Anybody who goes to a big football match nowadays will marvel at the | ‘harness’ and “‘armor’’ worn by the | players. Twenty years ago canvas, molesking, nose masks, and shin guards were unknown to the young men who rushed, kicked and tackled, In those days a common long-sleeved jersey, an ordinary pair of long trous- ors, heavy walking shoes, ank a skull cap made a football uniform com- plete. But the rough tackling caused many a jersey to be torn to shreds. It was in 1876, according to Mr Tracy Harris—the famous ex-Prince- ton player—that a student at the] Jersey college by the name of Ledru| P. P. Smock, who hailed from Hights- town. N.

A new bib had been put about Jizo's neck, and a tuddhist repast set before him. Later on carpenters constructed & dancing platform in the temple court for the children to dance upon, and before sundown the toy sellers had erected and stocked a small street of booths inside the precincts. After dark I went out into a great glory of lantern fires to see the children dance, and I found perched before my gate an enormous dragonfly more than three feet long. It was a token of the children’s gratitude for the little help 1 had given them—a kazari, a decoration. 1 was startled for the moment by the realism of the thing, but upon close examination 1 discov. ered that the body was a pine branch wrapped with colored paper, the four wings were four fire-shovels, and the leaming head was a little teapot. The whole was lighted by a candle so placed as to make extraordinary shadows, which formed part of the design.

Pads to worn over the ears, helmets to protect the scalp, supports for the abdomen are among the principal things donned » before going upon the field. Last year the Harvard snleven went a bit further than the other colieges in the way of uniforming themselves, for the men suddenly burst into view wearing those celebrated leather suits. the bill for which caused such controversy between the members of the team and Financial Manager White. But the new attire was not a howling success, and the chances are that the Harvard players will re- turn to the time-honored canvas togs this season. The adoption of all these new fangled things, however, convinces us of ono thing, The game in the past five years, not including | this season, has grown dangerous. | The flying wedge und mass plays, in- | vented by Lorin F.
