fourteenth time for supremacy on the
gridiron.
while Hitchler is now connected with
Dickinson in an official capacity. Both
Gillinder and Thompson are Glass A
officials. To be registered in this class,
an arbiter has to officiate in one or
more of the major contests, such as
similar game of high caliber. This
will mean that officiating at the con-
test will be of the highest caliber.
In addition to the 24-page program
that is now being prepared, that will
contain all the data relating to the
two teams, cards will be placed at
every ten yards of the -gridiron mark
ing the distance to the goal line. This
will enable the spectators to gauge
the distance the ball has been car
ried, and how far the teams are from
ponent's goal. In ordinary contests,
when a goal is kicked from the field,
one cannot readily tell how far the
ball has travelled. With a card system
to mark the distance much interest
will be added to the game.

WOMEN LEARN HOME ARTS
AND POULTRY AT PENN STATI

Cookery, dietetics, home nursing,
household sanitation and management,
elementary and advanced sewing and
millinery are among the subjects which
1t is possible for women students in
the winter short courses at the Penn
sylvania State College to pursue.
These subjects are offered for a period
of six weeks, at the end of which it is
possible for any woman student who
so desires to pursue subjects in agri-
culture offered during the second six
week period
Because the poultry operations on
the average farm are conducted by the
housewife women students in the WIN
ter sessions often drift naturally into
the poultry course. The poultry
courses offer lectures and recitations
on poultry husbandry as a farm en-
terprise, equipment for the farm flock
including a study of poultryhouses
feeding equipment. incubators and
brooders, poultry feeding, the produc-
ton, preparation and marketing of
eggs and poultry, sanitation and hy-
giene, insect pests and common poul-
try diseases. Valuable practice work
is given in killing and dressing poul-
try, grading, Gambling and packing
eggs for market, testing eggs during
incubation and caponiZing
Eighteen women students were en-
rolled in these courses last winter.

Easton, Pa, Nov. "a. - Tomorrow
afternoon on March Field in Easton
will be staged the greatest football
battle of the smaller colleges of the
Fast. Lafayette and Lehigh will meet
in that annual struggle by whose out
come. the success or the failure of the
entire season is measured for each of
them.
Since 1884 the football hopes and
aspirations of both these neighboring
institutions have been fixed upon de-
feating the other. Tomorrow will
mark the 51st meeting of the two
upon the gridiron. Through this long
period of rivalry, Lafayette has been
more successful. Twenty eight times
has she left the chalk streaked field,
the victor. On twenty occasions Le-
nigh has enjoyed the fruits of victory,
and twice the contests have ended in
even scores.

You must hand it to Central High
students for real school spirit. They
let bygones be bygones. You don't
hear them worrying about the Steel

the next game and go after Tech on

had whole lot to do with bringing
back confidence for the team.
An enthusiastic cheer practice was
led by the cheer leaders at the close
of Central High School yesterday, in
preparation for thesThanksgiving Day
game. The cheer leaders are eXcep-
tionally good this year, and the pep"

Pitt Takes Up Plans For
Basketball and Other Sports

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. "a. - The
Carnegie Tech scalp having been
added to their list of victories, and
with only the final match with the
Penn State eleven on their schedule,
interest at the University of Pitts
burgh is turning toward the winter
sports of basketball, swimming, hockey
and wrestling. Along with Pitts rise
in the intercollegiate football world,
there has been an almost parallel ad-
vance in all other branches of sports.
So we find that the Panther's fame in
collegiate athletics rests almost as
much upon their showing on the bas-
ketball floor as on the gridiron. Initial
practice for the Varsity was held this
week and Student Manager ]. L. Scott
has announced an extensive schedule
for the coming season.

