that II I had used It you wouldn't have

right from the start We went at each
other and fought like q wildcat in q
tin oven-as some Boston author said.
The local authorities had been warned,
and made provisions for It By keep
ing their policemen away from the
grounds so they wouldn't get hurt, and
sending all the doctors, surgeons,
nurses, ambulanees and other allevi-
ating and repairing apparatus to the
field early. The combat was something

had been established under the grand
stand, where rsstoratives were admin

the more seriously injured to the city
hospitals.
"As the game progressed It's fury In

to a safe distance and conveyed their
instructions through giant mega
phones. The spectators stood In the
grandstand and fairly howled. though
little OF the Strife wal visible to them
owing to the fog Of torn clothes and
uprooted soil which hung over the
scene, not to mention players, or parts
Of players. which ever and anon were
thrown up from the seething mael-
strom below. Once a flying Tamerlane
player, hurled through the air by two
Attilas, struck a Red Cross nurse and
bore him down, but he was dragged
from the field by a brother worker.
Again, an Attila player was tossed to
the top of the grandstand, where he
dung to the ridge pole and yelled for
his side, while a substitute rushed to
take his place. The combat deepens!
Now It Is impossible To-"
"See here, parson," broke in the ma
jor, rather firmly, you're getting too
excited. Calm down-youn be tack

dow the next thing you know. Besides
you are telling us of nothing but a
simple, ordinary game Of football, az
ter all. Where's the extraordinarily
unique uniqueness you boosted about Z"
"You may interrupt me IL you
choose, but you shan't stop me-" said
the parson, with a trace of indignation.
See, the combat deepensl It-weIl,
no matter. It was a wonderful game.
And here Is what made It unique so far
as known. All the way through we
players felt that something was lack
ing-that something, somewhere, was
wrong. Afterwards we learned that
the spectators had the same feeling.
But no one on the grIdiron or IN the
grandstand could say what It was. At
last the game ended. All had been r.
moved except the two captains. I was
n Of them. We lay stretched on the
plain near the middle Of the field, OF
course, unable to rise. We heard the
ambulance coming to bear US away.
the captain Of the Attilas raised his
head with difficulty and whispered
hoarsely: :
Hello, old man, great game. wasn't
iii?
Wonderful l replied. 'stilI, there

too, but ! can't make out what it was.'
" Neither can T. was my answer.
But there was something wrong Just

"And It was 3 fact and this is what
rendered the game 50 remarkable.

"Parson." interrupted the Judge sol

Certainly"
Never mind about what you said
