MANICURE NEEDED

IN NE of the allegations made by
Hubbard is that the Prince
- ton athletes paw and scratch
their adversaries, Being Tigers,
,lat is not at all unusual.
However, the new Harvard code
should call for manicurist as one
Of the attendants, feminine of
course. 1t should be the duty OF
the fem" manicurist TO see that
the nails of all the athletes were
rendered smooth and painless prior
to the start of the game.
In addition. there should be a
matchmaking whose duty it would
lie to supply the boys with lipsticks
powder and hair slickcd between
halves.
Personal appearance would be
given serious consideration by the
officials in reaching a decision as
to the winner.

OHIO STATE is VICTOR
Minnes0ta's Final Rally Falls Short
by Two-Point Margin.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Jan. 81
Ohio State chalked up its second VIC
tory over Minnesota here Saturday
night, 1881. 1t was the seventh
straight loss for the Gophers. The
locals staged a last desperate rally
in the closing minutes of the con-
test, but which fell short by the
scant margin of two points.
Bitterness, with thirteen points,
led the Gophers, while Hunt and Nc
MILAN starred for the Buckeye out

FISTIC METHODS

UBBARD also contends the
III Princeton players slug, max
- ing it point to direct their
punches at a vital spot. He cites
many broken noses as Exhibit A.
If this be true, then a fight ref
cree should be added to the list of
officials who preside over the va
rious college football games.
The selection of a fifth official
in the person of a fight referee
would insure competent handling
of all plays in which the question
of smuggling was raised.
incidentally, this might speed up
he games, for by adhering to the
rules of the prize ring any player
who spent more than ten seconds
ON the ground would be'counted out.
