POPULARITY OF FOOTBALL.

The fact that over l 200 games are
already scheduled to be played during
the season of three months between
teams of colleges, schools and other
educational institutions is indicative
of the importance of football to the
sport lovers of the land. 1t is practi-
cally impossible TO ascertain how
many games will be played by ath-
letic clubs. Y. NJ. C. AS, military or
CARNATIONS, etc
Many changes are noted in the new
rules, recently issued in Spalding's S
official football guide. While a large
percentage of the alterations are of
minor importance, others will have
an important bearing on the tech
nical side of the game, though not
necessarily changing the appearance
or form of the game as played last
year. Therefore the changes-in the
rules will be more noticeable to the
players than to the spectators.

ward, Parke H. Davis of Princeton.

POETRY, PROSE AND TRUTH.

tFor the Baseball Umpire)
IF | should die, and at my death
Some friend should come and stand
above me
Should whisper with his sobbing
breath
How very much he's come to love me
If he should weep and wiring his
hands
And wall that | had acted fairly.
Should say that ever from the stands
He's boosted me for doing squarely;
If he should say that | was right
In giving out some close decision
Against the home team in a fight
Where he had never cursed my
vision:
If he should whisper in his grief,
"Old boy, | know that you were
straight,
never called you a lop-eared thief
Nor swore you were pirates mate;
never clamored for a rope
When your decisions looked quite
sickly;
Nor have | yet expressed the hope
You'd go where snowballs vanish
quickly;
cheered each time you acted well.
AS though you were a human being
Nor daily gave you merry hell
For accidents beyond my seeing,
always thought you did your best
And so no side advice | proffered
think you fairly met the test,
Whenever the occasion offered"
If these were but the words he said
I'd rise up in my white cravat-
II were not enough to wake the dead
To get a sudden shock like that
I'd rise up in my coat of white
And look around a bit, and then,
II found that I'd heard Alright.
I'd drop back dead again."
