RattIesnake'a Aoe

The general belief that the number
of its rattles is a true guide to the age
of a rattlesnake has small foundation
in fact. According TO Mr.. Edwin R.
Sanborn Of the New York Geological
park, a very largo snake may have
few rattles, and small snake twice
as many as the big one. A rattle
snake frequently loses rattles through
violent contact with rocks or bushes
loss that nature replaces at the rate
of about three segments year. The
baby rattlesnake has tiny button
where his rattles will ultimately be.
Thus, according to the usual theory,
at the end of the first year he will ap-
pear to be three years old, or perhaps
three years and half, if the button
is considered as the beginning of q
new rattle. Probably the number of
the rattles increases for a certain
number Of years. remains stationary
for another period, and then decreases
as the snake grows old. That is the
course of growth and decay in the
horns and antlers of hoofed animals.

sent back TO the clubhouse after only
half an hour on the field to-day. Al
though X had rained during the first half
OF the practice period while three COM
binations were running through signal
drill, the clouds had cleared away and
the sun was shining as the varsity lined
up against the scrub for a scrimmage.
There was no little surprise therefore
when DIR. Sharpe called: That will be
all"
During the iftecn-minute scrinmage
the varsity scored two touchdowns on
the scrub. one by Sprague and the other
by Phillippi. Several OF the regular
varsity men did not get TO the field
until practice was all over. and the first
teams lineup included some new men.
Barrett was back at quarter and Cool
at centre. Rees and J. ID. McCutcheon
took care of the ends and Hyland was in
at right guard. Collyer had williamson S
place at left tackle. The latter's arm Is
still troubling him and IL is doubtful II
he will get into the game very soon.

was found to be superficial. but Or.

team against Trinity last Saturday has
caused good deal OF comment from the

the squad are in good condition. and this
leads the students TO inquire whether the
coaching is not responsible for the team g
poor showing.
Hobbs has used few forward passes TO
date and has not tried any trick plays. II
Is understood that he Is saving all his for
nations and passes for the big game with
Williams next month. but the loss OF the
last three games is not particularly pleas
ing to the student body or alumni.

this afternoon the varsity was unable to
score until the last five minutes OF n hard
