the visitors were able to make but
few first downs. Much of the visit
ors' inability TO carry the ball was
caused by the poor passing from CEN
ter. Captain Grenet was suffering
from a boil on his right wrist, and
was unable to pass the pigskin with
any accuracy. In the second half
Keeler changed positions with him.
Fullback Fleming did most of the
offensive work for the visitors, but
was soon hors de combat. He was
the only kicker the Center Countians
could rely upon, and when he left
the contest the visitors were left to
the leeward. Right Halfback Bryant
also did work while In the game, but
was soon out of commission. This
lad was a star last season at Scran-

Gus changes, Tech changing to give
the substitutes q chance while the
visitors tried vainly to stem the on

A Piano at a Nominal Price.

We have just learned that Lyon &
Healy, the great music house of Chi
cago, are disposing of a warehouse
full of pianos and organs. Some OF
these instruments are being sold at
even lower prices than were usual be-
fore the war. We advise any of our
readers interested to write to Lyon 4
Healy for a list of these bargains.
Among them are pianos by such
well-known makers as Steinway.
Weber, Steck, Lyon & Healy, Fischer,
Krakauer, Yashburn. and host of
others. Among these pianos are re-
built instruments and also new instrti-
ments of special styles. We think it
likely that responsible readers, can ar
range for monthly paymenta if they
do not wish to pay all cash. The OPP
-portunity Is such.a good one that II

Dear Sir

The United States Food Admins
traitor looks with very serious disfav-
or upon the use of rye for feeding
purposes. We believe that it is the
patriotic duty of every person to in
crease the production and conserve
the supply of this important food
commodity.
No doubt you will be willing to
undergo some slight hardship to put
this rye on the market for use i'll
manufacturing food. Mills are not
allowed to use rye in manufacturing
feed and Section of the Food Con-
troll Act prevents the destruction of
necessaries- We believe that this
Section will prevent the use -of rye
for feeding purposes.
We hope that this will give you
the desired information.
Very truly yours,
