Havard, to ? favorite, barely got away with a tie. Princeton sup porters were asking 20 points and then wagering very little.
 Alabama, an easy to favorite just before the game started, met her first defeat. Personally I am in favor of hanging that "gink" who sent out all the sob from Nashville about the Van derbilt team. l knew the Commodores had 1t in em but I thought Alabama would knock it out of 'em.
 Probably the biggest surprise of them all was Washington and Lees victory over Tech. In Atlanta Tech fans were offering even money on the Golden Tornado to win by 25 points. It's hard to believe. ~

CIVIC PRIDE.

There may be few people in Ok
ford who know the meaning OF the
word "civic pride" but one passing on
our streets would be lead to believe
that the word was foreign to Oxford
people. The streets are in horrible
condition, especially the side or back
streets, and it seems that they are be-
ing given very little attention.
On one back street, running in front
of DR.. Linder's residence there is a
line of hose pipe, suppose, to be the
property of the city. 1t makes no diff
ference whose property it is, it should
not be allowed to lie out and take
the rains and rot on the ground. It
is far from being an ornament to the
street.
We see various things scattered on
the streets mot right up in town.
which are anything but ornamental. A
wagon could be filled almost half full
of old cans in one pile which Is being
made a regular dumping place for
filth on one of our streets. Ladders,
cross arms, poles and various things
are allowed to lay for long periods
wherever used. Their eseems to be no
place for anything, or just any old
place for everything.
Before the people of Oxford will
take pride in trying to keep the
town clean the city must take the lad
and do it's part. 1t is true that we have
had considerable wet weather, but that
is no excuse for leaving a good hose
pipe on the ground to rot or dump cans
on the streets to be scattered and al
lowed to remain for weeks.
Let the city take the lead in clean
up campaign-the old town needs it.
