The New Football.
COLORADO.

During the past two months advo-
rates and opponents of football and
those who regard it dispassionately
as a human activity, to be reckoned
with and understood, have had oppor-
tunity to see it played under the new
rules. For some years educators and
parents objected that the game was
morally and physically injurious.
Some good players, frank enough to
brave the charge of disloyalty, con-
fessed that the game was all work
and little sport Spectators protested
that the play was formless struggle
of massed power, not intelligible, nor
pleasant to watch, except for thrills
of partizan loyalty. After long con-
ference the rules were changed. 1t is
evident that the changes were real
and in the right direction. The play
is now more open. There is more
chance for agility and speed, less
Bcrimmage and shock of mere weight
and muscle. The players cover more
ground in given series of plays.
Offenses against good conduct are
easier for the officials to see and pun
fish than in the old dense formations.
From all parts of the country come
expressions of satisfaction with the
improvement. Spectators find 1t more
interesting to watch. Players seem
to enjoy it better. Besides observing
the formal rules of the game, players
have felt that football was on trial,
and nave evidently tried to show a
good spirit Several prominent edu
Gators who opposed the old game
think that the new game has earned
its right to an extended probation.
There is room for further improve
ments, remarks the Youths Compan-
ion. Undesirable roughness is still
possible. Those whose duty it is to
frame the rules can proceed on the
basis Of this years experience toward
a yet better game. The real faults
lie in loss Of temper under excitement
and the presence Of a spirit which
drives contestants to try to win at all
costs. Football cannot be made a
satisfactory game by mere changes in
its outward form: real improvement
must be in the spirit Of the contest.

GREAT DISCOVERY.

Yet scientists may determine that
this country was inhabited at Least
as anciently as Egypt or Southern
Asia. A great wall of stone has
been known to exist In Texas, some
30 miles from Dallas, and now Ar
chaologlsts are examining this wall
and pronounce 1t older than similar
structures in Egypt. 1t is 20 miles
long extending northwest and south
east. 1t is known to be 40 feet high
in places. Excavations are being
made with the expectation of UNI
earthing a buried and forgotten
city.
The top of the wall is some three
feet under ground and is built of
regular blocks of sand stone.
Who knows but yet we may find
in this country the ancient ruins of
prehistoric civilization that will
eclipse that of the old world. II is
no more unreasonable to suppose
that this country was inhabited in
the early days than that the eastern
hemisphere was. In fact it is more
reasonable to believe that it was.
But what became of the people?
Why do we not find more evidences
of their abode1 The only inference
is that this continent was subjected
to greater surface and climatic
changes and their cities and towers
were more completely obliterated
and covered up. Who knows but
this Texas discovery may lead TO
great and wonderful Developments
in this country and discoveries that
may startle the world.
