First Flying Wedge on Football Field, in 1869

AS far as history goes, the first in
tercollegiate football game of all time
was played November 6, 1869, at
Brunswick, N. J., between Rutgers of
that city and Princeton, from 20 miles
away.
The New York World published the
story of the game, as told by John
w. Herbert-Rutgers, PA partici-
pant. The teams numbered % play
ers each.
Rutgers, it appeared, was having a
tough year. Princeton had won at
baseball and had succeeded in obtain
ing the Revolutionary war cannon,
which had been stolen back and forth,
by burying 1t several inches deep in
concrete. Football was becoming COM
mon as an intramural sport, and Rut-
gers challenged its rival to three
games. The first was played at
Brunswick.
"Receiving the ball." Mr.. Herbert
writes, "our men formed a perfect in
reference around it and with short,
skillful kicks and dribbles drove 1t
down the field. Taken by surprise,
the Princeton men fought valiantly,
but in five minutes we had gotten the

her instructions to Max had been ex-

starting something on his own ac-

Would Max have the nerve to ask a

smart enough. Martin had just
reached that point in his speculations
when they were confirmed by Max's
emergence from the doorway, accom-

to give an order like that. But the

nothing better than to tag along,

In both salt and fresh water live
countless millions Of microscopic crea-
lures known as diatoms. These build
tiny shells of almost incredible thin
ness, and when they die their empty
homes form deposit known by the

that from this earth can be made a
powder which is ideal for toilet pur-
poses.
When dry, diatomaceous earth is
easily reduced to very light powder,
finer and more porous than that made
from rice or starch. At present, all

or other of these two substances. Be
