where even the physical strength Is often
sorely taxed, the speaker Is called upon to
hand down decisions which make or mar his

when the speaker rises to announce a ruling

Once ruled uron by him, Il question was
forever settled. With unanimous consent all
persons conceded the correctness and justice
Of his conclusions. It is Il remarkable fact
that 10 decision Of Carlisle rs speaker was
ever appealed from III the house.
Last winter there was a notable struggle

Of an important measure. 1t quickly became

known in football parlance as scrub games, ="
are enacted in almost every city, town and
hamlet in the eastern part Of the country,
out scientific football is exclusively q college
institution.
Of all the out Of door sports employed by
American students as a means Of keeping the
muscular end CT their education abreast OF
the intellectual end, football is the popular
favorita. As many as 5000 people have
turned out at the Polo grounds at New York
IN the sharpest kind Of fall weather TO see
one Of the big football games. The crowds
ut these games are getting bigger every year
and there can be 60 question about the i'm
mediate future Of the game. Football has
come to stay.
The game IS no parvenu in the field Of
sports More than 1900 years ago the Greeks
and Romans played a crude game Of football,
and when the Romans went over to England
they introduced the game to the BriLons. 1t
gradually worked its way into public favor
until it became the national winter game, as
cricket subsequently became the English sum
mer sport. Shroye Tuesday rbe Tuesday be-
