Says Beck; Has Received
No Instruction on Food

a lot of Richmond people think so,
Postmaster Beck says they call him
out of bed, make him come to the

his own bacon and make life generally
miserable just to ask him if he has
any bacon at the postoffice yet, and
how soon the corn willie will be in.
The postmaster has not yet been
officially notified of any shipments
of government produce. and he says
emphatically that he hasn't got any
bacon to sell.

tables, prices and postage will be an
nounced through all the postoffices
as soon as the official orders are
sent out" said the postma ster Mon

Capt Rickenbacker plans to return
to the automobile racing game this
season. He undoubtedly will be the
most picturesque figure on the track
in 1919.
He enlisted early in 1917. For a
time after reaching France he served
as chauffeur to Gen. Pershing, but
later procured transfer TO the aVi-
alton service. After completing his
course of instruction in April, 1919,
he won the title of "Ace" in one
month by bringing down Eve German
airplanes. Other victories followed
in quick succession.
His exploits were recognized by the
highest military authorities and he

five citations; the French CroiX de

cient pep" to have landed another
single field goal would have meant
victory. kohlman is to be congratu-
lated on his splendid foul shooting.
and the fact that he failed to score
the goal that would have tied the
score should be forgotten. Tallying
seventeen out of twenty-five fouls on
a strange floor is quite a record Es-
pecially when it is considered that
Quinn made but eighteen out thirty
four on his home floor.
Being beaten by one point is just
as much against Tech in the final
score as losing by a large tally. 1t is
defeat. If Reading can manage to
win at Lebanon by just single
point. the Berks county boys are go
likely that any team in the league,
Tech included, can defeat Reading On

that it cannot be beaten, and the

fled using the same tactics, as were

is harder to win away from home
than basketball match. A visit

land a victory. Yet to lose q game

of several players. is hard blow to
the coach, especially whe nthat one
