TECH PREPARES FOR
THANKSGIVING GAME
Annual Classic to BE Staged in Roam.
oIe With Virginia Military In
stitufeA-Game Attracting
Widespread Attention.

Blacksburs Va Nov. 2f.--The Vir
GINA Tech football squad viii be busy
this week making ready for Roanoke
college. who will engage the Poi,
teams attention here Saturday. L
comparative scores count for any.
thing. the Techs should experience
little difficulty in defeating the Salem
aggregation.
Bernier will probably use number
of second-string men in Saturday
game. as he desires to avoitt all chance
have TO be in the very pink of condi-
ton for the all-importnnt battle with
V. NJ. I. the following Thursday.
The annual classic, which will be
staged in Roanoke. as usual. is at
tracing widespread attention. as the
teams which will represent the two
schools are about as evenly matched
as can he. il should be great game
and will undoubtedly bring throngs
OF football enthusiasts to the Magic
City.
The Techs arc somewhat disappoint-
ed over their showing against the
down homers" in Norfolk last Sat
urday Somehow the team failed to
snow the olq-tine nSntinE spirit t1at
stood out so prominently against tn
strong West Virginia eleven. Then,
too the result might have been quite
different with Captain Speed" Par
IRISH and Hardwic1 in the lineup. One
redeeming feature OF this contest was
the kicking of Bork. the Blackshxg
High school boy. He averaged about
forty-dve yards and bids fair to de-
velop into wonderful punter. This
phase of play needs decided improve
ment and at different times during the
season the score could have been
much reduced. IL Tech had possessed
a punter who could have gotten the
ball out of the danger zone
Everything here is centered on me
coming game with V. NJ. /. and from
the dope obtainahle it's going to be
n Sruelfing contest. The entire cadet
corps. staff and band will journey t.
lsca1ok next Thursday, leaving here
at $50 A. NJ, arriving in the Magic
City about 1880. Tech alumni ana
hey newly created army officers are
making special effort to come to
Roanoke foI the game and from cur
rent reports it will be the largest
crowd that ever attended a griditon

RACING CUT SHORT
FOR THIS WINTER
hsVana and New Orleans Tracks to

New York. Nov. 21,-The racing
game this winter 10 to be very much
curtailed. Two tracks, perhaps thre2.
wnl zee winter racing. They are
Havana and New Orleans, and possi-
bly, Tia Juana.
JuAres will not see the thorough
oreds this winter-perhap not again
Until the end of the war
The passport difhculty caused the
own"rs to the Juarez track to an
nounee that they would not attempt
TO hold meet this year. The regu-
iatfons require each person crossing
INTO Mexico to obtain a passport on
the American side and on the return
10 the United States to obtain an
other in Mexico territory. This must
be done daily. The lond delay in get
ting these otlcial papers. the pro-
noters believe. would cause hundreds
10 remain away from the track and
therefore the meet. II 1t had been run,
would have only resulted in loss.
The same conditions may apply to
Tia Juann and an early announce
n1ent Is expected on the decision
whether a meet will be held there or
not this winter
While most of the horses will be
shipped to New Orleans for the forty
days meeting there which begins next
month, Havana will probably be the
mecca for horsemen. The climatic
conditions there and the fact that the
sport WIFI run 100 DAYS or more. in
Guiding sunday racing. will cause
many horsen en- to ship to Cuba
The racing on the Metropolitan cir
cult. which will csoss with the present

'ance at all the tracks was god and

BROWN ATTACK IMPROVES


Providence, r. L., Nov. 21-The
Brown eleven showed strong attack
| In the practice this afternoon and
lscored one touchdown against the sec
ond team. Gordon was once more In
the scrimmage. but Shaw and Weeks
are still on the side lines nursing their
injuries. Massed attacks through the
line won the touchdown for the regu-
lars, with the varsity line opening up
big holes for the backs to plunge
through.
Tables were reversed. however
when Pollard's second team was car
rying the ball. An S3-yard march
toward the varsity goal was made
by the all-American half and their
proteges. On their own ten yard line
the varsity line stiffened, and the
threatened touchdown was turned
aside

NEED MEN FOR NAVY BAND
II Two Hundred Enlist From Missouri
State Tour Will Be Made.

Mayor ]. E. Boggs has just received
from the United States Navy Recruit
ing Station, an appeal for band mu-
sicians for the Navy. Two hundred
musicians are wanted this week. The
appeal says: "a musicians life on
big warship is to be envied. His pay
ranges from SAL to S47.6O month,
in addition to all his clothing, food
and other expenses. He will see the
best there is in every corner OF the
world. His work is easy, and there is
no more patriotic thing young man
can do than to enlist in the Navy for
band work. You will readily appre-
ciate the fact that music on a ship OF
1000 men or more, is an absolute ne
cessity. 1t keeps the spirit of the
men right-it takes away, somewhat,
long hours shorter for the boys away
from home The band boys who want
to get in this gigantic band should do
so Immediately. If we can get the two
hundred men together at once, before
it will be necessary to separate them
into different bands, an effort will be
made to have this gigantic musical
organization visit every town in this
district, from which the members have
enlisted This tour of the State, which |
will be attempted if the two hundred !
can be enlisted this week, will be |
every boy in the band will
be proud to take"

"The Battle of the Somme.'

