20 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EXCHANGE NOTES The Exchange Editor's small brother sat op- posite her at the table. His chin was supported by his fists, and he was reading industriously. In the centre of the table was a plate of apples, the contents of which was being rapidly depleted by the onslaughts of the small brother. Suddenly be looked up with a sigh. “Gee! but ‘The Conqueri r' in the Artisan was a corking story. he said. Wish it had turned out right, though. and his dolorous expression was some- what marred by the fact that his mouth was full. Was it good? but what do you think of the Jabbcrwock? asked the Exchange Editor. “Oil. it’s a good paper, but I think an Exchange column makes a paper a lot more interesting, and Jabbcrwock hasn’t any. answered the small critic, selecting with care another apple. “1 should think the Item would consider its editorials more important than its School Notes, and arrange its order differently. remarked the Exchange Editor, after a pause. The ()racle doesn’t have any stories a fellow can enjoy. suddenly announced the small brother. “They’re all very learned articles and themes. Who’s going to read those!’’ he demanded, dis- gustedly. The Dean Megaphone is a good paper ’ said the Exchange Editor. Its cuts are very appro- priate. What do you think of the Dome, Bud? Bud munched reflectively. No Exchange col- umn. he said briefly. But that ‘Treasure and Chance’ is some story ’ 'Fhe Magnet is a well-arranged little paper, announced the Exchange Editor. The small brother sat up with a jerk. ‘‘Well, here’s what T call a good, all-around paper.” he exclaimed. “The Triangle, and edited by girls. too. Gee! Girls must be good for something after all. The Index is what one might call short and sweet. remarked the Exchange Editor. “But that hasn't any Exchange column, either. The Kimball Union is a well-edited paper. And here’s the Brocktonia. That is a paper after my own heart. Well. I guess that’s all. Have another ap- ple and thanks for your valuable assistance.” Don’t mention it. answered the small brother modestly. But honest! he murmured half to himself, That Triangle is one little paper.” ■ THE TOWN OF NOGOOD. My friend, have you ever heard of the town of No- good. On the banks of the river Slow. Where blows the Waitawhile flower fair. Where the Sometime or other scents .the air. And the soft Goeasvs grow? It lies in the Valley of Whatstheuse. In the province of Lcterslide. That tired feeling is native there, It’s the home of the reckless I don’t care. Where the Giveitups abide. —Ex. a Besides the Exchanges mentioned above we have received the following:lligh School Gleaner, Pawtucket. R. 1.: l.asell Leaves, Auburndalc. Mass.; The Grotonian.

22 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR W ithout a doubt i; is the earnest desire of every individual connected with the school, that vc ex- perience a very successful year in athletics. While the outlook is not as shining as it has been in cer- tain other years, nevertheless it is very promising and we’re out to win. We tender our best wishes and brightest hopes to Captain Anderson and the football squad for a winning team. Let us hope that first game with W ellesley will prove the truth of the adage: A bad beginning makes a good ending. Remember, you “Somerville red bloods who back the team, when you want a touchdown, CHEER, and CHEER LOUD, and your chances of getting one will be much better. They used to cheer in the “good old days which are often re- called with pleasant memories, they made the touchdowns, too. touchdowns that meant cham- pionships. Are you going to help the team win that championship? Well. then. CHEER. The shifting of Captain Anderson from the back- field to his old position at guard seems to have been one of the immediate outcomes of the game with Wellesley. His added strength and fight has shown out very impressively in the line and has given it an entirely new aspect. Both Jim Robert- son and Wiley will also prove hard men to pass in those deciding games provided they are going at their best. It is evident that if the team’s line turns out to be a strong one. it would be a valuable asset in producing a favorable close of the season, for with a powerful bulwark of defence, such a man as Jim Robertson to do the kicking, and a fast open style of play on the offence, the chances to win would be greatly improved. This appears to be the ] licv oi Coach Mahoney and by all means is the best. Is everybody on edge for those Suburban league games? They’ll be here before you know it. Judging from the showing made by Rindgc against Tufts' second team early in the season, it looks as though that Rindge-Somerville game on Thanksgiving Day will be one grand struggle. Here’s hoping that Jim Robertson boots them between the uprights hot and heavy this fall. Fa- gin. of Waltham, seems to be the only shining star in the drop-kicking department that is left among the school bovs. Our Jim has it in him if he will only round into form. The value of a drop-kicker at critical stages in a game is inesti- mable. How many times have teams gotten within twenty-five or thirty yards of the opponent’s goal line, and sometimes even nearer, only to find that its punch has been repulsed. Here is the time that the quarterback, when he secs his op- portunity wavering, is at a sore loss without a man to drop the ball over the crossbar. Countless games have been won or lost, as it were, by the services of. or the lack of a skillful drop-kicker. Take for instance the game with Medford last year, which was won by Robertson’s wonderful feat, also the Dartmouth-Harvard game of last year was won by a drop from the field, and so. too, the Xavy defeated the Army two years ago, and Waltham beat Somerville last year bv one point with that field goal. Harvard had four excel- lent opportunities to win its game with Yale in It)11, but failed for want of a man to do the deed. W hat made Bricklev, of Harvard, the talk of the country last season? The answer is his ability to drop-kick. Such conditions arc prevalent in every game and should be met with. Drop-kick- ing is one of the greatest scientific branches of the game of football and one of the great sources from which the game takes life,' it makes a contest fascinating. Well, let us hope that our own Jim
