COLLEGE NOTES

The ban against students visiting
Rutland has been partially lifted and
those who have been vaccinated are
allowed to go there now.
There was a large attendance at the
Victory Dance held in the gymnasium
Saturday evening, the proceeds of
which are to 60 to buy sweaters for
the twelve men who made their let
tiers on this years Varsity. The music
was furnished by the Mddlebury
Syncopators, aided by Adams "a and
Durkee "a of Hunters Orchestra.
The call for basketball candidates by
Manager Cohen last week was answer
ed by between thirty and forty men
including veterans of last years Var
sity, class team stars, and the usual
crop of new players. Coach Brown is
in full charge of the workouts at pres
ent and is much encouraged with the
material he has had to work with so
far.
The question of positions is 4 matter
of guess work just at present. Cap
tain Heath will in all probability be
seen in one of the forward positions
as that is his natural place Chuck"
Leonard is another OF last years team
who is rapidly rounding into form and,
if he has the basket shooting eve that
proved such factor in the scoring col
umn during the games on the latter
part Of last years schedule, he will
doubtless give any new conner a hard
fight for the other forward position.
Davis seems a possibility at center and
has had some Varsity experience there
in past years. Franklin is another
candidate for the position. Among
the backs, Lacy is showing good form
and Hardy "a, who has hoA consider
able experience with the Springfield
Y. M. c. A. team, is another strong
contender.
Among the candi late5 who we're
prominent on last years class teams
are Whitmore 81, P. Ross, Lane, and
Robinson, all of %, and Sikorski '23.
Among the other new men are Cortiss,
Axtell and Wilson of the freshman
class.

PREMIER PIANO DUO
COMING WEDNESDAY
Maier and Pattison Dazzled New York
Musical World

Middlebury and the surrounding
towns have a very unusual opportunity
in the coming of the two young men
Guy Maier and Lee Pattison. Their
constantly growing reputation of the
past several years at home and abroad
has been followed this fall by a SEN
sational success in New York and Bos-
ton We give below just two examples
of the criticism of their concert which
was given in October in Aeolian Hall
New York City.
New York Tribune's Estimate
"A rare treat was the concert OF
music for two pianos given by Guy
Maier and Lee Pattison Yesterday af-
ternoon at Aeolian Hall These two
young men, each an excellent pianist,
have developed their ensemble play
ing to such perfection that the two
instruments sound as one. Not only
did the symmetry of their playing,
their absolute precision and almost un-
canny unity in the appreciation of
rhythms Immediately appeal to the au-
dience, but the freshness and vitality
of their playing swept through the
hall like an invigorating breeze"
"Maier and Pattison Dazzle New York"
SO stands the heading of the critical
article in the issue of Musical America
of the week following the concert, The
critic goes on to say:
an the super excellence OF their
team work, Messrs Maier and Patti
son are probably without equals today.
Always excellent pianists they have,
nevertheless, grown startlingly since
they first appeared here a few years
ago. Indeed they have survived most
of their competitors who at that time
promised to give the practice of joint
piano recitals a commanding vogue.
They are now virtually its sole and
certainly its most accomplished ex-
ponents. And they have built NJ a
following that convincingly indicates
their pre-eminence.
Last week one marveled more than
ever at their uncanny unanimity, their
faculty of mordant rhythm, their mu,
tual sense OF intention, their unfalter-
ing precision and the immensely of
tonal volume achieved with little ap-
parent exerton. In musical signii-
canoe and beauty the effect of multi
Piled pianos is bound to be much
slighter than the effect of one. But
there is fascination of mechanical e.
feet, a bigness and icy brilliancy which
the lone instrument might strive for in
vain In the electrical virtuosity of
these Boston youths. these elements
find their ampleSt and most consistent
expression" Adv.

Farmers Forum

More emphasis, say the animal hus-
bandry men of the State College OF
Agriculture should be placed by the
average dairy man on the importance
of the use of a well bred bull, He will
pay $500 for a single service from
a good stallion and think nothing OF 1t.
He considers it an investment and feels
well repaid when he has raised nice
colt. Yet the same man seems to feel
that he can afford to use anything
that comes handy when he wants a
sire to head his herd of dairy cattle
The short sightedness of the use of a
scrub bull is too evident when one
stops to consider that over 20 per cent
of the states agricultural income
comes from her diaries. Dependent On
the dairy COW for a living as ne IS,
the Vermont farmer must give more
serious consideration to the improve
mcnt of his herd.

In this day of complicated machinery
most farmers probably give little
thought to the care of so simple an i'm
PIGMENT as a pillow. But more effort
has been expended in the slow process
of developing this seemingly simple tool
than in that of any other implement on
the farm. 1t is the basic tillage tool
the fundamental farm implement, and
it is richly entitled to be properly
cared for when not in use.

People; who are waiting for the rock
bottom price before buying, are like
ly to get caught in the end This is
a season when the initiation is being
knocked out of business but in only a
few lines are there manufactured stocks
in reserve. The rapid dropping of
prices is due to holdings that must be
gotten rid OF because the holders can
not possibly carry the load until the
new level is reached That this new
level will be considerably lower than
the inflated prices of the past four
years is certain, but it win not be as
low as many people imagine. Not a
few standard lines OF goods ar sell

iustment is reached.

To the Editor of The Register

The position taken by you in an
editorial in your last issue regarding
the fracas in the stores Saturday, No
vember ID, is everlastingly right. A
contemporaneous sheet in the Marble
City has seen fit to criticise your atti-
tude in the matter. However, it does
say the taxpayers Of Vermont have a
right to know how the students of the
University of Vermont conduct them
selves.
The students of our local college in
retraining from molesting the people of
the town are paying heed to the eau
ton often publicly and privately ex-
pressed by their honored president.

The idea that a bunch of college fell
lows who descend to hoodlumism, as
per the recent outbreak in Middle
bury, should not be publicly punished,
but dealt with gently by some of
their own kind. is of a niece with the
pardon of a governor who was con-
victed of theft on the ground that he
had already been sufficiently punished
by the notoriety given his case. 1t
means one kind of law and one kind of
justice for one class and something diff
ferent for another class. 1t is getting
to be a practice, with which the great
majority of people have little patience.
