answered: Breeding is Important
because if scolIars cant read thew

other: "Because if person, can

"PupillS should not use text

Henniker dropped TO hands and knees
and scurried around the ring oil all

close OF the second round Hennker
made a rushing, swinging plunge across

blow, fairly lifted Broderick up 10 his

fords landed lightly again and after an
other clinch touched Peter on the ribs
and they locked arms once more. When
they broke away they spared while,
after which Peter sent his right TO the

In the second round Maher swung his
right to the body. They mixed IL up
and exchanged a series OF right and left
swings in which Jeffords got hard

Peter got IL this time with stif right

BROWN VS.. LAFAYETTE.

At Andrews field. this afternoon,
Brown eleven and the Lafayette team
are struggling for football supremacy.
The practice by the Brown men, yes
terday afternoon was rather light and
far from satisfactory. Since the game
with the crack Homestead -eleyen-o on
Tuesday last Browns supporters have
been more sanguine regarding the teams
defensive ability. but there Is little hope
of making more than a respectable
showing against Lafayette. whose play
ers arrived In the city last evening. They
are registered at the Narragansett ho-
tel and appear In excellent form.
The average weight Of the Lafayette
men is considerably more than that of
the Brown eleven. the line especially
being better balanced. The total weight
OF the Eastonians in 1903. while the
Providence boys come nearly to the 1773
notch, which makes the average OF the
former nearly IL pounds 10 the man heav-
fer. The great excess OF weight on the
visitors team IL found In an advan-
tageous place I'm the middle of the line.
There will be y and 20 minutes halves
In this afternoons game which was called
at o'clock and the lineup follows:
