CONY PRACTICES
IN SNOW STORM

A failure of Cony's men to appear in
football toys during yesterday after
moons storm would easily have passed
without criticism. The appearance of a
larger squad than Reuel Williams field
has seen for some time is deserving of
much credit. No scrmmage was given
to the men, Coach Gale put the squad
through various maneuvres by kicking
off and receiving a kickoff. Punting and
receiving punts was given particular at
tention. Signal drill was another fea-
ture of the afternoons workout. Spe-
cial attention was paid to the making
swift and sure the various shifts and
formations which Cony has been able to
employ effectively. That the team is
working hard to prepare for Saturdays
game with Gardiner needs no further ev-
idence than the fact that they are will
ing to practice on such an afternoon as
was yesterday.
Information is received of similarly
hard practice of the Gardiner team I'M
der the coaching of E. T. Peterson Cap
tain Moore of Bates and Talbot of Bates
and other alumnae have been out the
last few days to help the lads get ready
for the contest of Saturday. Gardiner is
confident of victory, which in itself is an
asset.
With the daily increasing nearness of
the battle interest becomes more intense.
Predictions of victory run in either d.
recton with about equal strength. II
perhaps sufficient to say that one will
be correct and the other not far off.
Officials for the game have been secur-
ed and include: Frank Smith, Bowdoin,
referee; Emery Beane, Bowdoin, umpire;
William Williamson, Bowdoin, head
linesman: Donald Lee. linesman for
Cony; Burleigh Martin, timekeeper.

Nyasaland Natives Exist In a State OF
Partial Coma.

Partial coma.
Referring to the native peculiarities
in Nyasaland, the author OF Hunting

Stigand, comments on certain state
Of coma into which the boys" descend
when there is no active work for them
to do, or at least when there Is no COM
pulsion to do it. He believes that the
native is capable Of assuming state
in which the mind is absolutely de-
tached and not working, and when In
such state he Is only recalled by
start to his present surroundings.
The life of the head man of VII
lage in Nyasaland. when not engaged
in the strenuous pursuit of his official
duties, is something like this: At sun
rise he crawls out of his hut and sits
outside. After short time bis wife
crawls out and offers him some food.
He eats this and then makes his way
to a tree, perhaps hundred yards
from the village. Under this he sits IN
deep abstraction, till about noon a
child brings him some food and water
After partaking of this he moves lit
tie so as to get the afternoon shade
He then sits in deep meditation until
sunset, when he crawls into his hut
and goes to sleep.
Sometimes he is Joined by few 9TH
er old men under his tree. They hardly
ever speak to each other, and If they
say anything it is to make some obvi-
GUS remark, as, ''There is dog" "Yes,

period of silence.

BURBANK'S CACTUS

ledge that the presents you get are
equally futile and absurd.
On Christmas morning, Mrs jig

forth joyous peals you handed me your

Christmas present problem Is sug-

day approaches people should go round
among their friends, notebook IN mana
and ask them what they'd like to have
best, cautioning them against naming
anything too expesive. Under the
present system people pretend that
they don't expect Christmas presents.
and then go through the motions OF
