LEXINGTON, Va, Nov. 7.Defin-
tie announcement has been made by
VIM. I. authorities that the entire
corps Of cadets win be permitted to
attend the n. M. university Of
Kentucky game to be played on
Laidley Field. Charleston. w. Va,
next Saturday. The team and corps.
with a number of alumni and Off.
GERS OF the institute with their fami.
lies. viii leave Lexington on =
special train Friday evening. and
viii arrive at Charleston early Sat
urday morning.
Although the corps had voted
earlier in the season to accompany
the team to Charleston, it was
thought that the expense incident
to the Charlottesville and Richmond
trips would make it impossible for
many cadets to enjoy the third
trip. Matters were satisfactorily ad-
Justed. however, when Major b. II.
Clarkson, head coach and graduate
manager declared that. the ". M.
Athletic Association would bear the
expense of the 900 members of the.
cadet CORDS to Charleston.
The rivalry between the Kentucky
Wildcats and the ". M. I Flying
squadron is very keen, and Coach
Clarkson was anxious for the ".
NJ. I. corps and band to be on hand
to back the team to the limit. In
the three previous games between
the two elevens, ". M. I. has been
returned the victor twice.
In 1912 the cadets squeezed a 30
victory, but in 1921, the Wildcats
evened the score by winning IA to
Z. Last year v. M. I. triumphed
again, 10 to 8, though the Ken
tuckians came within a few yards
Of tieing the score in the final
minutes of bitterly fought game.
Kentucky is reputed to have one
of the strongest machines in the
South this season, and ". M. I.
coaches and players expect the
hardest battle Of the year when
they meet the Wildcats on neutral
81 ound.
The Flying Squadon Is particular
ly anxious to make q good I'm
preston on it's first appearance in
Charleston, and both teams will be
battling to improve their positions
in the race for Southern Conference
honor.

Of SOUTH

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. South
ern conference football assumed a
business-like aspect today, as lead

final figures in the percentage table.
The, most colorful battle scheduled
was that between Vanderbilt's Com

Tornado at Nashville, which shut
up shop and became a veritable
college campus for the day. Tech
was conceded better than an even
chance to win, with considerable
possibility Of an upset.

was to clash with the strong

The Washington times., 1925-11-07


He is probably the freakiest
appearing fighter that ever
poked either leg through set
of trunks. And when that boy
is fully clad in the boxing ring,
the hardened fans yell for him
to go home and get on some
clothes.
If KapIan does stoop so low
as to bend so high as to con-
descend to meet Finnegan. he'd
better get an extension ladder
and an elastic elbow.
Yes sir, Finnegan in a full
compliment of battling livery
could be mistaken for either
one of the gold dust twins.
Well never forget his artistic
gestures against Johnny Dun
dee. Johnny's reputation as a
Charleston exponent is nothing
to be sneezed, coughed or
laughed at, but Finnegan had
an answer for everything In
Johnny's vocabulary and Finne-
gan's replies threw echoes.
Because of Honeyboy's pecu-
liar build, he's a tough bird to
hit. If you're not careful, i'm
stead of punching the corpus
deficit itself, you'll connect with
the deucus tecum.
In criminal parlance, that is
a legal phrase for shooting a
shadow instead of its papa.
Mistaken identity is a shorter
term for such a coincidence.
He's just that frail, is Finne-
gan. He makes up in keel what
he lacks in beam. And those
propellers revolve at something
like 500 r. P. NJ.

Magical PotVer Seen
in Shorthand Writing

The anclents appear to have regard
ed their shorthand writer's as pos

magic. Ausonius, poet Of the Fourth
century, addressing shorthand wrl'

movement Is hardly perceptlble, flies
over the waxy surface; and thoug'i
my tongue runs over long phrases, you
fix my Ideas on your tablets long be

centuries there was no shorthand IN

lection Of arbitrary signs for large
number Of common words. There was
no attempt to provide shorthand

Habits of Silence Inbred

In the old days OJlbway children
were taught to be seen and not heard,
for to be heard might have meant
death. When the scream of the boot
owl or other strange noises came from
the woods, they Struggled closer, but
kept all the quieter, for the noise
which they heard was liable to be the
signal of prowling enemy, and to
have cried would have been TO have
revealed the hiding place Of the family
or tribe.
Thus through the thousands Of
years that the Indians lived In con
slant danger OF attack, the habit Of
silence was bred In the blood. Even
now the Ojlbway youngster VIII take
severe jolt without sound, and
even come up smiling.
