but the two elevens were so equally bal
anced yesterday that the argument from be-

kind. The contest was not finished until
the moon was shining brightly and tie stars
were twinkling. The crowd, about 600,
were wild, and wells rent the air as the local
team scored touchdown that won the game
al the last moment.
Their Weak Point
1t is fair to say THAT the hree AS had
only a moderate team on the field. Their
rush lire was all right but behind the line
they were weak. Walter McClintock
was sadly missed and doubtless had he
been on hand, and also Germer the visitors
would not have been in it. The backs did
very poor work, indeed, excepting the
efforts of little Valentine. He, of course
PLAYED his usual good game. The rushing
of the home team was better than it has
been so far this season, and their interfer-

Abbott's Good Kick.

As the half was about finished, wich the
Ailechenles in the visitors territory, the ball
was passed to Abbott who made a splendid
kick. Albree fumbled the ball and NIevav
GOT it making a touchdown. REIN failed to
kick goal and the first half ended 4 to in
favor of the Washington fellows
Each half was Is minutes, and the second

the cheers were loud and long That tied

Once or twice the visitors had the bali with

Bathing and Walking for Corpulency.

Bathing and Walking for Corpulency.
 An injunction which appears quite uniformly in works which treat of cor pulency is to employ cold baths Un- doubtedly these favor reduction in weight. But few corpulent people, however, can take them, either in the form of full baths or sponge baths. Circulation in such people is notorious ly sluggish, and they do not recover quickly from the chill of a cold bath, as all should do who indulge in it.
 If a cold bath is applied, and reac- ton occurs after hard rubbing for a minute or two, the skin is reddened and the subject is in a warm glow, it can safely be assumed that the bath has been we'll borne and done good. The person who does not present these favorable signs should limit himself to bath of tepid water, the same to be taken in @ warm room
 As for exercise, it is scarcely possible at first to persuade corpulent people to take as much as they ought. Where they are thoroughly in earnest, however, tAoy oooH ieerH oo eilJoy lC, auu Ieel Clle deprivation when it is denied them. Gymnastic exercise under competent teachers is, of course, the best, but walking is highly beneficial, and can be made to answer every purpose. It should be borne in mind that sharp, brisk walk, which produces perspira- Gon, is far better than long, leisure stroll, owing to the greater elimination of waste. -Roston Herald
