THANKSGIVING AND SPORT.

Football seems 20 have been one of
the chief features OF Thanksgiving In
nearly all parts u the country. The
logical connection between the two II
beyond tho comprehension Of the ordi-
nary mind. The association OF ideas
seems wholly incongruOus.
The day IL by solemn proclamation
set apart for meditation upon the boun-
tifui merolcs Of Providence. and FOR
social enjoyment In harmony with such
meditation, Religious exercises and
gatherings In family circles wore the
old-fashloncd way OF keeping that day.
These were appropriate and expressive
OF the spirit In which this American
holiday was Instituted. Sport is the OPP
poslto Of this spirit. II Is about to In
wade not only special holldnya but sun

TO change the namea OF these duys To

to set apart a day for football?
