CREATES SENSATION BY CO-ED FOOTBALL GAME New Mexico A. & M. created quite a sensation in athletic circles when two of the Sororities of that school played a post-season football game on Dec. 3. These two Sororities had come through the season undefeated and it was necessary to play off the tie. The Kheth Samekhs won the game from the Sigma Deltas by the very narrow margin of 7-0. This is the first real co-ed game that has been played in the West and deserves mention because it was a contest filled with the spirit of earnest fight interspersed with showings of real field ability and generalship.

Poultry Farm has just purchased a White Leghorn cockerel, valued at $250, which is one of the best bred-for-egg-production cockerels of his breed to be obtained in the United States. This cockrel has been mated to the twelve best hens on the college farms, which have records of 240 to 290 eggs for their first year. The pullets from the mating will be carefully trap-nested in the hope of getting some high record hens. Returns tc * His Favorite Tobacco Boerne, Texas Oct. 14, 1926 Larus & Bro. Co. ^ Richmond, Va. Dear Sirs: I am a prodigal son. I began pipe-smoking with Edge- worth. But after a while I began to wander, trying other tobaccos, experi menting to see if there were any better tobacco for the pipe. I have tried most of the best known brands and a number of the more ob scure, both imported and domestic, but they didn’t suit. So now I have returned—I am using Edgeworth again, satisfied that no better tobacco is made. “And the prodigal son partook of the fatted calf”; I bought a new pipe when I returned to Edgeworth. With many thanks for my cool, mel low, sweet smokes, I am, Very truly yours, “H. D.” Edgeworth Extra High Grade Smoking Tobacco BRYAN NURSERY AND FLORAL COMPANY Telephone 266 LR R. IVS.
