Before a crowd of 10000
fortunate ticket holders, the
football eleVens representing
Boston College and Holy Cross
will furnish a truly great dis.
play of do or die football, in
order to determine whether
or not the team from the
Heights is to remain unde-
feated for their 1912 season.
Fenway Park is the place,
Saturday the day, and the
time is 1880.
Denny Myers is confident
that if his boys play the game
that they are capable of play
ing, the outcome will never be
in doubt. This football classic,
which has stolen the limelight
from all other New England
contests, may be the last such
event we will witness for the
duration.
For most of the stars who
are participating in this
game this contest will be the
last football game of their
career. Very little has been
mentioned of the fact that
most of the players are enlist
ed in some branch of the
fighting forces reserve corps,
and many of them will be
called to active duty after the
first Of the year. One thing is
certain. If these lads carry
the same spirit they have
demonstrated each Saturday,
and remember that they do
not play to lose when they are
on the firing line for their
country, just the same as on
the gridiron, we can rest as
sured that football has done
its share for the war effort.
The boys from Holy Cross
can be relied on to give their
very best against the present
champions, and we feel that
the game will be a thriller
from start to finish. Ank Scan
Ian has whipped his team to
the finest condition they have
been in this year, and he can
upset the Myers outfit if his
squad hits a peak game. Girl
gas, Bezemes and Murphy are
not second raters in our book,
and anything can happen.
We do not believe that Bos-
ton College will be beaten, but
we do expect that the B. c.
fans will suffer many an ark
iouS moment before the game
is over. Brockton fans may
have a chance to see their own

Unless he has changed since

acclaimed as a man of intense

Few places in Boston can
rival the many racial and in

Armstrong Hemenway Founoa-
ton which to my mind makes
an excellent headquarters for
the local branch NAACP.

as a freedom-ground where
such things simply can net
happen. Whether we like it or
not, such things have been
happening, they continue to
hapen, and unless we keep
perpetually on guard they ale
going to KEEP on happening.
The stark and simple truth
is that not since Monroe Trot-
ter has Boston had a Free

Whether the fault lies in the

fact remains that militant col

Bernie will give a good account
of himself if the opportunity is
presented. 1t is a fact that the
B. G. team has played better
ball when the opponents are
more determined, and from
past games between these two
colleges we know that this one
will be no pink tea party. The
biggest mistake that the Scan
Ian coached gridsters can make
is to start playing rough
against this B. C. team, and
we are quite sure that this
advice will not be taken. Myers
and his smooth working ma
chine deserve to win, and we

most interesting game of tie

BEAUTY HINTS
By NINA TEMPLE

IF YOU ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL
If you are not beautiful do
something about it. Don't be
lazy and just wish you were
attractive or lovely like some
Of your friends, but get busy
and do the little things that
make you beautiful. Take the
simple lip-stick. How many
women who are no longer
young are ashamed to use this
simple little device to add a
touch of color to their pale
lips. It is a gallant thing to
arm yourself with this small
aid and make your lips warm
ly red. No matter how old you
are be brave enough to help
yourself to beauty.

dressed the audience on significance
Of Columbus Day to this hemisphere.
The speech, delivered in Spanish,
was translated into English by DR..
William Manger, councillor of the
Pan-American Union.
Miss Caraza established herself as
an artist Of wide versatility in pro-
gram that combined operatic arias
with the songs of Latin American
composers. Her voice is an unusual
one for its size and brilliancy and
could easily fill a hall twice the size
OF that at the union. Moreover, its
pliability is sustained throughout its
wide range providing a rare COM
bination OF power, restraint and
warmth.
For her opening number the artist
chose the "Vissi darte" aria from
Puccinis "Tosca," singing 1t with
admirable poise and tremendous ef-
tect in its finale. Having established
the full scope of her vocal range and
strength in this one number, the
delicacy and ease with which she
gave Strauss Tales from the
Vienna Woods Immediately follow
ing was a revelation of her artistic
capabilities. The first group, more
pretentious in character than the
remainder of the program, concluded
with the lovely "Romanza" from the
opera "Keofar" by the Mexican
composer Villanueva.
While Miss Caracas reputation as
one OF the leading artists OF her
country could not be questioned after
her initial offerings, 1t was in the
simpler songs that followed that
the full statue of her art could be
appreciated. Hearing her sing, and
declaim, for the verses were spoken
and the refrain sung, Lecuona's
Maria Ia o" was an experience not
likely to be soon forgotten.
The moving warmth of her voice
In changing registers which give
such telling effect to this song and
her power Of emotional projection
created profound impression. The
same was true Of her singing OF
Freire's popular GAY, Ay, Ay," and
of "Quiero estar sola,' by Alberto
Mejia of Peru. 4
The singer had programmed Her
bert's Kiss Me Again" as concluding
number of this group but it was
eliminated to allow the audience to
hear the Presidents speech, which
was tuned in to the Hall Of the
Americas. At its conclusion, Miss

Sally West Gives Recital,
Preceding the concert at the
Union was the piano recital given
by Sally West at Barker Hall. The
program was the completion of the
requirements for bachelor of music
degree which was conferred on Miss
West by the Washington Musical
Institute, where Miss West has re-
ceived a considerable part of her
training.
The young pianist is highly gifted
with musical feeling and a sure and
facile technique. Throughout, her
intelligent approach in interpreta-
ton, her scholarly care for detail
and the varied coloring she brought
to her agreeable tone were con-
stantly in evidence In presenting
works by Mozart, Mendelssohn and

ing characteristics of each and

4 visitor to Egypt may see the
people following ancient customs,
For example, they still use the
"shadoof.''
A sl1adoof is device for raising
water from one level to another. A
pole serves as a lever, and at one
end of it is a kind of pail. At the
other end is weight. perhaps moth
ing more than ball of dry mud.
The pole is balanced on board or
cross piece. The pail is lowered
into the water, then is raised with
the help of the weight on the other
end of the pole
Present-day shadoofs are some
what better made than those Of
ancient times. Yet they are built
on the same principle.
If a nation does not change its
ways, it tends to move toward de-
cay and death. Only by progress of
some kind can it live through the
centuries.
To a certain extent, Egypt has
let the rest of the world go by.
Five thousand years ago it was the
greatest country in the world. 1t
was a leader in making metal tools
in working with glass and in the
art of writing. We may thank the
ancient Egyptians for much of the
work which gave us our alphabet.

Yet of all the lands I have visited
I have found Egypt the most inter-
esting. Pyramids, sphinxes, huge
statues of kings and walls of ancient
temples are there to be seen and
studied. The museum at Cairo,
with its rich store of treasures from
King Tut's tomb, is one of the best
historical museums to be found any,
where.
Egypt is an extremely old country.
Only China and Irak can lay claim
to as long a history and neither of
them has as clear story as Egypt.
To live so long is in itself a proof
Of a nations strength.
Some steps have been taken in
Egypt to meet the needs of the
modern world. Railways have been
laid between the larger cities and
they handle a large volume of
freight and passenger traffic.
Another forward step has been
the building of Aswan Dam. This
dam is the largest in Africa and We
shall speak of it more fully in our
story tomorrow.
