Yesterday afternoon the Columbia High Capitals found it a hard task to defeat the Biddies at the field house, and rightly so. Coach Norman played the entire skirmish. The limelight is nowv being centered on the inauguration of President-elect Hoover. "Wihiy bother, they come every four years, boys? Skelton of the Citadel was taken back in a conscious condition. He was lucky, as they usually have to be crated in an ambulance. Saint Valentine's day is here, I guess Young Stribling will he sending his be loved affection to Mr. Battling Sharkey. The weather conditions have some what improved and the Florida firm has been asked to cancel their order from this University for the use of speed bts. to convey the students to class. HARRY: STOTTLE Sex He is positive he can improve (moral ly) upon the risque contributions of his erstwhile predecessor to this-it ramains to be seen, college piblicatiin, occupying a place in the category known, by those higher up, as "Student Activities." But as one, who knows, so aptly put it. "The most inactive bunch of cattle that I've ever tried to brand."-Sans doute. Harry Stottle, Sr., has withdrawn from the fields of journalistic endeavor, a complete wreck. This breakdown (you can call it that if you want to) came as a direct results of the carelessness of Mrs. Stottle who allowed the baby to eat some soda crackers, while parked upon her sedate boy friend's couche (as 'typical Frenchan would say), but we in the heart of civilization and away from the pet idiosyncrasies of Hell-Hole Swamp, prefer to refer to that pedestal used as a rest for tre anatomy of man as a plain old (not fashioned, however) bed-known as "bunk" by jail birds and Citadel "Kaydits". Dim your lights Henry. you're not the only fool on the road. This withdrawal of such an abscene (not obscenio-we use obscenic when describing the latest crush's paraphen allia) write- from the fold of the gentle is a much desired and welcome step to ward the purifying of the college press of-well, anyhow, we're talking 'bout the college press. Clara Bow may have "It," but we're yet to find a frail who didn't have "It." As Kipling once said, "A fool must follow his natural bent (even as you and I). So, "lead on Brutus," said Napo leon as they, using Grant as a referee, crossed the Delaware. The MORAL is: You can't blame the writer if he smiles when you go into the restaurant with your girl at four in the afternoon and order breakfast. It she's politely put you off when you asked for a date the third time-pull the one W. J. Bryan did after his third defeat for the presidency (requiescat in pace), "I'm like the drunk who, after being thrown out of the same club three times in one evening, said 'I'm on to those people now, they just don't want me in there'." There's no fool like an old fool who tries to act like a young fool. N'est-ce pas? Some would if they could but they've never had a chance. Now, laff that off while Papa dodges bric-bats and boquets. Don't you just love that beautiful hero with the "Now you tell one" mustache, when he breathes (passion ately, I forgot to put that in) "I love you," to the adorable heroine, in a squeaky soprano. MORAL: If you don't wvant to be jolted out of a good evening's entertain nment-stay away from the "Talkies." Campus politics are all right for those wvho like to go in for such things. Some of us get all het tup over such things when we forget that it is such an unim ,portant thing after all. Whether we are going to smart or dumb, drung or sober, happy or miserable, must be decided by each~ of us. Of course it is a grand game and we get a lot of fun out of it, but we are prone to exaggerate the im portance of the thing. Don't be like Uncle Ike who used to blame Grover Cleveland every time he got lumbago. New members of the German say that fishing is especially good in front of the College Shop. Some say they really caught nice trout, while another member swears he saw a whale chasing a shark. The Associated Press dispatch states that Europe is feeling the grip of win ter. We, the Unviersity students, aren't exactly enjoying the tropical climate of Miami. Wauchope Helps In Excavation Son of Professor Works at Prehistoric Village Robert Wauchope, son of Dr. and Mrs. George Wauchope, has returned to begin the present semester's work after spending four days assisting in the excavation of a prehistoric village near Augusta, Georgia. Wauchope has been interested in archaeology for some time. Two sum" mers ago he was associated with the Andover expedition to Peco', New Mex ico, and while there met Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Cosgrove, who represent the Pea body musevlm of Harvard University. At the close of last semester Robert received a phone call from Mr. and Mrs. Cosgrive, who were in Augusta, inviting him to come there and assist them in the excavation of an Indian burying ground. Wauchope stated that when he ar rived about twenty skeltons had been found and that durirng his stay seven or eight more were unearthed. Although most of these were in a good state o' preservation, the party was unable to ascertain to what tribe or to what cen tury they belonged. The explorers feel confident, however, that their findings represent the products of a prehistoric age in American civilization. Other archaelogical treasures which the spades yielded were a number of ar rowheads, potsherds, bannerstones, beads and other stone implements. These artifacts were very crude and well re flected the primitive culture of their users. They were of a construction which hardly reached the standard set 1 by our ancestors of the Neolithic Age. Robert personally excavated the most interesting thing of the expidition. This was the mound of an Indian child and in it were the belongings necessary for a pleasant juvenile existance in the "Hap py Hunting Grounds." By the infants head lay a large conch shell which prob ably served the purpose of a modern (loll. In addition to this the child's property consisted of three bone awls, some heads, a stone knife, a polished arriw-head, and two antler tips.

If you can picture in your mind the lonesomeness of a traveling man in a small town on a rainy night, not a friend in a hundred miles, nothing to (10 and no place to go: That was the position I was in when your samples of Edgeworth came. It was like a voice from above when I opened the, package and got the old pipe steaming. I have smoked various brands of tobacco for the past fifteen years, but never in my life have I found a to bacco at any price that will equal Edgeworth. It does not bite the tongue, and a beautiful aroma follows. With the good old friend pipe and a can of Edgeworth you can dream of the rainbow's end. Please count me in the future as an Edgeworth booster. Very truly, (Signed) Al Stanley Edgeworth Extra High Grade Smoking Tobacco "Thei house of Quality T'he R. L.
