FOOTBALL OLD SPORT
Gridiron Game Is Descendant of Biblical Days, College Student Claims.

Football Is the oldest of outdoor sports, says Lawrence White, of Claremont. Cal, Pomona college student who has conducted an ex- haustive research into the origins of the pastime.
 Digging into the Bible for foot ball lore White points out that Isaiah wrote He will toss thee like a ball." indicating some form of the game existed as early as 750 B. c. Leaping ahead a few centuries the student finds one of the first of ficial acts of Caesar Augustus was to demand a revision of the rules Of football game which the Romans had learned from the Creeks Au- gustus contended the game was too effeminate for men accustomed to slaughter their foes with the short sword.
 By 1850 football was regarded as a national institution in England. It was played in American colleges as carly as 1890. The first intercollegi- ate game was played in 1869 be- tween Princeton and Rutgers.

GERMANS STRONG
 IN OLYMPIC GAMES
Most Successful Outdoor Ath- letic Season Comes to an End

Berlin, Nov. 6 R>-At the close of the most successful outdoor anna teur athletic season in f2 years, the German Olympic committee predicts that Germany will score at least sec- ond or third place in the Olympic games at Amsterdam in 1928, the first in which German athletes are to compete since 1912.
 Based on present performances, the point score of the United States stands good to suffer most. The Germans are strongest in virtually every sport in which Americans in the 1924 games carried off firsts. The best bid, it appears, will be made in track and field events, swimming, cycling, equestrian sports rifle and revolver shooting. tennis figure skating for men, soccer and fencing with fair chance in ice hockey. rowing and weight lifting.
 Peltzer Best In Distance.
 Dr. Otto Peltzer of Stettin. who holds the worlds record for the half-mile and 1,500 meter run as we'll as all German records from 400 to 1500 meters. looms as the outstanding star. Peltzer turned down offers totalling s50,00o for an American tour and has gone back to job as teacher of economies and gym director in the public schools of Wickersdorf, Thuringia at a sal ary of s75 a month.
 Peltzer's chief rival is the 20year old Herbert Boecher, Berlin. who faced international competitors for the first time this year at Basel, Switzerland and Paris. Helmuth Koernig of Breslau, also discovered this year, has defeated Hubert Hou- ben of Crefeld as champion sprint CT. Koernig is credited with running 100 meters in 10.3 seconds, tenth of a second better than Charlie Paddock's world record.
 In the marathon, Kurt Reichmann of Slegen paced the 42 kilometers in hours, Al minutes. lowering the record of Stenroos in Finland in the 1924 Olympic games by one minute 22 seconds.
 Swimmers Are Numerous
 Erich Rademacher of Madeburg, who shattered a number of breast stroke records during his American tour. leads the swimmers for dis tances from 100 to 400 meters Ernst Vierkoetter, Cologne baker who swan the English channel. if he remains an amateur, probably will be in a class by himself in the water marathons. Others to be heard from are Herman Heinrich, Leipsic, freestyle champion; Gustav Froelich, backstroke champion. who also has visited America: and Kurt Eckstein, Leipsic, also backstroke man.
 In tennis, Dr. Heinz Landmann Of Darmstadt, who defeated Howard Kensey in three straight sets and then took three out of four from Vincent Richards the next day. is generally giving a ranking position. Officially Hans Moldenhauer is No. 1, but neither Landmann nor Otto Froitzheim, detective by profess sion and former champion, com peted in this years championship matches at Hamburg.

COUNTY " PLANS
 BASKETBALL LOOPS
Five Leagues to Be Organized,
 Commissioners Vote at Meeting

Preliminary plans for five basket ball leagues to be sponsored by the Hartford County Y. NJ. c. A. Athle- tic association were laid at the meet ing of the association commission CTS held in Hartford last night. It is expected that there will be two junior leagues, two senior, and one unlimited or adult. Three of these leagues will contain New Britain teams. two local entries being sched- uled for the senior loop.
 The only sure entry in the adult league is the South church of this city, although it is believed that a number of other teams will come in, among them East Berlin. kensington Congregational church. St. Paul's of kensington. Plainville, and several up-county towns. w. A. Bailey of Plainvile will be in charge of the league.
 What promises to be one of the most interesting of the leagues will take in the junior teams from this section. These will include the South church Reserves of this city. the New Britain State Trade school. Plainville. Kensington Boys club, St. Paul's of Kensington, and pos sibly East Berlin, while the Man. chester Hi-Y club will probably have to come into this league in spite of it's distance from the other teams. K. E. Parker will be re- sponsble for the circuit. Another junior league will be formed in the Pennington Valley under Hubert Hubbell of Simsbury; this will take in Collinsville, Simsbury, North Granby, and possibly Granby and Pennington, the winner to meet the champion in this district.
 Rev. Vernon L. Phillips cf Ken sington will be czar or one junior league. Among the teams which are expected to enter are the Man chester Junior Hi-Y club, South Methodist church of Manchester Fhantoms of New Britain, Kensing- ton, Pennington, Plainville high school, and Southington Boy Scouts. The winner will meet for the county title the team which emerges from another league composed of Hazard vile, Enfield, Mapping, Highland Park and Broad Brook which will operate across the river under An thony Randall. formerly of East Berlin.
 These leagues must be through before the end of February, and 1t is planned to get them all under way during the week of December 6.

