Great Surprise.

their annual football battle on I.afay-

score OF the game was made early In
The first half when Fuistcin the speedy
little quarterback OF the orange and

from the field.
The contest was hard fought from
start to finish, both teams playing a
fast ana snappy game and showing
lrcqueE: flashes OF brilliant form that
would have been credi, TO them in
contests later In the season. The
elevens were evenly matched IN
weight, but the warriors of William
and Mary showed better training than
did the Ashland boys.
Randolph-Macon kicked off to Will

defense of the Ashland team that the
orange and white were forced to re-
sort to the punting game. The VIII

Referees Mistake.
Following the drop kick, the referee
carried the ball out and forced RAN

Mary from the formers twenty-five
yard line, whereas the rules require
that the ball should have been kicked
OFF from the center Of the field This
mistake possibly had "A bearing OH the
score, for after recovering the ball
from William and Mary on kick, the
Randolph Mason team carried IL down
the field for sixty yards by end runs
and line plunges. Had the kickof been
from the center OF the field. the Ash
land boys might have scored.
During the second half William and
Mary seemed to be content with
keeping the Randolph Macon warriors
from scoring, for they seldom attempt
ed TO carry the ball. tesorting to the
kicking game almost every time the
ball was in their possession. On the
other hand the Randolph -Macon team
continued to plug away mt the orange
and white line, but every time they got
within the danger zone. William and
Mary held safe, received the ball on
downs ana proceeded TO kick out OF
danger.
Good Judgment Shown.
William and Mary showed excellent

AN ENcouRAoINo OUTLOOK.



Rt. Hon. Augustine Birrell, NJ. p,
president Of the British board OF edu-
cation, received a large and important
deputation of medical men at the edu-
cation office at Whitehall recently.
The deputation presented a memoran-
dunn. the chief points Of which were
these: (1) The necessity for recasting
the general science teaching, SO that
the principles of hygiene and temper
ance can be embodied in the curricu-
lum without constituting a new sub
ject; (2) the teaching Of hygiene and
temperance in all training colleges.
and to all student teachers; (s) the
inclusion Of hygiene and temperance
among the subjects concerning which
the inspectors must report
AS regards these three points, and
speaking generally. Mr.. Birrell was
sympathetic. He could hardly be
otherwise. he said. because the new
code for which he is responsible. en-
joins the teaching Of health and tenn
perance under the head of moral in
struction. Mr.. Birrell has rooted OBJ
lection to iargon, in all its forms
The thing Is" he assured the deputa
ton, ito avoid technicalities. to avoid
all the jargon, and to ne children
see that health and tem france are
things that can be taught in simple
language, without repulsive and Ions
words"
