Tomorrow Roundup's eleven
invades local territory and they
are determined to bring home
the bacon in real style. The
reason for this is that they
want to better the score that
Klein made against the Bull
dogs. That will be plenty hard
for the Roundup eleven, even
though they r a class "A team
and Klein isn't. We're convinced
that the loss to Klein occurred
on one of the locals off-days
49,. every team has one.
Going by comparative scores,
have found a very interesting
fact. Buffalo defeated Hardin
by one touchdown; Miles City
beat Buffalo By one touchdown,
making them two touciluowns
better than the Bulldogs. Miles
City also beat Roundup-by two
touchdo1ns: therefore the
Roundup eleven and the Bull
dogs should be just about as
evenly matched as any two
teams in the state. OF course,
sometimes comparative scores
don't mean a thing.
When Bob Kenyon sprained
his ankle last week at practice,
a lot of "oh's" and 'ah'S" were
heard from the student body,
but the Bulldogs have an I'M
usually capable reserve in the
person of Jimmy Louk, who
gave a very commendable per-
Torrance against Klein . . .
when it seemed that nobody
could get going. His performance
against Columbus was very good,
too.
If we were to pick an out
standing player against Colum-
bus, it would more than likely
be Gabby Green. He played one
OF the best defensive games
seen all season. And his inter
ception OF a pass, after which
he carried the ball from the
Columbus 42-yard line to the
l4-yard line, was little short 0.
spectacular.
Sonny Heckenlively did an eX-
ceptional job of passing, de
spite the wind, which was al
most as much bother as the
opposing linemen, huh Sonny!!,

RUN LOOSE

1t was all started when that
curly headed little Scotch Sc
nior brought a tiny snake to
school. This was followed by
another snake contribution, a
large and a small one. Mr.. Jes-
sen, the biology teacher, kept
two little ones for quite a while
before they were turned loose
because they did not eat any
thing. The large one was chlor-
oformed, after which a plaster
of paris cast was made of it.
Two tiger salamanders, a large
and a small one, were brought
in but soon died because they
were unacclimated.
A caterpillar was found in
Miss Kurtz' room and herOical-
Iy taken upstairs.

went bug hunting one after
noon. Each student brought in
at least two insects of some
kind.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Because I have been troubled
and cropping, I have made a
hobby of collecting ghost stor-
ies-the simple sincere accounts
of strange happenings. Frankly,
1 do not know why, but such
things have always been myS-
FERROUS to ne. If you will listen
to my story I shall relate to you
one of these strang happenings.
My companion and I spent
our vacation in Freetown where
we lived in a clearinghouse
Late every night I'VE heard heavy
footsteps in the attic, which
was unoccupied. The steps SEEM
ed to circle the floor and then
descend the stairway.
We confided in another board
or. onL7 to learn that she, too,
had heard the steps. One night
we decided to keep watch in the
hall.
About midnight the steps be-
gan circling overhead. Soon
they came down the attic stair
way.
Inc thumps got heavier ~
cry minute until the heaviest
thump and the steps reached
the bottom. They seemed 20
come straight toward us but
there was nothing to see.
We shrank back with fear, a
door slammed. ant our lamp
went out. All was silent.
I can't explain it, but this
happened. Don't you think I
am crazy?

Permits Issued in January
 Less in Value Than in December

Building permits issued by cities and towns in Connecticut were considerably less in total valuation in January than in the final month of 1888, which in itself brought a marked drop in building activity as compared with proceeding months according to the monthly building survey taken by the Department of Sales and Traffic Development of the New Haven Railroad and made public today by w. J. Landon, sales and service agent.
 The railroads survey, taken among 26 communities along its lines, showed that January permits had a total valuation of $1,388 ,03O, which figure was more than $500, 900 less than that of December. The Jan- ,iary total, however, was only slight ly below the permit total of q, l,4O0,- 969 for the corresponding month of 1888.
 Only seven of the 26 municipali- ties recorded building permit gains in January as compared with De- cember. These were Fairfield, Man chester, Meriden, New London, West Haven, Wethersfield and Williman- tic.
 The months list was headed by New London with permits valued at $190, 0,090, while West Hartford and Fairfield were second and third re- spectively. The three leaders in De- cember were Hartford, New Britain and West Hartford, in that order.
 In contrast to their building fig. ures of January, 1888, IS of the 26 cities and towns reported gains. These were Danbury, Fairfield, Hamden, Manchester, Meriden, New London, Norwich, South' Norwalk, Stamford, Stratford, Waterbury, West Hartford, West Haven, Weth- ersfield and Willimantic.
 Comparative building permit data for January, 1889, and for January, 1888, were reported in the railroads s si1rvev as follows.
