Volleyball and For Youthful Volleyball and netball will opent the 1928 boys tournament season, February 10, on the playgrounds and the rules governing both contests VOLLEYBALL Game: It shall consist of 15 points.

(A match may be played on a time instead of point basis; 1. in Quarters or halves of de termined length, teams changing courts for second half or for each new quarter). Size of courts: Court shall be 25 feet wide by 50 feet long, divided by the net into two equal courts. A center line, shall be drawn across court immediately beneath and parallel to the net. For younger players a line be drawn across the court, parallel to the net and 15 feet from it.

The space between this line and the rear boundary line is to be used as the service court and a ball may be sent from any point In this serving court. The service by a player from this area may be assisted by one player. The serving line shall ordinarily De the rear boundary line, A umber of players: Two to thir ty. For match games, six players with two regular substitutes on each team. Net: The net shall be at least 2 feet wide and 25 feet long.

The height for top of net is 7 feet inches from the ground, but may be lowered to suit ages of players to 6 feet Inches in height. Object of the Game: It is purely a defensive and batting game. The object of the game is to keep the ball volleying over the net without permitting it to touch the ground or net. If. the ball batted by the server touches, the ground of the opponents' court, the serving side scores one point.

If the ball is returned by the opponents and touches the ground of the serving side, the opponents receive the ball and have an opportunity to begin scoring points. Positions of Players: Number the players and positions and have them play the different positions by rotation, so each in turn covers all positions In the field. Change positions when ball is received for service. Line Ball: A ball striking a boundary line is equivalent to one in court. The Server: 1.

Each member of the team shall serve in turn and may have but one trial to get the ball over, 2.

During those fast growing years between the ages, of 10 to 15, with her never, failing wisdom, Nature has endowed youth with an appetite more er less elastic enough to meet tne aemanus ot rapiuij developing bodies. The first danger signal on the highway of glowing health and one to be neeaea wm-out delay is the plight of the child ho admits to never being nungry. Hnme rtntifis. school, errands and nlav.

Your three meals a aay are your system What periecc team work is to your game. Brcakfawt is the Captain In this gume of health. The cob-f icleut leader of the squad that adds sest and spirit to the struggle.

Without it you may play the daily game of life but it lessens your winning chances by overwhelming odds when you are just a few years old. Like your football, soccer ball or basketball that must be full to give the kind of service that scores a goal, so you, too, must have the ight sustenance to reach your goal to perfect health, strength and en durance. Don't be penalized for unserv iceable equipment. Referee Luncheon is the quick, snappy, full of pep and "Johnny the spot dictator that must satisfy every demand. The noon hour for all playground people seems to fade with lightening rapidity and to conserve every moment possible for action Is to make short work of the referee.

School cafeterias, cooking classes, domestic science schools and the department of home economics in many institutions have compiled in pamphlets and books countless menus and suggestions for the school lunch. These contain all the nutrition necessary for growing children's appetites, yet are so easily assimilated that to eat them "on the run" brings no harmful results to the digestive truck. Dinner Is the tried and true Coach in this daily health contests It is the bulwark of resistance, the commander or youths forces and one of the most enjoyable asso ciates of a 12-year-old. Spend plenty of time in Its com pany. Linger so long as the house hold law and home work allow and make it the "outstanding fea ture of the game.

It should be a merry conflict, for every laugh is to health what a goal is to your game. Be loyal to your Coach. Never go to school hungry and never go to bed hungry. And remember malnutrition is to growing bodies what a muddy field is to the game. You slip and backslide in any kind of play and you are handl-caped every inch of the way.

In all this wide world there is nothing to compare with the exuberance of healthy, Joyous youth. see to It that it does not pass you by.

The article appears in the January edi tion of the publication. Under the title "Playground Dra-mntlcs in Oakland." the Oakland Recreation department has received national recognition and approval on this special type of playground amusement.

Because it will be of much Interest to the enthusiastic workers in this branch of departmental work as well as to the hundreds of small play folk who par ticipated, we are reprinting me comment in full: "The recreation department ot Oakland counts among Its most successful summer activities the work of the educational dramatic section for little people. "Children from all parts of the city, from three to eighteen years of age, took part in tne prugrain, nrhinh wbs conducted under the di rection of three leaders who worked in turn on the various piaygrounos the city in cooperation with the playground directors in cnarge. "FMirht lartre municipal play grounds and 23 school playgrounds had organizea groups oi umiuicu taking part in the little dramas. "Only one or two rehearsals, never more than four, were held before the plays were presented in outdoor theaters or on the park lawns with only the shrubs and flowers as scenery. The costumes were provided by the costume department of the recreation department and the audience consisted of the friends and families of the little players.

"In one corner of Mosswood playground is an outdoor theater which was used not only by groups of children from Mosswood but from other playgrounds. Here eight matinees were presented, seven being given at other playgrounds. "During the mauness inrea or four plays by different groups were given, all in costumes. In all BO plays were given by 556 children during the no play being repeated. The list Included "The Queen of Hearts," "Toy Symphony," "Forest Spring," "In the Kitchen of the King," "Fire of Icicles," "Fairy Old Boy," "Darby and Joan." In addition to the plays 312 stories were told to groups and 29 dances were taught.

It has been estimated that the combined size of the audience for the season was in excess of 14,000 people. "So successful was the program that toward the end of the summer the department built a travel ing or "Vagabond" theater on an automobile trailer which was sent from olavcrround to playground. Before the eyes of the interested audience the vagabond theater would be put in working order, the scenes put In place and gay col ored awning hung to niae tne wheels and make a real theater. In this vagabond theater the three matinees which were given proved some of the most delight ful of the summer activities." St. Mary's High Beats Santa Rosa The St.
