From Foul Line
To Pit
Harvard Is Opposed
To Numbering Players

BOSTON. Dec. 2o.-while not Official
ly announced, It is stated on good
authority that Harvard will oppose
numbering it's football players, and that
while there is no objection to other COLI
leEes numbering their gridiron warriors.
Harvard feels that its system would be
affected adversely somewhat we're IL to
pin number on each member"
The numbering of the players will be
one of the vital questions to be dis
cussed at the winter meetings of the
rule solons, and II the question * put
up TO the Crimson representatives II
will be answered In the negative.
One OF the Harvard players. in dis
GUESSING the proposition, said that as
Haughton had perfected a number of
bewildering plays, II was 10 the interest
of the team to do ell that is possible
to render them as confusing as possible.
Continuing, he said:
There may De many reasons given
why Harvard is opposed to numbering
Its players. But after all is said IL
comes down to this: AS long az Har-
ward players ire unnunnbered opposing
teams find II difficult to tell Just what
Harvard Is doing and how II is done.
With Harvard numbered, the stiffness
and deception of It's play would be more
like an open book. You can't expect
Harvard to agree to a rule that will
deprive Harvard OF the thoroughly legi-
mate advantage of superior organiZa-
tiOn."

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
PLAYED IN 1900
Rugby Game introduced at
Contests Between Harvard
and McGiII.

Football was played in American col
leges as early as 1900. says The Youths
Companion" The teams we're made up
from all the students who happened to
be on hand. The Object of each side
was to drive the ball across given
line. The players could not carry the
ball in their hands. but had to kick It.
Seventy years ago the first football
game at Harvard was played on the
Delta, a small triangular piece OF
ground. The contest was between all
the members of the two lower classes
and proved not so much a football game
as a fight. When, in 1860. the faculty
forbade that sort of contest. the stu
dents had a solemn burial service over
the football; over the grave they erect
ed a tablet that bore the following in
scription:
Hic facet.

In the spring OF 1874 the students at

ward University a game OF Rugby FOOT
The Candins had forgotten to bring
the oval pigslxin football that is used
in Rugby, and that first game OF Rugby
in America was played with an India
rubber football. Perhaps that accounted
for the fact that the pupils were able
to defeat the teachers.
All Harvard took interest In the new
game. Football enthusiasts quickly re,
allied that the old American game did
not have the possibilities for develop
ment that Rugby had. During the
spring and fall the Harvard team prac-
ticed diligently, and in October went to
Montreal to play a return game with
McGIl, Posters and window cards ad-
VertIsed the game throughout the city
and a crowd of 1000 spectators was at
tracted to the field.
The McGill players wore red and black
striped jerseys, stockings and white
knickerbockers: the Harvard players
wore magenta handkerchiefs and ler-
seys and old tweed trousers. Neither
team had any protective padding.
The Boston Advertiser of October
s5, 1874, gives the following account OF
'The game was called at $3.50, and al
& Harvard was declared the winner
having secured three touchdowns. in
response to the tiger of the McGills
the Harvard 'rahs' were delivered with
a vim, and every stranger on the field
seemed much astonished at the style
of the cheer many being disposed ia
think It a joke. The small boys yelled
for another, and a second was given
for the umpire. The Victoria Band
then managed to get through Yankee
Doodle quite respectfully"

bowling implements are paying men
large salaries to experiment and test
tenpins made OF all sorts of compost
lions. So far nothing has beeen found
to take the place OF the maple
Jack Beresford recently patented a
tenpin with a metal casing. But the
pin does not satisfy him. Pins made Of
paper mache have been tried. and at
present the Brunswick Balke-C ollender
people are working on this kind of a pin.
But nothing has been found to supplant
the maple; which has the life" OF the
maple. Metal adds too much to the
weight OF the pin. which is supposed to
tip the scales at 2 pounds Q ounces.
Also the metal case becomes dented
just as the wooden pin, unless It is
very hard. and hard metal is too heavy.
Metal bottoms for pins, to prevent them
from becoming "wabbly," have been
tried. but have not been found perfect.
Bowling balls made from a compost
ton called "mineralite" have been
changing in price every few weeks. Five
years ago they cost $40 the ball, then
they went down to N35O,. Up to t,l50.
back to so. down to SIS. down to 3d. so,
and January l the price will move up
to SIS again. Representatives of the
bowling supply companies predict the
price on balls will advance rather than
decline,

maple pin is getting too expensive and
many are trying to find a substitute for
he'lignum vitae. If you have an idea
you can sell II at a high figure by con-
sulting the pin manufacturers.
Alley owners who treat" their alleys
regularly have them planed occasionally
and still know that there Is a groove in
the runways, are trying to devise a
composition alley that will not groove.
The average bowler starts his ball on
the right corner of the alley and
aims 1t at the pocket" so that It will
hit the. one pin and three pin at the
same time. In every alley which has
been used for some time a weli-woru
groove can be noticed starting from
the right-hand eide of the alley and
ending at the pocket" There's for
tune waiting for the inventor of ar
alley that won't groove.
Alley owners know it's coming. They
predict that in twenty-five years the
wooden alley and the maple pin will be
al extinct as the dodo bird, II there are

In billiards the same problem besets
