Reading the Signs

''You must learn how to handle
your man. the young matron was
explaining TO the engaged girl. ooh,
l won't need to handle Tommy"
answered the engaged one. "Oh, but
YOU WILL" insisted the matron. '"They
are all alike, and you must learn to
read the signs. Now my Dick is
about as good as they come, but just
the same / keep my eye on him and
1 know just when he is feeling good
and when he is cross or discouraged.
When he comes home with his hair
standing on end, l know he is feeling
good and 1 can tease him and boss
him around and we have jolly time
of it. When he feels good he runs
his fingers through his hair and it
stands up. That's the high sign.
But when he comes in with his hair
licked down fiat, as if the cat had
applied her tongue, l know he
doesn't feel well or is out of sorts or
blue. Then l tell him to go smoke
his pipe while l put dinner on the
table. After din ner I coax him out
to the movies or put some rollicking
records on the phOnograph or other
wise entertain him until l get him
cheercd up, then he is all right
Oh, you'll have to learn, too, to read

Coach Cavanaugh
Says RefOrmers Would
Spoil Grid Game

New York, Dec. 2S.-Football will
degenerate into parchesi if reformers
succeed in having adopted rules tend =
ing to minimize the physical ag-
Gressiveness of the game, in the
opinion of Frank Cavanaugh, coach
of the Boston College eleven, who
was star on rugged Dartmouth
teams a few years back.
At the meeting of the American
Football Coaches Association ycster-
day he objected to a proposal to
ctmiaate side clipping because it
would take much away from the
fundamentals Of the sport.
I'VE will soon come to period"
be said, when rules will be intro
iHced to the effect that players will
not be allowed to bend their necks
and then We'll all adjourn to the
parchesi board and have a good
time"
He added that "the public will not
support the game if what is left of
the scrmmage is taken away, and
we need their dollars
The association took no action.

Indian Woman Heir to 100000

Minnie Atkins, a blood Creek
Indian, proved to the satisfaction of
the Supreme Court the other day that
Thomas Atkins was her son, and that,
as his heir, she is the rightful owner
of n 160-acre tract in the Gushing
oil fields of Oklahoma, estimated to
be worth 100000.
Several years ago the Dawes COM
mission enrolled Thomas Atkins and
the governments patented the tract in
his name. A four sided controversy
arose, the government contending
Thomas Atkins was myth and the
allotment hab been obtained by fraud.
Minnie Atkins and Nancy Atkins, a
full blooded Creek, both claimed
Thomas was their son. Minnie At
kins clinched her victory the other
day when the Supreme Court held
she was Thomas mother and the en-
rolment should stand.

Tcpsy's Flock

Torsy, a half grown shepherd dog,
has, writes friend of the Companion,
flock of her own. 1t is an unusual
flock too. for every one of the mem
bers of it has, not wool, but feathers.
The mother OF the flock is a Ply
mouth Rock hen, but Topsy is the
shepherd. Whenever the chicks
scatter she will run around them and
gradually bring them nearer the
clucking mother. One day some
OF them had wandered off, and Topsy,
much distressed, was making every
effort to round them up, when a
passer-by who thought she was go
ing to hurt them struck at her with
a folded paper. At once the dog set
up an agoniZed barking. and finally
her mistriss hurried out to explain
Let alone again, the little dog brought
the chicks into close formation and
delivered them to the hen in fairly
compact group. Topsy was never
trained to do that sort Of thing and
has never been with older shepherd
dogs. Apparently blood will tell."-

Princeton Trained
To Outguess Harvard
Says Tiger Lineman

Boston, Dec. 28.-Princeton de-
fcated Harvard At football this year
because the Tiger team was taught
to anticipate the Crimson backfield
moves, Herb Treat, Princeton tackle,
said in an interview published here
today. The Tigers victory over Chi
cago, made possible by "Howdy''
Grays run for touchdown, he said,
was the turning point of Princeton
victorious season.
George Owen Of Harvard in Treat
opinion. was the hardest man Prince
ton had to stop.
"Yale's defence was the toughest
we met and Chicago's offence seemed
to us to be the best" he added.
I'VE knew before the Harvard
game that we were going to win,'
Treat said 1--WE had great respect
for the Harvard system, but our
coaches showed us how it could be
beaten. We followed their instruc-
tons and we won.
I'VE took more chance, gambled
more at Chicago than in any other
game. 1t was a case of western
football by an eastern team against
a western team. When Gray scored
that touchdown, it seemed as though
we all just naturally knew that we
were good and that's why we were
50 successful, I guess.
THAT John Thomas of Chicago is
a whale of a player, but if YOU want
my opinion, George Owen is better"

BELIEVE FAIR PLAY
CODE WILL IMPROVE
''HEALTh" FOOTBALL

New York. Dec. 2S.-Proposals
designed to improve the health" OF
intercollegiate and site
football are contained in a code of
fair play, good sportsmanship and
coaching ethics adopted by the
American Football Coaches Associ-
alton at its annual meeting yester-
day. The code was framed by a
committee of which A. A. Stage, Of
Chicago University. is chairman.
Under fair play, scrupulous OBJ
servance was urged of fundamentals
such as using only students strict
ly eligible under amateur and insti-
tutional rules, selection of compe-
tent officials, starting of games at
hours certain to permit completion
in ample daylight, non-encroach.
ment by stands or spectators upon
the playing field and provisions of
the fairest playing field possible, in
GLIDING protection against freezing
with hay, straw or other suita bic
covering.
Enumeration Of ways in which
good sportsmanship" can be ex-
pressed included: by providing
comforts and conveniences to the
visiting team and its friends, by
ceasing cheering while signals are
being called; by applauding out
standing plays, demonstrations of
personal pluck and acts Of fine
craftsmanship on the part of oppon-
ents; by combining scouting to legi-
innate study of regularly played
games; entailing refusal to spy on
an opponents practice. scout his
signals or secure by secret means in
formation concerning the style of
play of team to be met later; by
endeavoring to settle questions of ell
igibility confidentially. rather than
by public discussion: by active en-
couragement of cordial relations be-
tween teams and student bodies of
rival institutions; and by going out
of the way to congratulate the
coach and captain Of the winning
team"
AS ethical practices. coaches were
urged in the code to refuse to teach
side-line coaching; clipping, inten-
tional roughness and other methods
of violating the letters or spirit of
rules; to encourage respect toward
officials and discourage abusive talk
between opposing players during a
game; to elevate the ideals above
the desire to win at any price; to
work in harmony with the academic
purposes of institutions; and to dis
courage PROSECUTING, recruiting. bet
ting, professional football. the spirit
of commercialism. and other influ-
ences tending to substitute for such
character building qualities in play
ers as loyalty, self-sacrifice and de-
votion."
