There has been an unwarranted
tendency TO underestimate Miss Wylie,
due chiefly to the fact that she has
figured principally as a breast stroke
champion in Australia. but her times
in free style races hardly indicate that
she IS as superior to the home stars
as Miss Durack seems 10 think. She

BerInners, Game.

Not only is the game popular
among civilians. but practically every
French regiment has its soccer team.
One Of the reasons. perhaps the great
reason, for the supremacy Of soccer
over baseball in France is that he
beginner can get a lot more fun out
Of soccer than he can out OF base
ball; ne can make a good stab at
playing the game II only because of
the fact that a Frenchman. in the
way OF sport, has always learned to
use his feet at the expense Of his
hands.
Baseball ability Is an acquired
Instinct In no game does the
tyro appear more foolish or feels

STILL REMEMBERED

THE Carlisle Pa, academy having

there will be no more Indian football

Carlisle played Harvard sequen-
TALLY from 1896 to 1908. but the In
dams only won once, in 1907, score
ever, were close, and all Of them were
spectacular. and well worth the price
OF admission.
FamOus Play.
One OF the incidents OF a Harvard
Indian game, the game OF 1903, has
become immortal Harvard was lead
ing by a comfortable margin, and
the Indians had not scored. OF course.
they were anxious to sting Harvard
with at least one tally. Having Sc
cured the ball on a kick near their
goal line, the Indians lined up. and
then shot a play toward the left wing
Of the Crimson defence. There was
a wild scramble on the part Of the
Harvardians trying to find the man
with the bail. No one seemed TO have
il. Suddenly there was q yell, and
looking up the players saw Charlie
Dillon romping toward the Harvard
goal with a hump on his back. A
fellow player had tucked the ball up
under his Jersey. OF course, he made
his score unmolested. It has been
said that this trick was not original
with the Indians; that il had been
worked several years previously out
west Whether this is so or not. the
Indians viii always be associated with
the play.
The 1897 Indian team was prob
ably the greatest the school ever
produced. II was one OF the
greatest the Eume ever knew.
Every position was occupied by a
specialist.

Surplus Permits
Month S Exemption

Because Of the big surplus which
has been accumulated in the industrial
accident fund, the state industrial ac.
cidcnt commission has declared an ex-
Iemption for the month Of September.
This exemption will relieve employers
and employees from paying any fees or
premiums for next month.
Chairman Beekwith Of the industrial
accident commission estimates that the
exemption will save the employers and
employees about $4,000, aud with the
two previous exemptions which have
been declared this year, one in Febru-
ary and the other in July, a total of
about S150,000 has been saved to the
contributors TO the fund.
AS II has been clearly demonstrated
that the commission Is now self sup
porting, the commission has recon-
mended that state aid be withdrawn
by an amendment to the law to be
passed by the next legislature, The
commission is asking that the state
pay only enough to cover adminstra'
ton expenses.
