Davidson Game to
Be Hard One With
Wake Forest Team

Davidson, N. c., November ga
On next Thursday the Davidson eleven
and the Wake Forest eleven will meet
for the annual turkey day game. A
great day 1t will be. too, when these
two teams meet for the annual clash
Coaches Fetzer and Klutx have been
working hard for the last week get
ting the team in trim for the game.
This game with Wake Forest has
been one of Davidson's greatest games
for the last few years. And by no
means is it looked upon as minor
affair this year.
Wake Forest has a good team this
year, probably one Of the best. ii not
the best, they have ever had. It Is
reported from the Wake Forest eleven
that il they do not beat Davidson this
year. they never do expect to beat
her. Davidson would not like to dis
appoint Wake Forest now by no
means, but the Red and Black ma
chine is going to put a scrap worth
noticing. With all due despect to that
beat the old Red and Black is no
easy job for any team.
For the last nine to ten years David
son has met Wake Forest on the bat
tlefield and never has as yet been de-
feated by her. Even last year, when
she had one of the best teams she
has ever had. Davidson carried away
the scalps with a narrow margin. In
deed. 1t was q holly contested game
from start to finish and all thought
that Wake Forest would surely be the
winner until the last quarter. when
Davidson came to herself and put one
over on the eleven.
Last Saturdays game with the Uni
versity OF North Carolina was not a
fair test of Davidson's strength. Her
first and second Quarterbacks were out
OF the game and the team was gem
eraled by number three. And also
the university's team made . better
showing then than she had ever made
at any game before this season But
nevertheless with these odds against
her. Davidson kept up the same old
fight from start to finish. there was
never time when the tight even gave
any signs Of ceasing. This il why the
Davidson eleven has made such a rec
ord throughout the South, this Is why
Coach Fetxer SAYS that he In not afraid
to put his team against any team in
the South. and this is why the whole
student body OF Davidson IL proud OF
such a team.
Several Men Hurt
Several OF the men were hurt last
Saturday In tho North Carolina game.

If the baby is given even half
chance he is likely to keep in good
health. If mothers would give their
infants every possible chance, infant
mortality would be cut down to al
most nothing.
This is comparatively simple if
mother will only adopt certain pre-
Ventive methods.
There are many don'ts, but here
are some things a mother ought
to DO:
Do feed the baby regularly. This
is of prime Importance to its health.
Do protect your baby from ignO-
rant midwives and nursemaids. Call
in a good doctor if you want to know
something about the baby quickly.

Do keep baby's thumb out of his
mouth. Don't let that habit start.
It may deform his mouth for life.
Do be sure that you get only fresh
milk for baby but not the richest
milk,
Do see that milk is delivered in bot
ties and is put on ice Immediately.
Warm milk readily spoils and spoiled
milk viii make the baby sick.
Do see that new rubber nipples are
boiled before being used for the first
time. All nipples, after using, should
be carefully washed in soap and wa
ter and kept covered in a glass con-
tanning boric acid or baking soda and
water. They should be thoroughly
rinsed before using.
Do see that baby's bottle is thor
oughIy rinsed when emptied and then
kept filled with water. Before pre-
pairing the food for the day they
should be thoroughly washed with
hot suds and placed for ten minutes
in boiling water.

Signaf-eorps Notes

The Signal Corps company has
turned in its khaki equipment and re-
sumed the blue dress uniforms for the
winter. The men have been assigned
to different classes for instruction. in
ltelesraphy and visual signalling. ahd
Fit is hoped the armory instruction will
prepare the men for camp work next
year. The inspectors report of the
| company this year was the best ever
made, the only criticism adverse to the
company being slowness in visual sig
mailing.
Harnessing. saddling. laying and re-
covering field wire and promptness in
formation, section and company drill.
mounted work, condition of camp and
tents, cleanliness of mess tent and
lkitchen-all received excellent reports,
and the inspector laid special stress on
the riding and handling of the horses.
The company is TO turn out mount
ed for the G. A. r parade on Wednes-
day.
An exhibit of Signal Corps equip
ment and the manner of handling it
will be one of the features of the mil
itary tournament to be held in the l.
Street Armory December s and l.
1t is the desire of the commanding
officer to recruit the company to 100
men as. rapidly as possible. in order
that the new men may receive instruc-
ton in all branches of signal work.
Telegraph operators. both American
Morse and Continental men. are in de-
mand, and will receive special consid-
Grafton when promotions are being
made.
Fifty-four men turned out for drill
last Tuesday night, which shows the
interest being taken in the work. A
few dead ones will be dropped for
the good of the company. and their
places filled with men who are willing
to devote one evening a week to the
work.
Lieut.. :. NJ. MacLennan has been
placed in charge of the telegraph and
two-arm semaphore classes. with
Sergts. Johnson and Hall as instruc-
tors. and Lieut.. G. NJ. Lands has
charge of the heliograph. acetylene
lamp and wig-wag classes, with Sergts.
Lansford and Reed as instructors
The company has been ordered to re-
port at a. m. Wednesday morning at
the First Street Armory. where horses
will be assigned. and where they will
form for the parade.
II present plans are carried out.
every man in the company will be fur
nished with leather puttees at the COM
pany's expense.
The purchase of an electric iron by
the Wig-wag Club makes 1t possible
for every man in the outfit to keep his
uniforms pressed and in good condi-
ton. and there is little excuse for any
man turning out for drill with a crimp
in his trousers.
Men who contemplate joining the
company are welcome to call at the
armory on Tuesday night. where they
will be shown everything that goes to
make up q Signal Corps outfit.
