PLAYS FIRST GAME SATURDAY
Columbia High School Will Meet
Montgomery City First.

The high school football season in
Columbia probably will open the
morning of September 80, when the
Columbia high school team is ex-
pected to play the Montgomery high
school team. The date is not yet
definitely set, although the game is
assured. 1t is not known when the
University high school will play its
first game, as its schedule is not yet
arranged.
The Columbia high school team
will be very light, even for high
school team, according to H. l..
Prather who is coaching it this year.
The chief dependence will be on
speed. About fifteen men have been
practicing for a little more than a
week, and squad of about twenty
five is expected as soon as arrange
n'ents can be made for more suits.
Quite number of experienced play
ers are back from last year. The
backfield is especially we'll supplied
with veterans, six old men being on
hand this year. They are Asbury,
Pritchard, Hill, Ketchum, Thompson,
and Smoot
In the line there is also a good
supply of seasoned material. Harrell
and Robnett are trying for center,
and Spurlock and Murray for guards.
Dunbar is back at tackle, while
Miller, new man who is showing
up well in practice, may be used at
the other tackle. Schwabe, Schooler,
White and Stewart are out for end
and have all had experience in the
game.
These games have already been
scheduled: Jefferson City high
school at Columbia, October IA;
College at Columbia,
November 4; Jefferson City high
school at Jefferson City, November
IL. Games have been promised
with Kemper, Blees, Montgomery
high school. and Sedalia high school.
A game will also be arranged with
the University high school.
Prather, who is coaching the team,
is senior in the School of Law at
the University. He has played foot
ball with class teams and with the
Varsity squad. although not On the
fist team.
Not much is known about the Uni
'ersity high school team as yet, as
practice will not begin until tomor-
row. 1t is expected, however, that
the team will be considerably heavier
than the Columbia high school team.
A meeting was held Friday in the in
-erests of football, at which about
forty men turned out.
w. L. Johnson, a senior in the
School of Engineering at the Univer-
'ity, and a member of last years
track team, was cho-
sen Friday to coach the team. He
will have charge of all the athletic
cams and tie gymnasium work.
LAST year he was considered one of
he best Milers in the Missouri VAL
ey. His acceptance of the position
neans that he will be ineligible for
he team this year. However, he
would have been eligible for the in
loor season only, as he has competed
II three outdoor seasons.
Kemper Military Academy, Mexico
Military Academy. and Vandalia high
chool have asked for games but no
schedule has been made out yet. Co.
umbia high school will also be
'layed. Two games will be played
With some of these teams, making
schdule of about seven or eight
,ames.

airy Lives Longer.
Save February, which alone
Has twenty-eight, but once in
four
To twenty-eight add one day
more.
February has something to look
forward to next year; it will be leap
year, and February will live one day
longer than it has for three years
past.
To the Romans this year seems to
leap" forward a day, and once each
four years they reckoned the same
day twice, having two February
2fths. AS a matter of fact leap year
is no longer than any other year
Each year has 365 IA days, and leap
year gets credit for the accumulated
fourths of the other years. julius
Caesar it was who arranged the cal
endar and allotted February the ex-
ira day, thereby demonstrating his
ability as a justice of the peace of
the months as we'll as in his better
advertised role as warrior for ever
since his day the arrangement has
proved perfectly satisfactory and no
other month has complained.
The Women Look Forward to 1t.
1t is whispered around quite conf
dentially that February isn't the
only one who looks forward to leap
year. Leap year there is no rule
against the women doing the
"astin'," and going after the men in
stead of putting the men to all the
trouble. Close observers, however.
say they are no more that way leap
year than any other. However, it's
a pretty safe guess that they stick
to the rules as we'll as the men in
case the suffragettes triumph and
men have to wait four years for a
chance.
How 1t Is Figured Out.
The real time that tries women's
souls, though, are the mistletoe days
of leap year. The men haven't the
nerve to kiss the girls, and then they
just raise an awful holler" when the
girls are too timid. They talk a lot
about what they would do if it were
just their place to do it, but they
are not so brisk the other three
years
Every year that is exactly divisible
by four is a leap year, except the
ends of centuries. Only the century
years are leap years which are divis-
ible by 400. There have been a great
many arrangements of the calendar
by different nations. After the
French Revolution a calendar for
