A BRIGHT IDEA.
Unusual Saeacity That Was Lauded by
the Professor.

the PROFESSOR.
That the provrrbial abSentminded
professor is sometimes ably abetted by
his wife is illustrated by a story told
Of Professor Bunsen. One evening
about the usual hour for retiring he
took it into his head to run over to
the club Just as he and madam were
returning from an evening call.
But" said the lady, Il must have
the front door locked before / retire.
This emergency staggered the pro-
fessor. and as he looked bewildered at
his wife the lady. seized with an in
spiration, continues:
I'll go in and lock the door and
throw you the key from the window.
This program was carried out, and
when he reached the club tie profess
SOr related the incident to friend as
evidence of his wife's unusual sagac-
ity. ,.,
The friend greeted the story with
roar of laughter.
And why, my dear professor, he
said. did you not simply admit your
wife. lock the door from the outside
and come away?'
True" calculated the learned man
of science, we never thought OF that.
The climax of the incident was
reached an hour later when. return
ing home, the professor disco 'ered
that the lady in her excitement had
thrown out the wrong key.

LICK ASKS WHO'S
Who in FOOTBALL
A. A. L. Again Inportuned to
DecLare InterSch0IaSfic
Champions of 1910
By WILLIAM UNMAcK

The students at Lick school have not
taken kindly to the decision of the
Amateur Athletic league not to declare
champion interscholastic team for
the last football season.
The student body at Lick feels that
its team has not been treated rightly
by the league. To make further and
thorough inquiry into the nonaward-
ing of football championship for the
intercollegiate code the student body
has appointed a committee consisting
of Max Plum, one of the Lick faculty;
student body President House and r.
w Hills. This committee yesterday
sent communication to the Amateur
Athletic league committee asking that
a meeting of the league be called to
reconsider the matter and award the
championship to one school or the
other.
The consensus of opinion at Lick is
that the Amateur Athletic league should
make a definite decision as to which
school has the champion team, the
claim being made by Lick that the
Amateur Athletic league ordered them
to play the Hitchcock military academy
for the title of champion intercolle-
giate school. Lick won. Under these
conditions it was beyond the power of
the Amateur Athletic league to change
the decision is the claim made by Lick.
After the closing of the games. played
by the respective sublea CUES of the
Amateur Athletic league it developed
that the Hitchcock team and the Ala
media high team were the two teams to
meet for the final game to decide the
championship. Alameda had some time
previously arranged to play the Fresno
high team at Fresno Thanksgiving day,
which was the day set for the cham
pfonship game by the Amateur Athletic
league.
The Alameda team refused to change
the game with the Fresnoites and play
the championship game and the ANA
tuted the Lick team to play the Hitch
cock boys.
It is this game that is the bone of
contention. Lick defeated Hitchcock in
the game ordered by the Amateur Ath-
letic league and naturally thought it
had won the high school championship,
but at a later meeting of the Amateur
Athletic league Alameda put it's claims
before the committee and at that same
meeting the league ruled that no Of
fetal sanction had been given the Lick
Hitchcock game and it was finally de-
cided that no championship would be
awarded for 1910.
The committee appointed at Lick yes
terday has sent notice to the ANA
teur Athletic league and will do every
thing in its power to put the views of
the Lick adherents- before the govern
ing body and try to have a definite de-
cision made.
