about four miles in twenty minutes.
Rowing requires the greatest
amount of sustained effort of any
game. In football sometimes the
playing is fast, and sometimes it
drags. In a boat race the effort is
always the same, it is one continuous
piece of work at the pace set by the
stroke. In football there may be only
about twenty minutes of actual play
during the whole game. Measuring
the time from the time the ball is
kicked off till it is called dead, with
out counting the intervals between
the different plays the real work in a
football game often takes up only
about twenty minutes Of course it is
hard effort, but it is scattered over
enough time to allow the players to
rest. 1t boat race there are twenty
minutes of work in twenty minutes of
time. 1t calls for greater endurance
than any other sport. 1t calls more
muscles INTO play, 100.
But the good oarsman doesn't gain
the power of initiative given by the
freedom of play in football. The
nearer a machine he is, the less he
tries to think while rowing, the better
oarsman he is. 1t is just the opposite
in football. Football requires a men
tai as well as physical alertness, that
makes it the best all round game, in
my opinion.
Football Requires Sixth Sense.
Football besides the physical mus
cular training and endurance which
it requires. calls for variety of men,
tai qualities. The good football man
must be versatile. His most valuable
asset is what is called the football
instinct which cannot be defined, but !
can be recognized by the results 1t /

seems to know what is going to hap /

ions of the men on the opposing
cam. 1t is not reasoning. but in

buried in Orrwood. Miss, ceme-
terry Nov. 9th. Mr.. Spears was
10 years of age and had been a
man of wonderful vigor until the
last ten months. Upon failing to
find relief here he and his wife
went in the spring to Oklahoma.
hoping the climate there would
build up his lost strength but this
with the most careful nursing
aud oest medical attention prov
ed of no benefit, instead, he
gradually grew weaker and was
never able to return home.
He went bravely and faithfully
through the civil war without a
wound and like most old soldiers
never tired telling of their days
of struggles, hardships and often
pleasures.
Fifty-obe years ago he was
married to Lenora Gray who,
with four sons and three dsugh-
tiers are left to mourn his death.
Although all are married and

Minutes Of the Lamar Rifles
Association.

The Lamar Rifle Association
met in their 14th annual meeting
on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 2Sth,
1912. The following members
were present: Thos. p. Buford,
.lno. +. Brown, Chas. b. Nelson,
Jas. K. Kendel and Jas. +. Doo-
ley. They met at A. II. Kendel's
drug store and from there they
joined the Lafayette county
Camp, No. 152, and in a body
proceeded to the First Presbyte-
rian Church. 26 in number, and
heard a most excellent sermon
preached by the Rev. w. W.
Mitchell OF the Methodist church.
The host and hostess for the
day was Capt. and Mrs. J. l..
Shinault, who also had invited
the Lafayette County Camp and
the Lamar Rifles in particular, to
partake of the most sumptuous
dinner it was our good fortune to
enjoy since our last meeting.
The dinner was served in a most
elegant manner by Mrs. Shinault
assisted by Mrs. Florrie Shinault
and Miss Mary Louise Nelson,
who seemed to know our every
want in advance.
Dinner being over our regular
annual business meeting was
called. Comrade Thos. p. Bu-
ford was elected chairman of the
meeting. The minutes OF the
last meeting were read and ap-
proved. 1t was very much re-
GREETED that there were only five
members present. The sad fact
that two vi our most beloved
comrades had passed to the great
beyond, no more to answer roll
call here below, was much de-
I plored. Thos p. Buford was
appointed a committee of one to
draft resolutions expressing our
sincere regret in the death OF
these noble, brave heroes of the
Lost Cause, to be sent to the
county papers with the request
to be published. There were no
communications from the absent
members. IL was a source of re.
.,ret that the members of the as
ISOLATION do not take more inter-
est in our reunions, and that only
i've were present. But we cher
ish the hope that many more will
be present at our next meeting,

The thanks of the association
we're extended to Capt. and Mrs.

who were so attentive to our
every want.
