SUMPTUARY LAWS


SUMPTUARY LAWS, laws designed TO suppress
extravaganza In dress eating exist the statute
books OF practically every nation on earth EXCEPT
the United States.
BACK IN 212 r. G.. or Whereabouts we have n law
drawn up to suppress female extravaganza In dress
and jewelry.
LAWS OF A SIMILAR NATURE existed in France
down to the reign of LOUIS XIV.
ENGLAND ENACTED VARIOUS sumptuary laws
that not repealed until about the year 1855 when
they were removed from the law books
THESE LAWS NEVER FOUND PUBLIC FAVOR
and OF interest today mainly because light
they throw upon the laws and customs Of the
ancients.
SUCH WAS LIFE.

NORRETOWN FIVE
TOPLAY TONIGHT.
Independents Not Sure of Vic
tory Against This Strong
Combination

Members of the Independent
basketball team are not overly outi-
mistic concerning their chances
against the Norristown squad to-
night. While they are of the opin-
ion that the chances VIII be about
even for victory, they are of the be-
lief that it is going to mean u hard
fight for the honors.
If the Norristown players are in
good condition there is no doubt but
that the locals will be given very
hard run. The contest is to be play
ed on the Chestnut street hall floor,
starting at S.15 o'clock.
Local Lineup Intact
Manager Ford announced this
morning that the lineup of the Inde-
pendent team would be the same as
that which figured in the contest
with the Garnet Five on Thanksgiv-
ing Day night. Wallower and Nc
Cord will be in the forward po-
sitions; Moorehead at center and
Gerdes and Ford at guard, with
Klein and Cough as substitutes
The lineup of the Norristown
squad has not been announced by
its management, hut il Is understood
to include the two former Eastern
League 'asars, Franckle and Van
Austin, Its record so far this season
is authority for the statements con-
cerning the ability of the combina-
ton.

Three Penn Stars Are
No Longer Eligible
For Varsity Contests

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. %. - Heinie
Miller. Lou Little and Ben Derr, OF
this years Penn eleven. have agreed
to play professional football with the
Massilon (Ohio) Tiger team, start
ing to-day and continuing for the
rest of the pro" season, IT was re-
ported yesterday
Iud Wray and Hobey Light also
received offers to play pro football,
it was rumored, but they have not
accepted.
Wray's father is dead set against
his son receiving pay for his athle-
tic efforts and Light is anxious TO
graduate in dentistry.
Derr was barred from playing in
the Penn-Cornell game because or
charges that he played with pro-
fessional team at Akron, Ohio last
sunday. He and Little are not eX-
pected to remain in college and MIL
ler also may drop out.
Although the Penn athletic au-
thorities are not favorably inclined
towards the intended move of Miller,
Little and Derr. they are powerless
to prevent il, under the present eligi-
bilfty rules. OF course, the trio of
gridiron stars will never more be al
lowed to represent Penn in an ath-
letic contest but their athletic ca
reers really ended with the Penn
Cornell game for proficiency in ath-
letics was limited to the gridiron
sport.
Light. on the other hand is a good
baseball player and so is Lud Wray.
Both may get into this sport in the
spring IL they preserve their amateur
status.

GRID VICTIMS
SHOW DECREASE
Five Fatalities During Season
Just Closed; Majority
in the Wesi

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Footbal
claimed five victims during the 1919
season, which pract cally closed with
Thanksgiving Day games, according
to reports to the Associated Press
to-day. The number of deuths-the
lowest in ycars-was five less than
in 1918 and seven under the toll OF
two years ago. Eighteen lives were
lost during the 1916 season, and
sixteen in 1915.
Development of the open style of
play to Supplant the smashing game
is mainly responsible for the de-
creasing number of fatalities in the
opinion of gridiron experts. The dam
gers of a dozen years, when the old
style smashing game included hurd-
ling, lying tackles and vicious Of
fensiVe tactics have been almost
entirely eliminated in the new style
OF Football with n corresponding de,
crease in the number of deaths.
Virtually all the victims of the
1919 season were players not par
ticipating in games conducted under
strict physical requirements. De-
tenders of the popular college sport
pointed out that, with one exception,
the victims were high school players
who entered the games without ex-
pert training.
The small number of fatalities this
season was declared to be remark
able the experts said, as the game
was played more extensively than
ever before pre-war days The list
of victims follow:
Paul Johnson. Wayzata, Mimi, 10
years old, died November 81 from
concussion of the brain after being
tackled in a high school game.

/ blew. Camp Curtin was going strong
and looked sure for another touch
down. But the Blue and White were
satisfied with the six points of the
fiIst quarter that brought victory.
Two Big Stars
| Victory was mace possible by the
great work Of Wilsbach and Bricker.
! Camp Curtin eleven lined up on fake
kick formation similar to the one
that Tech viii use against Erie to-
/ day. Instead of kicking, Bricker
swept around the Edison right end
! foI gains of 10 to Is yards. Crown
shield and Williams showed lots OF
speed in hitting the line. while the 40
yard run OF Williams was the pret-
| test play of the game.
In the Edison backield Nye and
Johnson were the stars. In the Sec
ond quarter johnson made practically
all the gains and was credited with
most OF the tackles on the defense.
l" the third quarter Nye took the lead
with his slashing off-tackle runs that
brought the ball to the Camp Curtin
l3-yard line. That was the closest
the losers came to score.
The ends on both teams played best
when there was n punt. Scarcely
once did the receiver of the punt
have a chance To move out of his
McLinn, Kelley or Barringer threw
the player making the catch of punt.
Penalties Came
Camp Curtin was penalized more
severely than its opponent. the chief
ofrense being holding and ofr-side
Camp Curtin had the better team by
slight margin, and the one touch
down that won the victory about
compares the relative strength of the
two elevens. 1t was great contest,
the only objection being that il was
played at time when more of the
parents could not see the battle.
An effort will be made next year to
have the game played on n Saturday
afternoon prior to Thanksgiving. 1t
was a mere taste OF what is to follow.
Such spirit As was seen on the Island
yesterday is the very quintessence of
success that has spelled victory with
