tons, is also q splendid player, and his work
as half-back has been much admired. He
is known among college men as the coming
halt-back of the country. A very interest
ing member of the Princeton eleven this
year is Edgar Allen Poe, the nephew OF the
author OF ''The Raven" He plays quarter
back for the team and is also captain. He
is the youngest captain of an eleven in the
intercollegiate Association, but fills his
place admirably.
Harding, the end rush of the Harvard
eleven, is a giant in size, and, it is said, one
of the toughest PLAYERS Of the year. He is
greatly to be dreaded by any man who comes
into violent contact with him. In the old
Rugby slugging games Harding would have
been in his element. AS long as he keeps
his temper he is a formidable opponent; but
his adversaries are always glad to see him
on the Harvard eleven, because they think
he may sooner or later be ruled off and so
cripple his team. As for the others of Har-
wards eleven, they are, as rule, "dark
horses to most people. Nobody will know
what they are good for until the big matches
are played. N. A. JENNINGS.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-11-24

in 1884 it was formally adopted as a part Of
the laws of football. Since then every trace
of slugging has been gradually eliminated
from the big college games.
More colleges are taking up the game
every wear. Columbia College has this sea-
son put an eleven in the field to contest for
the intercollegiate championship. The team
being a new one and rather light in the rush
line, of course can stand no chance against
such trained players as Harvard, Yale and
Princeton have in the field; but the Column
bia eleven is playing at every opportunity
and must constantly improve with practice,
so that by next year they may be able to
make stubborn fight for the ch-longed-
for championship.
CHAMPIONSHIP PROBABILITIES.
1t is hard to make any predictions as to
where victory will perch this year. Ali of
the three great football colleges have heavy,
well-trained and skillful elevens. They all
have an immense deal of the nerve, pluck
and GOODNESS under exciting circumstances
which is best expressed by the peculiar
word "Sand."
1t will not be until after the great matches
between Yale and Princeton and Harvard
have been played that the relative merits of
the elevens will be decided. Experts agree
that the Princeton eleven has the greatest
number of fine individual players, and is
not lacking in all that goes to make good
team work. There would seem to be, there
fore, no very good reason why the Prince
ton men should not win the cham pionship
this year. That they will outplay Harvard
NO unbiased judge doubts for an instant,
but when one talks of Yale being worsted
by the Princetons these same good judges
shakes their heads in dubious way, and
say that ''the precedents are against it.
-Four football experts out of five believe
that Yale is bound 10 win because she has
not lost championship game for several
yearsl This being the feeling, it is not
strange that the outcome of the champion
ship series should be watched with such alb
sorbing interest.
One novel innovation in the training of
football team has been practiced at Prince
ton this year. On rainy days, when the
eleven cannot go out for practice, it has
been the custom of the captain to gather his
men together, and, arranging a number of
checkers on a board in the manner of op-
posing teams, form all sorts of combinations
and quiz the different players as to what
action they would take under such condi-
tions. Their answers are open to discus
sion, and in this way many curious problems
Of the football field are worked out, only to
be tried in actual practice at the first good
opportunity.
A CODE OF SIGNALS.
New and improved systems of signaling
are also devised and practiced. So perfect,
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-11-24

as at the funeral eight years ago. Civic or
CARNATIONS of every kind will participate.
Ex-Presidents Cleveland and Hayes, the
Governor of every State and all the Sena-
tors and members of Congress will be in
vited.
The dedicatory address will be delivered
by Ex-Governor j. D. Cox, and it is not inn
probable that the names of President Ear
rison, Secretary OF State James g. Blaine
and Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew may be in
cluded upon the programme of speakers.
A brief poem will be read by some writer of
national reputation. One of the features
will probably be an appropriate hymn writ
ten for the event and sung by $4,000 school
children.
Memorial Day is day of flowers and they
will be scattered about in boundless pro-
fusion on this occasion. The roadways
leading from the cemetery gates to the mon
ument will be lined and almost paved with
them; while the mound upon which the
monument rests will be a great mountain of
roses. Every child in Northern Ohio will
be asked to bring flowers and they will be
fashioned into monuments of themselves.
The manner in which the interest in the
dead President and in the monument soon
to be dedicated to his memory is maintained
is indicated in the remarkably large num-
Der of people visiting the cemetery from
day to day. Something like zoo, 900 people
have visited Lake View during the past
year. Many of them have looked the mon
ument through and through. Not small
number have driven to Orange and looked
upon the birthplace of the 20th American
President. Others have visited Mentor and
looked about the farm on which the Presi-
dent spent so many hours Of contentment
Since Garield's remains were first placed In
the vault at Lake View it is estimated that
5000, 900 people have visited the cemetery.
The design for the monument was selected
from over fifty contributions from the best
artists of America and Europe. Mr.. Henry
Van Brunt, of Boston, and Mr.. Calvin
Vaux, of New York, were selected as ex-
perts to decide between the many creditable
designs. Although the entire fifty were ex-
amined in detail by each artist by himself
their report was the same. The contract
was let in October, 1885, and the monument
is now completed with the exception OF the
statue soon to be placed in position.
THE MONUMENT IN DETAIL.
It was first planned that the tower Of the
monument should be 225 feet In height
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-11-24

