London.-"You can't teach an old

10 the question Of how an Englishman
puts on his shirts. Just few minutes
ago the writer went into haberdash'
cry shop In the Strand.

litter.
"Why, what's the differenceT he
was asked.
you see, an Englishman won't have
coat shirt; he wants to slip II on
over his head" said the shirtmaker,
The filter then told Of several Incl
dents about his countrymen who came
into this particular shop. The other
day one customer was thoroughly an
CRY. He had been sold dozen Ameri-
can coat shirts.
II can't get into them" he said.
"All right, we will sew them up"
said the shirt filter.
Another Englishman had bought
some American shirts and came back
with them In a very bad temper.
"What do you mean by selling me
shirts without a collar buttonhole In
the backY was his objection. why,
/ had to cut a hole through with a
penknife."
The polite salesman tried to show
his customer the benefit OF the Ameri-
can shirts; how fine 1t was not to have
the collar button touch the neck. But
he would have none OF those kind of
shirts.
"Why," said he, II can't reach the
back Of my neck to put the button
In"
"You don't have to-" said the filter
"put It in before you put your shirt
on"
That made the Britisher angry.
II won't do It." he said. II always
put my collar buttons In after my shirt
is on my back. And I won't have you
tell me how to do It."
Bars Hangers on Shirts.
Though unconvinced on that point
the salesman tried to tell the English
man how fine It was to wear a coat
shirt; that 1t didn't ruffle up ones
hair when put on. mo, you can't sell
me those shirts. I comb my hair af-

Races Function"
One London paper has paragraph
about Walter Hagen taking of his
sweater just as he was about to make
a drive. It simply isn't done here.
Rather serious criticism greeted the
first appearance Of the American ten
mis- players because they dressed SO
sloppily. An Englishman has his
trousers pressed for tennis Just as he
has them pressed for dinner, and he
usually wears beautiful blue coat
with brass buttons when he plays.
The writer asked an English friend
why he always wore a silk hat and
cutaway to the races. "Well, you see
it's a function and I must" he re
piled.
All these differences were discussed
by group last night. The Americans

MUCH GLOOM At

But Stansburg Says 1t

charge here in space extending
over six years was the lot of the
Mountainous at Little" Washing.
ton on Thursday and of course
deep gloom pervades the atmos.
phere here. The only thing that
prevents its being even deeper Is
the fact that the majority OF the
university students as well as the
football players have gone to their
homes for the Thanksgiving re-
cess. The score was $50 and when
it is considered that West Virginia
is supposedly small college" IN
football circles, and has gone
through six campaigns with no
worse downfalls, the record on the
whole is not bad. Few colleges or
universities have a better record
for his period.
Little mention Is made here OF
the peculiar heavinesS OF the mud
that covered the w. & ]. field, or
OF the numerous ltrOciOus FUN
bles that to a very great extent
gave w. & J. the opportunities
which her power converted Into
touchdowns. But W. & j. is lauded
on every hand for the strength OF
her team and especially for the re-
markable comeback that was stag
ed following the Carnegie Tech dis
aster OF a week ago. West Vir-
gipia has met w. & ]. four times
in football since MCIntire has
coached here and the Mountaineer
tutor stated that he never before
had seen even the strong w. & j.
teams Of the past display such
fighting spirit as well as SO much
we'll executed and up-to-date foot
ball. The Interference of the Red
and Black was almost irresistible
and the running Of Erickson and
West on the heavy field brought
forth unstinted praise. from local
adherents.
There is little to be said for the
play Of the West Virginia team
Thursday There was no occasion
in the whole game when the team
got the ball and started what APP
peared to be q promising offensive
that a tumble with w. q j. recov'
cry did not turn up. The backs
wera all guilty in this respect.
Beck, Martin, LytIe. Hill and Daw'
son all practically handing the
ball TO W. & ]. at different times.
The fumbllng Of the backs, how.
ever, was equalled by the poor
game which was put up by the line.
Never this season have the, West
Virginia forwards been SO clearly
outplayed. In fact the charging

Too Much Hurry.

Robert w. (Tiny) Maxwell, who
was referee In the Pitt-Penn State
battle in his review Of the game
states that the over anxlousness
of Tom Davies cost Pitt the game.
When Tom tried for a field goal
from the 10 yard line at the start
OF the third quarter, Maxwell says
he got off his kick too soon, in
fact, the ball was not on the ground
but still in the hands of Holleran
when Tom booted it and the goal
was missed by foot. Guess the

good in football. Maxwell is sport.
