Tbs Feet Bail Game.

The interest, amounting TO craze, which
Is annually excited by the Harvard and
Yale foot bail game was witnessed in lis
fulle.t intensity Saturday when representa-.
ti~es of almost every civilized country as
ssmhled to see the slsdis'ors of the two
sres, colleges struggle for the honors Of
the gridiron field. There is one
young lady in Augusta, who while
having no male friends in either col
lese to excite her especial interest deliber'
a.eiy chose between trip to the Worlds
Fair aud the privilege of Witnessing the
Harvard-Yale foot ball game in favor Of
the laster.
In hos great degree this interest is due
to the love people of all nations and ell
ages have bad for athletic sports. and to
what degree it may be attributed to an al
most morbid desire to witness scenes where
limb and possibly life is At stake Is
not within the compass Of this article
to de,erm ne we're it possible. There is
enough Of the latter source Of interest to
render il necessary that the game Of foo,
ball should be held under the closest super
vision Of everyone DESTROYS Of drawing m
iusasmoussabls tarrier between true srort
and brutality.
Many years ago foot hall was legislated
