o''' w. NOTES

The recent Cavalier and Langdon
game was one of the most unjustly
officiated gained that have ever been
played in tho state. From the start
of the game up to the time that
Langdon scored the touch down Cava-
lier didn' think it necessary to be
crooked. But after they failed to
score their referee took it upon him
self to help them. Kibler, their
referee, made many nice gains for
them. six yards at a time by. unjust
penalties. There were also many
underhanded tricks pulled by the
players, such as -sluggiug end kicking
in pile-up. The referee by the way
was the man who hit Coach Halla at
the Langdon-C Cavalier game some
years ago in argument about the
game of that year. If any of these
statements are asked to be proven
| please refer TO the Grafton football
players present at the game. The
Langdon team owed part of their
good playing to the help of the girls
who accompanied them.

THE STORY OF UPSON.

Upson is given in Barber's British names as n local name. but it is not easy to locate any place or person of that name in England of an early date. The name is undoubtedly from Hopson. meaning the son of Robert. Hoppins and Hobson have the same meaning. Tobias Hobson, 15I4-1631, was an English livery man who re- quired his customers to take the horse nearest to the door. Hence the phrase Hobson's choice.
 A somewhat extended but not cx- haustive research of British and Am crican works fails to disclose record of any person by the name of upson prior to 1885 when stephen Upson, lawyer. at g, came to America fin the Increase. Thomas Upson was of Hartford. Conn. in 163s.
 There are three British crest for the namc Hopson. three places named Upson. nine works containing Upson genealogy, three persons of that name have served in the United States congress and there were twenty-four Tpson families of Connecticut in ITg0.

OUTINGS AND REUNIONS.

Various New Britain organizations and clubs are planning and holding annual outings at this time. The col
 lcges and universities are about to hold their commencement exercises, at which times will come reunions of men who were graduated many years ago.
 There lie in such outings and re- unions greater possibilities than merely the opportunity to enjoy the day. In the case of annual gather ings of men and women associated in business. there comes the chance to talk shop with fhe broader vision inspired by the pleasant surround ings and the good nature that Is in evidence on such occasions.
 No direct problem of the day is apt to come under discussion when men meet for such an outing. The mat tcrs In which they are mutually in tercsted arc apt to be treated in more theoretical discussions. and it is we'll that it is SO. on such expedi- tions or gatherings the influences at work arc tho better influences. and men arc wise to take advantage of them for their own sakes as well as for tho sake of those outside their circle who deal with them.
 Greater possibilities lie in college reunions when one meets after per 
 friends with whom one studied and played before the serious problems of life presented themselves. There comes the reckoning. Tn a small way. Each man asks himself if he has made as much of his life as rom" or Dick" What has his old friend done th~s~i~--<as not? If that ac- has beefr -ss-.-sater. what brought it about? What hssndicaps have been overcome; what rule esf Iise has brought success and what v,s brought failure?
 Spilled milk k a bad thing to cry over. But spilled milk should be made use of. The longer the sep nration that preccdes the reunion the greater the advantage to he gained from 1t. One is able to remember faintly the old ambitions. one should bo able to recall the first break from those ambitions. those ideals, and trace the cause of tho loss
 The man who attends an outing" or a reunion and comes away none the better. none the wiser. no more determined to make an improvement inspired by the achievements of his fsllows. misses great chauce to bring to himself the profit that will benefit himself and those with whom he comes in contact thereafter.
