land it was at the time in my eight

Strange as it was, it is no less
strange than true. There never has
been any explanation of the myste-

principle.
It could be heard at intervals for
twelve months, but during two weeks

aware of, since October, 1929.

drive you away" it was understood
to reply ''Do if you dare" During the
conversation with it, which lasted
about an hour, no person was present
except Mr.. Burnett's wife, Mr. Shep-
herd and Mr.. Hodges, with the sHall
children. The oldest was the little
girl above mentioned, who was in the
ward with the little children No one
was inside of the house except the hit
tie boy who asked the questions The
reason why he was put thHre to ask
questions was, because for some TIME
if had ceased to speak to any but the
children. There were also in the
kitchen a negro woman, and an idiot
girl, spinning and weaHing, who,
could not have heard what passed IN
the house. The two older sons were
absent at work in the farm. Me- 5.

that wouldn't do. 1t then whistled
Yankee Doodle very distinctly.
When Mr.. H. first heard Of the
circumstance he very naturally was

Oct 2s. = Bart mouth'a football squad, twenty-nine strong. left here yesterday afternoon tor the big game of the year Saturday against Cornell at Ithaca A monster send-off was given the team by 2,OO0 students, who lined the road from tho gymnasium to the station, and cheered tho squad aa. it passed by. Before leaving, Coach Cannell made the fol- lowing: statement:
 Wa are going into the game with g. badly crippled team. but we expect to fight our hardest against a veteran machine and the highest scoring team oi ths season
 Optimism, however, is the keynote among the students themselves, some 300 of who are following the team to Ithaca. Despite the absence of Cap tain Jim Robertson from the backfield, of Taylor at guard and possibly of Hurd, there ia distinct feeling O.. confidence. perhaps because of the five straight victories this year and the fact that the Green has come out on top in the last two games with Cornell.

AMERICAN GRIT
Brocker, Driscoll and Lowe, World War Veterans, Play Football Despite Injuries Sustained cover There'.

New York, Oct. 28.-That is takes moro than war injuries to stop a real football player is being exenIplifed in more than one instance on American gridiron, thiJ fall.
 Brocker a Harvard line candidate is one A. E. F. buddy who wouldn't say die even though German bullets put him under for a while. In 1918 he was regarded highly in the fresh man line Then he went to France where he was wounded in both legs But Brocked wouldn't stay down. His health has been regained and his pa tient watches on the sidelines have given him that valued asset coaches call football brains E..
 Mike Driseoll. who as a second lieu tenant Tn the Second division, was wounded at Bel1eau Wood, was an amateur boxer of no mean ability be- fore the war. He not only has taken up boxing again, but is out with the Georgetown football squad at Wash ington.
 Bill Lowe, former Fordham and Exeter tackle, although wounded twice by machine gun fire, holds down the right end position on Jim Thorpe's Canton Bulldogs.

Tigers Stars Back

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 28.-The las scrimmage before Saturdays gam with Virginia found Princeton's grid iron warriors in improved form yes terday. While the varsity was able to obtain only one touchdown in the course of the proceedings, it displayed 8 fight and snap which have beer lacking for some time. Waddy Mac Phee, who had taken Lourie's place at quarterback, won scoring honors wher he snatched a long, forward pass on a dead run and stumbled over the goa line.
 { For the first time in two weeks tn undergraduate body was admitted
 to University Field, and their enthusi
 asm undoubtedly contributed to the
 vim displayed in play. Cheering news
 came from the coaching staff wher
 it announced that despite Lourie's and Garritys absence from scrim mage the two stars will be in the lineup which will face the Southerners tomorrow Gilroy is also to be back at his olf place. To the surprise of the rooter' it now seems certain that Jack C1eave: is to complete the quartet instead O. Ken Smith, as had been predicted.
