gave him a wink. Drawing himself
up with much dignity, the lieutenant

Then, as the sightseers set out to take
advantage of his kindness he went
over the side and chugged away in his

ODDITIES OF THE GRIDIRoN
Remarkable Plays That Have En-
IlVened the Winter Sport Ex-
clusiVely American.

In the fall of 1899 Young, the Cor
nell quarterback, received bad bump
on the head during the first half OF
one Of the early games and was so
daZed that he gave the signal for the
same playa tackle buck-eight
times in succession. The rival eleven,
unable to comprehend such general
ship, or rather lack of it, became just
as bewildered as the injured quarter
back and in the effort to understand
the unintelligible, let the Cornell
backs through for quick touchdown.
The calling out of numbers while
the opposing quarterback is trying to
give his team the signal for the next
play has resulted in numerous tan
giles. In one Of the recent Army and
Navy contests the quarterback OF the
latter eleven became so confused in
one instance when the Army players
were shouting out various numbers
while he was trying to direct the next
play that he actually gave his men
one of the series of numbers the Army
men were suggesting. The incompre-
hensible signal and the subsequent
mixup may be better imagined than
explained.
On the Yale squad in 1906 there
was a man who was not only good
player but an excellent comedian. 1t
was told Of him that more than once
he put this gift to good account in a
game. An amusing remark here. bit
Of a story there, then touch Of bur-

forget for the moment that football
is too serious a matter for laughter.
1t Is unnecessary to add that the

his own dramatic efforts as to fail to
take advantage of their effect on the

I'm taking you to the house of a

short distance; and when we get there

He made no reply, but got into the
boat without ado. 1 turned over in my
mind the few items of information
that had gained from Miss Pat and
her niece touching the young man
who was now my prisoner, and found
that knew little enough about him.
He was the unwelcome and annoying
sutton of Miss Helen Holbrook, and
l had caught him prowling about ST.
Agatha's in a manner that was indie
feasible.
He sat huddled in the stern, nursing
his swathed arms on his knees and
whistling dolefully. The lake was a
broad pool of silver. Save for the
soft splash of Ijima's paddle behind
me and the slight wash of water on
the near shore. silence possessed the
world. Gillespie looked about with
some curiosity, but said nothing, and

ishly through the pickets, and gave
kick that set the glass to tinkling.
Then he held up his hands in sign Of
surrender and 1 saw that they were
cut and bleeding. We were both badly
blown, and while we regained our
wind we stared at each other. He
was the first to speak.

broad Scots at the destruction of the
