The two important football games OF
saturday illustrated distinct systems OF
| play and incidentally they seem to throw
considerable Ii sht on the mooted question
OF the brutality" OF the game and also In

From the point OF view of the spectator
who pays money TO be entertained 10y
gaSne of football. the contest between the
Brown and Carlisle teams was by all at
counts the most interesting. Probably
less than two thousand persons witnessed
the game in New York, whereas contest
between representatives OF this larger coll
leges would have packed the grounds
regardless OF the kind of a show that was
put up. But IL is pretty safe 10 assume
that in the future Of football, IL IL is to bo
as permanent an institution as baseball.
for instance. the kind Of game played
in New York will be demanded rather
than the kind witnessed in Cambridge.
The Brown team played its open forma-
tion game, which has served it so well all
this season and which demonstrated its
attractions for the spectators 10y the fact
of a reasonable amount Of scoring. This
style offers plainly more playing of the
does the mass formation which is played
by Yale, Harvard and Princeton, and
which, significantly, resulted in no scores
ut the Cambridge game. AS "a matter OF
fact. the Brown Carlisle game was As
creditable an exhibition of football rs the
Yale Harvard contest and vastly more in

the Cam bridge game suggests that the

seems TO be this season, may ma ke of foot

ed to pitchers battle" And il is re-
called that the rules of baseball had to be
changed to give tue public more hits and
runs to look at.
Moreover, authorities on the game re-
plying to the rather noisy exceptions
taken to the continuance OF the "bruta"
sport assert that the game would be
robbed Of many of its features of brutal
ity" if the mass formation, which was in
troduced by Princeton. should he abol.
ished and the older and more natural
played. If this is 50. and it appears to TO
Ia well-grounded opinion, It offers another
| point in favor of the Brown style. Public
interest in the game and public approval
| of it thus both appeal from the style that
makes for n minimum of show to the
spectator and maximum of bruises for
the player
| That the Brown open formation style is
| quite as good football as tine mass forma-
| tion is clearly indicated by the success
| which Brown has had in playing It's game
against the other method. and it is far
from unlikely that football reform will
result in return to the older style.

Gus sawmlls in that part Of the state
which are kept busy all the year round
saving logs into strips four feet long, and
from one TO two inches square. These
rods are sent to the spool factories, where
they are worked into spools by ingenious
machinery. The sticks are fod into ma
