HITS THE SPOT SAFE ABSOLUTELY 5c AT FOUNTAINS 10c 25c AND 50c ^ BOTTLES GRIDIRON STAR ALSO WINS FAME AS A FEMALE j ' IMPERSONATOR This h not ■tnr. On left. Halsey and fiancee, bu t two poses of Dartmonth’s football Mills In gridiron attlr e, on right, Mills made up for stage. Julian El tinge, famous Impersonator of female roles, has also won considera ble fame in the' ring. He is a very .clever amateur boxer. The famous Eltlnge, however, has nothing on Halsey Mills, Dartmouth college quarterback, when it comes to the impersonation stuff. Eltinge first won fame as a boxer, then became the leading impersonator of female roles on the stage. Mills, in .college life, first won rec ognition on the stage, then came the glory of the gridiron. . Mills for three years has been a col lege hero at Dartmouth-r-not because of his athletic prowess, but as a. singer, eccentric dancer and impersonator of female roles in the annual college dra matics; Now he is basking in a double spot light, that of the gridiron as Well as the stage. Mills’ rise to football fame is one of the sensations of the past season. At present he stands as the most pictur esque figure In the football world. Although devoting most of his time to the musical and dramatic activities at Dartmouth, each fall he has re ported for football practice and la bored faithfully as a scrub—a mere buffer for the varsity players. I Never until last season has he ap-1 proached' the varsity heights.'. Sent into the Vermont game because there really was no other quarterbaok avail able, he played as though Inspired. The following weelc he played the entire game against Harvard. The7 Crimson was hard pressed to win, 12 to 3^ in a game featured by the playing of Mills. His football fame coming at the very close of his career has dwarfed stage popularity. It is fitting that a vallapt scrub for three years should win such recognition from the Dartmouth stu dent body.

Both teams played snappy ball and the Brigaders were only able to win in the last half. The brigade boys were handicapped on the outdoor court and did not get their team forking until the last part of the last half. The accurate shoot ing of the brigade five proved Le land’s undoing. O.
