Ceremonies Simple and Impressive.
Both Of the ceremonies proper were
conducted in a severely simple but
most impressive manner. The sur
roundings of the scene of the presi-
dents induction into Office, however,
were not so simple, for it was an out.
of-door event and the great gathering
OF military, naval and uniformed civil
organizations gave much more than a
touch Of splendor to the scene.
In the senate chamber, where the
the oath was taken by the man now
vice-president of the United States,
there were gathered about 1000
people, all that the upper house will
contain without the risk Of danger
because Of the rush and press Of the
multitudes. 1t is probable that no
where else in the United States at
any time are there gathered an equal
number OF men and women whose
names are SO widely known. The
gathering in the senate chamber and

properly to do Is to hustle
down the field under punts and tackle

This Is very important depart
ment OF the gridiron game and one
that takes q great deal of time and
practice In order to attain proficiency.
The ends are the ones who are de-
pended upon most for getting down
field and taCkling the receiver. They
should be fast men and good, sure
taCklers. As soon as the signal for q
punt is given the endmen should leave
the rest of the rush line and go well
out toward the boundary lines. The
idea is to go down the sides of the
field and thus outtiauk the catcher
The ends start. down the instant
the ball is snapped, and they should
run at top speed nearly all the way.
They should not look back to see
where the bah Is going, except very
