Killed Troops.

The Greek killed troops, the Evzones,
bear a variant of a name which was
given to troops In the days of ancient
Greece. Euzonoi, meaning well girdled
and so girt up for exercise as Killed
men are, were light troops or even the
heavily armed hoplitai, but without
their weighty shields. At first, how.
ever, the term, as In Homer, was used
only regarding women, the ZONE" be-
ing the lower girdle worn BY them
about the waist, but by an easy and
natural transition this came to mean
q mans belt. Then, as the belt sup
ported the short skirts, killed men
were called well belted.

, versally accepted Is that drink
. ing hot drinks and eating hot
food are causes Of cancer. When
. fluids are taken into the stomach
. they do not mix with the other
! stomach contents, at least not
|. completely. There Is tendency
of fluids to pass along track
. called 'tthe gastric gullet-" This
!. gullet is a track from the left or
cardiac end Of the stomach along
. the lesser curvature to the right
, or pyloric end. This has been !
!. termed the highway for fluids"
. When a man drinks hot coffee
!. the fluid travels along this shigh-
. way for fluids" Seventy-nine
. per cent Of the cancers Of the

A Hint to the Aosd.

If people past sixty years of age could be persuaded to go to bed as soon as they take cold and remain in bed for one or two days, they would recover much more quickly, especially if they take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. There would also be less danger of the cold being followed by any of the more serious diseases.

GEORGETOWN LANDS FOUR PLAYERS
ON ALL-SOUTH ATLANTIC TEAM FOR IL

Murray is exceptionally fast down the
field. The forwards from tackle TO
tackle are rugged and hard to fool.
GIlroy has been below form all
year. but when walked up is as good
as either back on the first eleven.
Moss is a fine running hslfback,
though rather fragile.
Fletcher. handicapped by weak
team mates, has played fine football
all season, and, with the accompany
ing lineup. would look a hundred
times better than he has.
Others Worth Mentioning.
There have been a Number OF other
South Atlantic players worth men
tioning. Younger. of V. p. l.. was
a strong end. So was RichaJdson, OF
Davidson.
Grey. OF Davidson. did excellent
work for the Mountaineers. especially
against Georgia Tech and Auburn.
He is a shifting center OF real weight
and skill. Whitaker. OF A. and E,
did well against all opponents.
Besides those named, L. Roden. of
V. 7. J.. and Fain. OF W. and l., were
excellent quarterbacks. FANS for
ward passing ranks with that Of the
best in the section
Hudson, of A. and E: Godsey, of
V. 7. l., and Spann, OF Davidson, were
backfeld players OF merit.
With the single exception of David
son. it is doubtful IL any team in the
South Atlantic section was as strong
as in 1916. but all are to be praised
for playing football in war times.

country. He played strong game again
this year. especially against Fordham,

REORGANIZATION MUST
COME TO SAVE MINORS

Reorganization of territory. de-
spite its defeat at the Louisville
meeting OF the minor leagues, is still
live issue facing the small time
magnates. Action must be taken, II
baseball is to continue, even half
heartedly, in the minor circuits of
the country.
Eight leagues are in favor OF
proceeding next year with prac-
tically their present cities: Pacific
Coast, American Association, Western
League. Southern Association, Texas,
Blue Ridge, and Central Association.
Only in one or two instances must
changes be made.
Seven circuits must undergo drastic
reorganization before they can hope
to face the barrier next season. They
are the International League, Central,
Three-Eye, South Atlantic, New York
State. Northwestern, and Western
Association.
Five leagues are dead, absolutely
dead. with no hope OF revival for
many years. They are the Virginia
State, Dixie. North Coraline, North
eTn, and GeOrgia-Alabama.
Sacramento is about to supplant
Portland in the Pacific Coast League.
Three clubs in the American Associa-
ton are shally, but may continue in
the running. II given any assistance.
The Western League is bluffing. only
four OF its clubs being in condition.

and Auburn, his teams two biggest
games of the year. He is a sterling
defensive dlayer, something neces-
sary these days in fullbacks.
The first~sleven has excellent for
ward passers in Burns. Flowers, and
/ Gurley. and sure receivers in King
and Whelan. Kings catch of a pass
in the Georgia Tech game. with a
gallOp for a touchdown, was almost
miraculous. Whelan is almost his
equal.
With Gurley or Flowers kicking,
the punting would be well done, but
il either were hurt and forced to
leave the game, Dudack could do
well-nigh as good work.
What Second Team Has.
The second team has a fine punter
in Larkin. who averages close to
fifty yards with his high spirals. Nc
