The custom of decorating the
churches With grecnery at
Christmas had its origin iD a
pagan ceremony. The great
feast of Saturn was held III
December, when the worshipers
bung the temple With such
green things as they could find;
and the Christians adopted the
same method to celebrate the
birth of the Savior, giving it an
ernblematic turn by referring to
the righteous branch" and
justifying it from Isaiah So: 13
glory of Lebanon shall
come unto thee, the fir tree, the
pine tree and the box together
to beautify the place of my
sanctuary"
The holly, or holy tree, is
called Chrjst's thorn in Ger
many and Scandinavia, from its
use in church decorations and
its putting forth it's berries at
Christmas time.

GOSSIP OF THE GRIDIRoN.

Mr.. Keene. OF the Georgetown College
team is far the most popular player at
that institution. His work for Georgetown
on Saturday is deserving of the highest
praise. and was a big feature of the
game Kenna is from Mt. st. Mary's Col
lege. and while there was considered their
crack football player.
The pet of last years Winchester Acad-
envy team was Mr.. Richard Tally. of this
city This year Mr.. Tally will give some
valuable aid to the Columbia Athletic
Club team.
Cotton Clark, the crack fullback of this
city, is at present engaged at the navy
yard in Philadelphia.
Sam Boyle. of the District, has been
doing some effective coaching at the Vir-
ginia Military Institute, as was shown by
the result of the game with Columbian
on Saturday.
For the first time in five years the name
of Taussig does not appear on the lineup
of Cornell, and Washington is without a
representative on the '9S team.
A number of old timers have said that
the Washington public have lost all in
terest in football. Had some of those
persons been present at the game on
Saturday at Georgetown. they would
have thought that they were living the old
days of 80 over again.
Ned Seton has returned to the gridiron
in the capacity of referees.
The good showing made by Gallaudet
in the game against the University of
Virginia on Saturday was a surprise TO
every one. The game on Wednesday with
Georgetown promises to be a good one.
The Y. NJ. C. A. of this city has organ
lied team and will practice at the
Columbia Field.
To judge a kick from field is q
very difficult task unless one is standing
directly in line with the ball, or right
under the goal posts. The kick from the
field made by Farquhar. in the George
town game on Saturday, is strongly
doubted. But a large number of George
towns adherents, who were standing be-
hind the goal at the time of the kick
agree with Mr.. Clothier in his decision
that it was fair kick. scoring five points
for Swarthmore
