Six out of the eight games on the schedule will be played in the home sate of Indiana, one game just over the state line in Chicago and the only jaunt of any consequence, as fa- as distance is concerned, will be to Madison, Wisconsin, where the Old Cold and Black will furnish the Homecoming opposition for Glen Thist lethwaite's Badgers. The Boilermakers will be well acquainted with the home folks be- fore they make their first venture in a foreign atmosphere, for the season opens with three straight appearances in the Ross-Ade sta- dium. In one of the outstanding early season games in the Middle West, Phelan* will send his eleven against thehKansas Aggies on Oct- ober 12. The Michigan game will provide the first opportunity in years for Hoosier fans to watch the Wolverines perform on Indiana soil, and one of the biggest crowds of the season is expected for the game. The three-game home stand will come to a close on October 19 when the state rivalry with the same eleven from DePauw is re- newed. The Old Gold and Black will step just over the state line into Chi- cago for its annual invasion of the Midway on October 26, when Stagg's Maroons will attempt to get revenge for the 40 to 0 drubbing they received last year when Welch, Caraway and Harmeson, the same backfield trio that is available this season, ran wild. The only other out-of-state game of the season will follow the next Saturday, Nov- ember 2, when Phelan takes his hopefuls to Madison for a renewal of the . Purdue-Wisconsin series, that has developed some of the most spectacular battles in the Big Ten in recent years. Last fall the Boilermakers battled to a 19 to 19 tie with the Badgers.

Gentlemen: Having been a user of Edgeworth for over eight years, I can truthfully say that it is the best on earth. I am enclosing a little ditty that I believe expresses my sentiments entirely: Old Man Joy and Old Man Trouble Went out for a walk one day. I happened to pass when they met on the street And I overheard them say, Said Old Man Trouble, "She's as wrong as she can be, There ain't no fun in anything to me, why I was just talking' to Old Man Sorrow, And he says the world will end tomorrow." Then Old Man Joy he started to grin, And I saw him brink; out that OLD 1ILETIN, Then OLD JOHNNY RI AR was next on the scene, And he packed aim full from the OLD BLUE TIN, And I heard him say as he walked away, "You have to have a smoke screen every day. When a man gets the blues, and he needs a friend, He can f nd consolation in the OLD BLUE TIN, And I jist don't believe on all this earth There's a thing that'll match good old EDGEWORTH." Yours very truly, F. H. McMurray Edgewortli I Extra High Grade That the recent endurance air- plane record of 420 hours, 21 min-1 utes, and 30 seconds made by the St. Louis Robin plane in charge of Dale Jackson and Forrest O'Brine at St. Louis was due in great part to work done three years ago in the laboratories of the University of Michigan through the Depart- ment of Engineering Research has been brought out by facts not learned until thq end of the flight. The record-breaking flight was made entirely with a certain type of aviation gasoline the formula for which was worked out as the result of experimental work done for the Association of Natural Gas- oline Manufacturers by Professor George Granger Brown of the De- partment of Chemical Engineering through the Department of Engi- neering Research, begun in July, 1929. This fuel is a development from natural gasoline whose possi- bilities as an aviation fuel were realized- by Professor Brown and Frederick Foster, at the time in charge of advertising activities for the Association of Natural Gasoline Manufacturers. Robin Flight Was Test It now develops that the record- breaking flight of the St. Louis Robin differed in some respects from other re-fueling flight which have recently attracted so much attention. It was arranged by the manufacturers of the plane and designed primarily as a factory test. For this reason the officials of the Company called upon their' laboratories to designate the fuel to be used and the particular brand) already mentionedwas specified. A supply of this fuel was bought through ordinary channels from a St. Louis distributor and the fact; that it was being used exclusively! was not known to the manufactur- ers of the gasoline until after the plane had been in the air more than 100 hours. As soon as the manufacturers of the fuel learned that their gasoline' was being used and that there was a very lively possibility that a new record would be established they; loaded a 1,000 gallon truck with the fuel-as there was no adequate I supply in St. Louis--and started it w toward the scene of the flight from of the Alumni Association were their plant in Texas.

First Trial at Tulsa1 A first test of the new fuel was! made at the McIntyre Air Port, Tulsa, Oklahoma, on December 9,; 1926, at which time the experi- a mental work in charge of Professor Brown had been proceeding in the!- laboratories of the University for ;________ some time and the possibilty of - _ _ developing a far superior aviation fuel from natural gasoline had al- ready been realized. The tests at Tulsa were witnessed by Professor Brown and by Mr. Foster, the lat-C ter an aviation enthusiast who was so much impressed by the results of the test flight that he persuaded Every Afternoo one of the commercial companies to go into the manufacture of this! fuel on a large scale.
