Cold storage proof of the merit of any

There was an Angel Band in Heaven
That was not quite complete,
So God took our darling Anna
To hll the vacant seat.
Sadly missed by
FATHER, MOTHER AND SISTER.
In sad but loving remembrance of
Joseph H. Webb, who departed this life
February 4th, 1916.
Just six months ago today
Ny dear brother passed away;
He received a message from above
And was borne to Heaven on wings Of love.
Gone in the best Of his days
Blighted in manhood's bloom;
Torn from the hearts that loved him,
To sleep in the silent tomb.
Farewell. dear brother. you have left me.
And your vacant chair see;
But as you could not stay with me.
l shall always remember thee.
What happy days we once enjoyed.
How fond the memory still
You have left aching hearts
The world can never fill.
He is waiting by the river.
Just across the silent stream;
Where sweet flowers are ever blooming,
And the banks are always green.
Sadly missed by his sister,
MRS. M. H. WEBB,
And Loved Ones.

PENN CREWS LEAVE FOR
THREE RACES AT ANNAPOLIS
Varsity, Junior and Freshmen Fights
Will Row Navy Boats Saturday

Coach Wright and his three Pennsyl-
vanla crews will leave for Annapolis
shortly after 2 this afternoon, where the
MILDLY oarsmen will be encountered on Sat
urday. This is the second race of the
season for the varsity eights, and the
oarsmen are confident of repeating their
victory of last Saturday over Yale in the
big event, and they also expect the juniors
to pull over the line a winner. What the
freshmen can do is a question, as they
have had no races as yet, but judging
from their practice of the last week they
will surely put UP good fight.
The strength of the Navy crews is en-
tirely unknown as yet Last year the
Mldshipmen were represented by one of
the strongest Plebe crews ever turned out.
This year all of these men can be drawn
upon for the varsity in addition to the
material left over from the other eights.
on paper therefore, the Penn eights have
a hard proposition ahead of them, and
Coach Wright is taking no chances.
