IN BLUE CAMP

frozen condition of the field convinced
him that to put them thru a hard
scrimmage might result in a few I'M
timely injuries.
The men are working hard to fix
up the odds and ends of the signals
and put themselves in readiness for
tomorrow's game. With a bunch of
new plays completely mastered by the
Blue fighters, and each play a dinger,
the dope looks slightly shady for a
Presbyterian victory. Altho no snap
is expected out of the battle, the

at will take a lot of hard work on
our part, coupled with a good bit of
luck, to swing the big end of the
score our way" said Captain Stevens,

have even more luck, to swing it their
way" Stevens expresses the senti-
ment of the entire Blue aggregation.
They realize that they will have to
work, and they are ready and anxious
to have the chance to show the old
grads, who will be on hand for the
game. that they have the old time
stuff.
Heavy Irwin, who is playing a stellar
game at the pivot position, calls to
mind the playing Of Forrest Rice, a
center on the 1915 Blue champion
ship team. Rice had the same aggres-
siveness. the same good natured dis
position, and played just as good a
game, as the nervy center of this year.

weight, tipping the beam at ITO, and
Rice in his playing days weighed in at
about 100. All of which goes to prove
that the old tradition which proclaims
that a center should have all kinds of
beef, is slightly off.

SEEK FOR BURIED TREASURE
Canadians Believe They Have De.
vice That Will Unfailingly Dis
close Concealed Hoards.

Pinning their faith on the powers
of a newIy-invented device for the
detection of gold deposits, Andrew
Cullins. a well-known prospector OF
Haileybury, Canada, and Rev. Father
Theriault of the same town plan u
trip to the South Pacific Islands TO
search for buried treasure, according
to q Joint statement they made recent
~ I'm Ottawa. 1t was said that the
! trip was being financed by New York
capitalist. whose name was not dls-
closed. and the fortune seekers were
TO confer with him before setting on
on the long hunt.
fest of the machine was said to
have been made recently In Toronto
by hiding gold coins in a house, ana
the device indicated the presence OF
the money
According TO the report of friends
of Mr.. Culins, the invention, II II
,nroyes successful, will be of more
lvelue In a search such as is planned
than In indicating gold locations In
the mining districts, because In search
ing; for gold-bearing veins 1t will not
determine the quantities or depth at
which the metal would be found, and
therefore the operators would not
know whether It would be In sufficient
quantities to justify development
This is given as the reason of the
inyentor in searching for hidden treas.
'ure from foundered ships or buried by
pirates in the South Sc Islands.
