Rating Football Teams.
The only college or university
teams that should be rated in Group
A are those that have the one-year
rule.
Group should be given over to
those who play first-year men. 1t
is hardly fair to rate elevens upon
an even basis, where one institution
has a distinct advantage over an
other.
And such a policy of general pub
licity would have a strong tendency
to bring every university into the
one-year fold.
This matter of having a student
registered at college for a year be-
fore he is eligible for a varsity team
is one of the best regulations ever
devised.
Most of the. commercialized play
erS only seek out those institutions
that permit them to get into action
at once.
The thought of a year lost to the
limelight Is repugnant to their
souls So this rule should be made
effective in every university that
sends out a football team.

Christmas Greetings

Now were not flush with jingling dough which some folks about;
 And jingle pennies to and fro and wear our pockets out
 Neither have we treasures hid, as we've been told in story;
 Were laid up by old Capitan Kidd who has now gone to his glory.
 We cannot send you pretty toys like Santas fond of sending;
 To give to all the girls and boys each Christmas CT ending.
 We cannot sing the latest song orplay upon the flute;
 Nor can we entertain the throng with music from the lute.
 But say the things feel and feel the things you say; mas-day.
 The folks at home are dear to us there no to doubt
 But they all live so near to us they seldom find it out.
 And for that reason us say and our hearts go with the sending es
 Peace to all this Christmas-day with pleasures never ending.

When we re ceive gift nicely wrapped with tis- sue paper and decorated with pretty Christmas seals, there is an added pleasure. This is especially so when we realize that the sender has spent time and cleverness to give this little touch of personal thoughffulness.
 Many varieties of Christmas seals may be purchased, but a little original ity will not come amiss even in these small details
 There are seals for the outside package and the heading to be used on the note paper, conveying the good wishes of the giver. or on the little card of greeting. These two in each set match. This gives another touch of the unusual, which is always sought after.
 Have a piece of carbon paper. place 1t over the note paper, card or seal. and on top of this one of the designs Carefully trace with a sharp pencil the entire outline. An exact duplicate of the design will be found on the note paper or seal ready for tinting. This may be easily done with water colors or wax crayons- Poinsettia should be colored a warm, bright red with yellow centefs and dark green stems.
