FOOTBALL IS. AN OLD GAME
Huhlenbero College Team Told OF lts
Ancient OrIoin-PIayed at Least
% Early 40 $50 3. c.

In the small hours, at the close OF
the banquet given by Allentown grid
Iron enthusiasts to the Muhlenberg
football team, the players got together
and elected George Bixler of Easton az
captain for next year, to succeed Say
acool, who will graduate in June.
.Bixler has been playing right end and
his fleet legs and his punting ability
were responsible for more than one
victory this year.;
The feature of the banquet was the
address of Professor Reese, the fac
ulty member of the Athletic associa-
ton, who presented the letter and
sweaters. Professor Reese declared
that football is the Oldest game, and
the one with the widest vogue through
I'LL the worlds history. He quoted
Scripture to show that the game was
played at least as early as $50 B. c.,
during Homer's time, and among the
,Spartans in Greece; then later in
Rome, and finally being introduced in
America in 1908. The Eskimos and
the South Sea islanders play the game.
In 1915 Edward II. of England issued
decree abolishing the game, as did
also later sovereigns of England. Dur
ing the reign of Augustus in Rome he
ordered the rules of the game re-
Vised because the game at the time
was COZ sidered too mild Shake
speare, Chaucer, Addison, Izaak WAL
ton, Cooper and others all advocated
football" continued Professor Reese,
Showing that thinking men of their
time thought we'll of the game, the
same as thinking men of today think
and speak we'll Of it. The so-called
new game or new method of playing
the game is nothing but an evolution
of the old, and is not new at ALL Its
long-continued uninterrupted history
shows that it is a game of great vital
1ty, making of it's players fine physical
specimens and inoculating in them
not only true craftsmanship, but man.
Illness as WE'LL"
There Is rejoicing in Allentown
over news from Easton that Lafayette
has put Muhlenberg on it's football
schedule for next year.

COMBINE HARVESTER NOW BUSY
IN PRAIRIE GRAIN FIELDS.
ARRIVING BY THE CAR LOAD
Old Time Methods Fast Giving Way to
Busy With New Machines.

Time was, and not so far in the past
either, when the harvest season on
the Prairie was looked forward to with
considerable dread by the ranchers,
the hard work and long hours made
necessary in harvesting the crop not
making the anticipated harvest the
most pleasing thing in the world to
look forward to. Then, too, after the
grain has been cut, the wait for ma
chine to thresh the same was annoying
and caused the loss of more or less
sleep by the farmer. These conditions
are now rapidly passing, thanks to the
ingenuity of the Moscow man who in
vented the little combine harvester,
the machine that cuts, threshes and
places the grain in the sack at much
less cost than by the old method, to
say nothing of the elimination OF the
hard work and worry under the old
system. This machine has worked won
ders on the Prairie and while the first
machine of that type was brought to
the Prairie but several years ago, today
finds the Little Idaho humming IN
many fields, doing its work without
hitch and as regular as a clock. The
mast month several car loads of Little
Idahos have arrived on Camas and
Nez Perce Prairies and the company
is now busy erecting the machines
General AGENT Barton from the factory
and Field Agent Freddy being kept
busy supervising the work. Some day
when you have little spare time take
run out to one of the fields where the
machine is at work and see what the
ingenuity of an Idaho man has done
for the wheat ranehers of the west.

There have been created in this coun-

entirely and the people of said
districts can vote bonds for improve

county. These figures of the assessed