the other colleges at the game. They had
hard slugging elevens and they rushed the
balls through the lines of their weaker or
more gentle opponents without mercy.
Harvard had never PLAYED SO roughly, and
in consequence we're lett fsr behind by the
other two great football universities, 1t
was because of Harvard's attempt to forge
to the front again that the exceeding rou"h-
ness of the sport was forever done away
with. The Cambridge University trained a
team of giants to meet Yale and Princeton
at their own game. They were all sluggers,
and when in 1888 they went to New Haven
to play the Yale eleven they were under in
structions to vanquish their opponents II
they had to disable every man who came
against them. They were to ''slug" without
mercy.
Then it was that the Harvard faculty
woke to the impropriety of permitting their
students to deliberately go into free fight.
They demanded that player should be dis
qualified upon his first offense without any
warning. There was much grumbling over
this action of the faculty, and the game that
wear was played without warnings. The
immediate result was to almost entirely do
away with the Objectionable "slugging.
This was such q marked improvement that
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-11-24

as Young America is awakening to a fuller
knowledge of this most glorious of all field
sports.
As the great public becomes better ac-
quainted with the game and its rules it
naturally increases in popularity. Indeed,
there are some enthusiastic football lovers
who contend that the day is not far distant
when the game Will have an equal place in
the peoples affections with the national
pastime of baseball itself Perhaps this is
going a little too far, but certain it is that
good game of football viii attract every bit
as big 2 crowd even now as baseball match.
So far the patrons of the football matches
are mostly confined to college men and their
friends. One sees better class of persons
at the football games than at baseball
matches. But once let the great public
learn that good game of football is the
most exciting of all sports to the spectator
as well as to the player, and the patronage
will gladden. the hearts of the recipients of
the gate money.
A COLLEGE GAME.
With the exception of one eleven all the
great football teams are to be found in the
colleges. 1t is distinctively a college game
SO far. Even the teams outside of the col
leges are almost if not entirely made up of
the alumni of the great institutions of learn
ing. They learned to play the game at
collegei anu IneI nave Oeen at IL ever since.
The big athletic clubs all have football
elevens, but they cannot compare with the
college men. This is continually being
demonstrated in the matches between the
athletic club men and the others. The
scores nearly always show that the athletes
have tailed to make a single point in the
game.
This is nearly wholly due to the superior
opportunities for team practice enjoyed by
the eollegians. For months they practice
together, day after day, until they learn all
sorts of tricks and schemes which require
concerted action and which are tremendous
ly effective on the field. The same men
play year after year, and until a week or SO
ago the best players of the alumni were
pressed into service to strengthen the col
lege teams. This practice savored too much
of professionalism to suit the better class of
college men, and, on November 4 of this
year, the Intercollegiate Association, which
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-11-24

represents all of the principal football plav-
ing colleges, passed resolution that there
after no one should be eligible to play in
any championship games OF the association
who is not bona-fde student of the college
in whose team he plays.
Another rule, adopted by the Intercol-
leoiate Association at the meeting on No.
vember 4, is that no professional athlete
shall take part in any contest of the asso-
citation, nor snail any player of any uniyer-
sity or college accept money for his play
either from the football association, ath-
letie committee or college faculty.
The immediate effect of this was to rule
out one of the foremost football PLAYERS of
the countrv-Wagenhurs the great Prince
ton rusher. 1t also frustrated the plan of
the Yale eleven to press into service for the
championship season three of the finest
players who ever fought for a goal
Beecher, Bull and Terry, now of the Cres-
cent Club, of Brooklyn, which holds the
amateur championship outside of the COL
leges, As for Harvard, her athletes have
always discouraged the employment of out
side men in college sports, and the rule had
no effect upon the formation of her eleven
to contest for the intercollegiate champion
ship of 1889.
THE RUGBY GAME.
The Rugby game was introduced in
American colleges in 1876. Harvard was
the first Of the colleges to take it up. At
that time 10 men composed 9 team, and
brute strength and endurance were the sole
requisites OF the good player. Slugging was
not only allowed, but encouraged, and the
man who could do the most disabling of the
opposing team was looked upon as q fine
player.
In the early years Yale and Princeton led
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-11-24

