eligible to play next season. He is in
eligible for varsity teams at Dartmouth
after this year on account of the three

Dartmouth. In fact he holds the Knox
record for the shot put. Spears has
been probably enc of the best football
players that has come to Hanover in
recent years.
Rumors following differences be
tween football coaches credit Supt.
Lipps of the Carlisle Indian school
with planning to give up football.
With the receipts from the games that
the Indian team always turns into the
school treasury and the fact that yhe
team could play many more games
than it does were it possible in the
short season, makes this seem among
the very vague possibilities.
The inter-sectional scholastic games
do not appear to have settled the ques-
tion of superiority in football. The
Everett-Detroit high game at Detroit
resulted i'll scoreless tie. The DePaul
academy team CT Chicago defeated
Beverly high, 80 to :, but Hamilton
Institute of New York defeated the
East Aurora Un.) high school eleven,
Ii to II at New York. This last game
was decided On the little matter OF
goal kicking after touchdowns.
Brattleboro claims its meanest man
is one who stole an electric light from
he roof of the railroad staticn But
We have heard CT n Brattleboro man
who borrowed SO of Bellows Falls
man during the world series in Octo-
Der and won a bet with the money
After the game he came TO the Bellows
Fails man and told him Ct the amount
he had won. To date the subscriber of
he money has not been repaid. The
man who stole the electric light is a
riker compared with the other fellow.
