Schuyler Van Brunt was working un.

him of the old English custom of sing
ing carols in the streets on Christ
mas morning It had taken a strong
hold on the boys fertile Imagination
10 strong hold that he had planned
to smuggle Seraphina and Thad from
tho house, when Christmas came, and
to sing a carol out-of-doors in true
English fashion.
Then, just when he needed Doctor
Posts advice most, there had been
some vague trouble between the doc
tor and Aunt Margaret. Aunt Marga-
ret no longer wore the diamond ring
on the third finger Of her left hand,
and Doctor Post came no more to the
house. It was very disheartening.
Schuyler wanted to ask Doctor Post a
score Of questions about the carols.
Did the people who sang them wear
surplices, like the choir boys in the
Christmas procession ut st. ~Jude's?
Did they stand still or march around
while they sang? These and other
points sadly taxed his eight-year-old
Intellect. But his determination to
sing that carol in the street never
faltered. Hence the secret rehear:
sails IN the nursery. .5.
After much deliberation, he decid-
cd that surplices would lend dignity
to the occasion, and this decision was
ifurthereii by the thought that night

OF well-matched horses, and Is sure to
make good racing. The form students
will have some perplex:ng problems pre-
sented for solution, but with a fast
track they will be able to figure with
some degree of confidence.
The first race for maidens OF all ages
is very open, and the man who locates
the winners should be well rewarded,
Kewessa has worked very fast, and may
be good enough to win here. Margaret
Meise and High Priest may be the con-
tenders.
Pomette Blue should take down the
purse in the second race. Valkyrie and
Ray O'Light may be dangerous.
Ivabel may win the third race. Lace
and Black Chief should be the con-
tenders.
For the steeplechase Syosset looks
good. Promoter and Repentant will run
..tl,.
Altaniaha should be good enough to
take the fifth event. Col. Ashmeade
and Feather Duster should be the con-
tenders.
Miss Moments looks to have a good

displaying unexpected strength in the
line, Amherst was unable to hold :he

Green made up for the defeat. Twice
Amherst held Dartmouth for downs on
the ole-yard line, the Grecnbacks be-
ing unable to pierce the line for the
necessary distance that would bring a
touchdown.
Dartmouth seemed overconfident at
the start. but the strength of the Am
herst line soon destroyed this CONN.,
dence. Then the visitors started pound
ing down the field, only to be brough:
up short when close TO the goal line.
At the end of the first half the score
was even, to z. Hogsett scored when
Hubbard lost Curtis spiral in the wind.
Whitten fell on the ball behind Dart
mouths line when Llewellyn fumbled
McGays high punt.
Beginning the third period Dartmouth
rushed its strongest veterans into the
fray. Murdock's steady llne-plunging
proved too much for the Amherst for
wards and Lleweilyn slipped through
center for a touchdown. Cannon pound
ed his way over the line for the final
touchdown.
Amherst Showed wonderful strength
in the middle of the line, easily sop
ping the Dartmouth attack inside the
fifteen-yard line. Hardly anything but
oldfashioned football was shown, but il
was of a high caliber.

Catholic University has yet to record

the Delaware College game last Satur-

The lads coached by John Greer are
back from Cbestertown today with the
remembrance of severe drubbing
handed out by Washington College, the
team first brought into football annals
by Mike Thompson.
The score of IS to 0 showed that the
Washington College team won as 1t
pleased. A varied attack of fake for
ward pass formations, from which long
rnns resulted. placed Catholic Univer-
sity on the defensive throughout, and
the team was unable 10 make any
thing on the Chestertown boys except
in the third period, when the ball was
worked to the ten-yard line.
Catholic University is due to take 4
decided brace this week in preparation
for the games to come. Unless the team

that the season will be gone through
