This was l^drue’s first appearance on the first teanr of Central High school. He played end on the Reserves last year and was affectionately dubbed “gang way" by all who knew him, especial lythose who played opposite him. He was the only Colored lad in the game and his scrappy, peppy, aggressive playing soon earned the attention and appreciation of all the supporters of Central. South High, the opponents, soon saw the playing of Galloway and their dirty work of two years ago was started again. South High is noted for its dirty glaying and Fri day all this dirt was turned loose against Galloway. Galloway played a clean game all the way through and made many telling gains for his team. Playing tackle, one of the hardest positions on the team, he filled his place well. AH attempts to gain ground through Galloway ended in dismal failure. When called back to receive the ball Galloway hit hard and low. The first time he was given the ball he netted fifteen yards in a terrific line plunge. On several subsequent times he made first downs for the home team. Galloway was hailed by the World Herald as the mainstay of Central’s team. He is holding down the posi tion filled by Art Logan, All-State tackle, last year. It takes a good man to fill the place and Galloway surely is filling it. Go to it “Gangway,’’ old boy.

HOW TO CHOOSE BEEF In choosing meat it should be re membered that without being actually unwholesome, it varies greatly in quality and often an inferior cut or joint is to be prefered from a first class beast to a more popular cut from a second class animal. For good beef the flesh should be of a close even grain, bright red in color and well mixed with creamy white fat, the suet firm and clear white. Heifer meat is smaller in the bone and lighter in color than ox. Cow beef is very’ similiar to look at but being older it is’ much tougher and courser in the grain. Bull beef is never seen in a first-class butchers shop and may be recognized by the coarseness and dark color and strong smell of the meat. There are seven chief methods of cooking meat, vis: wasting, boiling, baking, stewing, frying, boiling and poaching. The first three are most suitable for points, ./eighing four pounds or more, but not for smaller pieces which are liable to become hard and flavorless by the drying up or loss of the juices. Of the other three methods, stewing may be ap plied to large pieces, but is much better for smaller ones, while frying or boiling are used for steaks, chops and such cuts. Braising and steam ing are combinations of these meth ods. We will take these up in their order beginning next week. South Side Locals The Rev. J. A.
