The wet weather and grass has
so completely absorbed the time and
attention of farmers during the last
week, or SO, that nothing has been
said about boil weevil i~nfestation.
Nevertheless, / was talking to a
farmer this week and he told me
practically every square on some old
cotton he had were punctured and
some of his late cotton showed bud
injury from this insect.
Of course it is unpredictable as
to whether we will have rainy
weather during July and early
August and plent of boil weevils, or
if the rains will stop pretty soon
and give us some hot weather dur
ing the time our cotton is putting
on a crop. In the case of the latter,
we will not need to fight the weevil,
but it win be necessary to do some
thing about this pest if rainy
weather continues through the sea-

Yale Runs Roughshod
Over Dartmouth for
First Ivy Loop Win
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. a.
Yale won its first Ivy League victory
of the season by defeating Dart
mouth today, SO to 2. the most deci-
sive margin of victory over Its tradi-
tional northern rival since 1896 when
the Ellis won ~ to O.
Yale stopped Dartmouth's air at
tack by the simple device of inter-
cepting passes and on three occa-
sions interruptions were directly
turned into touchdowns.
Despite the one-sided contest, q
capacity crowd of $1,000 stayed In
the Yale Bowl almost to the very
end in the expectation that Dart
mouth, as it always had done in the
past, would unleash an attack.
The only brilliant Dartmouth
squirt came at the very start of the
second half when Conrad Pensavelle
ran So yards to the Yale IS only to
have Robert Furse of Yale intercept
two plays later.
Levi jackson, the New Haven
"townie" Negro, and Ferd Nadhenry
both freshmen, spanked the Yale at
tack. Jackson's longest effective run
was 80 yards, but in the fourth quar-
ter he scampered like distance
through the line to cross the goal
line only to have the touchdown
nullified by an offside penalty.
Then John Ferguson, 173-pound
Yale back, made the longest run OF
the game when he went SO yards to
score. 2. ts
Dartmouth's two points came in
the final period as the result of pen
alties that forced Ferguson to at
tempt to kick from behind his goal
line. The pass from center was poor
and went into the end zone.
