SPORTS Gossip About Events of National importance and the Persons Who Are In the Head
 Liner Glasses.

l NEW YORK, Dec. 22. Although
 the majority of the eastern college
 football schedules for the season O
 1917 are still in the making, it Is evi
 dent that intersectional games will
 be featured to a record extent next
 autumn. The popularity Of these con 1 tests proved one of the outstanding fea
 lures of the past fall. and 1t is certain
 that they will be duplicated on 6 | larger scale next year. If various ru mors and reports have any basis in fact not only will there be more of these intersectional games, but the | larger and more important colleges of l the east, middle west and far west will appear upon the schedules of teams many hundred miles removed from their own campus.
 Whatever next seasons play may bring forth in the way of victory or defeat, the eastern college elevens have no reason to be ashamed of their records made in the intersectional 2! idiron struggles of last fall. Dur ing the months of October and Novem. Der eastern teams participated in IS intersectional games against southern or middle western elevens, winning 15. tying two and losing one.
 In six games against the middle west five were won and one lost when Michigan nosed out Syracuse by a score of IA to 13. In these six con tests the eastern elevens rolled up total of 103 to 64 points. Michigan was the only team to figure in more than one game, the Wolverines play ing three, losing to Pennsylvania and Cornell and winning from Syracuse.
 Against the southern teams the east did still better. All told twelve games were played, of which ten were won and two tied. West Virginia held Dartmouth to z to score, and Rut- gers played Washington and Lee a l3 to l3 tie game. The total number of points scored in the intersectional contests were: East. 270; south, 36: making the aggregate for the eighteen games: East. 373; opponents, 100. If the University of Pittsburg and Georgetown University are considered as eastern combinations the score can be increased still further while if Georgetown, with the southern institu ttons. it's victory over Dartmouth, 10 to 0, gives the south one win in addi- tion to the two ties.

The best filters are germ proof only

that the cloudiness Of the water is

causes an unjustined feeling OF se.

unless the latter are under constant
expert supervision.
In laboratories, these filters are
sterilized by baking. preferably In

The fountain of youth Is a figure

older than she probably was.
The fact Is that the fountain OF

within ourselves.
