here do more toward making good citi-
zens of boys than any number of lee
lures or books can do. These lessons
of law and order are imbibed as the
boy goes about his play. They become
a part of him, and he obtains the true
essential ideas of good citizenship. An
incident that happened in Los Angeles
will show the efficiency of the play
ground in taking the boys off the
streets. In a certain part Of this city
it had been the custom of the police

VALUE OF FAIRGROUNDS.
How They Help In Making Children
Good Citizens.

Good Citizens.
Children, as well as their elders. can
help in making towns attractive by
keeping their home surroundings clean
and neat, by refraining from throwing
rubbish and paper On the streets and
in many other useful ways. But to ac-
complish this a great deal depends on
the character and training of children.
Healthy, pure minded and carefully
trained youngsters usually prove the
best town improvement workers. and
anything that can be done to benefit
their health and morals should be en-
couraged. Public and private play
grounds have been found to be very
helpful, and in the Los Angeles Times
George e. Bettinger tells as follows of
the benefits children have derived
from Fairgrounds in Los Angeles:

QUARTERBACK.
be roughly handled as on line plays.
Since the restrictions have been re-
moved from his movements he is work
ed on straight slams through the mid
die of the line, on skin tackle plays as
we'll as on wide sweeps around the
end. But mostly he is being used to
gain a few yards by squeezing in be-
tween center and guard.
So much for the work he is obliged
to do on the %offense. On the defense
he must be not only as active as he
used to be, but stronger. He must
catch punts and help to break up all
line plays and attempted flank move
ments. And he plays the principal
part, or the good ones have so far, in
diagnosing and breaking up forward
passes.
Few Good Ones This Season.
There are so few good quarterbacks
this season that it will not be much
OF a job from present indications to
dig one up for the All American eleven
this fall. Yale has Howe, Corey and
Merritt. All three are about fair.
princeton has a good one in Ballou.
In recent games he has proved that
he has an eye for distance and handles
punts Clearly. He is also a shifty
dodger and a good booter. OF Har-
wards acknowledgements, Potter and
Gardiner-the former is the best. He
is a hard worker. but none too hardy
and particularly susceptible to injury.
Pennsylvania has Thayer and Scott.
The pair started off poorly, but have
shown big improvement in the last
few games. Hyatt of West Point is
about the best in the east this season.
he Is a good runner. a hard, sure
tackler. has a good eye for distance
and handles punts clearly. Hyatt is
also a great kicker.
McGovern Of Minnesota a Corker,
Minnesota is n Of the few teams
b a have a real star in the quarterback
position. He is Johnny McGovern, the
choice for All American quarter last
year. and apparently be will have the
field all to himself again this season.
McGovern. judging by his work in re-
cent games. appears to be about every
thing that a quarterback should be.
In the big games of 1909 McGovern
starred occasionally, but in the recent
game against Nebraska he pulled off
sensation after sensation, and of every
five plays started off McGovern figured
con%spicuously in three.
He displayed a splendid generalship
during the game. When Nebraska's
always stiff defense started to drawing
in he dispersed it with a forward pass.
When the cornhuskers started to play
the loose line McGovern would shift
the attack through the line in the
weakest spots and appeared to possess
an uncanny ability to pick these weak
spots.
In addition to electrifying the $4,000
spectators with his long darting runs
and line bucks, McGovern negotiated
two splendid field goals and came
through the hour of hard play with an
entire team endeavoring to stop him
without injury or hurt more serious
than a bruise.

PERT PARAGRAPHS.

A MAN thinks the cool, bright days
Of autumn were made for foot
ball. A knows they were in
tended for housekeeping.
A widow says husbands are like au-
tomobiles-you are apt to use one up
learning how to run him.
The smarties' mission on earth must
be to teach others self control.
None is so poor as the man who is
touched for Il ten.
If every one voted a bore were to
hang himself. who would be left to
view the catastrophe?
When a man never worries there is
usually a woman around somewhere
who does the job for him.
A man is always sensitive about his
age till he gets old enough to be proud
of it.
If our own follies looked as ridiculous
to us as the follies of others look to
us we would soon grow wise.
However. all the fellows up in the
