TElIPERATURE wind and rain
have a rather different effect on
football from the influence they
exert on the national pastime. The
size Of the bali that is used in play Is
one reason for this very great diff
ference. But the comfort Of the
spectators seems TO be the last con-
sideration in football. It may be
pouring torrents or there may be a
binding snow, but a gridlr0n match
is played as scheduled The only
thing that win suffice TO postpone
a football game, that I can think OF
offhand, is a deep covering Of snow
on the gridiron- But that Is some
thing that affects the players and
not the audience.
