against the Kenyon Freshman team
at the athletic park Wednesday af-
ternoon by the score of IA to IL. One
OF the touchdowns of the Freshman
eleven was hotly disputed, the clam
being that Abbott showed the ball
across after 1t was down. Both of
Mt. VernOn's tallies were registered
fairly
The first period was scoreless.
The college team seemed to have an
edge on Mt. Vernon, due to daily
practice with the regular varsity
eleven, which it frequently defeats.
Their attack was straight football
and generally gained. Numerous
penalties slowed up their play. Rush
ing carried the ball to Mt. Vernon's
five-yard line when time was called
on the period.
The ball was taken to the other end
of the field with the start of the
second quarter and there Abbott
bucked over. This was the disputed
play, but Referee King allowed it
and Abbott later made the score s

London. May 1.-English snortsmen arc
now gradually gaining a clear idea of
what games will and will not be PLAYED
this summer. Exhibition cricket is def
nitely stopped. and Yachting is a sport
which will certainly disappear
One sport which ono would think must
disappear is polo. because its best ex-
ponents are all at the front. But cav
airy leaders have always recognized its
peculiar value for men who will have to
command squadrons, and men like Sir
John French and Sir Douglas Haic sup
ported it keenly. The war has already
proved that the best polo men develop
into the best cavalry officers. Accord
inClv the London polo clubs are to keep
going. and birmingham, Ranelagh and

officers quartered near town or on leave
to get n good game.

and il Is possible that they arc Of the
same original stock as the American
Hntons.
The New England Huntons have a ira
ditiOn in their family that their early
ancestors fled from France. on the revo-
cation of the Edict of Nantes. to the
island of Jersey and from Jersey came
to the New England colonies.
However. there IS no way of finding
ont. at this date. just what the origin
Of the family was. The name is from
Humid. hound or dog. and ton. a generic
name for place. Hence. Hunton meant
first place devoted to hunting. The
priory Of Hunton in England was named
because hunting with dogs was INDUCED
N there. For this same reason several
places in England We're named Hunton,
and 1t is not AT all improbable that some
families of the name took it because. at
tn" time when last names came into
fashion they happened to be living in a
parish named Hunton. Hanton. Hinton

doubtless all from the same source.
