OUTH ATLANTIC colleges competing against Far Southern elevens Saturday failed to cover themselves with any considerable amount In each instance the South Atlantic institution met with defeat, and in every case but one the defeat was so decisive as to leave no doubt as to the superiority of the team from “ 'way down South.” Georgetown, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, University of Richmond and of credit.

That doesn't leave much doubt which was the better team. North Carolina went down to Tennessee and took a 34-to-0 drubbing. Virginia Mili- t Institute went down to Georgia Tech and got whipped by two touch- downs. Maryland dropped down to South Carolina and had its measure taken by the university of that State. North Carolina State College had its Raleigh precincts invaded by Furman University and finished on the wrong end of 41-to-0 count. ~ And while it Aid not lote to a far Southern cleven, Washington and Lee did take a whip- ping at the hands of West Virginia, 18 to 0.

It was more than a departure—it created a new school of beauty; and world-wide imitation has not even dulled the edge of its distinctive individuality. It may have seemed to you then, and it may seem to you now, that the creation of three years ago could not be outdone for a decade to come in originality and symmetry. Nevertheless, the thrill of three years ago is about to be intensified and surpassed. A new Chrysler “70” will be shown in this city and throughout the nation on October 9. It excels the charm of its older self just as emphatically as that older self excelled the conventional three years ago. To choose any other car before you have seen this new Chrysler “70” will be to run the risk of almost inevitable disappointment when its unique and brilliant beauty and advanced fea- tures are revealed.
