And We get the double twist;
When Fate, the tickle party, with
a wallop overstrong
Slaps us roughly on the wrist
When We get it in the neckpiece
with a dull and sickly thud,
That we must sit by merrily and

And when we feel like walloYing in
some thick Holsters blood,
Does it mean we must desist,
With the glad occasion missed,
To hold our slip of membership
And stay an optimist?
When in the gray and early dawn
that comes the morning after
From a night of sacrifice.
Are we expected to arise with peals
of merry laughter
As We grapple for the ice?
When the tongue is like a Persian

and you know you're going

With an ever idle pen;
When we are topping mashie shots

Or when we blow five easy puts

Or throw a club or soak a dub
Or something just as terse?

these were men who had never
played before.
But that order is now out OF date.
The forward pass, with its de-
mand upon alertness and skill, has
killed off any sudden manufacture
of talent. The matter of passing a
ball properly forty or fifty yards on
a line and of taking the pass out of
the air at awkward angles is not
acquired in a day.
The Spring Army.
! Springs football army will be the
largest in history. And you can
gamble that one of the hardest
working field generals of the lot
will be Tad Jones, of Yale.
We had an extended talk with
Tad a short while ago. He has no
| alibi, no excuse of any sort, to
offer for last year.
He isn't wasting any surplus time
in trying to place the blame for
Yale's spotty season. In place of
this he has concentrated his entire
attention upon building for the
campaign of 1921.
Tad loses many veterans. But
in the main they were veterans
who had acquired the habit of de-
feat through two years, 1919 and
1920, and n any of them were not
alert enough for the modern game.
With young O'Hearn, his fresh
man star, ready to fill the gap at
quarter, and others who have shown
promise. he intends to make this
springs training count for a lot.
The Yale coach knows what he
I 10 Wi hn ioI
that Princeton and Harvard will re-
turn. especially Princeton. 81.
Tiger Town will have fine ma
terial handled by fine coach and
fine trainer. and fine material plus
means triple armor plate to break
through. So Tad isn't returning
to land upon any soft spot Not
just so as you might notice 1t.
The main point Is that he knows
what he is up against. and yet he
isn't discouraged in the least. Which
is something.
The New Order.
We have an idea that Jones in
tends to start a new football order
at New Haven.
1t has been a long time since
Yale has had Sa modern machine, a
machine that was adept at the
passing. kicking and broken field
running game.
Mahans and Caseys and Louries
are not picked up every year, but
Yale is about due to gather one IN.
And most of the rest OF It can be
developed.

To thoroughly know the virtues of
medicine you must investigate its
work. Doan's Kidney Pills stand this
test, and plenty Of proof exists right
here in Maysville. People who testi-
fled years ago to relief from backache,
kidney and urinary disorders, now
give confirmed testimony-declare the
results have lasted. How can any
Maysville sufferer longer doubt the
evidence?
Mrs. w. A. Schatzmann, COS East
Second street, Maysville, gave the fol-
lowing statement November Is, 1916:
From the benefit have derived from
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills | have
every reason to recommend them to
anyone. Whenever my kidneys have
been irregular in action or have suf-
fered with a weakness or lameness
through the small of my back | have
used a box or so Of Doan's and they
have always proven sufficient to cure
the complaint quickly"
On November %, 1920, Mrs. Schatz-
mann said: "Doans Kidney Pills GER

fore when publicly endorsed them in
