GRID TEAMS USE MASS PLAY
New Style of Attack Has Been Legal
ICED by Rules committee-TackIino
From Behind Prohibited.

The mass play devised by George
Foster Sanford, the Rutgers college
coach, may be adopted by eleveps of
other colleges as a result of the an
nouncement that the new style Of at
tack has been legalized by the football
rules committee. The play consists of
the alignment of three of the four
backs Immediately behind three I'D
joining players on the forward line.
It was used effectively by the Rutgers
eleven and proved. formidable when a
little ground was needed to retain the
ball or when the team was near the
enemy's goal, but In one Instance last
season it was declared illegal.
a, Mr.. Sanford submitted the question
of its legality to the rules committee
and obtained decision that the play
was legitimate provided no part of the
bodies Of the three players forming the
secondary attacking line was within
one yard Of the line of scrimmage.
: A suggestion by Mr.. Sanford that q
rule should be adopted prohibiting the
cutting down of player from behind
was approved by the committee in
formally. He described it as ''the most
dastardly play in football, ham,
stringing, knee-breaking, face-smash-
Ing play that allows man on one
side to injure member of an opposing
eleven"

DEATH AND MADAM eoTTFRIEn

n NE fine day in 1925, Herr Rumf, a
" respectable. and prosperous wheel
wright of Bremen, felt much like dane
Ing and singing. He had become the
owner of large handsome house. in
the PelzerstrasSe at an absurdly low
price. The owner and occupant Of the
house, Madam Gottfried, had fallen
into financial difficulties some time pre-
viously, and had mortgaged the prop
erty. The mortgage fell due, and she
had no money for the occasion, so the
man who held the instrument fore
closed and offered the place for sale.
Herr Rumf made ridiculously low
bid and it was accepted at once.
So this merry wheelwright felt that
the occasion needed celebration, and
he went to his favorite gasthaus and
invited everybody to have something.
He told the good news, and was sur!
prised and grieve5 because nobody con-
graduated him. His cronies shook
their heads and seemed to pity him.
Herr Kaufman, the attorney, finally
tndulged in plain speech.
"You have been SO busy these many
years." said he, "that you don't know
what's been happening around you.
The house you have bought is house
Of death. The undertaken is the most
frequent guest. Madam Gottfried has

GOLF QUITE POPULAR SPORT
Becoming Close Competitor With
Baseball for Title Of National
Game-Has Firm Hold.

It is an indication of hopeless pro-
vincialism for anybody to deride the
game of golf nowadays. This sport
has taken such firm hold upon all
classes of people, it has become SO
universal and its popularity is SO per-
manently founded that the jibes and
wheezes of dull wits no longer have
any force. Only the hopelessly igno-
rant now characterize it af sissy" II
is, in fact, full-blooded, strong-bodied
and absorbing sport that demands the
best brain and muscle that can be put
into 1t. Golf Is really becoming a close
competitor with baseball for the title
of the national game.-,Kansas City

Injured Man Gets Lump Benefit.

The industrial commission has de-
cided to give William J. Conway, in
jured at the Portland mine, the great
er part of his injury pension in one
SUM. Conway told the commission
that he has family dependent upon
him, and that if he could get money
enough to set up a small dairy he
would be Independent of further aid.
The commission thereupon decided to
pay at once the $500 that he would
otherwise receive in weekly INSTALL

Prohibition label" Clause Void.

The section of the Colorado prohibit
tion law which provides that ship
ments of liquor in this state are seiz-
able unless they are plainly marked,
This package contains intoxicating
liquor" is declared void in an opinion
handed down by Judge R. E. Lewis
of the Federal Court. Assumption of
authority already preempted by the
federal government is the basis for
the decision: The opinion calls atten-
tion to the fact that there is now a
federal statute regulating interstate
shipments of liquor to which is at

Herr Rumf Laughed at Such a story.

live in that house, at least see that
Madam Gottfried moves out. She may
be good woman in her intentions and
in her life, but she is accursed."
Herr Rumf laughed at such story.
He was hard-headed, practical man,
and didn't believe In the evil eye, or in
accursed houses. So he took possess
sion Of the house, he and his family oc-
cupying the two lower floors, and Mad,
am Gottfried moving upstairs. She
made a pathetic plea to be allowed to
remain. She was a sad. lone woman,
the victim of unparalleled misfor-
tunes. In brief time she had lost her
father and mother, her brother, three
children, and had been twice widowed.
The story of her troubles made such an
impression upon Herr Rumf that he let
her remain, and made his terms re-
markably liberal.
She was q fine buxom woman, Of
gracious manners. and possessing q
sad, sweet smile that melted the hearts
of men. Her hair was brown, and
her complexion marvellous. Her teeth
were snowy, set rather far apart and
pointed. Had a modern criminologist
noted her teeth, he might have been
impervious to the appeal Of her eyes.
Her upstair rooms were handsomely
furnished, and she had fine library,
chiefly of religious books, which she
spent much time reading. Her piety.
while not obstrusive. always attracted
attention.
In a few weeks Madam Gottfried
was practically a member Of the Rumf
family. She spent most Of her time

Denver.-M. P. Capp, who has been

came up on a quo warranto proceed

Capp was ordered from the place
after the governor had held hearing
on certain charges made against the

Remnants of the cave men living in
hidden places in the forests, avoiding
the more civilized human beings about
them, but seen occasionally by these,
were probably the first of the fairies,
according to A. E. Peake in a paper
that appears In the report of the Pre-
historic Society Of East Anglia.
Long before the Danes came to the
British isles Ireland was infested by
a people called the Danaans, probably
the earliest of the Celts or possibly
antedating them. The word Danaan,
according to Che London Lancet, may
be rendered fairy" They were Of
puny stature, but their heads were as
large as ours, as is proved by the
skulls found in the boys. With their
little pointed caps and their retiring
ways they were only vaguely known
to their neighbors, and when they died
out they were dimly remembered and
soon became a legend.

contest was an interesting one. SUI
perior won first place. Their orator,
Joseph Duff. spoke on "Pan-Ger-
manisn, a Menace" Isadore Diner
stein of Milwaukee was second with
"The Unhappy Americans" and
Martin Paulsen of Stevens Point
was third with THE Maintenance of
Americas leadership" Our local
orator, Laurence Thomson, who was
i'll up to the very day he left for Su-
perior, put up valient fight against
big odds. Enduring the strain Of a
long ride the same day, having only
few moments rest before the con-
test, and being affected with sore
throat he spoke so that those who,
from River Falls, heard him speak,
felt that although securing only
sixth place, he deserves fully as
much credit as the man who won
first place. It goes to show the stuff
of which our Normal boys are made.
Much credit is due Superior for the
splendid time shown the visitors and
the successful manner in which they
managed the contest. Miss Jane

ative by the school and Sidney Hal
version was sent up by the Junior

the game began it was evident that
both teams were fighting with a
grim determination to win. This
made the game exciting from the
start. The Sophomores were the
first to score, and soon followed with
another field goal, giving them a
lead Of four points. The score at
the end Of the first half was 8 to 6
in favor of the Sophomores. At this
stage Of the game the Sophomores
seemed confident of winning, but
the Junior team came back in the
second half stronger than ever. They
soon scored a field goal, which tied
the score. The class spirit was at it's
highest at this time, everyone cheer

steady playing the Junior team soon
forged ahead and kept the lead till
the whistle blew. The final score
was II to in favor of the Juniors.