Navy Near Battlefield;
to Start Game With Seconds

Annapolis Md, Nov. 24-With the
cheers of their comrades ringing in
their ears, the thirty-six members of
the Naval Academy football squad left
the Bladen Street Station here this
afternoon for New York, where the
annual game against the eleven of the
Military Academy will be played on
Saturday.
Heach Coach Ingram will stake
everything on the youngsters he has
chosen to make up his back field at
the beginning of the game. Probably
no other college team centers its cru
cial contest of they year on q back field
composed entirely of members of its
entering class, yet that is what Ingram
is going to do with Whelchel at quar-
ter, Roberts and Ingram at the halves
and Berry at fullback
He is taking this action in spite of
the fact that he has a number of play
ers of more experience who have made
good whenever called upon this season.

at Steelton several weeks ago the local
lads sprang a big surprise in winning
from Coach Taggart's crew, 10 to 0.
Steelton will enter the fray without
the services of Dayhoff, the best all
round athlete in the school. Injuries
received at Lebanon last Saturday may
keep him from taking part in the cage
games during the winter. Tech will
also be in a crippled condition.

upon the sugar or the paper, we should
try, as quickly as possible, to get him
to think in the larger aspects Of the
problem. A child Of seven or eight Is
usually quite capable of understanding
the principle of avoiding waste, and
of applying it quite generally to all
kinds of materials. The other side
OF our problem is to establish through
the routine of the home a sane atti-
tude toward the whole question of the
use of materials. 1t is not enough TO
repeat from time to time the adage
about being penny wise and pound
foolish" 1t is necessary constantly to
keep before the children the idea that
the justification for getting is not hay
ing, but using. Material wealth is to
contribute not to our repute, not to-
our power over others, but to life more
abundant.

Quest for Youth.

One child of the period was curious
to know what became of the old moons.
A greater puzzle is what becomes Of
the old men and women.
People refuse to grow old; perhaps
because they are afraid to. They are
like the wonderful one-horse shay,
proof against the ordinary process Of
gradual depreciation. They last so
many years, seemingly unchanged and
Interchangeable, and then-suddenly drop
into pieces.
Old age Is questionable, and gravity
pardonable only in the very young. II
is said that the majority of tango stu
dents are well over fifty.
A boy may delight in bluebooks, a
Greuzelike young girl may addict her
self to the study of eugenics; but that
way fogeylsm and frumpIshness lie for
the man or woman over forty.

Reconciliation.

In most families and among friends,
differences sometimes arise that are
decidedly unpleasant. In nearly all
cases these differences spring from mis-
understandings. A time comes when
explanations, apologies and reasons
are in order, and a reconciliation takes
place. This is thing much to be
desired, and when it comes, wash the
slate clean. Leave no fragments, no
left-overs to be brought up at another
time. Wash the slate clean as you
woul1 wipe out faulty example.
Cleanse the heart of the last drop OF
bitterness or resentment. Let love and
good will prevail. A genial spirit brings
more real happiness than manner SO
reserved as to raise doubt of the pleas
ure of meeting, doubt that reconcilia-
ton was mutual. SO forgive as to for
get. 1t has been done and can be done.
Such forgiveness wins good will and
cements friendships that fill life with
JOY. Hold yourself ready to "wash the
slate clean"

FEEDING the Infant

The infant is born with store Of
iron within its body. During the nurs-
ing period this store is gradually de-
pleted, since the milk contains little
iron.
At weaving time the infant stands
in need Of iron. This Is usually sup
piled in egg yolk, beef press juice.
scraped beef, prunes, whole wheat
foods and oatmeal, and some ply
sicians of unquestionable standing
recommend spinach.
Egg yolk is of especial value as a
source Of iron, calcium, phosphorus
and lecithin. But it is an exceedingly
rich food. 1t must be fed with great
care on two accounts, first, to avoid
making the baby sick, because while
it is usually well taken it acts like
poison to some infants, and second, be-
cause the value of egg is so great that
it is especially unfortunate If you up
set the infant by an overallowance,
since it may be long time before it
will regain its tolerance for this food