 The Princeton Tiger, noted for it' ferocity during the months oi October and November, has been ailing for some time,
 4 knot in its tail, put there by the Navy, minus few teeth from its clash with Washington and Lee, bearing face wounds as a result of it's narrow escape from beating by Lehigh. the Princeton Tiger at present is a lame as well as tame kitty.
 The Princeton Tiger, however. is Q most unusual specie. You must watch him closely, for he is ever dangerous. Just when you think he is ready for a milk diet. he in sists on raw meat or nothing.
 Always full of fight, no matter how adversely the battle may be going, the Princeton Tiger has a habit of hitting back hardest when the vicious claw of his. paw seems to have been robbed of it's power.
 If there is one thing the Prince ton Tiger is fond of. it's Harvard steak and have it very rare, please. Crimson meat always whets the ap- petite of the Tiger. restores his strength and makes him more vicious than ever.
 The Princeton Tiger inyades the Harvard Stadium Saturday. Noy. 6, hoping to lay in a supply of tender Harvard meat that will last until next fall, when hunting for liar yard scalp is an annual occurrence.
 Last year the Tiger gorged him. self at the expense of Harvard and possibly the ailmcnt of this fall may merely be an attack of gout due to the 1925 slaughter.
 Princeton won from Harvard last year 36-o, the highest score ever rolled up by a Tiger eleven over the Crimson. It was an utter rout.
 Harvard. naturally, didn't relish the treatment and there were ru- mors that Princeton, for being un- duly rough, was to be erased from the Harvard schedule. The ru- mcns have proved false.
 Harvard, however. will never be satisfied until the Princeton Tigtl has been soundly thrashed for the manner in which he acted in inc fall Of 1925.
 This may be Harvard year After suffering defeats by Geneva and Holy Cross, the Crimson showed strength and fight in lay' minute rally that resulted in z l6-l2 victory over Dartmouth,
 Princeton. on the other hand. hat shown nothing that would cause the supporters of the Tiger to be. lievc there was q chance 10 agair chastise, not only Harvard, bu Gale as well.
 Coach Bill Roper Of the Prince tor squad has the happy faculty o arouSing the Tiger when he de sires him to act his best, and it ma, be that he will again prove equa to the occasion.

tons of roots will replace about four
and a half tons of grain. With grain
worth $34 ton, this makes the crop
of roots from an acre of ground worth
$153.
1t takes labor to grow an acre of
roots, but what does anyone get that

a small patch for yourself.
We have talked mostly about man

SO slight a difference in the feeding

largely resolves itself into question
of which will produce the biggest

HEADACHE AND EYEsTRAIN

At times every parent wishes to
know what causes the frequent head
aches of their children after begin
ming school work. Some children
claim that they do not care to study;
some, that their eyes burn and smart;
some. that they become sleepy after
an hour or so of study.
Many children suffer from eyestrain
and it's consequent dull headache,
and, not realizing that poor vision is
behind the headache, change about
from this study to that, always aim
ing at one that causes less use of the
eyes. These are signs that point
clearly to the need Of q complete eye
examination for the correction of the
vision to normal.
The examination can rarely, if ever,
be properly done unless the eyes are
placed at rest. Every parent knows
that it would be useless to attempt to
fit the foot to a new shoe if the little
toe had sore painful corn on the out
side. 1t would be far better to place
the foot at ease, either by removing
| the corn or by wearing slippers until
the pain had eased. Then a good fit
could be easily obtained and COM
Portable shoe brings relief.
The comparison is quite useful
when applied to the fitting of glasses.
An optician or glass VENDOR" no mat
ter how complete his office and me-
chanical equipment, must of necessity
fit glasses when the eyes "hurt" or
are under strain.
Headache is manifestation of the
sore strained eye. To place the eyes
at rest drops" either of atropin or
homatropin, are used by oculists
physicians who specialize in disease
of the eyes). These drops dilate the
pupils and temporarily paralyze the
accommodation of the eyes.
This permits an accurate measure
ment for glasses. The effect of afro
pin lasts for from 10 days to two
