So do the wheels, apokes. handb-lau -

about twice the size of regular tank.
It holds over four geHons of ^asolin

that Gilbert will have to stop onh (

with automobile tires, thus being as,
noar puncture proof as possible.

Chicago Not After
Game With Harvard
CHICAGO, Dec. 11.—The Univer
sity of Chicago, through its board oi
physical culture and athletics, last
night declined to meet Harvard in a
football game next fall. The hoard in
a statement issued after meeting, ex
pressed appreciation at the invitation
for a game at Cambridge, but decided
that it was not advisable to schedule
games with teams outside the “Big
Nine.”
The decision is in line with the
spirit of the conference a» informally
expressed here at the faculty meeting
last week, when scheduling of inter-
sectional games was declared not de
sirable.
