In the second half, Wentworth
broke loose. Bradfeld came in
to his own and never played
more brilliantly. He would flash
through the Kemper players like
a streak dribbling the ball, and
either toss a basket himself
or zip it to Walter, who would
make the goal. Kemper became
bewildered and in spite of the
many changes in their lineup.
none of them could handle Brad
field. And besides this, Brad
field made eight free throws out
of twelve chances. Kemper was
very weak in this department
and made only three out of ten.
Wenner, too, came back and
played a magnificent game. He
played under the basket on free
throws and invariably captured
the ball when the basket was
missed Millet and Stricken
were the same little rat terriers

Governor Hyde,s Expenses.


That Governor Hyde has spent
much of his time in st. Louis
and Kansas City during the first
year of his administration is in.
Dictated in huge expense ac.
counts filed in the office of State
Auditor Hickman. Twenty-siS
visits are recorded to st. Louis
and nineteen to Kansas City.
The expense accounts paid by
the State for the Governor give
the impression that at times
the executive offices were trans
ferred to a pullman car on the
Missouri Pacific railroad be-
tween the two cities. During 10
months of 1921 the State paid
a total of $803.O5 for the Gov
ernor's travels, including a trip
to the "old home town" of Tren-
ton, where the executive con-
trolled an automobile agency.
A large part of the expenses
were for pullman fare, these
items totaling $174.O3. Taxicabs,
hotels, meals, railroad fare, tel
ephones and kilograms made up
the other expenses. Besides the
many railroad trips the Cover

The Second Game.

In the second basket ball game
with Kemper, played Tuesday
night, Wentworth's five demon
strated to the crowd why they
are champions-superiority in
every department of the game.
While Wentworth was making
the game a runaway race, Cog
lizer, Kemper's captain, showed
himself up as "a poor sport.
Coglizer, heretofore, was admir-
ed by every sport-loving citizen
In Lexington, who had seen him
In action, but Tuesday night he
nulified this admiration by his
outbursts of temper and unnec-
essary roughness. Mr.. Coglizer
needs severe disciplining or he
will soon be relegated to the
has-beens in high class athletic
circles. He is a splendid athlete,
but unless his coach subdues
the lad, he will be more of a
menace than a help.

gan just like the one the night

caught up. The first half end

POET FOND OF ODD PETS
Rossett Said to Have Lavshed Affec-
tion on All Sorts of Birds and
Animals.

Among the eccentricities of Dante
Gabrielle Rossetti was his passion for
strange pets. Many queer "beastie"
was to be found in his London home
in Cheyne walk. His brother, in his
Memoirs" says that Dante Gabriel
had no liking for an animal on account
Of its beauty, but that he preferred
rather the quaint, odd, or grotesque.
His pets were strangely various.
There were dogs, owls, rabbits, door
mice, hedgehogs, wombats, armadillos,
kangaroos, wallabies, deer, white
mouse with her brood, a racoOn, squir-
rels, mole, raven, jaclIdaw,
laughing jackasses, parrot, pea
cock, chameleons. green lizards, and
Japanese salamanders. The animals
upon which the poet spent his warm
est affections were a wombat and u
wOodchucx. He would sit with these
fat, lumpish quadrupeds IN his arms
by the hour, dandllng them, gently
scratching at their cheeks or noses,
or making the woodchuck's head and
hind paws meet. Each of them was
his housemate for time, and each
expired without warning.

Area This Year is 1000 Less Than
Last According to Statistics
The area sown to winter wheat in
Delaware this fall is estimated at
los, 900 acres which is 1000 acres less
than in the fall of 1921, says the crop
statistican in Baltimore for the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Condition on December l was rs per
cent. against SO on December 1 last
year, and 10-year average of 81 per
cent. Farm price per bushel on De-
cember 1 is reported by the farmers
at 1O8 cents, compared with SO cents
same day a year ago. The area sown
to rye this fall in Delaware totalled
about ALSO acres, about 95 per cent.
of that of last fall. Condition on De-
cember l average 83 per cent, against
81 year ago, and a 10-year average
of SO. According to the statist, the
decrease in acreage and low condition
of both crops are in large measure due
to the very dry fall, which hindered
preparation of the land and germina-
ton. Some farmers say they are dis
couraged over the low price wheat
fetches nowadays, and have curtailed
planting accordingly. The area sown
to winter wheat in Maryland this fall
is estimated at 555,000 acres, which is
$4,000 acres less than in the fall o1
