Agricultural College News-Notes:-
he custom Of hanging up our stock
ings at Christmas goes back to a le-
gend Of the fourth century. Those
were the days Of the Bishop Of Myra,
whom We know as Saint Nicholas, the
patron of children. 1t is said that he
inheirited great wealth and gave away
lavishiy.
One day st. Nicholas learned that
q certain nobleman was in great pow
erty and in desperate straits because
he had no marriage portion for his
three daughters. That night the Saint
went to the nobleman's house hoping
that a way would be opened for him
to help secretly. Suddenly the moon
came out from behind q cloud and
showed him an open window to room
in which the nobleman and his three
daughters were sitting. He threw his
purse thru the window and fled. The
second night he came again and threw
q purse for the second daughter thru
the window. The third night the
nobleman hid himself near the window
and when st. Nicholas came near the
window he grasped his clothing and
cried: "Oh Nicholas! servant Of God!
why seek to hide thyself7" Then the
saint made the nobleman promise that
he would never tell anyone Of his
generous gift.
From this incident in the life Of st.
Nicholas, the practice has grown to
older people Of secretly giving to little
children and friends. Usually these
gifts are sweets or bon-bons, hidden in
the shoe or stocking where they must
be discovered the first thing in the
morning.
In the old converts the school girls
used to hang their stockings on the
her to recommend them to the great
st. Nicholas Of her chamber. In the
course Of time the custom of hanging
up stockings has been transferred
from the eve Of st. Nicholas birth, the
9Th Of December. to the eve Of Christ

BRITISH GOLF PLAYER
FEARS AMERICAN GAME
Duncan Says Barnes and Hagen
May Win, Unless Britishers
"Perk Up"

The announcement that Jim Barnes
will go to England as representa-
tive of the Sunset Hill Country Club.
to play in the open golf championship
tournament of Great Britain this
year, is arousing much interest
abroad.
George Duncan, one OF the leading
pros in England in commenting on
the proposed invasion of walter
Hagen. the open champion here, md
Barnes is quoted as saying:
II think Big jim Barnes is stiil an
Englishman. but Hagen is home
bred as they say in the United States
Some one will have to be doing some
thing better at Deal this year than
was done at st. Andrews last year
ir We are to keep the championship
on this side of the Atlantic.
Both of these players are bigger
and better than Jack McDermott- who
got near to Taylor at Hoylake-he
finished fourth. Hagen has just as
much confidence as McDermitt had
and ia, as l say, a better golfer.
Barnes is a player similar to
James Braid; He hits the ball long
way and uses his physical power eH-
tremely well in that respect. In
America he is described as the
goods"

MISSING CUP STILL LOST,
50 VIRGINIA MEN REPORT
South Atlantic Trophy to Be Re-
placed, Say Charlottesville
Athletic Mentors.

Three years ago the University of
Virginia annexed the South Atlantic
Intercollegiate Athletic Association
The Virginia men took the cup to
Charlottesville. 'tis said, where it re-
ported in Anderson's book store.
Year before last Georgetown an
nexed championship on Homewood
Field and Virginia failed to respond
with the championship cup. George
town wrote to the Charlottesville men
but heard nothing from them in re-
gard to the cup.
Last spring the championship meet
ended up in a dispute. Hopkins was
awarded the meet because lie Gendre
was disqualified for knocking down a
hurdle which was not in his lane.
Judges failed to see the Georgetow
lad who flashed in fourth in the cen
tury.
There was a grand mix-up, in which
Gustavus Kirby and other leading
intercollegiate dignitaries were asked
to decide the issue. 1t was ruled that
lie Gendre should not have been dis
qualified, and that the fourth place
point should have been awarded to
the Hilltoppers. This gave George
town the meet.
Then began the hunt for the cup,
which was supposed to remain at
Virginia. Pop Lanigan at Virginia
wrote up saying he knew nothing of
the cup. DIR. w. a. Lambeth wrote
to President III. c. Byrd that the cup
would be looked up, and that if it
wasn't around another would be pro-
duced which Virginia would pay for.

TWOGOOD BATTLES
REDONFL0OR
Tech Meets Central, and West;
ern Takes on Eastern at
Catholic University.
By Tad

Tech and Central, greatest OF rivals
in scholastic athletics here, will fur
nish the excitement today in the
Washington High School Athletic
League championship basketball
games at Catholic University. East
ern and Western will fill in an after =
noon which is expected to be chock
full of thrills.
A Central-Tech engagement always
brings out the full strength of both
schools, and today's game Is to be no
exception. Both school shave won
their opening clashes. Todsy's meet
ing will serve to give ? line on
temporary leader.
Eastern and Western, too. can be
looked upon to give a frst rate con-
test to the many high school fans
who are expected out. A last minute
hitch on officials precludes the possi.
biIity of knowing just what men will
handle the engagements today.
Tech defeated business in the
opener, while Central won out over
Western. Business has won and lost
and Eastern and Western have lost III
their starts.

DECISION COMING
SOON ABOUT SCRAP
Carpenters Manager Thinks
Contest Will Be Held Near
New York"

PARIS, Jan. 16.--The date and con-
dltions OF the Battle between Jack
Dempsey and Georges Carpenter for
the heavyweight championship OF the
world Will be definitely settled within
Two or three days. VI. Descamps, the
Frenchman's manager, declared today.
Descamps said the bout will TAX e
place some time between the first of
September and the last OF Novcm-
bcr," and that IL probably would be
staged in New JERSEY, cor some other
point near New York"
This forecast followed receipt of
an offer from Tex Rickard, the Amer
lean promoter.
The contract with Carpenter held
by Charles Cochrane, the British pro-
moter. expires February l, according
to DescampeR. (Cochrane. now in New
York, says his contract ''runs well
into 1921.")
"I do not believe there is any chance
OF holding the fight anywhere but in
America" said Descamps, who places
the offer from Rickard at the top OF
n list OF four SERIOUS offers" from the
United States. While Richard did not
specify any location. Carpenters
manager said he understands the
American favors New Jersey. Des-
camps does not consider the eight
round law in that state any bar to
holding the fight there.
"The fight will be a matter OF only
a few rounds" he said. "In fact it
will not last more than four. 1t will
be terrific from the first gong. Both
men will try for an immediate knock
out. 1t will be a death struggle from
the handshakc."
While admitting the mathematical
chances are fairly even. Descamps
said the psychological elements were
in favor OF his protege, and that he
could not conceive of Carpenters de-
feat.
The other three offers Descamps
has under consideration are from
Billy Gibson for Madison Square Car
den; Jim Coffroth, for Tia Juana- and
Dominick Tortorich, for New Orleans
The only worth while offer in Eu-
rope, he said, was from +. Theodore,
o Niennesc sportsman, who proposed
to hold the bout in Paris.
Descamps predicted that at least
n thousand" Frenchmen would 60 TO
America to witness the battle. Car
pentier leaves tomorrow on an eX-
hibition tour OF Belgium.

In last nights engagement the vet

LEW TENDLER IS AGAIN
TRAINING FOR BATTLES

Lew Tender. PhiIadelphias candi-
date for the lightweight title, has
begun training again after an Illness
that has kept him out of the ring for
some months. Tender says that he
means to take things easy until he
fully regains his strength, and that
he will not be ready to enter the ring
until some time next month.
Evidently the story printed in Phil
adelphia to the effect that Tender
was going to desert his manager in
favor OF Billy Gibson was not founded
on fact. Tender denies that he is not
satisfied with his present pilot.
