FRIEND OF FOOTBALL.
Good Features of the Sport Praised
By u. r.

Deputy Postmaster j. K. Shideler who,
from parents standpoint, has good rea-
son to give some attention to the game of
football, said last night, in discussing the
sport:
II am not a football enthusiast and do
not know the fine points of the game, and
as L have four boys that play, it will be
conceded, think, that l should know some
thing of the nuisance of it. But the sober
truth is that much of the criticism of the
game is unwarranted. Boys must do some
thing to work off the surplus energy of
youth. and everything has its dangers and
Objectionable features. Boating, fishing
and swimming are married by the danger Of
drowning: driving, by the risk of a run
away; and, judging from the reports in
the papers, a day afield with dog and gun
is about as dangerous as line of battle.
These gridiron contests are modern
expression OF the valor that sustained the
gladiator in the ancient contests of the
arena, and the physical contests of the log
rollings of generation ago were the same
thing.
much can be said in favor of the atten-
ton to health. habits and physical train
ing which athletics induce, and the team
work and animation of contest in the
name of a school and it's cheering crowds
and waving colors is certainly a good anti
dote for selfshness.
THE stale joke about the schools devot-
ing all their talents to athletics is untrue.
Most schools insist upon a certain fixed
standard of scholarship as a prerequisite
to taking part in the field games. There
is sharp rivalry for the honor of represent
ing the school on field days and the sue
cessful ones are not from the foot of the
class.
Football, as DR.. Holmes said about box
ing, lis rough play, but not too rough for
a hearty young fellow. Anything is better
than this white-blooded degeneration to
which we all tend
"Tennyson expresses the same idea i'm
Maud, where he declares that war is less
to be dreaded than the physical degenera-
ton of commerciaism.
lone thing cannot be too strongly op-
posed. High school boys have no business
making wagers on the result, and that will
do more to destroy the claim that football
is gentleman's game than the charge of
brutality"

BEST TEAM WON.
That Opinion Expressed by officials
and Captains i'm Interviews.

The officials and captains Of the two
teams stated that the best team won. 1t
was a satisfactory contest to the spectators
and Shortridge demonstrated her superb
GRITTY over Manual Training High School.
The following expressions were gathered
after the contest:
Referee Esterine-"It was a good game
and considering the condition of the field
the play of both teams was remarkable
Shortridge won by reason of her superior
ground-gaining ability. the work of Captain
Scott and Half Back Clark being especially
strong.

contest. Captain SCOTS recovery of the

punted 1t was an exceptional play and

had the field been dry, but l believe the
result OF the game would have been the
same.
1T was a difficult game to referee on ac-
count of the absence of the fiye-yard lines
and the crowd on the field. 1t was certain
ly demonstrated that a football game
should be played none other than an
enclosed field of play"
Umpire Robertson.-"There was plenty of
good football i'm that game and the best
team won. While the playing was des-
perate, there was little or no Intentional
rough playing. 1t was necessary To pen
alize both sides frequently for holding and
off-side play, but both teams suffered
about equally in this regard. I do not
think the final result of the game would
have been different on a dry field.
THE men all played with good spirit
and the score shows the strength of the
two teams"
Coach Winters, of Manual TRAINING. High
School.-'The best team won. Both teams
would have played better and more sat

a Rocking stone.

The rocking stone which stands on the
fat surface of an outcropping of rock
on little eminence in Bronx park does
not attract so much attention as the ami
mails there do. by any means, but there
are, nevertheless. always interested peo-
pie walking around it and trying to see II
they can move it.
This great fragment of rock, which
weighs perhaps eight or ten tons or more,
has in its general outlines a form in some
rough semblance to an egg. Ii lies on its
side, and so nicely balanced is 1t that one
man of fair strength can readily move it.
and almost any two persons can start it
into the rocking movement Of which,
through small radius. it is susceptible.
A woman comes up and lays her gloved
hands upon it and presses gently; it
doesn't bulge.
"Why, it doesn't move" she says.
But two or three women together can
set the great stone rocking easily.
And no matter who it may be that sets
che rocking stone in motion. he is pretty
sure to find in setting it rocking sort of
fascination.-Ne York Sun.

he Knew what They would Do.

Sir Charles Locock, who was the ph.s-
stefan attending Queen Victoria at GER
tain period of her reign, was once COM
manded by her majesty to proceed to Ber-
lin and report on the condition Of her
daughter, the crown princess. On the re-
turn trip stopping at Dover for hasty
luncheon, he was enabled to snatch a
glass of poor sherry and piece Of ques-
tionable pork pie.
After the train had pulled out and Sir
Charles had been locked in his compart-
ment he began to feel drowsy and to fear
that faintness was overtaking him. I'M
mediately he thought to himself:
''They will find me in a faint ON the
hoor and bleed me for fit, and need all
my blood to digest this pork pie"
Thereupon he hurriedly drew out his
pencil, wrote on a piece of paper and
stuck it in the band of his hat. Then he
resigned himself to the deep sleep that
came upon him. He did not wake until
the train had pulled into the London sta
ton. and, still dazed by his sIumber, he
jumped into a carriage and was driven
home.
The grins of the servants and the ex-
cIamation of his wife were followed by
the inquiry from one of the children, "Oh.
papa, what have you got in your hat?'
Then he remembered his experience on
the train. Taking off his hat, he removed
the large white paper on which he had
scrubbed this petition to the general pub
lie:

gestion from eating some confounded

Confessor, who granted a charter In
which 1t is styled Lambehith. Some
illiterate scribe, who helped In the max
