A Clearly Played Game

Though Middlebury might have
made more of her possibilities in the
Norwich game last Saturday, thereby
adding materially to the spirit Of the
contest, nevertheless the crowd was
treated to a clearly played game be-
tween two evenly matched teams which
are contenders for the state grid cham
pionship Middlebury out-rushed the
Cadets throughout the game, several
times keying the hopes of the support
ers of the Blue and threatening the
Norwich goal with a touchdown that
somehow or other simply could not
materalize. However, victory came
in a dramatic moment in the last per
iod of play when the pig skin, trailing
through the air behind that decisive
drop kick, knuckled to the goal post,
poised for an instant, and then para
chuted quietly to the ground,
Presidents Bailey, Moody and Plum
lev were all there and seemed to enjoy
the game immensely. They make
fine looking trio and Vermont has rea-
son to feel proud of the heads of her
three institutions of higher learning.
BY the way, the enterprising staff
photographer on The REGISTER Sc
cured an excellent picture of the three
presidents standing together and smil-
ing graciously in the warm autumn sun.
1t is really very good picture. We
will show it to you later on.

A Panacea Discovered

There is really no more use for hot
lemonades, alcohol rubs and quinine.
Brother Belknap, Of the Bellows Falls
Times has discovered that colds dis
appear as by magic when one climbs
to the high attitudes Of Mansfield, and
he produces no less a parsonage than
his ENcellency, Gov Hlrtnes>, as a
testimonial for the sure-cure
The Times maintains that the Gov
ernor was suffering acutely with a cold
which vanished the moment the dizzy
heights were reached The Times goes
ON to suggest the formation OF the
League to Eliminate Colds, whose es-
pecial work shall be to provide rapid
transit to the chin" for all sufferers
If the Times could only induce the
Governor to become president of the
League the rapid transit problem
would be no problem at all His EX-
cellency would surely provide a land
ing place for aviators on the crest,
even though it did take a few thous-
and feet of number one hemlock plank.

Motor Truck Transportation

The impending countrywide railway
strike has led the press into many
conjectures as to the results, both i'm
mediate and far reaching, should the
plans of the strikers reach cOnsuma-
ton.
In general discussion of the pro-
blem in the Free Press, in which the
crudite Southwick, even, admits the
completely OF the many-sided situa-
ton, there is significant statement
when President Loree OF the Delaware
and Hudson is quoted as saving that
"motor trucks will enable the rail
roads to beat the strike"
This is quite possible, but going still
further, the truck may be the means
Of eventually Gripping the railroads
t0ore permanently than strikes could
ever cripple them. The Free Press goes

Of three soldiers. Adam Mikillwcz.

1t IS alleged by the Legion attorney
that the three are totally disabled as
a result Of insanity. The government
insurance bureau, Mr.. Littletield charg-

IN private hospitals. II Attorney Lit
