Jordan High comes under the Salt Lake district and will compete against East, West and South high schools of Salt Lake, and Davis and Granite during the season. Jordan district season opens on October 2 with Grantsville at Bingham, while Summit district, also in Region Two, opens with Morgan at Coalville on October 9. The coaches at their meeting rejectd the suggestion of the central executive committee that quarters be limited to 12 minutes and that a player taken out of the game be allowed to re-enter at any subsequent quarter. They decided to abide by the present rules which set the quarter time at 15 minutes and prohibit a player taken out in the first half from re-entering the game until the second half. The complete schedule follows: SALT LAKE DISTRICT October 9-Davis vs. Jordan, East vs. Granite, South vs. West. October HI--South vs. Granite, Davis vs. East.

In the first pre-season game the Beetdiggers, coached by Eddie Kimball, &howed lots of class last Friday when they took the Bingham gridders into camp by the score of 32-0. The aggregation from Jordan, doped as a likely district championship eleven, mixed up a good assortment of plays, but made most of their yardage from off tackle.

On Thursday of last week the Jordan second string men travelled to Grantsville where they absorbed a trouncing to the tune of 12-0. Sandberg, a substitute halfback for Grantsville, carried the first touchdown over early in the second period. Judd, fullback, added the other in the last quarter. Both clubs, though appearing ragged at times, showed promise of power before the season ends. Each coach used every man on the squad. The lineups were: Jordan Grantsville A.

The committee in charge of arrangements is composed of Louis I. Sneddon, who will take charge, and E. D. Mickelsen, W. A. Warr, Gaylen S. Young, W. E. Stanton, P. R. Sorensen Curtis Booth and H. E. Heusser. ' September 16, 1918, marked the beginning of the Meuse-Argonne drive, which increased in intensity until September 29, the peak of the 362nd infantry's offensive which resulted in the capture of Gesnes. This broke the Hindenburg line for the first time. With the approach of winter the problem of unemployment and the suffering of the poor became the subject of discussion at the second meeting of tQ.e season of the Midvale Lions club, held Wednesday evening in Firemen's hall. It was unanimously agreed that the club had a duty in aiding those in distress, but it was pointed out that the giving of money, or the dole system in miniature, was an ill-advised policy to follow. Members of the organization agreed that htere were a number of persons in this locality to whom the furnishing of foodstuffs and clothing would be a decided boon, but it was also agreed that it was more of a duty to aid in finding employment for those who are able-bodied than it was to give charity. A vote was taken and unanimously passed that the club during the coming year, would follow the practice adopted last year, and supply a cer· tains amount of milk to school pupils of needy families who were undernourished or under privileged.

GEN. RICHARD W. YOUNG 145th Field Artillery Unit of Wartime Days to Hold Reunion. The thirteenth annual dinner and reunion of the 145th Field Artillery association will be held Saturday evening, September 26, at 8 p. m., at the Roberts Hotel, Provo. This assoelation is composed of former members of the artillery unit who were in service during the period of the World War. It is hoped that 1931 will see the largest attendance at any reunion since the organization was disbanded at Logan in 1919, according to M. Howard Graham, president of the body. , Mr. Graham is eager to hear from former members of the regiment, asking for reservations at the din- ner. It is essential that all intending to be present notify Mr. Graham in time tor sufficient preparation to be made. His address is postoffice box 234, Provo, utah. Among the "absent guests" will be Richard W. Young, former colonel of the regiment, to whose memory a silent tribute will be part of the proe-ram. Officers for the ensuing year will be elected and the selection of the 1932 reunion city will be made. "Come on, fellows," says Mr. Graham, "and join in the after dinner chat. We are going to fight the war over from start to finish, including the battle of Camp Kearny, San Diego, the Atlantic ocean and France. Remember the mess kits full of 'slum,' the pans of beans, and the vin rouge. Come to Provo and let's get re-acquainted." city positions to be decided at the polls in November. A number of men have signified their intentions of entering the race for positions of mayor, city councilmen and city treasurer. Only one incumbent, Robert Wallace • has declined to run for re-election. From opinions gathered throughout the city the 1931 election promises to be a bitter contest, and considerable speculation is rife as to the outcome at the polls. In addition to the mayor, treasurer and recorder there will be elected one councilman for the fouryear term and three for two-year terms. Bernard Rasmussen is a hold?ver councilman, having been elected m 1929 for four years. Among those mentioned for nomination at the conventions to be held about the middle of October are, on the People's party, L. A. Porter, incumbent, and Dr. J. S. Alley, for mayor; E. E. Eliesen, J. Hollis Ayeltt and Dr. R. W. Quick, all incumbents, and E. C. O'Brien, Mark Cozzens, George Wright, Glen Lindahl, H. C. Hart and E. E. Greenwood, for councilmen; Melvin Lind, incumbent, for city treasurer, and Mrs. Mary B. Stokes, incumbent, for city recorder. On the Progressive party ticket are mentioned the names of J. A. Alcorn, for mayor, Eli Mitchell, C. E. Matthews, C. F. Esperson, Robert Lindsay and Leo Kemp, for city councilmen, and H. P. Miller for treasurer. A meeting of this party will be held September 3 at 8 p. m., in Firemen's hall. In declining to run for office again, Councilman Wallace said, "Although I shall not enter the race for re-election, I am more than pleased to have had the opportunity to $erve the people of Midvale as one of the governing body of the city during the four years I have been in office." Harry Thomas Buys Samas' Cafe Interest The U. S. Cafe in Midvale, operated for the past eleven years under the joint ownership of Harry Thomas and George Samas, is now run under the sole supervision of Mr. Thomas. He bought his partner's interest prior to Mr. Samas' leaving for Oakland, Calif., recently. Under the new program a revised policy of serving customers will be adopted, in that a choice of five merchants• lunches will be available from 11 a. m. to 5 p. m., four at 35 cents and one at 40 cents, and a dinner variety of dishes ranging from 35 to 50 cents. The cafe will continue to remain open until 12:30 a. m. Mr. Thomas has replaced Mr. Samas as head cook, which will allow the employment of more local help, it is said. The staff now consists of Mr. Thomas, Chris Loulias, night cook, Ruby Thompson, Zelia Forgie and Minerva Dokas as waitresses and E . A. Gildner, aiding in the kitchen with the preparation of vegetables and washing dishes. Midvale Scouts Hold Season's First Meet Troop 137, Boy Scouts of America, composed of Midvale Second ward boys under the leadership of Scoutmaster Milan Canning, held their first meeting of the season last Monday. The session took the form of a "peanut bust," and the boys indulged in a knot tying contest, the prizes being ten peanuts for each kind of knot tied. A. R. Gardner, scout commissioner. of the district, and A. E. Peterson, principal of the Sandy Junior high school, were present. Both gave instruction in knot tying, teaching trick knots, tying with one hand, etc. It was decided at the meeting that the troop would re-register with the national council and take an active part for 1931-32. MIDVALE TEAM ENDS GOOD YEAR The Midvale baseball club has just finished one of the most successful seasons in history. Despite the fact that the funds were very low, the boys played a series of 40 games. out of which they were the winners 32 times. The public has had access to some really high class baseball during the season. The players feel that the public is appreciative. of this favor. The club is pleased to state, however, that it stands free of all debts and that with the winning of the consolation championship of the state, it was able to allow each of its players the sum of $2.20. "We were greatly pleased when two of our players were placed on the all-star team which was chosen from the eight teams that entered the tournament," said the local manager. |
