A NEW CLASS RUSH.
Combination of Football and Free
Fight Tried at Pennsylvania.

Combination of Football md Free
Fight Tried at Pennsylvania.
An innovation in class PUSHES was
| recently tried with great success by
the freshmen and sophomores of the
University of Pennsylvania, says the
New York Tribune Instead of the
senseless fight in the basement of Col
lege hall, in which many students have
in past years received injuries owing
to the limited space for the fracas, the
seniors decided this time to have the
! affair in Franklin field AS another
Improvement it was arranged to make
the class rush a combiE4 ton of foot
ball on a gigantic scale and free for
all pushing scramble.
| Sophomores and freshmen lined up
on opposite sides of Franklin field,
while the senior who managed the ar
fair stood in the center with a football.
Each side was instructed that the
game was to carry the ball down be-
hind the goal posts, as at football. NO
rules were made for the rush. The
sole object was to get the ball back
of the game posts. Any tactics short OF
numbering an opponent would be deem
ed fair. All class PUSHES are governed
by this basic understanding. When
both sides were ready the students
stripped to the waist, and, thirsting
for each others blood, the ball was
thrown into the air, and the opposing
SQUADS came together with crash.
Thenceforth it was a squirting, Strug-
Cling bunch of boys, with a football
somewhere in the center of the mass,
where no one knew or seemed to care.
The most sensational incident of this
new class rush was the sudden ap-
pearance from the rim OF the strug-
Cling circle of a scared and battered
football. Only one boy of the half
naked contestants saw the ball. Inc
rest were too intent on the struggle to
notice that the objective of the fight
had made it's escape between the feet
of the students. The one boy who hap
nened to see the ball making its coy
way to freedom grabbed it and held
It in his hands uncertainty for a mo
ment.
run with it," yelled a hundred
voices in unison as the astonished
spectators saw what had happened.
The boy with the ball ran, with the
entire aggregation of students after
him. But he had a clear field, and no
one could stop him short of the goal
line. He made clean touchdown. But
alas for the futility of human endeay-
or-he had touched the bail behind his
opponents goal, scoring one victory for
the freshmen. Emerging, as he dld,
from the fracas with his head swim
ming and both sides Of the field alike
TO him, the unfortunate sophomore had
made the objectionable mistake of run
ming with the ball in the wrong direc-
ton.
The spectators in the stands com
planned that they could not see what
was going on, so next year a pushbaIl
will be substituted for the football.
The new style rush was so successful
that it will become permanent fea-
ture Of student life at Old Penn.

sleep. The truth is that this vice of
oversleeping is habit. If a man
will only try to get along with less
sleep he will be surprised to discover
how little he really needs. And he
will find his faculties very much inn
proved by the effort
1T is not so much the quantity as
the quality of sleep that counts. The
man who lies eight or nine hours in
bed, tossing about from time to time,
doesn't get anything like as much rest
os the man who sleeps soundly for five
hours.
I'VE are slaves to sleep. Why, for
instance, should we go to sleep at
night? The only difference between
night and day is that the sun goes
down in one case and comes up i'll the
other. What difference should that
make? l suppose it is simply habit
acquired through thousands of years
Of ancestry We have become like the
chickens, who go to roost when it is
dark. l cannot account for it except
on the ground of long continued habit
Another common mistake is to look
upon hard work as injurious. You see
Mr.. s-and-that-and-t he-other-felloW
announcing that he has been working
very hard and must go off to Europe
for a rest. Bosh! He has been eating
and drinking too much and hasn't
worked half enough.
THE healthy man can't work too
hard or too much. When his work tires
him out he will go to sleep and will get
the right kind Of sleep
Work, hard work, simply puts an
edge on a man for more hard work. If
he is dull and can't sleep let him work
a little more If that doesn't help mat
tiers let him work still more and still
harder In the end he Will come out all
right.
Smoking tobacco is a pretty good
working stimulant. l fuQ it much bet
ter than drink of any kind. Alcohol
seems to scatter the thoughts. It's a
poor thing to work on. But tobacco
helps.
But cigarettes! They're deadly. 1t
isn't the tobacco, it's the acrolein pro
duced by the burning paper that does
the harm, and, let me tell you, acrolein
is one Of the most terrible drugs in its
effect on the human body. The burning
of ordinary cigarette paper always
produces acrolein. That is what makes
the smoke so irritating. | really be-
lieve that 1t often makes boys insane.
We sometimes develop acrolein in this
laboratory in our experiments with
glycerin. One Whit of it from the oven
drove one of my assistants out of the
building the other day. l can hardly
exaggerate the dangerous nature of
acrolein, and yet that is what man or
boy is dealing with every time he
smokes an ordinary cigarette"

MANNlsH WAYS A MISTAKE.
Women VIII Never Win Alteration
from Men BY Adopting
Them

Women are never more largely and
gorgeously mistaken than when they
think that they maze q winning with
men by trying TO make imitation men
Of themselves. The tallacy that men
pine for women to be little brothers 70
them has gained ground Of late and
found many adherents among women
who affect masculine sports, discuss
risQue subjects, and endeayor to wips
out the sex line. Never was greater
folly. II is woman's unlikeness to man,
the difference Of her point Of view. that
makes all her charms and lends pi-
Quancy to her society. II q man wanted
the ideas Of another man on a subject,
he would seek one who had been born
10 the masculine estate, not one who
has merely understudied the role.
Men like what We call the old-fash-
ioned virtues in women, says the Chi
cago Tribune. Il is the fashion now for
women to be blase and cynical, but there
is no man so hardened that he does not
shudder away from a hard woman. He
may never put his foot inside Of q
church, but he wants a woman to be
pious. He may disbelieve in everything
in heaven and earth. but he wants
woman to have childlike faith in every
thing. and no matter how much he laughs
at her for her credulity, he loves her the
better for it. He may judge the world
mercilessly, but he wants a woman TO
be full OF tender and unreasoning SYM
pathy and pity. No man ever loved a
woman who did not cry. or who was not
tender to little children, or who would not
give to a beggar and investigate his
needs afterwards The girl who thinks
1t smart to sneer at domesticity and de-
clares that she will never debase her tai
ents by learning to cook or sew, who
hates children and mocks at religion, no
matter how brilliant or beautiful she is,

Love always appears At its best
When 1t goes wooing. 1t always

Of that body into the most attractive

itself In the most attractive garb.
