| have bought the Gibson mill
property from Mr.. J. R. Bennett

all the mills and the cotton gin.
The wheat, corn and feed mills
are run by water; I have just put

you want some good burr flour
like your grandmother used to
have, bring me your wheat. If
you want good underground
meal, come to this mill and you
will get it. I am an experienced
workman and keep the mills and
cotton gin in fine condition. So
bring your wheat and corn to one
that knows how to grind it.

you will find me here every day.

knockout over Glenn johnson, South
American boxer. in the 18th round

! johnson was battered so badly that
he could not go on and the referee
stopped the bout one minute and -
seconds after the gong rang.
Johnson landed the first blow
right to the head. but with it vert
his courage. Wills crashed lcfts to
the body and had his opponent hug
glng him before the first round end
cd. Johnson landed two lefts to the
chest in the second but held most
of the way. Wills was warned for
hitting in the breakaways. Wills kept
pounding Johnson in the third. but
the South American managed to
stick through.
Johnson Rugged his way through
the fourth and dashed sharp left as
the fifth opened. Angered, Wills
smashed ponderous rabbit and kid
ney punches. rushing johnson to the
ropes. The latter's left eve was
closed.
Wills hammered Johnson without
mercy in the sixth but the latter
stuck gamcly.
Wills had Johnson groggy in the
seventh and as the round ended
Wills injured his right hand hittir
johnson on the head. Johnson
in l,,,f 4 IL,
Wills did most of his hitting with his
left in the eighth and did consider
able humping. When Johnson
rushed, Wills used both hands. The
South American apparently weak
cned. johnson was more feeble in
the ninth and twice Wills had him
staggering.
The emi-final bout scheduled for
l. rounds between Floyd Johnson. of

York. was stopped after two minutes
and IL seconds after the gong rang.
After Johnsons first blow, Allen
chung to the ropes turning his back
and cringing. The referee stopped
the bout, disqualifying Allen for in
ability and awarding the decision 20
Johnson.
Wills was tired and wild in the
tenth and Johnson was tottering, too
worn out TO lead. Johnson crashed
a pile driving right to Wills jaw as
the eleventh opened and Harry
smiled blandly. Wills landed often,
Johnson took the blows with a shud-
der. 1t was the same story in the
twelfth.
Wills met Johnson in his own cor
ner in the twelfth, sending rights
and lefts to the head and battcring
the South American around the ring.
Johnson was too weak to put up his
hands and Wills went at him relent-
lcssiy. Finally Johnson fell back to
the ropes and. turning his back, bur
led his head in his arms. Wills
stepped back and the referee walked
between the two men, ending the
bout.

Athletics at U. of NJ,


University of Maine, Orono, Ne,
Sept. 29-At the first meeting of the
athletic board the following officers
We're elected Prof. Grover, chairman;
W. d. ToNner. treasurer; and Jim
Blair, secretary. This board is made
UP Of three members Of the faculty.
three alumni, four undergraduate
trustees.
The matter of cross country dual
meets was brought up and it was
voted not to hold any due to the
lack of competition. Maine has al
ways had a team which ranks with
the best and the only available OPP
pononts would not afford the team
anything more than workout.
A strong team will be sent to the
State meet at Lewiston and to the
New England meet at Boston. With
these two meets the squad will be in
fine shape for the national meet The
schedule is as follows:
Nov. State meet at Lewiston.
Nov. 11-New England Intercol-
itS icttt tIbSS-tOuDtIN run at boston.
Nov. 1S-I. c. A. A. A. A. cross
country run.
The board instructed the graduate
manager TO make arrangements for
the football training table in Hanni-
hal Hamlin hall. IN this way the
players will be under the supervision
of the coaches and trainer and black
board talks and skull practice will
be in order.
After this week the football team
will hold secret practice four times
week. On only two days, to be an
nounced later. will the public be ad-
mittcd to the field This is necessary
in view of the hard schedule ahead.
James S. Brooks of the department
of engineering has been appointed
assistant coach of the cross country
team and will greatly help Coach
Flack with his large squad.
To take the place Of dual meets
several inter- class runs will be held
In this way it is hoped to furnish
enough competition to make the team
ready for the scheduled meets.
