coincidence they want to, but that

was weak. Why, I'd be ashamed to
smash man as hard as could when
l knew he was nearly out. Ed ask the
referee to stop the fight before I'd
do that.
Here's another reason why football
is bad business: In a fight if man
gets a clip on the jaw and goes down
and can't get up again in ten seconds
he's done. He doesn't have to take
any more punishment. In a football
game they give man two minutes to
come back If they had had some
such rule as we have in the ring this
cadet would never have been killed.
He would have been out of the game
when he was stunned the first time.
Risk Everything For Nothing.
Heres another thing that strikes
me. Most of the boys who play foot
ball are only kids, They haven't their
growth or their full strength. They
go in there and get slammed around,
and they cannot stand it. They don't
get thing out of it if they win. DO
you suppose all the rah-rah business
in the world could make up the loss
of one boy-to his folk? They risk
everything for nothing.

Jim Jefries, the pugilist. who is

about college football. He commented
on the fate of Cadet Eugene A. Byrne,
who died from injuries received in the

few answers out of him before his
tongue began to work freely.

Never Misses a Meeting or a
Chance to Vote on a
Bill.

$TT HERE'S a certain contingent in
the Senate that seems to be al
ways on the job, not only seems
to be, but is. They always show UP
when there's a session scheduled and
never leave until the president ar
nounces that the Senator from Somer-
set moves that the meeting do now adj

vote on everything, and when they have
anything to say about any bill, they say
it right out in meeting and vote ac.
cordingly.
Senator Harry d. LeaVitt, of Mercer,
is one of them. If the Senator from
Mercer was ever anywhere else h in
the Senate chamber when the time
came for roll-call, no one a discovered
it yet. That's his style. He got into
the habit of working in the offices he
was elected to long ago, and it seems
