BY STEPHEN LEACoCK.


Y ATELY there has been much con-
Germ with what is called THE
Criminal Face" 1t appears that
IL there is certain type and
shape Of head and features that
always goes with the commission of
crime. If you have it. there is no es-
cape. You might as well go right away
and ask to board in the penitentiary.
Experts can explain to you this GRIM
inal face, feature by feature and line
by line. But the real trouble with the
expert is that he always knows before
nand that the face he is Analysing Is
that of a man who has committed
crime That colors his conclusions.
What If we we're to put before him, as
criminal the face of a philanthropist?
What then?
Thus we take the picture of a GER
tain face and we know that 1t is in
reality the face of kindly old pro-
fessor. Indeed, We have recently, let
us say, seen it described on the occa-
sion of presentation of his portrait
to the city in the following terms:
PORTRAIT OF A SAGE.
''The face of this distinguished
scholar is known and loved by thou
sands who have listened to his in
spired and inspiring words. 1t is
broad face. kindly face, the face Of
a man with a wide heart. whose
broad lineaments seem to indicate a
corresponding breadth of sympathy.
But there is a firmness. too. in the
wide mouth, and character in the
large but firmly chiseled nostril The
brow slopes nobly from the projecting
frontal bones. the head is wide, of a
width that tells of the capacious brain
within. The ear is large noble, and
mobile. and the scant and SnoWWhlte
hair remains as the mark of honor OF
life spent in the service OF MANKIND
But put the same protrait before
the graphofacial expert, or facial
graphologist, and tell him that 1t Is
a picture of a criminal recently sent
to Jail for life plus 10 years, and ask
him where he can see the tendency to
crime and this is the analysis you
will receive of the countenance OF the
venerable scholar:
DANGEROUS CRIMINAL.
1.-THE photograph is that of male
about go years of age, with marked
criminal tendencies. Note the nat
face, indicating complete absence OF
thinking power. There is something
almost simian or ape-like in the width
of the mouth, while the low, sloped
forehead is but little higher in de-
velopment than that of the most de-
graded savages Such brain as this
man could have would be sunk so
low toward his neck as to be OF little
use to him. The premature loss OF |

Simpsons recent performances in ty-

also equaling the world record for the
furlong on the same day belongs among
the star sprint feats of all time.
The nearest approach to 1t, SO far as
the official records 60, was the speed
flashed by Paddock himself In the ma
tional A. A. U. championships of 1924,
when Good-time Charley, displaying
form he failed to exhibit at the Olym-
pics earlier that year, won the 100" In
9.6 and the 1920" in 2O.8. These per-
formanCes were made in Newark, N. j.,
and tied the world records for both
distances at that time.
Since then Paddock has had his IA
nous 9.5 seconds for the 100" as an
American record--although It is not In
dorsed internationally-and Roland
Locke has lowered the 1920" record to
206.
Simpson thus surpassed Paddocks
feat in both events.

his best days last year, sped the two
sprint distances In 9.6 and 200 In the

sELL-oUT of the Polo GROUND

SELL-OUT Of the Polo Grounds
~ Grounds for the Georgetown
"A New York University foot ball
4 \ battle next November was pre-
dicted today by Chick Meehan,
the Maroon coach.
His announcement at the Varsity G
dinner last night at the Willard that it
would be New York's home coming
game was greeted with ringing applause
by $50 alumni, students and guests of
the Blue and Gray.
The game of last year, won by
Georgetown, 7 to 2, established an adj
vance sale record for both institutions
and only abominable weather, it was
thought, prevented sell-out. More
than $4,000 saw a thriller that may
have been the first of traditional
series.
The famous Tad Jones of Yale joined
Meehan in a double barrelled broad
side against the critics of Spring
practice They flouted the charge of
over emphasis on foot ball.
Jones fearless, honest blue eyes were
fairly akindle and he Numbered to the
heights of oratory in answering an edi-
toriai on over-emhpasiS in the Yale
Daily News.
1.-The young fellow who wrote that
did not express the sentiment either
of the undergraduates or the alumni"
he said.
How can there be overemphasis, he
asked, on game that teaches lessons In
such virtues as loyalty, perseverance,
determination and self-sacrifice?
There can be no overemphasiS on
these" he declared.
The Rev. DR.. w. Coleman Nevis,
S. j., president of Georgetown, gave his
hearty Endorsement of Lou Little as
athletic director and expressed the hope
that Georgetown would push on and on
in athletics, which he deemed a help
full influence in preparing the student
for the career to come. Intramural
sports we're stressed by the educator.
II one would Judge by the volume of
applause when the athletes were award
ed letters, Maurice Mccarthy, jr., cap
tain of basket ball and track, is George
towns most popular athlete, closely
followed by Jim Mooney, captain-elect
of foot ball
But the veteran coach Of track ath-
letes, John D. O'Reilly. outshone them.
The applause at his introduction
amounted to an ovation. The silver
haired wizard in all these years has
won spot all his own in the heart of
old Georgetown.
The new tumble rule is a year late,
looking at 1t from New York Univer-
sity's viewpoint, observed Meehan, with
a glance in the direction Of Ken Pro-
vincial.
Jones summoned to mind some of
the tough games lost on fumbles by
Yale and sorrowed that the rule hadn't
been made retroactive.
Tad declared he had known men who
had carried to the grave the miserable
thoughts Of games they had lost by
fumbling. He and Meehan agreed that
the loss of the ball and distance of
punt we're penalty enough for drop
ping the leather.
Meehan declared he was utterly sin
cere in pronouncing the Georgetown
team that beat the Maroon last Fall the
smartest he had ever seen. On at least
four occasions. he said, the sharp wits
of Lou Littles well schooled warriors
prevented Ken Strong from getting
away.
