tisement, taken from between the words CAN
and EVERYTHING.
Now this week we have replaced this word
to its proper place. Now look it up for
yourself. No one knows what the word re-
moved each week is but the editor. lie
writes this word on a slip of paper and this
is placed securely away in the safe and seal
ed in an envelope, to be kept until the end
of the contest.
All the contestants look alike to the edi-
tor, and no one will know how he stands un-
til the close, when a canvass will be carefully
made and the results published.
Now contestants, We have made the word
a little harder this week. The word left out
on Contest Page No. 1 begins with G and
ends with T.
The word left out on Page No. 2 begins
with a D and ends with an L.
1t is surprising the many parents who are
in this contest. This week we were ap-
preached by many who told us how they go
after the words, and we don't think we are
telling tales out of school when we give this
much to the public. 1t did not seem to be
any secret with them. Mother looks for and
finds the word and passes the paper over to
the father. He spends an evening or two
and locates the words and then passes the
paper over to the son or daughter. Neither
tells the other what word they have found
until all are ready to report. Invariably all
get the sam word. This is a great plan
indeed, and will win in the end. So, now
you have it, get busy.
We happened in several stores this week,
and while the girls are not busy you can see
them looking after the word. Then in the
offices and homes at all hours of the day
and at night till the wee small hours of
the morning the hunt is on. It's simply
great fun. 1t is a genuine good piece of rare
entertainment, hunting.
If the coupons continue to pour in any
faster than they have we shall have to en-
ploy an assistant contest editor. So ava
you go for another week.
Sample copies are being sent out again
this week. Be sure to get one.

TWO QUINTETS TIED
 BEFORE FINAL DASH
Games This Week Should Decide Winner in Intercollegiate Race
 -CornelFs Finuc Chance.

Not until the Princeton Cornell basketball game is decided at Ithaca on Thursday night will the Intercol- legiate league champion for 1916 be known. With Pennsylvania and Princeton deadlocked in a tie for first place, and each scheduled to face Cornell five on the floor t Ithaca in the next four days, this final week of the league race is des- tined to be the most sensational f the series.
 Pennsylvania meets Cornell to- night, and only by defeating the Ith- acans can the Red and Blue be cer- tain of holding first place. If Prince l ton should duplicate the feat on l Thursday the end would find Prince l ton and Pennsylvania tied for the title. However, should Cornell break even to the team that triumphed over the Ithaca five would so the championship. On the other hand, it is by no means uncertain that Cor nell, playing on it's home floor, will not be able to trounce both contend CTS, and in that event there would be a three-cornered tie for the title with Pennsylvania, Princeton and Cornell as the joint holders. This latter possibility is considered so probable
 
 planning arrangements for a play-off series.
 DartmOuths unexpected victory over Cornell on Tuesday last is re- sponsible for this twist in the league standing The Green team took a long time to get started, but once it began to go, each game saw big improvement, and Cornell paid the penalty for holding it too lightly in the return engagement. Princeton had little trouble in defeating Yale and Cornell was able to improve it's rating slightly by administering crushing blow to the hapless Colum bia team. Aside from the Cornell Pennsylvania-P Princeton series this week, the only other game on the card is the Yale-Columbia clash at New Haven on Wednesday, on which nothing depends. Even a miracle could not pull Columb bia out of he cellar now.
