The Corsets of the Ancient Cretans.

FROM the New York World.
Announcement that the excavations
in Crete for the University of Pennsyl-
vania have brought to light fragments
of an ancient civilization which show
that women of that island wore corsets
and hobble-skirts 5000 years ago is in
teresting as matter of archaeology
but it is nothing new. In fact, it has
been developed long since that even
in the classic times of Greece the
graceful garment shown in statuary
and painting was conventionality of
art rather than Il fashion of the time
Woman. 1t seems, has ever delighted in
styles that change with the seasons
and with the years, but return again
in cycles that appear to have had no
beginning and to approach no end She
and her clothing are the joint symbols
of the truth that nothing is SO immu-
table as mutability.
1t is questionable. however, whether
the women or the youth of the world
ever subordinated their own tastes to
the whms and absurdities of foreign
fashion makers. Was it ever the vogue
in Crete to wear the styles of Babylon
or of Thebes? AS some bold hearts are
striving in this county to develop an
American fashion opposed to that OF
Paris, that is the question American
psychologists should strive to solve
Conceding that Cretan ruins bear wit
ness to the durability of the corset,
NAV they not also give encouragement
to the hope that 1T was not always
worn as a straight front?

rival. more than once but a week or two
ago it looked as though everything was
all set for the staging of their bout in
New York, when all of a sudden came the
announcement that Packey had called the
match off because he received a straight
offer of $4,000 for his end to meet Freddy
Welsh i'm England. 1t might be mention
ed that Packey had been matched to
meet Britton at 13J pounds at O'Clock.
When the news came that he had called
the match there was a great howl from
the camp of Dan Morgan, and the wires
were made busy. Now comes the an
nouncement that the match is on again,
but it will be noticed that Packey is get
ting his price. and also that the weight
has been changed this time to 1856 at 6
O clock. which means considerable to the
Chicago pride. And speaking of being
foxy recalls Packey's first match in Mil
waukee. as an amateur although he was
no more amateur than Jim Thorpe was
when he won the all-around athletic COM
petition at Stockholm. Packey was
matched to meet young amateur boxer
at the Milwaukee Athletic Club, and he
was entered under the name of Carl
was pretty bout to watch but then
Packey began to toy with his opponent,
and it looked TO be all off
But Packey gave the fellow a chance
again and they mixed. Then all of a
sudden Packey staggered against the
ropes ard pretended he was "all in The
amateur rushed over toward Packey wide
open for any kind of a swing, and he got
it. The Chicago pride simply cut loose
with right and left, the other being off
guard completely, and down went the
amateur. Packey received watch or
medal. and probably few dollars on the
side, but he never said u word about it
until some months afterward, when he
was matched in the beer city for a real
contest. 1t was then that some of the
boys discovered that Carl E.mmick was
none other than Packey Mcfarland And
don't overlook the fact that the same
Packey is also game and carries good
noodle on his shoulders. When Ray Bron-
son. the indianapolis champion. fought
Packey at New Orleans three years ago,
he worked kind of pivot blow on
Packey, and put him down for the count
OF nine and nearly out. That was where
Packey showed his ring generalship and
gameness. He stalled through for ten
rounds, kept on the defensive entirely,
being really in trance during that time
It was the eleventh round when he be-
gan to get his bearings again, and as the
fight progressed he improved, and toward
the twentieth round he gave as good as
he received, earning a draw. 1t was an
uphill fight and showed the true caliber
of the boy.

TWO CHANGES MADE
Foot Ball Rules Left Almost
as They Were.
TO ALLOW SUMMER BALL
Oklahoma Colleges Will Permit
Their Students to Play the Pro-
fessional Game.
BY EDWARD r. BUSHNELL.

The determination Of the intercollegiate
foot ball rules committee to give every
change in the playing code two years in
which to make good was responsible for
the failure Of the committee to make any
important changes at its annual meet
ing last week So anxious were the MEM
bers of the committee to give the rules
the rest cure that even the very sensi-
BILE suggestion of numbering the players
was not acted upon, but left to the dis
erection of the opposing teams themselves
without even recommendation.
The most important amendment made
to the rules was that removing the -
yard restriction from the kick This
puts the kicking game back almost
where it was before the introduction of
the forward pass. Before that play came
into existence it was legal to punt from
any point back of the line of scrimma ge
But the rules were quickly amended SO
that a kick could not be made except
from a point ) yards back Of the line
of scrimmage. That, of course did away
with the quick kicks and made it i'm
possible for a team to punt without ad-
vertising the fact.
The only other important change was
that by which a player who had once
been taken out of the game may be re-
turned at the beginning of q SUBSEQUENT
period or at any time during the fourth
period 1t is open to question whether or
not this last change is wise When foot
ball was first introduced player once
removed could not return to the game
under any conditions. The rule per
hitting man to return to the game was
passed for the purpose Of preventing
injuries to players. and particularly to
enable man to leave the game when
physically worn out. Before the ADOPTION
of this rule players were frequently kept
in the game when they should have been
on the side lines. because not being able
to return after having once left the grid
iron they risked serious injury rather
than weaken their team.
It was rather surprising that the COM
mittee voted to give teams any further
privileges under this rule because IT ha $
long been felt that the passage of the
rule was a mistake. While the rule nm
doubtedly performed the services for
which it was intended. it likewise opened
the way for further abuses. 1t was GER
tainly never the intention of the rule
makers that a man should be kept on
the side lines. and rush back and forth
into the game for the sole purpose of
kicking goals from the field The rrI..
has been utilized for this sole purpose
more than anything else. and the latest
amendment is Il further inducement 10

Wss that he lived IN this large
house all by himself, and no one
really liked him because he talk

talks too much, not half of what

When this man went down to
the village, he would tell every
body what he could do and what
he was going to do, until every
body began calling him, Practice

He grew tired Of being called
this, SO he went to a man and
