Friends School is having a hockey squad this year for the first time and, while the sport will not develop to the point of interscholastic competition for some time, probably, according to Virginia Brown, coach, efforts are be- ing made to arrange for several prac- tice games with local scholastic elev- ens, in order to accustom the stick- wielders to competitive play. Negotiations are now under way for 4 game with one of the Marjorie Web- ster squads and, according to informa- tion received from the Webster School, such a game probably will be arranged in the near future. It will not count as a scheduled contest, how- ever . Hockey practice at Webster begins tomorrow afternoon on the Ellipse field, when the junior and senior squads will report in full. Juniors will practice the first hour—trom 2:45 until 3:45, and the seniors will follow with their work-out. This schedule will be continued through- out the season. Class games will precede the in- terscholastic schedule. A serles of Junior-senior tilts will be staged to decide the championship squad of the school. Following this the varsity team will be picked, based upon performance in the interclass games. Team captains for the class groups are expected to be chosen next week, according to Miss Webster.

GENERALS POSSESS MANY GREAT BACKS LEXINGTON, Va. November 2.— Following a week of light signal drills and scrimmage Coach Herron has turned his men down the home stretch before the Virginia Cavaliers are met Saturday at Lambeth Field. He has taken care that no more men be added to the already large injured list which he has faced since the Princeton game over three weeks ago. When the Blue and White trot on the gridiron Saturday they will boast one of the greatest array of backs in the South. Leading this stellar group is Capt. Raubor. 1iis work against every team that the Generals have met this year has been outstanding. Playing beside Raubor 18 White, a member of the 1925 Little Generals, who were not scored on all season. White was used last season at full, but has been shifted to quarter and has been playing his new position in fine style. He is one of the hardest tacklers in camp. Another member of the 1925 year- lings now flashing in the sport hall of fame is Whitlock. He has been doing some fine work this vear, and with the veteran Palmer s hoiding down the halves. Coach Herron does not stop with thess four backs. but has Lott, Stearns, Howe, Barclay, Lathan and Tips, all of whom can perform in good style. Each of these has seen plenty of service and before the end of the game Saturday will most likely break into the line-up. RADIATORS, FENDERS ODIER MADE AND REPAIR!

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, November entirely out of the picture at go into the American League 2.—Fred Clarke, who has taken himself Pittsburgh as a base ball figure, can in a managerial position if he wants to, according to the latest information in major league cir¢les. Maybe Boston might suit Clarke. There is great prospect in Boston for the first man who can develop the lead to the gold field. It will take a shrewd combiner of players to turn up pay dirt. Clarke might like to do something in the managerial line after the outcome of the 1926 National League race, in which he is held by some to have been the marplot in the affairs of the Pittsburgh club. Severing his connection with the Pirates means that Clarke may have had an argument with Barney Dreyfus in a manager’s job clsewhere would It would be a queer shift of the base ball panorama that found Stuffy Mc- Innis in Philadelphia, Donie Bush in Pittsburgh and Arthur Fletcher as coach for the Yanks, with Fred Clarke at the head of an American League team. It is not likely that any base ball owner will ever again take the initia- tive that Dreyfuss did when he put Clarke on the bench to assist his play- ers in 1925 and 1926, although Bill McKechnie was the outright manager. Clarke said he was not there to inter- fere with McKechnle, but to give counsel and advice. The players, with the usual tendency of all base hall men, were for the manager against Clarke. , and he may have an idea that success sort of justify himself. This didn’t break out into a serious rash until the 1925 world series, when McKechnie was severely criticized be- cause his team failed to make im- mediate headway against Washington. There was also a little jealousy be- cause McInnis was labeled as the sav- ing angel when he came in at the last minute of the 1925 series to lead the Pirates to victory, as told by Stuffy's nearest friends. When the real outbreak did come at Boston last Summer, Pittsburgh had got to the front in the race and it the team had played a few games better than 50-50 hase hall from that time until the end of the season, no club could have heaten it for the National League nennant. NEW BRITISH TAX REDUCES BETTING AT RACE COURSES By the_Associated Press. ONDON, November —The first effect of a new tax on betting has been to reduce the volume of wagers at race courses. The decrease 4 however, is generally regarded as temporary, due to confusion, The tax, which became operative yesterday, varies from 2 Bookmakers, under license by the government 3V per cent of the stake. to and made responsible for collection of the tax, have adopted various ways of making their charges. Some of them yesterday at the races did not levy anything on wagers of less than £2 each way, while others split the tax with customers on credit bets. Nothing was asked directly of bet- tors by the big comm 1 agents in London, Edinburgh and Glasgow, but place money on “each way wagers were reduced by them from one- quarter to one-fifth of the total odds. Some bookmakers have decided to postpone until the end of the week the turning in to the commissioners of customs and excise the amount of the tax on their week's business. The tax must be paid by the book- maker by the purchase of revenue tickets which he issues when a bet is made, or in weekly returns by agree- ment with the commissioners. Book- makers are not permitted to use both methods concurrently, however. An accurate record must be kept by the * | layers of odds of every bet taken, with data sufficient to identify the bet, in- cluding the number of the revenue tickets. The tickets, which are of varfous colors and are good for one year, come {n books of 50. Bookmakers m obtain an entry certificate, for which there is a charge of about $50. This certificate, how- ever, may not be used as defense by a bookmaker to any charges that may be made against him under the gen eral law dealing with betting. FIGHTS LAST NIGHT.

NEWARK, N. I., November 2.—An unusual galaxy of allaround college starts has been contributed by the South to the 1926 lineup of the New- ark eleven of the American Profes: sfonal Foot Ball League. The team is captained by “Doug’ Wyckoff of Little Rock, Ark., a four- letter man at Georgia Tech. Wyck- off, who is independently wealthy, says he plays “for the love of the game. J. D. Brewster of Georgia Tech, and . H. Maurer of Oglethorpe, are “10- nd men” and two of the fastest backs in professional foot ball. Bob Newton, halfback, was captain of the track team at the University of Florida and holds the Bishop Barry trophy for winning the Southeastern A. A. U. pentathlon championship for three straight years. K. G. King of Kentucky, a base ball and basket ball star, gained distinc- tion by registering three 80-vard runs and three drop-kicks for field goals in one game. A. F. Rives of Vanderbilt, I. A. Wil- liams of Georgia Tech and E. M. Gold- stein of Florida are other southern players on the Newark roster. to delight the quality smoker For years Henrietta Cigars were known to be rolled from the choicest tobaccos produced by the finest plantations. But Henriettas today contain even better tobacco —thanks to the recent reduction in Federal cigartaxes. They’re wrapped in genuine imported Sumatra leaf; they contain Havana from Cuba’s finest crops in recent years. And there are improved shapes which are bigger and contain more to- bacco! If you are a quality smoker, try the new-quality Henriettas and you’ll never accept asubstitute. For Henrietta’s sole appeal is quality— and quality knows no substitute!
