water, but immersed in cold water,
placed upon the range and brought 10 a

from. this first imperfect step.
OF equal Importance it is TO use only
such fruits or vegetables as are per-

Golden Tornado Prouing Best Scoring Factor

Though the National league had to take another wallop in the worlds series this fall, the seventh in the last eight years the National had it's best post-season showing against the American league in years. Cincinnati which finished fourth in the National league, defeated the Cleveland Indians, which wound up third in the American league, in six games In St. Louis the Cardinals won the city series from the Browns for the first time since 1912, the Nationals winning four out of six games
 On the two post-season series and the worlds series the National league scored 10 victories against eight for the Amer jean. The victory in the two minor series, however, is small consolation for the loss of the world series.
 However, it tends to show that the Na- tonal league is getting back into it's own. In the last eight years, or since the American league started to take as cendancy over the Nationals, in 1910, 2s post season series have been played, re- sulting in l9 victories for the American league eight for the National and one tie It gives the American league post season percentage for the eight years Of .T04. Last year over seven-year stretch it was .750.
 The worlds series and the Chicago city series have, of course, fattened this American league percentage. The Amer ican league has only lost one world s series since 1910, while the White Sox did

 Why not save yourself the suffer- ing and inconvenience which your ex- perience tells you is in store for you.
 Avoid the folly of waiting until the disease has you within its grasp again.
 Proper treatment is worth great deal more right now than later. Ca- tarrh cannot be permanently cured by local treatment with sprays. o h s. ointments, washes. etc. Science has proven that the disease is in the blood.

The outfit was in perfect trim, every man weathering the gruel- ling contest without the addition ot injuries.
 The souad was in a cheerful frame, despite the defeat at the hands of Van derbilt still being fresh in their mlnos.

The Navy team closed their season Saturday with total of 442 points scored in eight games. Penn State held on to second place when Maryland State was defeated, 57 to 0.
 Unless the Navy plays a game this week, unscheduled at present, it is prac- tically assured that they will have to relinauish their hold as the leader in total points scored for the season, as Georgia Tech will have played one more game than the Middies.

Plainsmen are strong, put lack lot of being powerful.
 In the first place, Vandy is not strong. Their victory over Alabama was nothing but pure ana simple Tuck" and they will probably go an other century before they lick a team that outcIassed them as much as the Crimson does. Vandy's lone hope for a victory over Auburn rested in the aerial attack and when that failed the McGugin outfit was simply lost ball in the high weeds.
 WEAK ON AERIAL WORK
 Auburn suffered defeat the previous Saturday by inability to cope with the aerial attack and the defeat dd much toward the educator of the green heavyweights on the Auburn line.
 Auburn's weakness in breaking up the forward pass was displayed here in the game with the Mississippi Ag- gies. The aerial attack was started late in the game and time alone pre- vented the Aggies from tallying the tying touchdown
 And Tech is great user of the aerial attack. Much of Heisman's game is built around the flinging of the pigskin through the air, Joe Guyon, the big Indian, being the chief ex- ecutor. Auburn broke up the Vandy forward pass formations which, 1t must be admitted, are exceptionally good, but whether the Plainsmen can solve the aerial attack of the Yellow Jackets remains to be solved
 TECH SURE TO WIN
 Tech is almost certain to defeat the Plainsmen victory over the Golden Tornado is practically an impossible ity, but holding the Heisman crew to low score would be as good as a win Davidson has made the best showing to date against the Jackets suffering a loss by 35 to 10. Should Auburn hold the Jackets to a 25-point margin victory, too much praise foi the Donahue eleven could not be pre- scented.
 Tech will enter the contest, using comparative scores as a basis, a 59- point winner The Jackets will not however, hardly beat the P1ainsmer by that great score, but still noth- ing is too great an accomplishment for a team like the Georgians pos sess to do.
 Auburn is laying low" for the Tor nado, and the great machine of Heis man will certainly have one sweet bat tie when the Tigers from the plains o Alabama are met.
