HARVARD WORRIED
OVER ITS TACKLE
Line VIII Be Greatly Weakened if Big
Ted Meier Is Unable
to Play.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Nov. 20.-Nill
Ted Meir. Harvards big left tackle,
be able to play against Yale on Satur-
day. This is the question on every
body's lips in Cambridge, and the fact
that the coaches ana trainers DO not
give satisfactory answer is keeping the
betting down. and SCATTERING Harvard 5
hopes of a victory "Scotty'' McAfasters.
the veteran trainer. IS of the opinion
that Meiss~ viii be on hand. but as the
students note the big fellow strOlling
about the campus with his arm still Ia
sling they do not feel so certain that
he will be in condition TO face toe giant
Hogan of Yale with Meier out. the
Crimson line would be greatly weak
ened. although Roger Derby. who viii
take his place, Is expected-to render a
good account OF himself. However. it
will be Derby's first varsity game. and
the total lack of experience Will be a big
handicap 20 him.
The betting stiil continues with Yale
a TO I favorite. but 20 little hope has
the Crimson of victory that most OF
the Harvard money has been placed on
the size Of the score. If BlOomer. Of
Yale, does not play it may cause Har-
wards hopes to rise a bit but If Meier
is not able to play It viii Offset any ad-
vantage gained by Boomers absence.
Never has there been greater de-
mand for tickets. Spectators, how

the precaution taken to keep them from

brought as high as $50 apiece, while

Brain-Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one kind
of food is needed for brain, another
for muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only
nourish a particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food
may be, it's nutriment is DESTROYED
by indigestion or dyspepsia. You
must prepare for their appearance
or prevent their coming by taking
regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids,
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifes the blood.
and makes you feel buoyant and Wig
orous. You can get this reliable re-
medy at Frost g. Spies. Price 25c
and 75c.
