A woman cannot stick n hat on her
head as you stick stamp on a letter.
There is an ingenious machine that
sticks stamps on letters at the rate Of
several thousand an hour. But nobody
has invented a machine for sticking
hats on the heads Of women. A man
can buy a hat in five minutes, but no
woman would dream of buying a hat
in less than an hour. Often woman
will acquire a splitting headache in
the attempt to find one hat to suit
her out of n hundred, and not seldom
she carries away the headache with
out hat on IT. The hat hunt is only
a small part of the daily agony Of shop
ping, and yet many man would rath.
er cut his throat than engage in a hat
hunt as dispassionate spectator. Men
prefer to hunt the fox or the stag, the
tiger or the lion, the grizzly or the
grouse. A tiger hunt is not nearly so
perllous as a hat hunt.-London Opin-
ion

ness to get to the runner resulted in
five yard penalties for orfsido plays.
The game was remarkably clean
with one or two exceptions, and both
teams In those instances were equally
guilty. Robins, from the sidellnes,
made what appeared to be an unneccs-
sarily rough tackle when he grasped
Moore around the neck and hurled him
to the ground. Time was taken out
for the piucky little quarter, but he
continued the game, Again a flying
leap at Coburn by johnson called the
wrath of the officials down upon the
offender.
End runs were CONSPICUOUS by their
absence. Both teams early in the
gamc realized that nothing could be
gained by these tactics and tho whole
of attacking force was centred on
tackle and guard. Richmond College
was particularly successful In gaining
ground through tackle, the larger
part of its gains going through the
opposing left side OF the line. Cal
cross and delayed passes, was able to
rip a hole in either side at will
Neither team was successful in the
use of the forward pass. This weapon,
designed for light fast team, would
have saved the locals world OF energy
had it been employed. but owing to the
slippery condition of the oval and the
speed OF the Gallaudet secondary de-

twice. and then not successfully. Tho

partly up to the low standard set IN
the game against South Carolina last
Saturday, due in tho main to the I'M
certain footing. Their showing on the
defensive. however, was fully up to
expectations, and Hampd en- Sidney was
able to mako the necessary ten yards
but once in the forty-six minutes OF
play. Within three minutes OF the
end Of the game Right Half Back
Saunders got away for fifteen yards
around Virginia's right end.
For the greater part Of the contest
tho ends had very little to do. as tho
plays were generally smashed before
they reached either flank.
AS on last Saturday. Virginia was
slow in starting. only ono touchdown
being scored In the first quarter. Three
followed In quick succession In the
second period. NIL being made by Mayer,

tho crowd amused in his spectacular
dashes. Once he broke through
the line and had a clear field but
slipped in tho mud and was overtaken
by Moore and downcd within ten yards
OF the goal line. A little later, on the
kick ofr no caught tho pigskin near
the Virginia goal post and spirited
past midfleld before he was laid low.
Head Coach Warren tried out a num-
Der OF second string men In the third
and fourth quarters. and tho showing
made by Randolph, Speers. Coleman and
Flanagan was especially gratifying
Randolph exhibited much dash and
power scoring three of tho four touch
downs. Flanagan ran back-punts in
good form. He gets UP speed almost
as quickly as Todd During his trial
at quarter back he ran the team very
creditably.
