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. J.. and was alleged to have

morning I saw that the shrine had
already been decked with flowers and
votive lanterns. 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. It was an wonderful Instance

In the
last two or three years playegs have
been wearing all sorts of devices to
prevent injury. 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. Deland, and in.
troduced by Harvard a few yeas ago |
at Springfield, served to increase the |
chances for injury. In fact, there
never were so many accidents ns

that the public demand for a change |

of Messrs. Walter Camp, of Yale;
W. A. Brooks, of Harvard; Alex.
