S~ixty-Seven
Shots to Kill
EITHER POOR SHOOTING OR
BULLET-PROOF
TURKEY.

The turkey shoot on Mt. Brougher
yesterday was a great success Near
" all the men in the town who had
rel handled a gun were there to
pump lead into or at the unfortunate
turks, who were tied on to a box at
a distance of 240 yards from the
dead line. The weather was all that
could be desired. 1t was in fact an
ideal day. There was no wind to
make the bullets waver in their
course, SO the turkeys were compar-
atively safe from molestation.
There was one poor old bird who
sat on the box until ~sixty-six shots
were plugged at him. Then Vail
Pittman came along and let fly at
him, and the bird rolled to the
ground from exhaustion, and he was
claimed as a dead bird. The man
from Bishop, who was conducting
the turkey shoot hated to see him
go, and it was with a sigh that he
saw a big Missourian cut his head off
with a bowie knife to make sure he
was dead. The shots were so cents
each. and the nan from Bishop bag
ged $3.50 on this bullet proof bird.
Sheriff Owens was at the butts
early in the morning, and went home
with a turkey. The sheriff is a dead
shot. Chief of Police Malley will
appear this morning with a feather
in his hat in honor of the bird on
which he dined. Lem PIatt and three
others went up the hill and came
down town each with a bird. They
didn't say anything, but marched
through the streets for an hour OF
more.
The record of the two days was 8
mortality of fifty-five birds.

Billy pittmdn
Is All Smiles
Is THE PROUD FATHER OF A
TEN-POUND BABY
BOY.

Billy Pittman is a happy father.
His Thanksgiving present came Just
before midnight in the shape of a
ten-pound boy.
Billy has always been an optimist
He knew that the stringency could
not last forever, and he was sure that
good luck was hanging over his
house. Billy would rather have had
that little ten-pound son than ten
million dollars. He can mage ten
millions dollars any old time; but it
isn't every proud father that can
have a son.
There is going to be a new sign
on the office in the State Bank and
Trust building right away. lit is go
ing to read: Nv. b. Pittman & Son"
All success to the new firm. Bill
smile will be broader than ever, and
a broad smile in these days is the
proper thing. There will be a smile
for Bill when he comes down the
t~horoughfare this morning, from all
sides. and there will be congratulate
tions in plenty. And we want to be
the first to extend our congratula-
tions. Here's to you and yours. Bill,

No Written
G.U.-G. W.U.
Agreement
It Expired When George
town Won Cup In
1905.

Despite assertions to the contrary. It
was stated this morning that there is
no written agreement between George
town ana George Washington Universi-
ties to play a football game on Thanks
giving Day this year.
IN 1905 there was a contract between
the two schools whereby they were TO
play every year fer a cup offered by an
enthusiastic follower Of the sport until
one or the other had won the cup twice,
when the agreement was to come to an
end and the managers were to get
together and make new terms. George
town beat George Washington in 1865
and 1906 which put the contract out OF
commission. and left only the general
understanding that there was to be a
game this year The 1907 game is held
up because Georgetown demands so in
stead OF 30 per cent OF the net receipts,
the extra 10 per cent to go as reim-
bUrsement for building new bleachers.
Nothing new had developed at George
town this morning concerning the an
nual match with George Washington.
Manager Fitzgerald was said TO have
felt aggrieved over the way the papers
treated mis- action in making his de-
mand at this late day. and said he
would wait awhile before taking further
steps in the matter. The sentiment
among the undergraduates at George
town was said TO be divided. those
whose feeling of rivalry toward George
washington had gone as far as preiu-
dice thinking Manager Fitzgerald had
done right. while the others thought he
had put his foot in II by springing his
demand ct this time.

snappiness he ever had in his punch.
and likewise his eye for distance, that
he did not put Baldwin 10 sleep. Bald
