Wa have before US the eompletest
hook on football that has yet come
under our notice. The editor. Mr.. Churcn,
has united series OF short papers
written By old players, whose names are
wen known in the football world anu
each OF whom has written directly touch-
Ing his own position on the team. So

position explained By men who not only
have made II study, but VINO nav
left upon the gridiron arena hanoIuls
OF hair and many yards OF skin IN ae-
fence of their colleges and OF their theo-

Here. too. Is explained the mysteries
OF the wedge-that human batterlhs

the ball strike terror into the hearts
OF their opponents and usually gam

OF their loud-voiced rootets on the
bleaching bonrds Perhaps every one
does not know that the amazing MAINE
NAUTICAL genius who invented the nylhB
wedge for Harvard had never been

The whole book Is well illustrated WIZ
cuts OF the various essayists, and there
are also diagrams Illustrating the an
