idle meter and installed it on his
property. Monday morning (this
week), a city employee was sent
back to Twin Brook-this time to
remove the meter which the user
had installed. When he began do

front door of the house flew open

what she would do if said would

Slight disagreement again be-
tween the City of Rockville and
the gentlemen across the street
who make up the brass in County
government. This time it seems
the City wants to know, and right
ly so, what the County intends to
do about paying a few bucks into
City Golfers for additional capital
outlay and the use of water and
sewer facilities for the new County
building which expects to hook into
the City systems. At this time,
the County pays a measly $1,000
for use of facilities and Mayor

a pitching duel, 10.
Although he allowed four bases

up two, did the Padres threaten

NEW YORK, April ga few
days ago an old friend of mine
died. Just as Ty Cobb represents
the baseball style of many years
ago, this man represented the foot
ball game that used to be. This
friends name was Shep Romans,
All-America fullback in 1890 and
1891.
In 1889 Romans was Snake
Ames' substitute. That year, Shep
never got into college game
Ames, also an All America,
played every second at fullback
for Princeton in a rough season
that included a crushed breast
bone for one of Harvard's stars,
and broken collarboneS for other
players.
Snake never gave me a chance
to play a minute" Shep told me
one day. He was the greatest COL
lege star I ever saw. Not only a
great fullback-the best-he was
also the best college pitcher of all
time. He limited the Athletics to
three hits in 1889, and beat the
Giants, 8-5.
Got His Chance in 1890.
II had my chance in $780," Ho-
mans continued. II weighed only
1874 pounds but I played IL games
for Princeton and my sub never
got into a game. Every minute of
each battle-and I can tell you
there were many injuries in a
rough game. The next year again
played every minute of every game
through II games. This makes %
games and not missing a second
Of play"
That was the football Of 1890
and 1891. Also football as it was
played on through 1910 or later
when a number of coaches began
to figure out something to save the
boys and help them.
In place of playing II complete
games year. as he did in 1890
and 1891-and some of the games
lasted IS minutes per -Shep
would have played about half of
each game. under the modern
system. He would have played no
defense at all. He would have
been relieved more than a dozen
times in the course of a game.
Played Golf for 40 Years.
Was Romans badly injured by
this overtime? Later. Shep was
an all-day golfer for some 40
years. He was still playing anna
teur baseball when around SIS or
so. He was in much better physi-
cal condition at so than most of
