practicing on the grldiron for many weeks
and where the glorious climate is con
duoive TO extravagsnt growth on the part
of nearly everything, the various football
teams are said TO closely resemble punches
Of chrysanthemums after gale.
The most important football organiza-
ton on this side of the Atlantic ocean
is the intercollegiate association, composed
Of Yale, Princeton, University of Pennsyl-
vaifia and Wesleyan, but although it claims
TO decide the college championship OF Amer
lea il can hardly be said TO do SO, for the
reason that Harvard, Cornell and other
strong colleges are not represented in the
annual games.
To remedy this incongruity there is talk
OF the formation of a six club intercollegiate
football league, including Yale, Harvard,
Princeton, University of Pennsylvania,

AMONG THE SPORTS
Polo League Made Little
Progress Yesterday.
VETS OFF FOR ATTlEBORO.
Why Football Players Wear Long
Hair and No Whiskers.

The annual meeting of the New Eng
land League of polo clubs was held at the
Falmouth House, Boston, yesterday and
very little business was transacted. The
Waltham team will go to Boston and the
Providence team will play in Music Hall
until January LIST when the games will be
played at Infantry Hall. Manager
Keough had the same old hitch In pro-
ceeding to report from Pawtucket. Wor-
cester will have a strong team.
The Brocktons will be transferred.
Fall River and Taunton want to get In
the league and New Bedford will have a
team.
A rule will doubtless be adopted at the
meeting today that will do away with an
undesirable feature of the, contests last
year. When the ball was hit into the
crowd II was very often held there until
member of the local team could adjust
his skate. This year the referees will be
provided with two balls, so that one bail
will be always In readiness and all delay
obviated. II has been suggested that the
game would be more interesting by hav-
ing three innings OF Is minutes each, and
this matter will also be discussed.
on for AttIeboro.
The Hay Cart "boys" met at the engine
house at $50 o'clock this morning ready
for the fray and confident of bringing
home prize from the village OF jewelry.
Led bya drum corps they marched up
Main street to the foot of High street
where three special electric cars were
ready on the Interstate line to convey
them to Attleboro. The company turned
out In full and presented very inspiring
appearance. George J. Fairbrother
started early In the day with the Hay
Cart for the Fair grounds and arrived
there safely. The vets mean to win, but
will have to hustle for first lonor with
such machines as the Volunteer, Gaspee,
Red Jacket and Butcher Boy pitted
against them, but they will come out
ahead II it's in the engine and they believe
II Is.

Cornell and Wesleyan. This, IL is claimed,
would make all things equal. Cornell, by
the work Of her eleven during the past
two years, is deserving Of recognition from
the big universities. The promoters of the
new league claim that the men from Ithaca
should be entitled to play in IA champion
ship series with Harvard, Yale and Prince
ton, and that the games would rapidly be-
come Of as much importance as the regular
intercollegiate contests at Springfield,
Mass, and New York.
This scheme will hardly succeed, how
ever, owing to .he boyish jealousies that
mar the great sport in America.

A FOOTBALL PLAYERS GROWING GLORY.
sible In these days than good football
player with closely cropped caput. Gus
tom has decreed that this must be so, and
1t is
Custom has also decreed that, although
hair on the head Is eminently proper, all
hair on the face must go. Thus it Is that
one Of the laws Of football as Interchangeable
4 as the laws of the Medes and Persians. is to
the effect that mo whiskers need apply"
And they never do. IL freshman who Is
ambitious to get on his class eleven or the
varsity team has blocked out brace of
barely discernible burnsides, he gives them
last, fond, despairing look in the mirror,
flercely strops his razor to subdue his pain,
and an instant later the block system is no
more. A struggling II unworthy mus.
tache meets no kinder fate. The young
football warrior may be full of strange
oaths as he seeks the bubble reputation,
but he is never, no, never, bearded like a
pard.
There is method, however, In all this ap-
parent Madness but some phases of It will
persist in remaining inexplicable to the lay
mind. The IL Sutherland brothers refuse
to grow whiskers for fear some member of
the opposing Sutherland aggregation may
seize them, pull them out or otherwise NAL
treat them in a scrimmage. The same fear
would naturally seem to argue against long
hair, which would be more luxuriant than
budding whiskers and an easy prey for an
enemy's grip, but IL does not. The foot
ball star Is unmindful Of little hair pull
ing during touchdown. but he draws the
line at whiskers.
Extended and presumably bitter expert
ence has proved to the sages who rule the
destinies of football, however, that long
hair is decided protection In time of need.
1t prevents player from taking cold dur
ing November games; II is as good as big
fur cap with old fashioned ear tabs, and
best OF all IL forms protective mat on top
OF the head that nothing less powerful than
apiledriver will make a dent in. A good
thick head of hair Is consequently as effect
i've in keeping together football players
brains as the steel helmet Of Richard the
Lion Hearteds day. In this fact Is to be
found the true secret OF the long hair craze
in football and many n young collegian
after the ball has escaped a broken head,
owing to the protection afforded by his

Meanings Of the word "stoye., {,

The word stove, as applied to heater
for ROOM seems to be Of about the same
age as the article to which the name is
now applied, as while the word as d name
had an existence in early English, it was
used in different sense.
Both Lord Bacon and Woodward used it
as referring 70 house or room artifcially
warmed, and particularly hothouse for
plants Bacon also used the word as a
verb in the way Of keeping warm in house
or room, as to stove orange trees and myr-
tles,n to quote from his writings Pepys
used the verb In nautical sense, as heat
ing for the purpose Of making piiable, az
"stove bolt ropesn
But all these definitions are obsolete
now, such disuse dating from the time
when Dr. franklin made bis discoveries
and applications. The French word etnye,
it may be added, describes hothouse or
bathing room, and hence is parallel in
meaning with the early English word =
