the kick out of everything.
The football doctors who threaten
TO amputate the tumble are carry

Is the element OF chance that makes
football, or any other game. fasci-
mating. And what would become OF
the scribes who write football
stories for the magazines? In at
least SO per cent OF our gridiron
tales the unknown scrub, Phineas
Feriwinkle. picks up the ball on his
vineyard line and scoots down the
field for touchdown, winning the
game and retrieving the honor OF
his alma mater just as the whistle
is about to pierce the autumn air.
BY all means, let US preserve the
tumble for the sake OF literature,
IL not for the sake of football.

HAMPDEN EXCELS
in MAD DANE ROLE
1t Even Improves on Deft
Touches Applauded Here
Year Ago.

Walter Hampden and his COM
pany gave Hamlet" last night be-
fore an audience at Polls The ater
whose size and enthusiasm con-
trasted with the reception accorded
Macbeth" the preceding evening.
The large attendance was partly
due, no doubt, to the fact that the
play will not be given again during
the week.
The fact may be regretted, for
the production, fine as it was a
year ago. has noticeably Improved
in more than one respect. Mr..
HaDpden has not let his, portrayal
of the Dane rest contented under
praise, but has developed 1t with
touches that show continuing care
and study. All the players have
mellowed in their parts and the
tragedy now runs its course
with admirable smoothness. Allen
Thomas development of the humor-
Gus element in Polonius is espe-
cially noteworthy.
The appearance of Miss Mabel
Moore as ophelia offered the only
phase of novelty. Miss Moore i'm
parted to the lines a delicate and
appf aiing sweetness, and met the
need of the mad scenes with power
and resourcefulness. Her appear
ance as Juliet this evening will
give particular added interest to
the Hsmpden production of Shake
speare's love tragedy.

Males Founder
In Defeat Before

Subpoena" was the word that
spelled defeat for the men of the
Parkview Citizens Association at
an old-fashioned spelling bee last
night at the Parkview' School, prov
ing that women will not only have
the last word but in all probability
will spell IL correctly.
The first blow came to the male
contingent when the president OF
the association, George b. Russell,
could not spell received" He
struggled manfuly. but after sew
eral ludicrous attempts gave II up.
The second blow came with the
word "knicknack." Letters issued
from masculine mouths, making
many words-words that Webster
in his widest dreams had never
heard of, but not one spelled
.knicknack."
The battle lasted more than an
hour and q half, and the women.
although outnumbered six TO
twenty, came through with coIors
flying, the winner of the frst prize
being Miss Dorothy Russle and Mrs.
H. James the second prize winner.
