able TO discover no other team on rec

there may have been elevens whose

average weight Of the Yale rush line Is
over 1872 pounds. The average weight
OF the three backs. exclusive OF the

quarter the average Of the back field is
1S4 pounds.
The average weight Of the Yale team
as a whole Is 1sS pounds. The total
weight Of the players composing the
team Is 1000 pounds The heaviest
man on the eleven is Dick Sheldon,
whose weight is 22O pounds. The light
weight is Quarter Back jim Wear

members OF the eleven weigh less than

it is always well to avoid fantastic
shapes in glassware. In the goblets
and various wineglasses there is very
little danger Of going far astray, as
the shapes of the different patterns are
all made to conform more or less to a
conventional plan. But in punch cups
and HGueur glasses, where such Is
more scope for individual taste, It Is
well TO remember that first Of all they
are for use and then for ornament In
deed the liqueur glasses may be as odd
and fantastic as the hostess desires
but care must be taken not to provide
the tiny ones from which it is so in

The Southern Association Of Baseball
Clubs, recently organized at Blrming-

cess. The club circuit will include not
less than six cities, as that number OF
franchises has been secured already. A
number Of applications for franchises
I'm other cities remain unanswered as

ably certain the association will proDa'
bly, begin the next season with an eight
club circuit. The salary limit was
placed at 81, 900 a month, and the FOR
felt was also fixed at that sum. The
organization will have the protection
Of the National league under Class B.
and It will create a sinking fund which
will require 10 per cent Of the gate re-
ceipts of all league games. The iran
chises that have been secured include
Nashville, Memphis, Shreveport New

piled for but not yet heard from are
