Poor stick work and good fielding
on the part of Gonzaga players,
coupled with Malloy's ability to
hold the Indian batsmen in subjec-

other fancy specimens of pitching
art, then a streak of luck at the
bat for Vic Holm all went to make
up a game OF baseball yesterday

are for a large attendance. Be-
sides singing college songs, CIV
ing college yells and reviving
memories of "old Ann Arbor,"
there will be several good toasts
and speeches and the committee
in charge is preparing something
new in the nature of "gridiron"

Much of our land is too rolling and

level there is no reason why we
should not check it 80 by 8 feet and

HOW TO DOUBLE YOUR CORN YIELDS

should be read in connection with
the following article.
In the article referred to. the ques-
ton OF planting on bed or on the
level was quite fully discussed. and
at this time nothing further need be
said on that subject except to affirm
our belief In level planting. While
not condemning planting on beds In
all cases, we are convinced that land
which Is so damp and cold as 20 need
10 be planted on beds should be tile
drained MS soon IA possible. In no
case would We select such land for
making a large yield OF corn.

be used rather than the hand method

ticcd while in tho Middle South We
find the same class of we'll Informed
men advocating giving the corn more

proper spacing OF corn Is an import

cial CONFERENCE.-The is. each

of the variety planted may also be

general proposition. IL has been
pretty clearly shown that when the
different stalks are an equal distance
from each othcr-that Is. when every
stalk occupies the center OF square
of equal sizo-tho best conditions for
the largest yield have been given. In
other words. II tho land will support
one stalk on every 4 square feet,