changed since it was taken up by our col
leges that to-day it bears but little likeness
to the original rOugh-and-tumble sport OF
our cousins across the water. As played at
present by the Intercollegiate league of this
country. it is primarily game of science.
A man to be good football player must
nowadays be gifted with brains as well as
muscle and endurance. Mere brute strength
has had to give way to skill. A com blna-
ton of both, together with cool head and
much activity, makes the ideal player.
All of these qualifications are SO rarely
found in one individual that the list of the
really great football men is necessarily
very short one. They might almost be
counted on the fingers of one hand. But If
there are so few really perfect players, there
are many who are very nearly perfect, and
their ranks are being recruited year by year,

and the amount thereby increased from all
sources to about $50, 900.
When the dedication services take place

mains OF the late President will be carried
Just inside the door OF the monument. A
mammoth marble slab will be lifted and the

the great pile of marble and sandstone, had
been almost completed, when the sculptors
discovered a black streak that no chisel
could efface. Although realizing that the
labor of months was being sacrificed, the
almost finished statue was cast aside and a
new block of marble selected. This proved
to be faultless, and the statue has reached
New York, where it is receiving the finish
ing artistic touches. The statue represents
Garfield just risen from his chair in Con-
gress and about to address the House of
Representatives. It is of italian marble,
and is pronounced a marvellously correct
representation OF. the second martyred Pres
ident. 1t stands on a marble paved dias
and, with It's base, is about II feet in height.
The memorial temple or shrine surround
ing the statue occupies the entire space in
closed by the great walls of the tower.
Arranged in circular form about the statue
are eight great double columns of deep col
ored granite. These support dome % feet
in diameter that forms a beautiful canopy
so feet above the statue. A second ambu-
latory outside of these columns allows the
visitors to survey the interior from every
point of observation

in fact, has the signal system become that
whenever the captain of a team saws any,
thing on the field, such as: snow, Charlie,
play up!" or "Look out there, HarryP' YOU
may take it for granted that he is giving
some pre-arranged signal for an important
move to one of his PLAYERS, whom he appar-
emily is not at the moment thinking of at all.
1t is by the use of such tricks as these, and
by the well-planned maneuvers of the team
as whole, that the great matches are won.
Muscle and weight and activity and "sand''
are still highly important factors, but
science is becoming more and more necessary
for work every day The practice of ''inter-
fering, OF, in other words, defending the
man who holds the ball by keeping those of
the other side away from him, is fast devel-
oping into science in ITSELF
Whereas formerly if man made a great
run with the ball he was entitled to nearly
if not quite the whole credit, nowadays such
brilliant plays are only possible because
every man in the eleven is working together
to protect the runner and to disconcert the
enemy. The ignorant spectators applaud
the runner still and look upon him as a very
wonderful fellow indeed, but the finer Judges
have their eyes on the others who are
smoothing his way for him and keeping off
the opponents tacklers. That is where the
science and the trained team work always
tell.
1t is hard to say who is the greatest foot
ball player in this country, as there are so
many who have become famous ir the vari-
GUS positions for which their physical or
mental qualifications best adapt them, but
it will not be making invidious distinctions
to mention particularly Gill, of Yale;
Cowan, of Princeton, and Harding, of Har-
ward.
YALE's CAPTAIN.
Gill, who is captain of the Yale eleven,
is perhaps the most perfect all-round PLAYER,
He is power in the rush line, is a superb
and wonderfully sure tackler, and his in
terfering is dreaded by all who come in con-
tact with him. He comes nearer to being
an ideal player than any man in the coun-
try. He is a fine general and a strict dis
ciDlinarian-a very necessary thing Ior the
leader of football eleven. The captain of
team must be the sole master of the field,
and his commands must never be questioned
for an instant He must be a man of ready
resources, and a strategist of no mean order.
Above all, he must be a man of even temper
and always "keep his head" under the most
exciting circumstances. Such a man is
Gill, the Yale eleven's captain, and if the
blue waves in victory this year il will be in
great part owing to him and his systematic
training of his men.
Cowan, of Princeton, is also wonderful
player, and his place could not be easily
filled. He plays in the rush line, lisa
magnificent tackler, and is second to
no one in his interfering tactics When he
is taking part in the defense Of the man with
the ball it is pretty sure to be advanced con-
siderably toward the enemy's goal. He is
cool, has q big supply of "sand" and knows |
how to use his strength and activity to the |
best advantage. Charming, of the Prince