THE Battle of the Somme" by John
Buchan is a fairly detailed story of
this famous battle. The book is pro-
fusely illustrated with pictures of the
battle and the surrounding country.
There are several maps which show
the advance OF the Allies in their at
tacks. The mOnOtony of a mere
chronicle of the battle is relieved by
the telling of many human interest
stories about the men on the firing
line.
The author relates the story by
telling of the preliminaries of the bat
tie and then discusses the four stages
of the battle. Buchan says that be-
fore July 1 Q916) Verdun was the
worlds greatest, continuous battle,
but the Somme exceeded it in num-
bers of men engaged and the objec-
tive points. The result of the battle,
he says, was to relieve Verdun, check
the main German forces on the West
ern front and bring into battle the
surplus man-power of the enemy.
An appendix gives the report of Sir
Douglas Haig to the British war Of
fee on the battle and a second one of
General Sixt Won Armins.

CRUMBLING PILLARS

"Dr. Won Bethmann-Hollweg has re-
signed because the Reichstag cannot
support his politics. How will those
American newspapers which have al
WAYS insisted that Germany does not
possess a parliamentary government
be able to explain this matter?" in
quires the Illinois Staats-Zeitung.
The formers chancellor's hurried
resignation does not mean that Ger
many has always been ruled by the
people and does not weaken the as
sertions of American editorial writ
ers. 1t is the first sign that the voice
of the people has begun to rise above
the clash of steel-that the first of the
pillars which support the uneasy
throne of Wilhelm, the Second, has
crumbled away, worn by the restless
waves of the real Germany.
Hollweg, while a strong support to
the kaiser, was the mediator between
the people and the Imperial Govern
ment. Now that link has been broken
and only the harsh voice of Hinden-
burg reaches the throne. The Ger
man government in desperation
adopted ruthless submarine warfare
and closed its ears to the conse-
quences-with the same disregard il
has now closed its ears to the remon-
strating populace demanding peace
without annexation or indemnity and
has placed the fate of the nation in
the hands of the war machine.
In the face of this bold declaration,
with Hollweg, the mouth and ears of !
the government, forced out, the people
may resort to violent methods. Other
of the imperial government
may be removed by an enraged people.
A step towards real parliamentary
government has been taken in Ger
many.

THE OPEN COLUMN
Protests About Delivery Situation.

Editor the MiSsourian: We have re-
Gently heard a great deal of discus
sion concerning the matter of city de-
livery. One merchant stated not long
ago that the delivery expense to the
people of Columbia is annually more
than $125,000. he went on to state
that a merchant loses on the deliv-
cry of every package containing less
than % cents worth of merchandise.
and he gave some striking illustra-
tions of unreasonable requirements
made by some of the people of CO.
lumbia. l thoroughly agree with him
that we ask too much of our mer-
chants in calling for special delivery
of packages that We might as well
carry home with us. Neither do | see
any reason for having three Or four
deliveries day on the same street.
l believe the people of Columbia
would be willing to adjust their or
derin1 so that one delivery day
would be sufficient. if they were GER
tain that they would be met half way
on the proposition. What we are in
terested in knowing is, who will get
the $125,O00 saved if we were to cut
down on delivery expense? | have
frequently gone to considerable in
convenience to carry a parcel home
rather than have the merchant go to |
the trouble and expense of delivering
it for me, but he charges me the same |
for the package that he would charge |
the person who would require him to .
deliver it. | wonder if this is not the
way the whole delivery scheme will
work out
The thing | should like to ask the Il
merchant is, will it make any diff II
ference in prices if the consumers
agree to one delivery a day, or sup
pose We go further, three deliveries a
week. Merchants have said a good
feal about the expense of making
special deliveries and so many deliy- II
cries a day, but they have not made
any statement in regard to who will |
get the money saved by having fewer
deliveries. If We must continue to /
'ay for the service, it looks as though
We had just as well have it. II the |
merchants are really interested in |
he matter of public saving as a pa
riotic duty and not as a public say
ng which will mean to them a per-
onal gain. they ought to be willing
nd able to work out a system which
VII mean to them a personal gain. II
hey ought to be willing and able to Il
york out a system which will cause
he person who puts them to extra
rouble and expense to pay for this
rouble and not ask the person who
'ies to be reasonable to pay in the
anne proportion.
II looks as though it is partly I'D
the merchant to show US what he
