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 10 kick II.
Seventy years ago the first footoall
game at Harvard was played on the
Delta. small triangular piece OF
ground The contest was between all
the members Of the two lower classes
and proved not so much football game
as fight When. in 1860. the faculty
forbade that sort of contest. the stu
dents had a solemn burial service over
inc football; over the grave they erect
ed a tablet that bore the following in
scription:

The Candins had forgotten to bring
the oval pigskin football that is used
in Rugby. and that first game OF Rugby
in America was played with an ihols
rubber football. Perhaps that accounted
for the fact that the pupils were apIe
to defeat the teachers.
All Harvard took interest In the ne"
game. Football enthusiasts quickly re;

Charles J. Allen. secretary of the
State Tenement House Cosnrnfssion.
was q speaker at the quarterly meet
ing Of the New Jersey Society OF Saai-
tary Engineering held in Paterson
Saturday.
Mr. Allen reviewed the history of
the department since its organization
in 1904 With the aid of stereopticon
views he showed graphically the
frightful conditions which had exist
ed In tenement houses throughout the
State and pointed out the improve
rhents which have since been made by
the department.
The photographs were taken by
tenement house inspectors during in
vestigations.
Many times we have had to 60 to
court to prosecute dilatory house
owners" said Mr.. Allen, "and the
photos have been big help in prov
ing our cases. They make very potent
witnesses"
The speaker declared that the an
nnal report of the commission, which
will be completed in a few weeks,
will show that the past year has been
a record one in the removal of old
building violations. In 1914 therewere
51,04s violations removed, an increase
of $4,000 over the previous year, The
report for the present year will show
like increase, Mr.. Allen stated.

"Poised upon the wheel of progress,
Newark displays the symbols of her

center is symbolized by the caduceus.
Her magnificent equipment of schools
and libraries is symbolized by the

ment in the field of Industrial science
is symbolized by the retort and book,
suggesting the acquisition of scientific
knowledge through experimentation
and from the printed page. At her
side is suspended the seal of the city.

celebration in the form of pageantry
to be enjoyed by all alike, asked
myself the question, why make a
poster that is simply going to appeal
to the business MANI" So did not
do it. To me the fantastic. imaQina-
tive thing Is always much more
pleasure to do than the realistic.
Naturally the ship represents the be-
ginning of Newark and the fig
ures in the foreground the celebration
in the form of carnival.
Il lay stress on the fact that T
mean this poster to appeal simply to
the pleasure Of the anniversary. II
should, therefore, interest both men
and women and draw people to the
city, first with the idea that thew are
TO enjoy themselves (Which thev
