commercial printing department.
The rapidly increasing circulation
of the Skyland Post, together with
our desire to place at the command
of our advertisers and others the
highest grade of Typography, induc-
ed us to secure fine composing ma
chine for the quick and accurate and
pleasing presentation of the news of
the day, and the production of SUI
perior. commercial printing.
Our new Linotype enables us to
\ set by machine many forms of COM
position that previously necessitated
tedious work by hand. Our plant is
now capable of turning out compo-
sition consisting of correct type
faces in many different sizes, and
the change from one size to another
is made very quickly. At high rate
of speed the versatile operator
whose hand is made famous by the
Mergenthaler Linotype Company as
"the hand that keeps the world in
formed"-produces line after line of
the sort of composition desired.
This installation is a testimonial
to the progressiveness of West jeff
erson and vicinity. And that the
good people of the community are
duly appreciative of our efforts to
serve them in all departments of the
printing business is manifested by
the many compliments received
from individual patrons since the
arrival of our new machine.
The accompanying illustration
will give our readers some idea of
the marvellous mechanism of the
Linotype, composing machine on
which are assembled matrices Tor
little brass molds) and lines of type
cast-lines such as you are now
reading.
Besides enabling the operator to
set various faces and sizes OF type,
our new Linotype makes it possible
for him to produce the rules and
dashes and borders used in various
advertisements in each issue of our
publication. When employed in the
composing of advertisements, news
paper heading, booklets, catalogs,
and many other kinds of printed
matter, our new machine enables
one operator to set in the same time
more type than ordinarily could be
produced by five or six men or
women doing the work by hand
and the composition is incomparably
better.
While for a long time we have re-
ceived the patronage of host of
subscribers, advertisers, and print
ing buyers in general, we look for
ward to the handling of an even
greater volume of business now that
we are so well qualified to render
the sort of service most to be de-
sired.
It has been our aim to present the
news of the day without fear or ia
vor, and to reflect faithfully the
ideals and ambitions of our consti-
tuents; and we shall continue to de-
vote our talents and resources to the
fulfilling of this aim. And of great
help to us in the carrying out of our
purpose will be our new Linotype.

With Trophies

Lansing, March BY defeating
the Healing Springs Highs 29-16 Sat-
urday night in the finals of the first

Conference Tournament held in the
A. S. T. c. gymnasium at Boone, the

down any games offered, and has
won all games played with teams
from six different counties: Ashe,
Watauga, Avery, Yadkin, Allegheny,
and Grayson (Va.) counties. The
strong Fries team, champions of
Grayson county, was defeated 1913,
while numerous other powerful
teams fell victims to the home

Several important cogs in the
Cavalier machine we're lost last
week, and Coach Tebell has been
hard at work drilling new men in
offensive and defensive tactics
designed especially to ground
the Flying Squadron. Saturdays
starting eleven will be we'll
sprinkled with boys of the sophie,
moric variety.
Four requirements have been
made ready to fill vacancies
caused by injuries and with
drawals.
But a big question still looms
at center, left open by AL Berkeley,
sophomore from Roanoke, who
had the job, and Steve Daven-
port, who could be called on to
move in from his post at left end.
Berkeley is out temporarily
with knee injury, and Davenport
was cut down for the season with
a broken leg received in the Wash
ington and Lee game.
The center job has been turned
over to Harry Wheeler, 184-pound
sophomore from Charlottesville,
who is a rugged player but not
free from certain weaknesses. The
last man now in sight for the posi-
ton is Kinsey SpotsWood, steady
little 160-pounder from Peters
burg.
Jimmy Sergeant, light but re-
markedly clever end from Char
lottesvile, appears to be the
man for Davenport's place, and
Leonard Trell, one of the ablest
linemen on the squad, has been
stationed at guard to take over
for Ray Schmidt, whose outside
work forced him to give up foot
ball.
Several reserve backs are being
tried but in the quest for a re-
placement for Capt. Harry Mar
tin, out for the season with a
broken leg, also dating from the
Washington and Lee fray. Harry
Tolin, Tommy King and Dick
Ely, varsity squad members from
last year, have been running with
Harry Dinwiddie, the high-class
sophomore paSSer.
The regular backs, Bus Male,
Peter Nistad and John AGREE, Will
be ready to go against the Cadets,
as we'll as the two big tackles,
Sanford Haskell and Billy Weeks.
The right-end position probably
will be divided between Woody
George and Knox Turnbull, who
will be the starter at left guard.

The football elevens Of Gallau-

College meet tomorrow afternoon
at HotchkisS Field. The teams are
light but fast and, on paper at
least, Wilson rates favorite.
Wilson's eleven will average
about 100 pounds. The line scales
at about 165 pounds to the man
and the backfield about 1855. Will
sons beat Bridgewater and the
latter defeated Gallaudet rather
handily. Wilson Gerald may be

tends to even the count somewhat.

BY DAVIS J. WALSH

BY DAVIS j. WALSH
NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-In g
still small voice, as though not
wishing to be overheard, this
difident witness is about to offer
a few strictly personal views upon
the merits of tomorrow's football
games and, as he does so, there
comes the feeling that a dark
flush is mantling his boyiSh cheek
Cheek? That seems to be the
right word.
Anyhow, he's picking right into
a winning streak of 81 straight
and naming Northwestern over
Minnesota in the football game OF
the day, the month and perhaps
the year.
Gophers Aren't Infallible
The Minnesota Northw S t err
idea is less bunch than a belief
in the formers fallibility. Frank
ly, it must stop blocking some
time and, in this connection, ]
would think it was cinch # it
beat Purdue by 9 to 6 instead OF
by 80 to 0 last Saturday. There
, is the psychic advantage repoSing
with Northwestern which has to
do with the fact that all the proof
rests with Minnesota and would
remind you, too, that the GopherS
can't be much better than they
were last year, whereas North
western is visibly improved. The
score last year was: Minnesota,
81; Northwestern, 10.
Trusting that I have made a
good case, although perhaps bad
selection, I am now prepared to
drop the matter and sincerely
hope you are the same.
FOrdham Gone Far Enough
Fordham, I'd say, has gone as
far as it's going to with the team
it happens to have and figures to
yield to Pitt. That's merely string
ing with form. However, I guess
there's nothing for it but to admit
that I'm launching one in calling
st. Mary's over Marquette and it's
possible that by Saturday morning
I may want to ask for a recount.
Temple over Holy Cross is another
bunch, based largely on the fact
that the only time the former mas
lost was when it tried to play two
games in five days.
On a line through Carnegie
Tech, the Crusaders figure here.
But if everything happened Jhe
way it should, we'd all get rich
and it would get on everybody's
nerves and everything.
FavOrs Santa Clara
I don't think Auburn's taking
quite enough with it all the way
out to the Coast to play Santa
Clara.
The rest of it, in case you care
very deeply, is as follows:
THE EAST-Pennsylvania over
Navy; Yale over Dartmouth;
Princeton over Harvard; Army
over Colgate; Cornell over Column
bia; Purdue over Carnegie Tech.
MIDDLE WEST-Ohio State

The visitors, who have won the
