Liberal Supply Of carameis Necessary
to Make Horse Pooe for Statue
Of Lafayette.

Horses can be temperamental at
times. as Paul w. Bartlett the sculp-
tor. found when he sought to induce
high spirited animal to pose quietly
in his West Fourth street studio. the
New York Evening Sun says. The
sculptor is now working on the statue
of Lafayette, which is to be presented
to the city of Metz in France by the
Knights of Columbus.
An aristocratic as well as an artis-
tic horse was needed for reproduction
as Lafayette's mount. After some
searching. Mr.. Bartlett got in touch
with the proper animal and invited
him down to the studio. Part of the
door and side of the building were re-
moved to get the horse into the
studio and when inside he promptly
knocked over several plaster casts Of
considerable value, especially to the
artist
After a preliminary experiment Mr..
Bartlett was delighted to find that un-
der the soothing spell Of the caramel
the wonderfully lined animal would
stand contentedly chewing for long
periods while the willy sculptor trans
formed him into statue. 80 to speak

Modern football with its open run

have complex plays. An eleven with
well-rOunded- Offense will probably
have 80 plays. My championship
Princeton team had 20 plays. Players
today have much more to do with the
addition of open play and forward
passing. The stars are of the smaller
type, but speedier and more versatile

i'm the shirt pocket of Il. L.
Barry, who was standing be-

resulted over the manner of

members in the group proposed
that they lay Barry down with
his head toward the. hole and
let the owner play his bail out

Barry couldn't see the wisdom
of this proposal from any angle.

that he had no extra ribs to
