Plain Men.

OF late the plain man has been
much to the fore in fiction Nova
days we get little or nothing OF the
handsome heroes who charmed our
childish minds in the seventies and
eighties. Gone are the Guy Living
stones al a past age, with cir biue
eyes, red lips, and goId-backed hair
brushes, and also gone are "Ouida :"

Men like these, dreamy, dark-haired.
and romantic. seem to US soft, silly
and more or less effeminate. And
Rhoda Broughton's so-called 'VIK-
ings," fair-skinned, aXen-haired,
brainless giants, are strangely out of
touch with modern ethics and the
mental demands of the twentieth cen
fury.
Now this change of front is of in

old notion that plainness is allied to

TO REFORM FOOTBALL.
College Representatives Meet in New
York to Demand Ii.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Seventeen
colleges and universities are repre-
scented today at a gathering in this
city of athletic interests, which is
expected TO give force to the demand
for reform in the rules governing
football
When the football season of the
leading institutions of learning and
sports closed last month, the list Of
the dead and injured doomed up like
the mortality register of some bloody
battle. Captain Palmer E. Pierce, L.
S. A. president OF the Intercollegiate
Athletic Association, Immediately de
cided that something must be done to
lessen the terrOrs of football as it is
now played, and in this opinion he
has the support of the other mem
bers of the association. At today
meeting the matter is being thrashed
out and it is altogether likely that
football in 1910 will be subject to
radical changes. Just what thesa
changes should be is mooted ques
ton on which the critics and coaches
do not agree. Speakers on the pro-
gram of the meeting include Chan
cellor Day of Syracuse, DR.. Sargent
of Harvard, and Prof Moran of Pur
due Delegates from all sections Of
the country are present.

Here is gem Of an editorial clipping
from the Stanley (N. y sun:
"The editor OF newspaper is often
accused of leaving out certain items OF
news purposely, because of a dislike of
the person to be mentioned, or from
prejudice or another cause. This is all
bosh The editor has something like a
million different things to think of in
connection with the issue of one paper
and it is not surprising that he misses
an item occasionally or sometimes for
gets one which has been called to his
attention. Nine out of ten people you
ask for news items will tell you they
can't think of any. Butin most cases
expect the editor TO think of them all
and eriticise him II he fails in single
item. The best way is TO give the
editor credit for what he does find and
mention and for some things that he
finds and doesn't mention"
