As yet, crackernut has submitted only one art study entitled, Do Not Open Until Christmas. Ain't he the little devil, though? The Sports Column The curtain wishes to drop that in behalf of the journal he has signed up Battling Rams, popular paperweight as sporting editor. Coach Tichenor likes to kid our boys along. He has Odell and Rowley working out with the Hrst soccer squad and he has told Niven that if he keeps at the game long enough in- side of three years he mite make the team. Emil Huleck wants a baseball player who kin catch the ball in one hand, keep the kids from sneaking over the fence, with the other, hold down third base with his left foot, play the saxaphone and steal home on the other foot. Of course we all know that John McGraw payed 375,000 for O'Connell, but do you know dear subscribers, that if Packey,' McFarland was as good as him, he'd be getting it too. ,ZQQQ THE CHAPERONE They Say- Matthew Jackson: Captain of the kicking game. Worn Out, N. Y. is the 'seat of pant trouble, with a little patching up all might be at rest again. Lloyd Storandt: The model of his class- mates.

Horace Howard: Renowned inhabitant of Eighth Period, W. H. Your book is fine, but I would change the name to Whiz Bang, Hot Dog or even Per- spiring Puppy.
