FEATURES OF CAMPUS SPORT.

The Best and the Worst Found Most
Sharply Defined In Football.
The best and worst features Of
campus sport are found most sharply
defined in football. Now the fact
seems often overlooked that the aver
age American youth is both honest by
instinct and keen for fair play. He
enters college with normal fondness
for outdoor past1me. AS one OF his
first Impressions, he learns that the
football team 10 complicated ma
chine Of infinite exactitude," from
which the youth Of average physical
equipment is well-n1gh barred. Then
he discovers that the kind of game
played by the few picked heroes is SO
difficult and exhaust1ng thet the three
months season suggests slavery far
more than sport. He grasps the fact
that rowing Is a pursuit which de-
mands a long and arduous training
period in order to drill eight men into
absolute harmony Of action, and lie
does not see how working for the crew
could be made any easier. But foot
ball, in bracing autumn weather, looks
as If it ought to offer a fair field to
any strong and plucky youth willing
to endure hard knocks. Really there
ought to be much fun in it. he thinks.
He finds, however, that players,
trainers and coaches are thinking Of
nothing else than welding together
eleven brawny giants into certain bat
tering ram formations, the impetus Of
which shall be more deadly and last
ing than that Of a rival mass of beef
and muscle on a certain afternoon
+ three months distant. The freshman,
standing in disconoslate idleness on
the side lines, perceives also that In
university of perhaps two or three
thousand students 1t is not considered
possible to assemble eleven men Of the
standards of physique and intelligence
required to form championship
team" wherefore 1t Is necessary to
recruit among the preparatory schools
and to throw out drag-nets for promis-
ing material among the smaller col
leges. And this youngster Of ours may
be wise enough to glimpse the fact.

Presently the two men were out on the

that Is simply a question OF ornament and

CHAPTER VII.

The next morning James was awakened
by loud voices coming from the vicinity of
the stable. He had not slept very WE'LL and
now at dawn felt drowsy, but the voices
would not let him sleep. He rose dressed
and went out in the stable-yard. There he
found Doctor Gordon, Aaron and a strange
man. small and red-haired and thin-faced,
with shifty eyes, holding by the bride
fine black horse.
Don't want to buy horse with bride
on" Doctor Gordon was saying as James
appeared.
DO you think I'm the man to bear in
sults?" inquired the little red-haired man
with f1erceness. >ys-.r....-.
Insult nothing 1t is business" said
Gordon. -
THAT'S So" Aaron said, chewing and
eying the black horse and the red-haired
man thoughtfully.
"WeIl." said the little red-haired man
with an air at once of injured innocence
and ferocity, IF you want to know why I
object to selling this horse without bride
come here and I'll show you" Gordon and
Aaron and James approached The red
haired man slipped the bride and under
meath 1t appeared a small sore There
that's the reason. and I'll tell you the
truth" said the man defantly. Here 1

Here's an animal paid cool hundred for

Let me see that sore again. said Cor
don. He slipped the bride and examined
the place carefully Then he looked hard
at the horse, which stood with great do
cility, although he held his head proudly.
He was fine beast. glossy black in color
and had magnificent tail.
Make 1t eighty said Gordon.
Couldn't think of it."
II don't know as want the horse, any
way" said Gordon.
iii call 1t eighty-seven and a half"
said the little red-haired man.
Gordon stood still for moment. Then
he pulled out his wallet. "Eighty-six and
call 1t square," he said.
"All right" said the red-haired man.
TITS a-givin' of him away. but I'm so
darned tired Of trampin the country with
him that I'll call it eighty-six, and it's the
biggest bargain you ever got in your life in
the way Of horse flesh. I wouldn't let him
go at that figure, but my wife's sick, and
want to get home"
The red-haired man carefully counted
over the roll of bank notes which Dr.
Gordon gave him, although it seemed to
James that he used some haste. He also
thought that he was evidently anxious to
