Teams in Crude State.

The general play Saturday did not re-
veal much of startling nature in the
way of innovations, and the face of foot
ball looks just about the same as of yore.
That the teams are still in a pretty crude
state was made evident by the great
amount of fumbling. Clean handling Of
the ball is one of the primary lessons
taught the squads, and it looks as though
the lessons had not been learned parti-
cularly well. Iale's backs were very
crude in their Judgment and handling Of
punts, Harvard INDUCED in an orgy of
juggling on occasion and Princeton and
Pennsylvania were also guilty Of infrac-
tons against this essential. 1t is an early
season fault, however, and is not over

Stevens. but resorted chiefly to old-time
tactics. This. however, need not be taken

Treachery of inanimate Objects When

Who is it that tells inanimate OBJ

They always know and their ghoulish
tricks are really horrid TO see. Chairs
fall over on no pretext whatever. The
mere brush of ones skirt and down

own innocence is so clear to one, but
the chairs know how difficult il will
be for you to fasten the. blame on
them, and with silent chuckles they
implicate you dozen times. Doors
bang that at other times close with an
invariable mousiness Things at the
opposite end of the room creak loudly
quite shameless in the openness with
which they dispense with ali cause
but their own wicked intentions. After
a while one abandons caution and
gives up going on tiptoe. II every
thing is determined TO make such a
fearful rumpus you might as well &C
cept calmly the reputation for thought
lessness which will be laid at your
door with entire unjustness. Humans
are not unkind to inanimate objects.
Why should the latter always behave
as though they had a grudge to pay
off? 1t is churlish. 1t makes one
wonder if the Japanese did not have
deep reasons for discarding furniture.
They believe in devils, but they prefer
having them on pedestals, where they
can be watched, rather than lurking
about in household effects, ready to
betray one at moments notice.
There may be a great deal in this mat
ter. 1t should be carefully investi-
gated, and, if possible, cleared up.
