Description of Seuere Training Which the Rae Material Is
PEELED By the Coaches to Undergo.

i'm condition and i'm the spring there is outdoor
practice This is light. however and amounts
to nothing more than falling on the ball, KICK
ing and catching punts. When each candidate
for the next years team leaves college in June
he receives a football and a lot of instructions
that last him through the summer. Apd every
day through the summer the candidates are
supposed 20 think football. They practise
kicks and catches, snap backs and the way
to hold the ball; and get all the heavy exercise
they can, and eat hearty food. and go TO bed
early in the evening. The man who looks out
for the summer season carefully is in good
shape to get start his competitors when
the fall season opens And along about Sep
TENDER 1 the captain sends his cards to the
candidates and they come back to college to
report. Not all of the new men are known per
sonaly to the football captains or managers.
a year ago Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew re
ceived a card from Harvard manager that
read: You will please get back to Cambridge
September TO- keep down your weight and don't
forget to get to bed early" Senator Depew was
very much amazed until he showed the card
to a young man who knew what it meant. His
answer is said to have been: Not on your life
Will 1 wear a crimson suit against the Yale
eleven. | am on the Yale Corporation"
The moment the first squad of men report at
the field for the fall work trouble begins. The
hot weather Of mid-September isn't conducive
to violent tumbling in the in heavy clothes,
but they have to do it. They get long runs and
have to spend two hours every day at the
gridirOn receiving instructions in rudimentary
elements of the game This lasts until college
opens the last of September, and then begins
the real grind of the season. which does not end
until the team gives it's final husky cheer at the
close of the final championship game
For the veteran varsity men who have al
ready proved themselves and who are certain
Of their places the football season is not so
hard. They play in the scrimmages and go
through the ordinary daily grind of the other
men, but if anything happens to them they are
laid off for repairs. The second string of men
those who are good enough for varsity posi-
tiOns and who may turn into regular men in an
emergency-receives little less babying and
work somewhat harder. Then there is a lot Of
men, some thirty or forty, who will probably
have no chance to ge- ~ who get no baby
ing at all and have to work hard And lastly
there is miscellaneous assortment Of men who
report each day for practice. and who get into
the play if they can, and that nobody ever
hears of afterward- This last list is cut out

New Haven, Conn, Oct. PA young man in
light overcOat blows a whistle, sudden still
ness falls on the great amphitheatre of seats
that towers up from the gridron, two elevens
crouch for the play, the centre snaps the ball.
a runner from the backfeld is ramming his head
into a solid line of men, great cheer rips out
from ten thousand threats, yellow and black
and blue flags fill the air. and the game that
means sorrow or happiness for one another
of the two universities whose supporters pack
the stand is on.
That's the way it looks to every one of the
yelling, excited, trembling spectators on the
grandstands. They have been waiting for this
moment ever since the daily papers announced
the opening OF the seasons practice at their
favorite institutions They sit packed the
tiers of seats in ulsters, blankets, furs; most
of the mer have yellow chrysanthemums in
their buttonholes, blue ribbons ala of the
girls have yellow and black streamers, flags and
banners or emblems Of the blue.
They are a motley crowd, perhaps the finest
that anything can bring together under the
open sky in the Northern Hemisphere. Under

of college a year, and graduates who have not

ators Of the United States, sometimes Presi-
dent. Sharpers, too and little men with shfty
eyes and thin bottles in their pockets, out for
the cash end of the transaction. Girls dark
and blond animated and very animated, in all
the cOlors of a subdued rainbow-mOst of them

ready to throw out their flags and jump to their
feet and get into the rolling thunder of cheers
when their side gains a foot.
That's the way it is up in the grandstands.
But it isn't that way down below-down among
the players. Nor among the nervous rows of
substitutes along the wooden wall of the field
or among the coaches the side lines. Down
on the torn grass of the gridiron it is a serious
business. 1t is the climax of three months of
the hardest sort of daily toll punctuated by
bruises and calldowns from the coaches, and
hourly fears that their university will never
forgive them if they lose the game
This severe discipline begins about year be-

parts of the auditorium. If he Is taxing only
q group from close point of view, perhaps one
charge of the flashlight powder will be suIh-
Gent But even charge makes a treineh-
dous fash, Illuminating the entire theatre audi
forum, and disconcerting players who are not
used to having flashlights taken. 1t is as bad
for the inexperienced actor as a soldiers first
experience under fire. The actor always over
rates the explosion, and it frequently makes
feminine players who are new to the stage very
nervous and timid
But before the flash has fully died away the
photographer cries out again to the players:
Nov give the tableau at the end of the
act-quick, before the smoke comes down."
And there is need for haste. since the smoke
from the explosion is already rolling down in
volumes upon the stage. At first it ascends
to the roof a great gray mass of smoke, Tut
finding no outlet there it gradually fills the
auditorium. Unless haste is made it may mar
subsequent pictures
But already the players have taken their posi-
tions for the final tableau, and the photographer
is ready to explode another charge of powder
He may alter the pose of one of the actresses,
tell the comedian to take a more cheerful
expression direct the villain to frown. Then
he utters the warning signal. every one gets
ready for the flash and a second binding glare
ellis the theatre.
Unless the smoke gets very bad, four five
flashlights be taken. If the smoke inter
feres, it may be necessary to open all the doors
and windows and wait fifteen minutes until the
atmosphere clears This delays the players and
annoys them excessively, since they always in
sist that taking flashlights is a hardship and
q nuisance. But after a while more flashlights
Of the first act can be taken, and then the
players get ready for the next act.
Half a dozen flashlights of each act is about
production. Each act is treated in the same
way after the players have gone through ii be
fore the photographer. The cost Of twenty or
twenty-five scene pictures ranges from 500 to
500 according to the number Of prints ordered
One photographer who made considerable
fortune by establishing a reputation for spen-
did flashlights refused TO accept an order
less ten photos were guaranteed, at the rate of
s. 80 apiece. In other words he placed a mini
mum value of SO upon his services for

much 5000 just for pictures, taking
many views and utilizing them in the advertis-
ing frames which may in theatre Hobbies

II is a dangerous thing to take these fash
