CLOSE CALL
FOR THE TIGERS

Princeton. N j., oct. THE villa
Nova eleven made the Tigers work
yesterday afternoon but were trimmed
by the score of IL to 0. The play for
the first few minutes was in Prince
ton territory. This the Villa Nova lads
were able TO do by a forward pass and
by recovering a short punt. Then fol-
lowed penalties, and Captain Siegling
was ordered out of the game for al
legged rough play. The two teams
sawed back and forth then until Nc
Crohan tore off long run through a
broken field for a touchdown. The
first half ended soon afterward. II
the second half the Tigers had things
pretty much their own way. Twice
they carried the ball to the Villa Nova
goal post only TO lose it, Cunning
ham scored twice by drop kicks. just
after the last score the Pennsylvania
boys blocked a kick under the Tigel
goal, but Christie recovered. This was

RIDICULEs STORY.
Bartelme Riddles Report Of
Football Combine.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct Yes. I
have read the reported alliance. but it
is too ridiculous and remote to war
rant serious discussion" was the way
in which Director of Athletics Philip
G. Bartelme sumed up the story re-
garding the possibility of an alliance
composed of Michigan. MINES ota, Wis
consin, Illinois, Pennsylvania, SYRIA
cuse and Cornell. formed for the pur-
pose of bucking Chicago.
Has the matter been considered by
you or by the board of control of ath-
letics?" he was asked.
Never" was his emphatic reply. "I
am quoted as saying the plans have
lutely untrue, for have never said
anything of the kind. I have heard
nothing from the other institutions
mentioned, nor have we broached the
subject to any Of them"
Trainer Fitzpatrick and Yost were
emphatic in denying the rumor. On the
face of things any such combination
is out of the question. Illinois, Min
nesota and Wisconsin are in no posi-
ton to suffer athletic suicide by cut
ting off Chicago, and that is what ii
would amount to for them.
Urbana. H., Oct. Talk of new
athletic combination is regarded as a
Joke at Illinois Director George HUI

regarded as idle to suppose that the
Illini would join a coalition agains'

A WARNING

Since its introduction into the United
States, the sales of Partisan Sage have
been phenomenal This success has
led to many limitations similar in name.
Look out for them. They are not the
genuine. See that the girl with the
Auburn hair is on every package. You
can always get the genuine at Sum
mers' Pharmacy.
Partisan Sage is the quickest acting
and most efficient hair tonic IN the
world.
1t is made to conform to DR.. Sanger
bonds (of Parls) proven theory that
dandruff, falling hair. badness and
scalp itch are caused by germs.
Partisan Sage kills these dandruf
germs and removes all trace of dan
drun in two weeks, or money back; ii
stops falling hair and itching scalp
and prevents badness.
And remember that badness is
caused by dandrun germs. those little
hard working, persistent devils that
day and night do nothing but dig into
the roots of the hair and destroy its
