Football Lyrics.
THE CENTRE RUSH.

The centre is a powerful man,
Whose anger it is fun to fan:
AT least. opponents think it so.
AS DER the ball he bendeth low,
They say things quite unlike prayer,
And pull out handfuls of his hair.
They know he cannot well resent 1t,
Though he replies as If he meant it.
THE GU ARD.
This object has the gf,ard. it Seems.
To send into the land!Of dreams
The fellow who opposes him.
He acts with eagernesS and vim
And lands full many a vicious punch
Where rests his rivals frugal lunch.
THE END RUSH.
He stands alone upon the wing.
And crouches like cat to spring
Upon the man who tries to go
Around his end He tackles low
And rubs the runner in the dirt,
Depriving him of half his shirt.
Look out! Don't tumble when you fall,
Or he will drop upon the ball.
THE QUARTERBACK.
Although diminutive in size.
In him the combination lies
That guides his team in its attack
And drives the other side way back.
He stands behind the husky line
And shouts a cahalistic sign.
His team is pretty sure to score
When he yells Six eleven-four"
THE COACH.
The freshman thinks he is a god,
And even seniors oft are awed
When he throws out his giant chest
And tells the players what is best;
'Tis he invents the box of tricks
That puts opponents in fix.
Ard when the whistle calls to play
He RACES like a wolf at bay.
Well players know that nothing worse is
Than being targets for his curses.

Portuguese CHARACTERISTICS.

The men of Portugal are as fond Of
show as are the women. Their fingers
are nearly always loaded with rings,
and about their bodies, which are
often as round as the bowls of their
tobacco pipes, hang chains as thick as
ropes, from which are suspended
punches of trinkets.
The Portuguese dandy is very fond
of anything that will attract public
attention to his much esteemed per-
son. Above his snowy vest he wears;
cravat of cleaning colors, while int
his buttonhole is stuck full blown
rose Of inordinate size. 1 think 1 am
pretty safe in saying that most of the
promenaders have seen struttfng
about in the chief thoroughfares on;
Sunday with riding whip in their
hands and handsome spurs on their
heels have never set foot in the STIR
rup. The spur is to them a sign Of
nobility which they arrogate to them
selves-a relic of the privileges of the
old chivalry.-London Standard.
