they discussed the phenomenon, squatting around
the fires and looking up at the stars.

One day Millward and his men, hacking their
way forward came out suddenly into little

that 1t was one Of the ancient sacrihcial stones
of the Mayas, and that the natural glade in which
1t had rested for centuries was once the sylvan

where they "averted evil" to their people by
human sacrifices

There is one pleasing thing to be
deduced from review of the figures
showing the fire loss in the United

beginning Of the year. The amount
for August was $14,1SS, ,OOO-the small

For the first eight months of 1912 the

Herring, developed and practicedi
the play before going into the
game, but he doubted its legality }
Herring consulted the referee[
before the game, explained theg
play,7and asked his opinion. john
c. -Karel of Wisconsin, known to
football fame as ''Iky" Karel, was 1
the referee, and he decided the
play to be legal. Karel is now,
Judge Karel of Milwaukee.
During this game Notre Dame
fought the ball into Chicago's
territory and on the first attempt
negotiated a goal from placement
from the 35-yard line, scoring
five points.
Following the introduction of
the play by Notre Dame in 1897 it
became a regular part Of the aga

By John R. Richards.
A new way of scoring was in
vented with the first use of the
place-kick from scrimniage. This
kick is made by placing a player
from eight to twelve yards behind
center, to whom the ball is passed
by the center. Another player
stands few feet back of this first
man, and as the ball is placed on
the ground and held in position,
the second player kicks it.
All this is done while the line
and disengaged backs are block
ing opponents to prevent spelling
the kick. The place is a little
slower than the drop kick.
The place-kiek was used long
before the application of the
kick in a scrimmage was thought
out. Place-kicks for goal after a
touchdown had been in use for
years. Place-kicks following a
fair-catch, whereby the catching
side has earned the right to free
kick, were long in use.
The idea of using the place
kick under the trying circum-
stances of a scrimmage developed
into tangible results in 1894. The
