defeated the second, the second defeated the third, the fifth defeated the fourth and sixth, and the Sixth Won from the seventh.

Then the flu put several of the older fellows on the sick list, so it was difficult to get the team organized. Before the season ended we played two outside games, one with University, the other with Hitchcock Military Academy. Anyone who had the opportunity of witnessing the game with University will admit it was some game. The game was rough, hotly contested, and at all times highly interesting. The best part of it all was that we defeated our rivals to the tune of 29 to 23. The second game resulted in a defeat for us, but no disgrace. The members of our team were unaccustomed to such a large court as the Hitchcock players had. Consequently we were at sea during the first half, as the score 21 to 5 indicated. However, we came back strong in the second half, the score at the call of time being 34 to 23. The playing shown by our team was fine in both games. If we had scheduled more outside games we would have been able to take care of our opponents in good fashion. The team work, because of lack of practice, was a little ragged at times, but the individual playing was good. The best exhibitions of guarding were those of Sutton and Hale, Summers, Somers. Frank and Dana and Tommy all did good work.
