When Elton, the of the little squad OF
athletes trotted clumsiy out upon the field a few
minutes before the game called. he emerged into
chaos of noise and people. On every side OF the
whiteribbed paralleogram great tiers OF seats cir
Gus style, slanted skyward. 1t reminded Elton of
huge funnel with the broad expanse of blue sky
above and the waving banners on the sides that
narrowed down the ridiculous little patch of saw
dust cut into curious slices by the garing white
lines Over it all hung the holiday air of unreaiity
The rival university bands woke to the occa-
son and tried Guido each other with their rolick-
ing. inspiring music. The bleacher crowds fitted
words to the tunes and howled them forth with
deep-lunged vigor Wordy duels between the
owners of megaphones added to the spectators en-
joyment And last and by far the most pleasing
were the varsity yes, one. snappy and short; the
other. cadent and long drawn out Thousands OF
voices in perfect unison made the yells reverberatc
and echo far the little city.
The game started at last Squatted near the side
lines with blanket thrown carelessly about his
shoulders, Elton sat passive and immovable. as be-
came his stolid Indian appearance. He only
grunted with high glee when he the captain OF
his team send the ball in long. twisting kick almos.

dull thud, and fell back for loss Elton knew each
the team, and good plays were more than
he had a right to expect.
1t was a championship game, and to this day
who know all the and guiles of football speak
of it with awe Minute after minute the two teams
struggled for supremacy. Neither could advance the
ball apprecably and both forced to resort to
kicking tactics Back and forth sailed the ball with
monotonous regularity. Where it caught.
there it downed. Not tumble marred the per-
feet playing; not hint of undue roughness called
the spectators attention. Each of the teams was
backed by traditions of college lore and that 10y
atty which is the inspiration of great universities.
So all through the first half they fought with
logged hopeessness. Neither side scored; neither
team, in fact, within striking distance OF
