FOOTBALLS ASSASSINS !.
FIND ANOTHER ARGUMENT
Critics Claim That No College Men
Play Game After School Days Be-
cause II ls Too Rough.

One of the most powerful arguments
brought against football as a college
sport by its opponents is that by its
very nature it prevents men fro.l
keeping it up after leaving college. 1t
is also alleged that very little real fun
is got out of the game by those who
play it, and that its participants go
in for it vastly more on account Of the
glory and publicity attached to it than
for the sport itself.
A suggestion coming from @. G. o.
borne, right tackle ON last years
years Harvard team, in the form of a
letter to the Harvard Crimson, may
do much to abolish these evils of the
game in so far as Harvard is con-
cerned, provided the suggestion is car
ried out Osborne was player who
enjoyed the game himself every min
ute he was playing. He played foot
ball purely for the fun he got out of it,
and he is reluctant to abandon the
game now that he is no longer in col
lege For the last few weeks he has
been at Harvard coaching and playing
regularly on the scrub team. Os-
borne's idea is for the Harvard gradu-
ates to form a football team for a
few weeks every fall, play a few prac-
tice games and end up with a game
against the Harvard varsity some
where near the middle of the season
There is much to be said for the
plan. Every year number of gradu-
ates come back to Cambridge to coach
the team and sometimes play on the
second team If these men we're to
be brought back at the same time a
very strong team would be organized
from among them. And there is
enough football talent around Boston
to make it easy to organize very
strong eleven The plan seems to be
good one from all its aspects. The
grades would be enabled to keep up
their football for few weeks every
fall, they would be brought into close
touch with the varsity team each year,
and the varsity itself would be en-
abled to profit by playing regularly
against the strongest possible kind of
scrub team
Osborne's suggestion was limited to
Harvard, but If the plan proved to be
success there it might be followed
by other colleges. In the future the
regular Harvard-Yale football game
might be the occasion of contest on
the preceding day Of teams com.
posed of graduates of the two insti-
tutions. Such a contest regularly
takes place at New London, where a
race for "gentlemen's Fights has
come to be regular part OF the pro-
gram.

and one morning his horses got away
and started for home. He followed
them until about dusk, and at the top
of hill he saw a large bear Smith
knew that no wild animal would chase
a man, so he was not afraid, but he
'boo-ed' at the bear, and it sauntered
off around ON one side OF the hill, and
Smith on the other side, and at the
bottom of this same hill, to the sur
prise of both, they met again, and it
being a little dark, the bear to get
a better look, reared upon his
launches and commenced to walk to-
ward Smith. He had nothing with
which to defend himself and he knew
there was no use to run, so he stood
still, that is, he stood still until the
bear got SO close his legs would not
stand still any longer, so he gave him
a chase OF about fifty yards, and look.
ing back over his shoulder he took off
his hat and threw 1t in the bears
lace, and by that time the bear dis
covered he had been chasing a man,
and he was worse scared than Smith
was, in the first place, when the hat
struck him in the face he gave one
Dig whoo-hah and took out across the
plain as hard as he could CO. Smith
said he stood still and watched him
go, so l suppose that was case
where Smith was scared stiff and the
bear was scared timber

the business, will-map out the schedule
of the Central Association, formerly
the Iowa league. M, L. Justice, presl-
dent of the association. has made arr
rangements with Mr.. Finn, and he will
commence at once, in order to have 1t
ready for presentation at the next
meeting of the magnates, to be held
in Burlington about the 18th OF Jan
uary.
One Of the features Of this new
schedule will be that there will be no
open dates. as has been the case in
years gone by. The season, as the
schedule will show, will open on May
), in Keokuk, Quincy, Jacksonville and
Burlington, and one hundred and
twenty-six games viii be played.
The Sunday games will be evenly
divided, while the four cities which
showed the best attendance last sea-
son on holidays will get the best Of
it in the schedule to be framed up BY
Finn.
Another innovation suggested by
President Justice for the season OF
1908 is that the schedule shall be map
ped out so that six consecutive games
will be the rule for each city, it being
stipulated that there shall not be
more than nine consecutive games in
any one CITY, And when it comes to
railroad jumps, it is expected that a
great saving will be made in the way
of paying railroad fares.

Quincy Journal: The matter OF the
Central Association being promoted TO
Glass C, will be taken up at the an
nual meeting of the organization to be
held some time in January, and II the
population of the eight towns in the
circuit reach the required 100000 pop
ulation, application will be sent to the
national commission for admission TO
higher class at once. DR.. Bonhan,
OF Ottumwa. who was named as a
committee of one at the recent meet
ing held in Quincy to send out letters
to the mayors of the various cities
of the circuit and get a sworn state
ment of the population, has heard from
Mayor Best of Quincy. who states that
to the best of his belief from the
facts in hand, Quincy has a population
OF $4,000 and including the territory
surrounding the city within radius
of five miles, the population would
reach an aggregate of $4,000. With
the population of Burlington, which is
10000, according to the statement
sent by the mayor of that city TO,
DR.. Bonham, the total of these two
cities amounts to nearly half the re-
quired number and there is no ques-
ton but what the other six cities OF
the circuit can scrape up 10000.

BOY WAS SOMEWHAT MIXED.
Had Wrong Idea Of the Sound to Be
Removed.

Deacon Allen Sheldon, who recently
passed away, was universally respect.
ed by all who knew him, and his
stories were listened to with much de.
light, says a writer in the Boston
Herald. He used to tell the following
with great deal of interest:
When very small boy he asked his
father to let him go with him to the
town meeting. He went, with the
promise that when he returned he
would tell the folks what happened
In those days the church was sup
ported by a tax on every property
holder. Whatever of interest came up
for the church had to be voted on at
the town meeting.
The pastor being feeble and his
voice not strong, an article in the
town warrant called for the removal
OF the sounding board from over the
pastors head, since it acted as an ex.
tinguisher, and not as originally
planned. When Allen returned he
told his mother about the sounding
board, and said
mr.. Flagg got up and said, in his
squeaky voice: Mr.. Moderator. /
make motion that we remove the
sound from under the board"
