Many reasons have been advanced for tho
prevalence Of right handedpess. II 10 by
Some said to be the result Of nursing and in
fantile treatment. to be due to early practice
in writing and drawing, to be the outcome
of warfare, education and heredity, the re-
suit OF mechanical law and other remote
causes. according TO the Strand. Sir James
Sawyer declares that the preferential use
Of the right hand Is due to the fact that In
primitive days man used the right hand
for the purposes Of offence. so as to keep tbs
heart-the vital spot-as far as possible
from the assault Of an adversary. Recent
experiments and observations. however,
prove that single handcdness is merely the
result OF faulty or restricted education.
II il a curious instance of human con-
trariness that should one eye, one ear or
one leg Of a child show signs Of diminished
vigor the parents would instantly seek the
cause Of and if possible the remedy for
that lamentable condition; yet for some
inexplicable reason or prejudice the left
hand OF the average child is ruthlessly and
deliberately neglected, until in mature
years il is an undeveloped. useless and
almost unnecessary apr:Sdsgs. p
Careful observations have shown that out
Of every hundred persons born into this
world eighty are congenitally ambidextrous
that is TO say. they will instinctively reach
for an object with either hand and only
require proper instruction and training TO
develop both hands and arms to an equal
degree OF strength and skill.
or the remaining wenty seventeen will
be right handed, while the other three will
show a natural bias toward the left hand.
The cultivation OF am~bideXterity therefore
offers no insup erable difficulties, and the
economical, physiological and psychological
advantages are enormous.
IL Is said that the Japanese soldiers can
use their weapons with equal skill In either
hand. for they are trained to be ambidex-
trous from childhood. Al school they arc
taught to write and draw with both hands.
In drawing and painting no supporting.
device whatever is used, the entire arm
being employed.
The German educational authorities, too.
are at preeent giving considerable attention
TO left hand work, especially in their technical
and mechanical schools. The students arc
taught to saw. plane and hammer a. well
with the left han a. with the right, and tho
economical and industrial Importance Of
ambidexterity is firmly impressed upon the
minds OF young mon and women. 4 A

TECH VS.. PICKED TEAM.
Best Players from Four schools to
Meet the Manual Trainers.

What should prove one of the most in
teresting games OF the local scholastic
season is being arranged between the
big Technical High team and an eleven
composed Of the pick Of the other four
high schools.
Tech was quite anxious 10 have a re-
turn game with Western. independent Of
the championship series. but as the
Georgetown team will be compelled to
stop practicing Immediately after the
Central game next Tuesday, the plan fell
through. The proposed game should be
even a better drawing card The idea is
TO have the coaches of each of the four
teams name his four best men, and then
select the best eleven to oppose the
Manual Trainers.
No date has vet been set but the game
will probably be played one week after
Techs last championship game

Princeton. Oct. S1-When the Princeton
rooters saw the Tigers al work to-day
few expressions Of joy were heard. The
team is inconsistent, spasmodic, dePlor-
ably so. Yesterday the men played pass
able ball To-day they simply stumbled
through the formations.
The lrouhie is that no one can tell oven
yet what Princeton can really do. for
the players are tickle, and never seem TO
do two things in the same way During
the twenty-five minute halves this after
noon there was no scoring outside sof a
drop kick by Harlan, who slipped one
over from 30-yard line.
combination Of Cunningham, Nc
Cronhan, and McKaig proved formidable
enough to disrupt the varsity line, which
was slow in charging and weak in re-
ssting attacks The personnel of the
line remains a mystery Waller, Buck
ingham, and McFayden are the doubtful
members. In the back field the- make
up is more solid. though there VIII be
