GOOD TREATMENT
FOR OILY SCALPS
Makes Hair Fluffy and Easy
to Manage

Men and women whose hair and
scalp are excessively oily have hard
work keeping their hair in good con
dition. Dust and dirt mingle with
dandruff. cling to the oily hair and
scalp, clog the scalp pores, stife the
hair roots and make proper cleansing
almost impossible.
Partisan Sage is an ideal treatment
for this trouble. Wash the hair not
oftener than once week, but use
Partisan Sage twice daily, pouring a
little into the parted hair and rub
bing brishly right into the scalp with
the finger tips. 1t drives out dam
druff, dissolves the excess oil and slim
ulates the scalp into healthy normal
action. This simple remedy can be OBJ
tanned from Wilfrcd f. Root or any
drug counter and is very inexpensive.

but at that the Maine eleven time and
again demonstrated that, as far as
Frank HinkCy's line was concerned,
the latter was not up to big league
standards.
This matter Of brains in football
threatens to revolutioniZe the game.
We never heard of such a thing. Here
are some of the best players in scho-
lastic ranks actually being refused adj
mission to some of our leading institu-
tons simply because they cannot pass
mere mental examinations! Now comes
Hinkcy and refuses to let Harry Lee
gore play, and the only reason, it is re-
ported. is that Harry must develop his
mentality before he can handle the i'm
portant business Of fullback.
Legore's failure to advance from the
seconds to the Yale varsity has New
Haven and way stations by the ears.
IIinllcy did not use him even for Il sec
ond in the Maine game. Here is a
great forward and lateral passer, a
man by many experts chosen for the
All American eleven. Il punter who av-
erages something like fifty yards and
drop kicker of no mean ability play
ing on the seconds because he cannot
think fast enough in a pinch! Shades
Of Pat O'Dea!
Hin6ey, OF course, is not called upon
to make any statement as to why Ger
tain stars are not played on the var
sity, and he has given no inkling OF
the reason for Legore'S remaining 6
scrub. Yet Lcgorc last season failed
to think fast enough and along thu
right channels when such action was
most essential Hinkey has a wealth
Of back field material now and no doub
believes that this is fine time to cor
rect Legore's faults in order that h,
may be right up to snuff when the hi,
battles roll around.
While Hinkey is working essential,
along the lines he followed last yea
and is depending 4 great deal on TIL
literal as well as the forward passin
game, he has discarded one feature O
his 1914 campaign waiting end
Last year the ends did little in tn
earl" downs to develop the plays, an
this system in the new football ha
proved a fallacy. 1t worked to perfet

MENTALITY is AN ESSENTIAL

Under the old rules, when the duties

Weakness in the line appears to be

Of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Dartmouth

calls for brainier men than in the days
