TOUGH BEEF is BEST

The muscles oS the average jaw, de-
veloped merely by the necessary work
performed IN chewing food, possess
power enough to lift from the ground
a man as large as Jack Dempsey. This
magazine statement, made by Dr.. Ar
ern University Dental school, in the
Popular Science Monthly, is based on
tests of the jaw power of thousands
of persons. The jaw strength Of those
examined, he writes. varied between
25 pounds and 26O pounds, the last fig
ure being the maximum strength which
the apparatus used in the test could
record. Possibly, he states. the Jaw
strength of many persons is more than
300 pounds and the average seems well
above III pounds, which is about the
maximum weight which the average
man can lift from the ground with one
hand. The toughest beef will yield
to a grinding force Of from 10 to sc
pounds, says Doctor Black. Mutton
may be chewed with a force Of be
tween 80 and IS pounds. Roast veal
requires from 35 to As pounds, roast
pork from 80 to 80 pounds, corned
beef the same and brolled ham from
40 to co pounds. Cold boiled tongue
requires only between three to five
pounds Of jaw pressure. Doctor Black
advises everyone to use the teeth free
ly on hard foods as a way Of strength
ening them, adding that teeth in good
condition will not be harmed by crack
ing nuts, or by closing on small stones,
bones, bird shot, bits OF wood or sim
liar materials which may accidentally
get into food.

Gowns, robes, frocks, blouses and
petticoats were worn by men as
everyday attire. The gown, a thou
sand years ago, was robe Of fur
worn by monks, who were feeble or
In ill-health. Today university stu
dents, clergymen and lawyers all wear
gowns. Nowadays, when parson is
dismissed from the church he is said
to be ''unfrocked." Frocks originally
were big gowns with large, open
sleeves, and were worn as an outside
robe by monks and friars, says the
Detroit News. The frock of today
owes its origin 10 that first frock
sported by the old friars and monks.
So, too. does the smock-frock which
countrymen once wore. A mans short
coat was once known as q pettycoat,
and that word survives today TO de-
scribe the underskirt worn by women
Knights Of old wore a silk overall to

FENCING AND SWIMMING
ADOPTED BY VIRGINIA

Two new sports have been added
to the winter athletic program at
the University Of Virginia. A fencing
team and swimming team have
been formed with the object of
presenting every possible means Of
athletic competition in order to have
as many students competing in
one branch as possible. Already
the indoor season at the University
of Virginia furnishes boxers.
wrestlers and basketball players
with heavy programs. and the ad-
ditions OF swimming and fencing
will allow other athletes to COM
pete during the winter months.
Trial meets in both branches have
been held, with interclass and inter-
fraternity competition. This has
been done in order to allow the
coaches to get an estimate Of the
material with which they will have
to work. After the Christmas holt
days the varsity teams will be or
ganized and intercollegiate competi-
ton will start.

CATHOLICS WIN

Those City Club basketeers.
chesty from a very successful sea-
son last year, victory over
Catholic University being included,
had some of the zest taken from

sity turned the tables in a brilliant,
throbbing, fighting contest in the
City Club. Freddy Rice, who has
threatened to quit coaching more
times than any other man, showed
that he had been working hard with,
his boys, and the sweet 2S-to-21
victory which they rang up did him
q world Of good.
The game was a see-saw affair
all the way. First the City Club
tossers would chuck one in from
the middle OF the court, and then
the Catholics would emulate them.
In the last few minutes of the
game, the lead was alternated twice.

Garvin caught the ball, dribbled
halfway down and then passed TO
Fitzgerald. A return pass found
him under the basket, and he sank
the ball for a neat counter.
With less than two minutes to go,
G. U. resorted to its freezing
game and City Club could not get
near the basket.

basketball team coached by John

squad Of fifty candidates working
out since the first OF the month.
While the team has not been
seen in game It has been giving
first class account Of itself in
practice sessions. The ten games
listed win find no unusually strong
teams visiting here this season. The
Aatchetites have dropped Fordham,

usually get through here on trips
north.
The new gymnasium is proving
unusually attractive for the basket
ers. For the first time in the his
tory OF athletics at the institution
the Hatchetites have unrestricted
use OF a floor for basketball.
Coach Daily is stepping along in
good shape and while the season
viii not start until the first of the
year, has been having practice
scrimmages with the various indie
pendent teams hereabouts, includ-
ing the Corby Baking team, the
Palace Club, Quantico Marines and
others.

White Sox Go to Front
In World Series
With Cubs.

WEST SIDE PARK, CHICAGO.
IN. L. Oct. 13, 19O6.-The White
Sox won out, S-6. in battle of
hits and errors, although they
made six errors in the field. The
Cubs were unable to hit Walsh at
critical moments, and although they
Tailed six runs, they made but
six hits, all told.
The crowd encroacned on the
field throughout the game, and
flies which ordinarily. would have
gone for outs, were turned into
doubles. On the other hand, q
smash by Schultz with the bases
loaded went as double, whereas
without ground rules it might have
gone for more.
Ed Reulbach started for the
Cubs, but was hammered off the
mound in the third, and Pfeister,
who relieved him, lasted until the
next inning, when Orvie Overall
took up the burden. Frank Isbell's
hitting featured the contest, the
big second-sacker getting four hits.
The score:
