4 FOOTBALL rs.
TIE BOXING FACE.
A Careful Comparison of the Two
Shows That the Latter's Lines Are
Stronger Than The Formers.
By Prof. Attili

It is almost a sin to speak of foot
ball and boxing in the same breath In
the former there is nothing, While in
the latter there is everything which
goes TO improve a mans physical
makeup.
But first I will show that there are
no physical advantages in football
playing.
It is a game that is a sort of con-
tagious ailment among coilegians. The
first thing a young fellow thinks of
when he goes to college is to wear
long hair and get on the football team.
He does a lot of work at first, ound-
ing himself into shape that will enable
him to last but a half hour or so.
That is, of course, if he does not get
q broken neck or limb before h end
of that time.
FLIRTS WITH DANGER.
He firts with danger, and many
times winds UP as a cripple at an age
when he ought to be at his best. But
the necessity of being a hero is strong
upon him, and that is about why he
does it. When the game is over, he is
no better off physically than he was
| before it: maybe worse.
Watch the face Of a football player
emerging from a sorinnmage. Do its
lines show it to be more healthy and
! less brutal than that of the boxer?
1t is a game where a mar cannot
show his Individual ability. He is
just a piece of machinery and works as
! such trying to injure some other piece
! of machinery which is considered good
on the other side.
A small nan will get out Of the
fracas safe, While a bigger fellow will
emerge all tattered and torn both in
dress and body. It's a game prac-
) tisp1 fortunately only in his country
and England.
But as to boxing!
Well. no nobler sport ever existed.
1t was practiced thousands and tnOu-
sands OF years ago. Men have grown
to be heroes through it. It was not
! always known as boxing, but it was
! the same thing. It is a sport in which
a mans individual ability is shown. 1t
is manly. To be a good boxer is to
. attain glory. Its good effects are last
ing, too. Those Of football are not. To
be beaten at boxing is no disgrace.
In practice, boxing has a tendency
to strengthen a man, or even a woman,
in every part of the body. 1t 1imbers
up the muscles, gives one a clear, quick
~ and makes him as agile as a pan
J theF. There is not a Fart Of ones
, makeup it will not strengthen. Ex-
! cepr in excess it has no disadvantages.
Everything is in it's favor and it bears
no comparison with football.
When I say boxing I don't neces-
sarily mean prize-Gghting. There is
not so much glory where money is an
incentive, for when the money ques-
ton enters into q game glory ceases
to exist. There is just as much diff
ference between boxing to win and
fighting for money as there is between
| the former and football,

GOOD QUALITIES.
Bv Max O'RelL

I believe that what sexes admire
most each in the other are the quail
ties which they do not generally pos
sess themselves. For instance, a mar
will always tell you that the qualities
he admires most in a woman are con-
stancy, good equal temper, and such
others as his most hattering friends
would never accuse him of possessing.
If, on the other hand, you read the
confession books of women you will
invariably discover that the qualities
they most admire in men are generos-
ity, broadmindedness, magnanimity,
absence Of prejudice and a lofty sense
of justice, of liberation and of forgive
ness. Now, some women may possess
these qualities, but no one. T think,
will say that they are eminently FEM
mime virtues.
And it may also be added thai what
sexes hate most, each in the other, are
the very defects which they themselves
not infrequently possess. Out Of twen-
ty confession books which I have this
moment under my eyes, and in which
Is to be found the question, what de-
feet do you hate most in man?" eigh-
teen women have answered, "Mean-
ness" That is just what you would
expect; now, don't you think SO?
OF course, there are women of whom
it might be said, however, ~preposter-
GUS the remark may sound, that they
are not only perfect ladies, but also
perfect gentlemen. These are glorious
women. Now, don't smile; I now
what I am saying. When you say of
q woman hat she is a perfect lady
the remark chiefly refers to her man
ners, the way she dresses and behaves
in society, etc. When you say Of a
mar that he is a perfect gentleman it
means that he is a man OF considerate
feelings, generous, magnanimous even,
a man who could not do anything
mean if he tried.
