ON BASIS OF EQUALITY.
Football Rules Fill Gap Between BIC
and Small Colleges.

The unusual strength developed by
the so-called smaller college football
teams of asst season is still subject
Of much discussion by students of the
game. NJ. ]. Thompson, one of the
leading officials and authorities on
football in an analysis Of the situa-
sion states:
There are several very satisfactory
reasons that might be offered to eX-
plain the football equality which at
present exists between the large and
small colleges. The large universities
must by reason of their football policy
retain a conservative style of play.
The smaller colleges on the other hand
more readily adapt themselves to the
changes i'm the rules and are conse-
duently able to offer more surprises in
offensive play than THEN big brothers
can Offset by their more ponderous
team work. Then, too. the small in
stitutions have everything to gain and
nothing to lose by employing these
new tactics.
IF they lose, it is NO disCrCdit to
them, but If they win or even tie,
great Story is theirs, and their vic
tory is nearly always the result of
careful analysis of the new rules and
often their reckless application. Their
style is always characterized by quick
snappy plays, the frequent use of the
forward pass and, when it was legal,
the onsde Kick. The large universe
ties cannot so safely employ these
tactics. They must be conservative,
they can take no chances they must
win as the result Of less brilliant plays
and more faultlcss team work, so when
I'm ordinarily weaker team offers Il
good defense and a bewildering num-
Der of open plays, the rightful victor
must lose"

CALLED IT TOLEDO.
Story Of How an Ohio City Came to
Gets Its Name.

About 100 years ago Il little settle
meni existed at the mouth Of the Maui
NEE river. Its name. Port Lawrence.
was given in honor Of the great naval
commander The little town was not
prosperous. and five years later Major
Suckney. an enthusiastic but eccentric
man, founded another settlement right
next TO Port Lawrence and called his
village Nistula. Both settlements were
stimulated somewhat by the competi-
ton. but neither prospered sufficiently,
and one year later IL was proposed 10
unite the towns.
Everything was easily arranged ex-
cept the name, and hSre trouble arose.
Major Stickney insisted that the new
community accept the name OF his
part. Vistula but the citizens were not
prepared TO have name thrust upon
them by one whose peculiarities led
him TO name his two children mo. l"
and NO ." This fact in the MAJORS
family life was enough TO cause any
scientifically.
The discussions were many and heat
ed when Willard Daniels. a merchant
Of Nistula. suggested that they adopt
the name of Toledo, the ancient capital
Of Spain. He explained that the word
originally was "Toledoth," from the
Hebrew. meaning Mother OF People
and MIR. Daniels said they ought 10 be
able to come together under such n
title of peace. Another reason was the
remarkable ncarncss i'm ATTITUDES OF
both places, in Spain and in Ohio. the
actual difference being only a little
more than one degree Further argu.
ments were that il was pleasant in
sound. easy 20 pronounce and that no
city of the western continent as yet
bore the name.
His reasoning prevailed. and the
united towns assumed the name To-
ledo. That they remained true to it
is shown i'm the fact that their first
permanent newspaper was called the
Toledo Blade. in recognition OF the fact
that Toledo, Sapin, was famed all over
the world for the quality of the sword
blades which it produced. - Ladies'
