candidates for the position. George

on their own Judgment in the mat

Pittsburgh, Frank Kavanaugh OF
Boston College, Tad Jones OF Yale.
Howard Jones, 1928 coach Of
Iowa, and Charley Moran, who
built up the Centre College team.
Georgetown has announced that
the candidacy of Little met with
much more support from these men
than any Of the other applicants.
He has played under some OF the
ablest mentors Of the gridiron. At

1915 to 1919, he was instructed by
Bob Folwell. Buck Wharton, Carl

Penn in 1919, Little took charge OF

through two years with only one
defeat charged against 1t.

only one defeat. In 1922 he was
offered a position as assistant coach

men during the season through in.

One Of these was Paul Florence,

season.

the limerick fever which is spread
ing over Washington.
When Skillet" Finn, Esq, visited
the radio show night before last
and saw that mob on the inside and
outside, he scratched his sparcely
covered dome and said to himself,
said he, there won't be many
limericks tomorrow; for half Of
Washington is at this show instead
of home writing limericks."
But such was not the case; for
yesterdays morning mail came
over from the pOstOffice in q
five-ton truck, as usual, and in
cluded in the burden was some
very excellent stuff ON Shad Roe,
the results Of which will be re-
leased for public masticatiOn to-
morrow.
But today Skillet" wishes to
broadcast the merits of the limerick
last lines submitted by the ladies
in question; all of which goes to
show that women have just as
much Of an opportunity in this
lHtle game as the men, although
the latter are generally accepted
| to constitute the great majority Of
baseball fandom.
Miss Heinrich, who sends her
limericks in on beautiful robin-egg
blue correspondence cards with gilt
edges, submitted this for. her four
| tickets:
HI. GagnOn who's known here as
Chick,
Has knees with terrible trick,
He goes for a ball
| His knee spOils 1t all.
Old Charley-hOrse Chick, you must
stick.
Miss Folsom, who, on the other
hand, subscribes to the theory that
white stationery makes a good
background for neat typewriting,
ended her limerick to wit:
But look how he yields the
tOothpick."
| Today's other two winners are
strictly Of the masculine gender,
which evens up the menu very
nicely for one day and gives nobody
cause for complaint.
From Edward Lee Bennett, who
signs himself "Civil Service Com
mission, although we doubt he is
the whole shebang, comes this
ending:
"a glove on his knee would be
slick"
SO it looks as though there would
be at least one member Of the
Civil Service Commission in "Skil-

seemed to hit the nail right on the
head. What do you fans think Of
this one:
"They should be made nOcIdess

That reads very cleverfy off the
preceding part Of the limerick and
pleased the judges very much II for
no other reason than that.

This system has recently been

This system is also used in the

Building and Bureau of Engraving

practically all of the larger banks

With this system a general alarm
of the community will be given in
case anyone tampers with the vault

All of the robberies and hold-ups

"The mid-winter meeting will be
held in Bates Chapel Lewiston, Jan.
9th, 1924, by invitation of the Wo-
mans Literary Union of Androscoggin
County. The business meeting will
open at 10 o'clock. The heads of
departments will outline their years
work and as many club reports will
be given as time permits At 2
o'clock Thomas Mott Osborne will
speak on Prison Reform, after which
tea will be served by the ladies of the
Androscoggin Union. Reduced rates
will be given on the railroads.
(Signcd) Sarah p. Reed,
Corresponding Secretary
The business meeting at 10 o'clock
will he an important one although
no action is taken. but an opportunity
for conference is offered and the dis
cussion held at the mid-winter meet
ing which is TO be held in Portland.
The opportunity for the members to
meet each other, both socially and at
the conference hour. is one that is
much appreciated. 1t is understood
that there will be large attendance.
The committee on the book Where
North Winds Blow. is still working
hard to sell the Nook for the benefit
of the endowment fund, and will re-
port progress at the coming confer
ence but will ask that every club will
do its best to dispose of every book
on hand.
The meeting of the executive board
at the Dewitt House on the evening of
January Sth, will be an important one
as there is much to come up this
year in the way of business for the
board.
An important feature of the plans
for the future will be the work of the
committee for at the Bar
Harbor meeting in September it was
voted to have such a committee to be
formed of former presidents, these
presidents to organize to carry for
ward work that has been left over and
particularly to follow such matters as
have been inauguratCd by one board,
this idea having originated because
some matters in the past, inaugural
ed by some special board, had been
overlooked by some incoming board.
The continuation committee is en-
tircly a new feature and it is hoped
will work out for the best interests of
the Federation. II has been felt by
the members as a whole that no one
is more interested in the success of
the Maine Federation work than are
those women who have stood at its
head.

decorations Of sweet peas were most
elaborate. In the center of the table
