The extent to which the carrying

speed was the subject of an interest,"
ing discussion at a recent meeting of
gridiron veterans. 1t was pointed out
that almost without exception in a
long sprint down field after picking
up fumbled bald, the runner is gain
ed upon by pursuing players although
not always overtaken, due to an adj
vantage at the start. It was the gem
eral opinion that any given player
could sprint the 100 yards OF the
football field from second to sec
Nond and half faster without the
ball than when carrying the leather.
Several coaches who were present
stated that they would experiment
under both conditions next autumn In
order to test. their theories.

to do so for fear Of being accused
OF helping the other teams pennant-

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING.

Long. long ago there lived in Eng
land some people who were called
Puritans. The King said for all OF the
people to come 10 his church These
people did not want to come, SO he
made some prisoners and the others he
rescued. SO the people left for iIol-
land. They did not like Holland much
because their children were learning
the Dutch language, and the sons were
joining the army and navy. So they
left for new country. They sent back
to England for a ship and some food
They sailed on IA stormy night. The
wind blew them to 4 place which is
called plymouth Rock" The first
thing they did WAS to pray to God to
thank Him for bringing them across
the sea. About three days later they
began TO build a church and houses
The people were taken sick and about
half of them died The Indians showed
them how TO make the land fertile.
1t WAS to put fish in every hill of
corn. The people invited ninety In
dams to feast They took n whole
week and out OF the week they had
three days TO feast. For their Thanks
giving Day they had Wild turkey, corn
bread pumpkin pies and potatoes SO
that is why we have Thanksgiving
