Game of Foot Ball.

From the New York World.
From the foot ball review of a weekly
cotemporary we learn that a certain
Yale player is lone Of the greatest dag
nosticians who ever stepped on the grid
iron," that a Harvard player is IAN op-
portunist il ever there was one." with
'the great gift Of consistency besides;
and that other players possess the ca
pacity for Leadership. which is one of
the keystones of the game. together with
considerable additional information about

standpoints, titular positions, etc.
1t might be government, but 1t is only
foot ball with a vocabulary adapted to
the new needs of college sport. An op-
portunist, it appears from the context. is
a player skilled in matching up a loose
ball for touchdown" and doubtless
there are other players who are progress
sives or reactionaries, according to the
campus point of view. And presumably,
also, an eleven containing a great dag
nostician has q corps Of specialists and
full complement Of post-mortem experts.
But to such heights OF dignity has foot
ball description risen. as BELTS the SUBJ
entiates 1t more and more from foot BAH
reporting, and for the college sport pro-
vides the proper academic lingo. Base
ball may have its pinch hitters, spit
ters," binglers and all, but for the great
heroes of the gridiron there should be an
Olympian language such as is apparently
in course Of development.

Swindling Thrift and Need.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New YORK Tribune.
Real estate swindles such as that which
has Just been imputed TO concern in
Westchester county are not uncommon.
Only a few weeks ago another of much
greater extent was exposed In New Jer-
sey, and still others are fresh I'm men,
ory. They vary IN the details OF their
rascality, but all have the same motive.
And that motive Is one of the meanest
and most contemplate in the whole range
of crime. The victims of these land
sharks are usually people Of moderate
or even scanty means, but of saving dis
position, who have a praiseworthy am
bition to own their own homes. The
offer of a building lot at low price
apparently-and on easy terms makes an
ali but irresistible appeal TO them, and
they yield to the tempter. only to find
in the end that the title to the land
is bad, that the lot is worthless save as
a frog swamp or that the whole tract
never had any existence save on blue
print map.
Happily, il ought to be more easy 70
convict land swindlers than those en-
gageu in some other nefar Gus schemes.
and when they are convicted, for the
very meanness of their crime, they
should be made TO suffer the full penalty
of the law.

The success of Roland Garros' recent
daring flight across the Mediterranean
sea has caused the postponement of a
play which was shortly to open in one of

of the piece apparently hinged on the i'm
possibility of flying from France to North
Africa, which is now shown to be easy.
The Atlantic ocean, Ii is stated, is to be
substituted for the Mediterranean. but

AS soon as a gloveless person enters
