The 1914 team was the lightest that
has represented Hampden Sidney for
several years, averaging only 152
pounds to the man. In all OF the
eleven games played ian unusually
heavy schedule for q college team +.
the Garnet and Gray faced no team
that did not outweigh 1t at least ten
pounds TO the man, and In the game
with Roanoke was outweighed more
than twenty pounds to the man. This
disparity % weight was partly coun-
terba lanced by the feetness of the
oaaks and ends, and by their skill in
handing the forward pass. Yet this
difference in weight constituted very
serious handicap, which even the
pluck. skill and aggressiveness OF the
players could not altogether overcome.
But while so greatly outweished, in
the league series the team scored
total Of SO points, as against "A scored
by their opponents-shuttingo out their
rivals IN three games and falling to
score in only one game out of six.
AS indicating the physical condition
OF the men and the grit and spirit dis
played. Il is worthy of mention that in
five successive contests only one player
was taken out of the game on account
OF injury, and In one game not q
single substitution was made,
The team will lose by graduation
this year Bowling. Warwick and w. T.
Darlington. The other letter men will
probably return to college, SO that
the football outlook for 1915 is ex-
eeptionally bright.

From the WORK VI the county equal.
ization board to date, 1t is practically
certain that the assessed valuation OF
property In Maury county will be ma.
terially increased this year.
The board has practically finished
all but the secopI, seventh and ninth
districts. It will probably take two
weeks more to complete the work In
these districts, as they are three Of
the largest in the county, containing
as they do Columbia, Mt. Pleasant
and Theta.
The assessed valuation last year
was nearly $15.0o,ooU, counting the
pubic service corporations like the
railroads, telegraph lines and tele-
phones There will not be a material
increase in tue latter, but in going
over the books the board has found
much property tina. has not hitherto
been listed for taxation. This, of
course, will be added to the tax
books. There has been a decrease in
some districts, as some property has
been found to be assessed too high
for the and surrounding 1t.
The equalization board IL finding
the same old trouble with the anti
quated and Obsolete method Of as.
sessment. The members are the VIC
tins of an obsolete system of assess.
ing PROPERTY N from one-fou,th to
one-half its real value. They realize
this fact, and none complain about it
more than they d.. But yet they
know that a change would prvvcke a
