FOOTBALL INSANITY.
A PROMINENT TRAINER SAYS
PLAYERS HAVE DELUSIoNS.
Long Continued Physical and Nervous
Strain Causes Ailment Similar to
Softening of the Brain-Minds
Given to Wandering.

football players, according to Jere De
laney, trainer OF Northwestern uniyer-
sity eleven, are subject to an ailmeDt
similar to softening OF the brain, which
leads not only TO the making of peculiar
statements, but causes strange actions
which sometimes are amusing.
The exact cause of the trouble, Traip-
er Delaney says, he is unable to fathom.
He declared, however, that it results
more from the long continued physical
and nervous strain TO which the men are
subjected during the three months Of
rigid training which they are forced TO
undergo than from the blows, kicks and
bumps they receive on their skulls dur.
ing games.
Only at rare intervals during the foot
ball season is a candidate for a univer-
sity team allowed any real recreation.
His mind constantly is concentrated on
the theories and facts Of the game, which
are pounded into him by his coaches and
trainers.
Delaney has had considerable expert
cnce with athletes both in the east and
in the west, and it is from his close OBJ
servation of their behavior, he says, that
his conclusions are deduced.
1T always has been my aim, he said,
mot only to keep the mems bodies in
fighting trim. but to. watch their mental
condition, and to see that they are not
inclined to let their thoughts wander to
strange, imaginary subjects when they
are at rest.
1T is known that every player of the
game fights his games over and over
again in his dreams, but only the men
who are in the closest touch with the
players is IT recognized that they are
given to constant day dreaming, during
which they make strange motions, as ii
struggling with an Imaginary op.
ponent''
According to Delaney. the athletes are
given to almost childish methods of play

CLUB is ENEMY OF HOME.
Institutions Severely Denounced by a.
Writer Who Says Women Only
Learn Bad Habits There.

In these days daughters and wives
resent the advice and supervision OF
those whom providence ordained to look
after and protect them. They go &c
clubs, they mix with the loafers of theit
W sex, with occasional variations:
they behave with the independence OF
wild young men about town; they desc.
crate home life-in short, they supper
ladies' clubs
The foregoing is the conclusion Of q
spirited attack on women's clubs in an
article in a recent issue of the World CT
Dress, a London publication,
The writer-a woman evidently-be-
Iieves that, unless she wants to smoke,
drink, nirt, and bet, a woman has no
need of a club,
But nowadays nearly every woman
belongs to one, which is, the writer be-
lieves, the reason that home, as it used
to be, is "~dwindling into merely a place
to sleep at and the home duties and
the home life no longer interest the
modern women.
Ten years ago a woman's club was a
rarity. To-day In the West end they are
as plentiful as betting offices. ana have
Just about as good a moral influence on
the community"
Women in smoking-rooms, women
in billiard-rooms, women hanging over
the tape which rolls out the latest win.
ner'-!t Is not a very enlightening pic
ture, and the writer wonders what
righteous occupation a woman can find
In a club that she cannot find in her W
home.

Ovaritis or inflammation of the

other causes. The slightest indication

by dull throbbing pain in the side, ac-
