and hostilitics are then momentarily sus-
pended and IA so called '~'scrimmnge" ensues.
The rushers ON each side range themselves
In opposing lines, man to man, and one OF
the side having the ball stoops down, holds
the ball close TO the ground and passes 1t be-
tween his legs to the quarter back, who stands
just behind him. That worthy attempts to
run with it or gives 1t to somebody else or
passes it to one OF the waiting half backs,
who kicks IL as far as he can. Then the old
rough and tumble scramble is renewed, and
the games goes on until one side or the other
scores n goal or time is called. When a goal
Is made the sides change goals, the ball Is
placed In the middle of the field and the
game Is begun over again.
This is a rough description of the Ameri-
can game of football, though there are a
thousand and one intricacies of the game
which can only DO understood by those IA
miliar with the game. Once these intricacies
arc understood, the spectator discovers a
thread Of purpose running through all the
seeming confusion OF the game, and, IL he is

In response to a signal by one or other of
the captains. The average spectator does
not know this, and certainly does not know
hat the captain OF a great football team,
like that of Yale or Princeton, tries to study
out each important game before going on
the field, conjuring up every possible move
and combination, and sometimes calling his
men together and with them playing out on
paper the coming struggle.

Marie Therese was the granddaughter of
Antoine de lie Motto Cadillac, a brilliant
French officer. who was at one time COM
mandant of Mackinaw and Detroit, and
governor of louisiana To him was
granted by the French king, in 1888, the
Island of Mount Desert and a large part
of the mainland on Union river. His
granddaughter claimed his estate in sue
c~ession, in 1886, and the general court Of
Massachusetts, granted to her and her
heirs 60, 900 acres. For a time the family
lived at Hulls Cove. In 1882 they began
to sell off the estate until, at the time of
their death in 1910, not acre remained.

Ell RIO REY.
Sketch and Picture of the Best Two-Year-
Old Running Horse of the Year.

With this Is given a portrait Of K Rio Rey,
the colt which The New York Spirit Of the
Times says is unquestionably the best two
year-old of the year. He has been considered
a phenomenon all the season, but he has been
accorded his unquestioned rank as cad by
reason Of his recent victory in the Eclipse
stakes at Westchester, when he did three
quarters Of a mile in Liza. StiIl more recent
ly, at Morris park, he did the same distance
in 1:1l, making a new record
FL Rio Rey Is thus described by The Spirit:
Is a bright chestnut, with a narrow blaze in
his face extending over the nose, the near
fore and both hind legs white. He has a
beautifully expressive face and a large full
eye Of intelligence, large nostrils, long taper
ing ears, a round muzzle, high cheeks, an ex-
quisite neck, full throttle. short from the
throat latch to the breast, which Is full but
narrow. well inclined shoulders, a grand back
and deep ribs closely coupled, and full TANKS.
His best and most striking point is his enor-
nous quarters, which are as massive as those
of n steer, and run away down full to the
gaskin; his arms are very big and broad, and
his legs are good, as are his feet.
bis worst point Is his ankles, which are not
the best. His action Is rather slovenly and
sluggish In his slow PAGES, but when extended
is very taking and his propelling power enor-
nous. In short, he is like his brother EN-
peror of Norfolk in style-enormous size,
bone and substance Joined to high quality.
Ell Rio Rey was foaled June 10, 1887, at the
FL Arroyo stud OF Mr.. Theo. Winters, in
California, and is a full brother to Duchess
of Norfolk, Duke Of Norfolk, King of Norfolk,
Vera, Emperor of Norfolk and The Car.
Duchess OF Norfolk was run In the east In
1882 and showed an ability to race with the
best. King OF Norfolk was a first class 3
year-old, but he trained Off early. AS to
Emperor of Norfolk, he was probably one of
the best race horses which appeared in this
country during the generation. The Gar
seemed likely TO follow in his footsteps, but
after winning the California Derby last
spring he died at Council Bluffs while on his
way east.
Norfolk, the sire of Ell Rio Rey, was a bay
colt, bred in Kentucky In 1881, by Lexington,

DIAGRAM OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL GROUND.
Stripped of its technicalities as far as pos
sble, the game is played something after this
fashion; The ground is laid out in the form
OF a parallelogram, as is shown in the above
diagram OF the field. The field measures $50
feet from end to end and 100 feet across be-
tween the outer side lines. There are various
lines which cross the field, which are known
as the five, ten, fifteen yard lines, etc, &C
cording to their distance from the nearest end
of the field. An understanding Of them,
however, is not necessary to a general knowl-
edge OF the game. At each end Of the field,
midway between the sides, is an arrangement
OF upright posts and cross bar, forming an
immense letter IL, twenty feet high and
eighteen and one-hnlf feet broad. These let
ter lis are the goals" The goals and the
outlined field provided, no further parapher-
needed for a game.
AT the beginning of the game the ball is
placed midway the goals, and the eleven men
IN each side take their stations. The seven
''rushers" on each side form in parallel lines
stands behind the center rusher, the two
"half backs" takes station ten or twelve yards
behind him, and the ''fun backn stations him
self in front OF the goal which he is TO defend.
The side which lost the toss for the choice OF
goals Kicks Oft the ball, and the scramble and
turmoil begins and continues for forty-ive
minutes. the time of interruptions being de

and the side which has then scored the mos.
points wins the game.
In the football contest of today, as evolved
from the old Rugby game, actual kicking
plays very small part The object of the
game, as of yore, Is to get the ball over-or
at least back of-the enemys goal, but there
are divers ways OF getting it there and scor-
ing points other than mere kicking. The
game Is scored by points, and there are four
different ways OF getting these points II
the ball is carried, kicked or passed across
the goal line by a player Of the opposing side,
and touched to the ground, his side scores
four points II, when 1t Is brought out into
the field, the representative kicker Of his
sid succeeds in kicking It over the goal,
two more points are secured. IL a goal Is
kicked from the field by a drop kick-mads
by dropping the ball and kicking 1t as it rises
five points are scored up for the side kick
ing tho goal, apd II one side, driven into
straits, Is forced to touch the ball to the
ground behind its own goal, 1t makes n 'safe-
ty touch down. and adds one point to the
score Of the other side. Tho rules of the In
tercollegiate association, like the Rugby
rules, allow the players to run with the ball.
In fact running with the ball is the prin-
cipal method of getting 1t toward the enemy's
goal now employed, and the game is becom-
ing less ana less OF a kicking game. 80, gem
orally, us soon as the ball is once put in play
IL is most Of tho time in the hands OF one or
other Of tho contending athletes. As soon as
a player gets the ball and starts to run with
1t the opposing players concentrate their en-
ergies on stopping him and getting possession
Of the ball The goal keeper and half backs
do not venture far away from their goal, but

men in rasping, hair raising tones, employed

some effect upon new pitchers, as Pitcher
Mark Baldwin said it broke him all up when
he first Joined the Association, but it can't
have much effect upon veteran pitchers, and
it is n very unpleasant. thing in the game.
An incessant amount of yelling cannot help
base runners much; in fact, it is calculated
to confuse them as far as coaching is con-
cerned, and at times every man on the bench
is yelling at the top OF his lungs"

winter wheats, which are SO much
longer on the ground, would make the

and this fact has attracted the atten-
ton OF German chemists, who have
shown from large number of analyses
that the highest percentage of gluten
is found in small-grained wheats which
are on the ground less than 100 days.
So that the more rapidly the wheat
plant is matured the larger the pro-
portion of gluten, while the longer it
is on the ground the more starch the
wheats contain. | saw some
