Davis Cup Team
Selection Still
Away Up in Air
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH.

NEW YORK, Aug. TN spite OF
the fact that plans have been made
TO make known the personnel OF
the Davis cup team by Thursday.
It is a matter OF common knowledge
that the selection committee is no
nearer definite decision than II was
six months age. Then, as always.
u knew that William j. Tilden and
William NJ. Johnston would be two
OF the nominees. That WAS as GER
tain as sin itself.
that the choice of the men TO COM
However. II was not as certain
plete the four-man team lay. be-
tween Lawrence williams. Watson
Washburn and Vincent Richards. II
still lies among them, unfortunately.
The committees problem deals
only with the practicability of either
Tilden and Richards or williams and
Washburn as doubles combination
and tho outcome of two recent
trials In which each won a match,
has only served to confuse the issue.
There is. according to reports, a
rather definite leaning toward will
liams and Washburn on the part
Of the committee.

COUNTY ALUMNI
j. Y. NJ. ORGANIZE
Pres. Bailey Present At For
nation of Association
In VergenneS

An enthusiastic meeting of the Addi-
son COUNTY alumni of the University of
Vermont was held last night in Yer
gennes, when they organized an Add
son County Alumni association. There
were % alumni present,
A banquet was served in Grange hall
The speakers were Pres. Guy W Bailey
of the University, James B. Jennings
editor of Alumni Notes and John BaX-
endale, secretary of the alumni, of Bur
lington. H. w. Wheelock acted as
POSTMASTER
After the banquet the association or
ganized with these officers: President,
II. V. Wheelock of Vergennes; Vice
President, {. l. Button of Midd!ebury
Secretary and Treasurer, Miss Emma
Fuller of Middlebury. The executive
committee is composed of the officers
and also includes in addition Supt
Beebe of Bristol and A. B. Delano of
Shoreham.
No definite plans for future meetings
were made but there was considerable
discussion of the purpose of the asso-
citation and 1t was stated that the for
nation of Vermont alumni in Addison
county would be OF benefit in bringing
about cooperation between the gradu-
ates and ex-students of Vermont and
Middlebury College. The new organi-
zatiOn will in no way interfere with OF
affect the activities of Middlebury.
There are about 60 graduates and ex-
students of the University of Vermont
now residing in Addison county, it was
stated, and it is believed that they will
all become members Of the association
Those attending the meeting from
Middlebury were Judge c, I. Button,
DR.. P. L. Dorey, |. n Bartlett, F. R
Churchill, Miss Emma Fuller and Al
len R. Sturtevant.

What is probably the most preten-
tions football schedule ever attempted
by the little college on the hill", and
certainly the hardest announced by
anv of the smaller colleges this year,
was announced for Middlebury this
week by Coach Dave Morey.
The schedule starts with game with
Harvard on September 30 and ends
with the Vermont game November Is
at Middlebury. There are eight games
in The schedule, made up of three at
home ani five abroad. mportan t
changes and improvements over last
years 81 edule are the addition of
Penn St. Tufts and Columbia and
the dropp g of Clarkson, St, Lawrence
and West Point. Especially significant
are the games with Penn State and
Columbia. The Penn State contest
will be PLAYED at Penn State during
Alumni week, which is considered an
especially favored position with the
Eastern championship eleven. Then
too the Columbia game, which is to
be played in New York is anothe- m
portant contest as it comes on Armis-
tice day 1t was further announced that
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1922-01-20

the opener with Harvard would be a
single game and not a double header
as last year,
The list of home games is also a big
Improvement over last yeear To be-
gin with there are three games instead
of two, and they include Williams, the
newcomer Tufts, and the Vermont
game
The game with Williams at Middle
bury is bound to be an interesting con-
test inasmuch as Middlebury downed
the Purple warriors last fall on Weston
field : to 3 Another good contest on
Porter field will be the game with
Tufts, an addition to the schedule,
Dartmouth is retained and Middle
bury will meet the Green at Hanover
as they did last season.
The heavy schedule for next season
calls for one hundred per cent backing
by both the alumni and undergraduate
bodies, which means that it will be
necessary to secure men of both aca
demic and football ability, who have
had experience. There is also Contem-
plated a more complete enrollme't : of
the members of the three upper classes
among the list of football candidates.

Burnell Ford Coming Here
Under Auspices of Amer
lean Legion

Burnell r. Ford, the electrical sci
enlist who is to appear in the Middle
bury Opera house Tuesday evening,
January a. under the auspices OF the
Middlebury Post OF the American Le-
gion, has been called by many critics
the Edison of the Platform" The
local Legion Post has secured Mr..
Ford for the next to last number on
their course at considerable expense
and they appeal to the people of Mid
dlebury and vicinity to support this
highly entertaining and instructive
platform feature.
Mr. Ford is a recognized inventor
who has an established standing in
the scientific world. He divides his
time between the laboratory and the
platform. The exact program he gives
depends somewhat upon the local con-
ditions, but whatever he decides upon
for his Mddlebury appearance, his en-
tertainment will be replete with vivid
sensations, keen humor and thorogh-
ly understandable explanations OF sci
entic fact.
In the course of the entertainment,
Mr. Ford uses a great deal of special
equipment. By it the ordinary electric
current is increased to millions OF volts,
and with this Mr.. Ford toys with as
founding manner. Among the expert
ments which are sure to create wonder
are, lighting a candle from a stream
of water, welding of metals held in the
teeth of the performer, the current
passing through his body, lighting OF
electric lights by the current sent
through the bodies of boys that volun-
teer for the experiment, the lighting of
paper or candle from the clothing, and
the finger tips, or even the tip OF the
tongue, and many other interesting and
astounding exhibitions, all of which are
explained by Mr. Ford, making the
evening one of real educational value.
Mr.. Ford's achievements first gained
nation wide prominence when the gov
ernment accepted in its national sani-
tarium an apparatus of his invention
for successfully treating the great
White Plague He was one of the in
ventors who were called to Washington
