well, for instance" said this man
with a flower in his coat, Il was at a
reception the other afternoon, where a
pretty young woman, local artist,
was hidden to sing. She happened to

than disappoint the hostess, who de-
pended on her voice for entertaining
the guests, she began bravely we'll

ladies who disdained the art that hac

were determined to let their victim see
how despised she was, how bad her

on! And still the ladies rustled and
twisted, fastening their gaze blankly on
the singer, but at last the lady who

man, calmly, "bIt was it nice of YOUR

Rv the Associated Press.l

Norfolk, Va. Dec. 1.-The football
game between Shaw University of Raj
eigh, and Howard University football
teams at League Park today resulted
in a score of to 0 in favor of Shaw.
The game was in 35 and 25 minute
halves. In the second half the how
ards got the ball to within about
seven inches of the Shaw twenty-yard
line and claimed that they should re-
tain the ball. but the referee decided
in favor of the Shaws. The Howards
refused to accept the decision and left
the field, whereupon the referee gave
the game to the Shaw team. The How
ards proved themselves superior in
every way and would probably have
won the game if they had continued
to- play. Jackson, the right halfback
for the Howards, and Mitchell. right
end of the same team, put up some as
fine playing as was ever witnessed in
Virginia. Lowe, the fullback OF Shaw,
made a beautiful run of ten yards,
which was only eXcelled by Mitchell,
of the opposing team.

Defeats West Point in Hot Game by Score

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. lon Franklin
Field today the navy retrieved it's de-
feat of last year by defeating the army
by a score of II to z. 1t was a fierce
contest from end to end, and was only
won by the hardest kind of playing on
the part of the Annapolis cadets. The
West Point boys, in the face of defeat
never for a moment weakened in the play
and won the applause of the multitude of
spectators for their gameness. Neither
team played gilt-edged football, but what
they lacked in the finer points of the
game, they made up by the zeal and earn
estness with which the players went at
each other. Their tackling was marked
with a reckless abandon that stirred the
army and navy officers in the crowded
stands into wild enthusiasm. The great
est crowd that has assembled in Franklin
Field in number of years was out to see
the game and many men distinguished in
public life occupied seats, on either the
West Point or Annapolis stands Secre

Lieutenant General Miles occupied a box
