R. ABBIT'S ARCTIC EXCURSION INTO THE REALMS OF CRICKET

DISCUSSING TO-MORROW'S BIG GAME

IN TEMPERATURE OF

44 DEGREES

(By R. Abbit)

Cricket notes! Ye Gods and little fishes! Fancy writing cricket notes with the temperature about forly degrees, and dull grey sky with low visibility! Add to this a filthy drizzle on occasion and there you have the sort of weather in which I am trying to write these notes!

TROPIC PROOF

Thanks to the "multi-coll" principle, a new devolop- ment in radio design, invaluable for good reception of the short-wave broadcast bands, the 335 has got In this the start of many other all-wave receivers. design each wave-band of the entire range is allotted _its_own_special series of accurately dimensioned coils. Each coil has its individual and separate place in the assembly. This has raised reception to a standard that has hitherto been unknown in any other set because no other manufacturer than Philips 'is using the "multi-coil" principle. In the 355 the wavelength-range has been subdivided into 5 bands corres- ponding to an equal number of dial scales. Each band has three carefully screened coils of its own so that 5 times 3 coil-cans (altogether 15 coil- cans) are included in the chassis as- sembly of the 335 set. The range 13.5 --220 m. has been subdivided into three over-lapping parts, each having Its own dial reading. The frequency- linear calibration of the dial eliminates the possibility, especially in the case of the shortest waves, of stations getting crowded on the dial.

DUTIES OF A CAPTAIN

SELECTION of a contain of a football team generally is left to lettermen of the pro- vious year's squad.

In my opinion, the captain should be«tive fel- low who has the most team spirit, one who fights with all he has with no regard for individual, glory. That's the reason why so many men from the line are elected leader of the squad.

A captain should be a player who, by his own deeds, inspires a team to greater heights; one who never says die in the face of certain defeat, and one who has the quality of leadership'siml lar to that of a general who is in the front rank lending his men on in the face of cruel strafing. A captain also should be one of the best stu dents on the team so that he can offer an exam. ple to those who have the tendency to fall boʻ": hind in their studies.
