Lehman Team Receives Cup Symbolic Of League Championship FINE ADDRESSES | | | | The keynote of good fellowship that characterizes Rural League sports was sounded at the ‘First Annual League Dinner Tuesday night at the Suburban Inn, Dallas. Present were the members of the basketball teams of the League, |managers, referees, and guests of the League. It was also the occasion of the Ipresentation of the IL.eague trophy to Lehman who won the League cham- pionship. : Mr. Calvin McHose, principal of !Dallas High School, was toastmaster. His natural wit, puns and quips kept the assemblage in constant good hu- mor. Jack Roberts, managersof the Dallas team, led the singing, and Wil- liam Williams was the pianist of the evening. 8 The program opened with the sing- ing of a number of ‘get together” and “banquet” songs. After dinner the toastmaster warmed to his task with a few jokes which evoked laughter and more laughter. “Red” Schwartz who has been president of the Rural League four of the five years of its existence started the speaking pro- gram of the evening with a few well- chosen remarks. “Red¥ thanked the managers and team members for their fine spirit and ready co-operation that was shown throughout the season. In Concluding, Mr. Schwartz stated that this year was the most successful that the League has so far experienced. Ed- ward Kotchi, Dallas Post sports writer, commented briefly on the play of the Rural League this season. Edward Donohoe, Times-Leader sports writer, was called upon and dis- coursed interestingly upon the value and benefits of athletic competition. Discipline and order, Mr. Donohoe said, are the two main benefits de- rived from organized sports. He lauded Mr. Schwartz for his splendid work in striving to maintain the League on a high level. The fact was cited that during “Red’s” tenure in office, he has had only one protest, and even that was withdrawn. In closing, “Eddie” facetiously vised some of the fellows to get to- gether and shanghai the Lehman play- ers, who have had a virtual monopoly on the League flag, winning it three out of five times. The eye of the Ante of ceremonies then fell on William Loftus, sports editor of the Evening News. Mr. Loftus spoke of the fine spirit that participation in sports engenders. Ath- letics, he-averred, is a convenient and facile method of developing young men physically, morally, and mentally. He disclaimed the idea that a record of no protests necessarily means a suc- cessful and live organization. It may mtan that no enthusiasm eixsts. “Where there are protests, there is enthusiasm,” said Mr. Loftus, “and en- thusiasm is the very lifeblood of sports.” The . speaker congratulated ipresent for the spirit that they levinced throughout the past year. He jcalled them “pioneers of sport,” and {ended his address with the hope that some day the Rural League will be the foster-parent of a thorough and varied athletic program for this section. Mr. William Davis, of Wilkes-Barre, was the main speaker of the evening. He prefaced his talk with a few rare bits of humor which were very well received, Inter-community athletics, @accord- ing to Mr. Davis, should be encouraged rand developed because it creates loy- alty to community, it occupies young men’s time to good advantage, and it develops the elements of sportsman- ship, perseverence, temperament, and co-operation.

The drive began in earnest on Tues- day night and continued Wednesday and yesterday as officers checked au=~ tomobiles passing through town and arrested all persons guilty of exceed- ing the twenty-mile-speed limit. The crusade was started in response to a great number of complaints that motorists are travelling through the town at speeds hazardous to pedes- trians and to persons pulling out into the lane of traffic from parking places, The strict enforcement of the speed limit early in the season will do a great deal, it is believed, to control the speed of automobiles later when heavy summer traffic begins. 4 In accordance with rules governing enforcement of the speed laws, signs notifying motorists of the 20-mile limit were posted throughout the town this week. Speed traps, as recognized by the State Department of Highways, were established as follows: ] A 660-foot length of telephone wire included in the trap. One policeman is stationed at each end of the trap. When an automobile passes the first point the policeman clicks his stop ‘watch and signals by telephone to the man at the second point. A special chart of distances covered at different Speeds tells the second policeman, he has clicked his watch, how fast the car travelled over the measured strip. If the car under observation has exceeded the speed limit, the po- liceman at the end of the trap signals to a third policeman to halt the speed - ing car. Chief. O'Kane is being assisted by the three other members of the police department, Joseph Jewell, Jimmie Gansel, and Robert Marshall. The State Highway Patrol also is cooperat-- ing. The trap will be moved from time to time but it will be confined to Shes town proper. The fine for violators 7 will be $10 and costs. M.E.
