Leap Frog? Chic?

And J16n1bLeS SO
Goes to Football Game to See
a Fashion Show and Finds
Damp Spirits.
BY PEGGY" FRESHLEY

Notre Dame did a lot OF funny
things to Kalamazoo yesterday when
they played football out at Cartier
field. The sporting editor asked me
to go out and see the game so l
could tell the girls about It. I don't
know very much about football. but
I went out and let il rain on my new
duvetyn suit while 1 wrote things
down in my notebook. I had just got
nicely settled when a lot of fellows
with round things on their heads and
funny thick shoulders came running
out on the field and everybody yelled.
So l yelled too.
They all lined up and squatted
down like they were going 10 play
leapfrog. I thought that was funny,
because they were all quite big and
ought TO have outgrown leapfrog,
and 1 guess they had because then
they started running down the field.
I decided then that they must be
playing some other kind OF game
like tag, JUST to get hmbered UP.
After that. some Of the boys started
kicking. They kicked real hard, and
then some other boy would catch the
ball and squeeze it in his arms and
throw II back. Then they would kick
again, etc, etc. until a man in white
pants and a white shirt walked out
on the field and waved his arms and
blew a whistle.

That meant that they were ready
10 begin. So they did. There was a
pile of dirt out on the field and after
a boy had yelled for water a man
came running out with a pail. He
. spilled a lot. but they had enough
left to make mud with the dirt. With
the mud they made a little hill and
then they stuck the ball on it.
Then they all lined up again, and
when the whistle blew everybody
started running for all they were
worth and one Of the boys from
/ Kalamazoo kicked the ball. A Notre
/ Dame boy, they said his name was
| Wynne, caught It (and I can tell
you that. even if I don't know any
thing about football, can tell a good
catch when I see One-and that was
a good one) and held 1t on his stom-
/ ach and started running. And he
kept running with all the other boys
| chasing him, but nobody caught him.
| and he ran all the way down the
| field and then laid down on the ball. ]
| admit he must have been pretty
/ tired. but I shouldn't think a foot
ball would be very comfortable TO
/ lay on. He didn't seem TO mind.
/ though, and everybody was cheer
/ ing, so that was all right
The man at the score board put up
a seven after the Notre Dame. and
put a seven down in my notebook
Rather Peevish.
Then they made another hill out
/ Of mud. and this time Notre Dame
kicked the ball Kalamazoo didn't
/ have such good catchers. so they
didn't run very far. The boys all
\ fell down IN a heap. and 7 thought
| they must have stubped their toes
/ although II seemed sort Of queer that
they would all stub their toes a,
once, until they did the very same
thing again.
Then I began 20 get mad. because
had decided that they were just
falling down on each other to stop
the game, and keep the other side
from getting the ball
About that time il began % rain
and I put up the umbrella which
I had brought. Some mean fellows
behind me began 20 make sarcastic
remarks about that. so I got mad al

the other matter.
There were some awfuily mean
tricks pulled off, that the man in
white pants didn't seem 10 see at al.
For instance, when the teams lined
up, the side that had the ball would
