couldn't stop him. From where I
sat it looked as though he was
doing his best.
But there were other things be-
side Notre Danes belated awak-
ening in a season in which Lady
Luck leaped from one pair Of
arms to another with the rapidity
Of popular debutante at tag
dance. For one thing it will be
remembered as the football year
the sun Shone on.
Became a Fan
So far as the Atlantic seaboard
was concerned, at any rate, one
fine Saturday followed the next
until the only reasonable eXplana-
ton was that the Weather Man
had become a red hot fan. This
is more important to those of us
who follow the gridiron wars with
portable typewriters than to the
paying guests.
It is next to impossible to write
a decent story with numb fingers
and a mind that is even more
thoroughly CONCEALED than usual,
and it is against the rules to
bring a depot stove into these
nice air-cooled press boxes we are
afforded here in the East. The
only other alternative is some sort
of liquid warmer to be taken inter
nally.
But this is dangerous and re-
quires the most careful sort of
adjustment, since it is possible to
thaw out the alleged mind to the
point where it will dictate that
the thawee go out and dance
around the goal posts with the
other little "free souls" and take
a hand in the pleasure fighting
that has come to be the fifth
period of most football games.
This leaves the reporters work
for other froze fingers to do, and
is not considered exactly CONNIE
il faut in our set. In this way
pleasant weather makes it un-
necessary for a fellow to take a
nip now and then in self defense
and, looking back over my own
schedule of games, do not recall
having taken drink, or having
seen fellow member of the work
ing press take one. Is old age
softening the boys up, I wonder?
Anyhow, put that in your records,
PopSy. It probably constitutes an
all time high-or low.
Tigers Best in East.
Another thing you can put
into the final record is that
Princeton. coming back from close
to gridiron oblivion almost over
night, had the best team in the
East. 1t was also, unless my
memory is slipping a cog some
where, the only major eleven in
the country that came through
the year unbeaten and united.
Fritz Crisler has turned in
great job as head coach at Mas.
sau, and we repeat here now
what we said in October: Only
the toughest sort of break will
cause the Tiger to be beaten in
the next two years. We originally
said three years, but we have
one of 'em in the bag now.
Thus Yale takes the place Of
Princeton as the member of the
once Big Three that is deepest in
the gridiron doldrums. Crisler
fiddles while Yale burns, in other
words. The old grads burn at
the successive defeats, and the
coaching system. the authorities
burn at the old grads, and all
concerned burn at me for calling
their team "the laughing YaleS,"

PROSPERITY RULES BY
LAW in PACIFIC ISLE
(Ry Associates Prexsl

AUCKLAND, New Zealand,
Feb. 17.-Poverty is a criminal
offense on the beautiful Pacific
island of Tonga, 1900 miles
northwest of Auckland.
A compulsory prosperity law is
in force on the island and it is re-
garded as a most serious offense
to break it.
The prime minister of Tonga,
Prince Tugi, who is also consort
of Queen Salote Tubou, explained
the system when he visited Auck-
land while escorting his son to
Newington College, Sydney.
He says that the law requires
that when a Tonga youth reaches
the age of 16 he shall receive
eight and a quarter acres of land
from the state.
Eight acres Of this he must
plant as an insurance against
starvation. The other quarter of
an acre is a building plot in the
village, and he has to put up a
home on it.
When a man dies, the land re-
verts to the crown and is allotted
again.

New Antiseptic
Cuts Gargling
Costs In Half!
Five Million Trial Bottles of
Vicks Antiseptic Furnish
Proof of Its Quality-and
It's Amazing Economy!
GUARANTEED BY DRUGGISTS

The makers of Vicks VapoRub
have produced an antiseptic which
does everything that a gargle or
mouthwash can and should do
at half the usual price of other
quality antiseptics. The name of
this new product is Vicks Vora-
tone Antiseptic.
Of course, the only real proof
of its quality and amazing
economy is actual use. To furnish
this proof, Vicks Chemists sup
piled to druggists-at less than
costs million special trial bot
tles-a 25c value for 10c. These
trial bottles have gone SO quickly
that this offer is now made:
If your druggists supply of the
trial size is exhausted, get one of
the 35c bottles. Use it a week.
Then, if you are not delighted
with its quality, and amazing
economy, your money will be re-
funded.
Mild Enough, Strong Enough
No extravagant claims are made
for Vicks Voratone. 1t is simply
the best oral antiseptic Vicks
Chemists could produce--and they
were aided by the chemists, bacte-
biologists and pharmacologists OF
their 16 allied organizations here
and in Europe.
They created balanced anti
septic-mild enough to be used
day in and day out without risk
to delicate membranes; yet strong
enough TO do everything that an
oral antiseptic can and should do.
For All Customary Uses
You can use Viclxs Antiseptic,
in your customary way, for bad
breath (halitosis) /; as a gargle; as
mouthwash; as an antiseptic
lotion; and for all the other GUS
tomary uses.
And Vicks Antiseptic has this
additional unique advantage
