Our annual distribution Of regis
tered pigs will be held at Oxford on
the same date of our field day, April
18 There will not be such a demand
for pigs on this date as has been in
the past, because so many Of the
boys are buying pigs from Their
neighbors, but the boys are going to
need 40 or so pigs. You bring your
pigs to Oxford on that date, we will
have pens arranged for them. There
will be others besides the boys who
will buy bigs if you will put your
pigs in good shape and have
them here.
Messrs. Olson and Bedenbaugh will
be here on that date and will have
charge of the distribution

THE SERVICE IS
ANYTHING BUT GOOD

There has never been a time since
we have been in Oxford that the elec-
trio light and power service was as
poor as now. In the day time the
power is a fright, it is weak awhile
and strong awhile, it is every way
but good. At night, it is bad and
worse, off and on, Pickering, sliding
and slipping.
How long will the people of Oxford
have to stand for the poor service
we are receiving? All the machin-
cry in the Eagle plant is operated by
electricity. The plant is lighted by
night with electricity, and we are de-
pending on the current at all times.
Many other industries have installed
motors and are dependent on the city
power.
May we hope for better service?

Minor Leagues-See
An An1icable Pact
With Big Fellows

The National Association Of Minor
Baseball Leagues, which aprogated the
national agreement with the maj

enter into "an amicable agreement" it
was announced here last night by A. R.
Tearney, of Chicago, chairman Of a
committee appointed for this purpose.
A resolution to that effect was
adopted at meeting Of the associa-
ton at Springfield Mass, after J. Cal

gust Hermann, Of the National Com

of the National League in regard to the
restoration of relations between the

Ohio State Eleven
To Play Illinois
For Mid West Title

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-With the West
ern conference football championship
race drawing to close, the undefeated
Ohio State eleven tonight is within
one game of the title, Illinois, vic
torious in five of its six games, being
the only team left for the Ohioans to
vanquish.
These championship rivals, perhaps
the most evenly matched teams in the
"Big Ten," will clash at Columbus
next Saturday in what promises to be
the most bitterly fought contest Of
the season.
Ohio kept its slate clean yesterday
Illinois bagged 20 to 7 victory over
Michigan. The defeat was the most
crushing Michigan has sustained this
season, and the form displayed by Ill
inois has convinced its followers that
the team will be the most dangerous
foe Ohio will have faced this season
Wisconsin fought Ohio State to a
standstill and conceded nothing to~the
Buckeyes, except, perhaps, in the kick
ing department. The toe of "Chick"
Harley, who booted field goal from
the 20-yard line, was all that saved TIE
game for Ohio, as the Badgers had

defensive for fully thre- quarters of
the game.
Chicago realizes that it barely es-
capped defeat at the hands of the pow
erful Iowa eleven. The Hawkeyes
proved the toughest foe the Maroons
have faced. The whistle ending the
game apparently saved Chicago from
defeat. as the Iowans had the ball
within eight inches of the Maroon goal
and we're all set or the final charge
Northwestern displayed better fight

the three points necessary t. win.

Lafayette Loses Star
End for Lehigh Game

EASTON, Pa, Nov 16.--Lafayette' s
hopes of winning the biggest game of
the year, that with Lehiph at South
Bethlehem next Saturday, were given
rude jolt tonight. when Coach Suth-
er!and anncunged that Hummel, the
varsity left end, would be unable TO
play against Lehigh. Hummel had a
small bone in his left leg broken in the
game with Penn three weeks ago,
When the cast was removed and an
X-ray taken to-day the plate showed
that the bone had not knitted toeethe r.
The team physician stated that Hum
mel would not be able to get around in
less than q month.
With Hummel out of the game it is
probable that Frank Smith, an Easton
High School product who started the
Cornell, Dickinson and Trinity con
tests, will be seen at left end. Lou
Slgel, the varsitT Quarterback, was the
only orc to be injured in the Trinity
game. Sieel received d cut Of three
inches over his left eve.

1t is generally believed that good
line plungcr is one who drives into
the pack with his nose not more than
a foot above ground. Great line
p!ungers often do travel in this
fashion, but the large number this year
who wade into the fighting masses
standing up is particularly noticeable
Gillo, of Colgate; Hastings, of Pitts
burgh; Wysocki, Of Lehigh: Schaback-
er, of the Army; Harlan, of Georgia
Tech, and jim Thorpe are few who
run high when going through. And
they do so through, too, with q crash
that splits the forwards apart like a
thunderbolt splitting roof.
Clio gets through mainly because Of
brute strength. He stuns those -yho

AMI he is seldom brought down until

Wysocki, of Lehigh, runs very much
in the manner of Hastings, knees lifted
high and with pushing, twisting whirl
that makes him difficult runner to
stop, Wysocki has the advantage of
Hastings in that he stands higher than
six feet. Both are easier to tackle in
the open than when going through a
line.
Harlan, when starring for Georgia
Tech. ran with the same twisting
motion as Hastings and Wysocki, and
never stopped until his feet were lifted
clear off the ground. A Georgia Tech
player who played with Harlan said:
"He would appear to be stopped. when
before one knew he was still in prog
rcss. His body seemed to go one way
and his legs and feet another. He
suah was powuful lahne plunger"
And those who have seen Jim Thorpe
crash the line will never forget him.
The Indian would gallop into the CEN

his head high up. Then when he an
