Stray Stories: Some time ago there was
a wonderful story in the European Jour-
nails about certain grains Of ancient Egyp-
tan corn which had been planted in Ger
many and had come to life.
The grains, they said, had been found in
an Egyptian s~arcophagus and had been
planted by a Dresden florist. Some DAYS
later the corn appeared above ground,
much to the surprise of scientists, who did
not suppose that there was any life in
grains which were from 1900 to 5000 years
old. The corn, however. was certainly
growing. and even the most incredulous
among them soon became convinced that
grains have a lease of life to which there
is practically no limit.
Alas! A boy employed by the Dresden
florist has now confessed that he planted
some other grains in the same place where
his master had planted the Egyptian ones
and only a few hours after the florist COM
pleted his work. This was sad news for
the scientists and for the numerous Jour
nalists who had written enthusiastically
about the miraculous qualities of the an
cient gratis.

EASY FOR GEORGETOWN.
North Carolina Defeated at Norfolk BY
Score Of 80 to o.

The GEORGETOWN foot ball team continued
its good work at Norfolk, Va. Saturday
afternoon. when 1t defeated the North Caro-
lima boys by the one-sided score of 81 to y,
A drizzling rain during the first half kept
the blue and gray boys from running up
much larger score. as fast work was pre-
vented, and they had to depend entirely on
bucking the line or making short runs
around the end. These conditions held up
the speedy half backs. Reilly and Hart
and, of course. this meant a great deal TO
the local aggregation. In the kicking game
there was nothing to it, as Carroll out
punted Robertson on every try, the gains
being on an average of twenty-five feet:
The Georgetown team as a whole looked
exceptionally good, their union WORK peihs
most noticeable.
The North Carolina team played a good
game for its class, but was made to look
weak in facing Georgetown. The southern
boys had lots of speed and tackled Weii' put
failed to make Roadway, as their opponents
did better.
The game was called about $3.50, Newton,
for North Carolina, kicking outside. Car
roll punted out from Georgetowns twenty
five-yard line, and Georgetown then held
Carolina down, securing the ball on fum-
BILE. Mccarthy and Carroll were then sent
through tackle for six yards each. followed
by short gains by Hart and Martell Crow
ley made twenty yards around Carolinas
left end and placed the ball on the Tar
Heels twenty -fve-yard line. In three
plunges Martell carried it over for the first
touchdown. Carroll missed goal and the
score stood to in Georgetowns favor
after about five minutes of play.
The second touchdown was more stub
bornly contested, and it was not until near
the end of the half that Pop Rorke carried
the ball over the line. 1t was while trying
to secure this touchdown that Georgetown
was penalized twenty yards for ofrside play
ing. Carroll was called on for punt. ana
Herman downed the Carolinian at the In
slant he caught the ball. Immediately
afterward the Tar Heel full back was
thrown for loss by Mccarthy. and George
town again received the ball on punt.
Then for some time the two elevens strug-
gled In the middle Of the field for possess
sion of the pigskin. Robertson the Carolina
full back making a run Of thirty yards.
Kelley was then sent in to infuse new
spirit into the team. and from that time on
no substantial gain was made by the Caro-
lima lads. The second touchdown was Sc

Reilly and Carroll and Rorke placed the
ball over the line. Carroll kicked goal. and
the score was IL to 0. The half ended with

CHEVY CHASE COLE TOURNEY.
Home Players Won a Majority Of the
Prizes,

At the close of the Chevy Chase golf tour
nament Saturday evening. the home play
ers had the satisfaction of winning four of
the nine prizes. with good chance for the
fifth Mr.. Ormsby McCammon capturing the
governors cup. Mr.. w. G. Peter the conso-
lation cup. DR.. w. w. Gray the cup for
runner up In the same. and Mr.. F. Oden
Horstmann the qualifying cup. In addition
to this record. Mr.. McCammon is tied with
Messrs. Leavitt and Lanston- for the cup
hung I'D for the second best net score in
the handicap. OF the other four cups, Mr..
A. L. Seelig,nann of St. Johns College, An
napolis. won two-the runner up for the
governors cup and the lowest net score In
the handicap; Mr.. George Weaver the Sec
ond consolation. and DIR. L. l.. Harlan one
for the lowest gross score In the handicap.
The feature of the tournament was UNI
doubtedly the playing OF Messrs. Mccain
mon and Seeligman. Mr.. McCammon got
started poorly this fall. after his return
from abroad. but began to show his true
form last Tuesday in the team match. and
in the Chevy Chase tourney displayed q
steadness that was surprising to his
friends. He belongs to the plodding class in
golf and should never be underrated He is
never far in the rear at any stage of the
journey, and Just as soon as his opponents
weaken he Is ready to take full advantage
of it. In his game with Mr.. Brooke Satur-
day morning this was most noticeable, Mr..
McCammon hanging on with bulldog te-
nacity. and when the Columbia player look
ed to be winner. he came forward with a
rush and won out In clever STYLE Mr..
McCammon is in the rut where Dr. Lee
Harlan was about two years ago, that is
weak on putting. and when he masters that
part of the game he will attract unusual at
tention both at home and abroad.
Mr.. Seeligmann is Washington boy but
played under the co,ors OF the ST. Johns
College All his golf has been picked up on
tie Chevy Chase course. and early In the
tournament his playing attracted the at
tendon Of the regulars When he put out
