HIS FOOTBALL STORY
BY HAYDEN cARRuTH.

Our rules were few, though they
started out boldly enough under the
head Of Constitution and Bylaws of
the Corncob Club" and began and
ended as follows:
Section First, Article First-It shall
be the duty of each member through
out every session to smoke cob pipe
with due diligence.
Section First, Article Second
Members who do not smoke shall not
be required to smoke"
The parson was the only member
who profited by article second, and
the doctor used to charge him with
quietly electioneering to have it re-
pealed, so that he might return to his
former bad practises, but this was
SANDER on the good man.
Not being burdened with a cob pipe
in a constant state of conflagration the
parson was left with more time for
conversational efforts. We suspected
he sometimes took advantage of our
nicotinized condition to foist tales
upon US containing smaller percent
age Of truth than the state board of
story inspectors would have counte-
nanced; but of this there was no direct
proof. The parson certainly always
had most truthful and benign aspect,
and never more so than one evening,
when, the talk turning on football, he
leaned forward and said:
do you fellows happen to know
that l used to take part In football
games?"
In your clerical capacity, to carry
consolation to the MORALLY wounded,
suppose" returned the Judge.
mo, no." answered the parson, "as
a player. l was on our college team
for three seasons"
you should have gone into the army
instead of the ministry" commented
the major.
you are jealous of football" re-
sumed the parson. After all, it is

rather mild pastime as commonly
played. This recent suggestion that
the players be armed with bayonets
may make it more strenuous, if it is
carried out, which seems improbable.
What l was going to tell you about
was game that / once took part in
when l was on our varsity eleven,
remarkable game ever played. 1t was
fast and exciting game from the first,
and on the whole there was some
pretty rough play, but that is not what
l refer to when / say it was the most
extraordinary game of football ever
witnessed since football was invented"
well, out with it-what made your
game such a rare bird?" asked the
doctor.
I'm good time" returned the parson
with a touch of complacency. "Of
course / really can't say that it was a
unique game-I strongly suspect that
the same thing happens rather fire.
quently in the game, but 1t isn't de-
tected. When a thing isn't discovered
it's just the same as if it didn't happen
in one sense, you know. Well this
game that I'm talking about was be-
tween Tamerlane college, where / was
a student, and the Attila university
players. There has always been, and
is yet, as you know, a strong feeling
of rivalry between these two seats of
learning. 1t happened not SO many
months before that Attila had carried
off the honors In rowing, while Tanner
lane had won at baseball; so we foot
ball players felt, as may say, that 1t
was up to US. That's the right express
sion, is it not?"
Don't try to appear Innocent
heard you use it in sermon the other
day." said the judge.
"That is a base SANDER" returned
the parson. Besides, you haven't
been to church for three months, so
that II had used it you wouldn't have
heard it. Well. the game was fast
right from the start We went at each
other and fought like a wildcat In a
tin oven-as some Boston author said.
The local authorities had been warned.
and made provisions for it by keep
ing their policemen away from the
grounds so they wouldn't get hurt, and
sending all the doctors, surgeons,
nurses, ambulances and other allevi-
ating and repairing apparatus to the
field early The combat was something
terrific, but through it all these fear

en-. As soon as player was incapable
of movement he was carried away on
q stretcher and substitute took his
place. A well-equipped field hospital
had been established under the grand
stand, where restoratives were admin
istered and minor operations per-
formed. A line of fast ambulances
hurried the more seriously injured to
the city hospitals.
AS the game progressed its fury in
creased. Players, integral and frac-
tional, were flying in the air every
where. The umpire and referee retired
to a safe distance and conveyed their
instructions through giant mega
phones. The spectators stood in the
grand stand and fairly howled, though
little of the strife was visible to them
owing to the fog of torn clothes and
uprooted soil which hung over the
scene, not to mention players, or parts
of players, which ever and anon were
thrown up from the seething mael-
strom below. Once flying Tamerlane
player, hurled through the air by two
Attilas, struck a Red Cross nurse and
from the field by brother worker.
Again, an Attila player was tossed to
the top Of the grand stand, where he
chung to the ridge pole and yelled for
his side, while substitute rushed to
take his place. The combat deepens!

jor, rather firmly, you're getting too
excited. Calm down-you'n be tack

you are telling us Of nothing but

unique uniqueness you boasted about?"
you may interrupt me If you
choose, but you shan't stop me-" said
the parson, with trace of indignation.
See, the combat deepens! It-well,
no matter. 1t was a wonderful game.
And here Is what made it unique so far
as known. All tie way through we
players felt that something was lack
ing-that somethirg somewhere, was
wrong. Afterwa-l5 we learned that
the spectators had the same feeling.
But no one on the gridiron or in the
grand stand could say what it was. At
last the game ended. All had been re-
moved except the two captains. was
one of them. We lay stretched on the
plain near the middle of the field, of
course, unable to rise. We heard the
ambulance coming to bear us away,
the captain of the Attilas raised his
head with difficulty and whispered
hoarsely:
Hello, old man, great game.

Wonderful replied. Still, there
was something lacking

But there was something wrong just

"And it was fact, and this is what
rendered the game SO remarkable,
