NEARLY every arm in New Jersey where rab-
bit or bird track is found is covered with tres
pass sign. Farmers have been very busy, and the
country looks as if everything was for sale or to

against the law even during the pen season for
game; and the violation subjects one to arrest and
fine. and In some counties the connscation of
shooting irons November is the first day Of

THERE has been d great deal OF talk in the past
OF arranging international football matches with
England. 1t has always been impracticable be-
cause of the difference in the two games and the
fact that the best American teams are in college
and could not visit England during the football
season. There has recently been some discussion
relative to PLAYING Canadian teams. Their game
is something of compromise between the En-
glish and American game. and an understanding
could easily be arrived at. Formerly the Harvard
team visited Montreal on several occasions and
played against the Montreal Football Club. 1t
would certainly be interesting If the Montreals
Britannias, the two crack teams of Canada,
should visit this country.
