Against! Opponents.
Parke Davis, wibo ranks among the
!?? st ends in Princeton "football his
tory. and who has been serving as urn- i
pirc in some of the important Middle
Western football games this fall, was
an expert when in college in the uses
of the onsidc kick.
Davis relates that one of the first
things the Princeton players used to
tlnd out ih t'.iis connection was the'
first names of the defensive full back I
and quarter ^aek of the opposing 1
team. When Princeton tried the on- 1
s de kick Davis and the rest of the
Tic-'-r team would rush down the field
shouting "L?et it go, Harry," or what
ever the first name of the opposing
I layer happened to L>e. According to
Davis, rliis Rreatly confused the op
posing players in trying to catch the
kick, and often they would eifher allow
the ball to touch the ground or mud
it altogether.

this week wK3i three of them tying
for tho first position and the fourth in

shattered.
As fortune decreed, Richmond College
defeated Randolph-Macon head Satur
day by an overwhelming score, 27 to
7, while Hampdcn-Sidney won from
William and Mary at Norfolk after a
tirrific battle by a 7-to-S count. Ran
dolph-Macon was eliminated from the
race with a record of three defeats .
and no games won. i
Next Saturday tho Richmond College J
Spiders will be opposed to the William
and Mary Indians here In a contest
whetlher Coach Driver, of t;.Te William
burs aggregation, has preferred to call
a championship game. However, un
der an agreement reached between the
coaches of the Westhampton and Wil
liamsburg institutions the losing
ileven will decide whether it will be
recorded as an exhibition or a cham
pionship affair. The agreement was
consummated some time ago when an
extra game was placed on the schedule
here for Thanksgiving between t'he i
Spiders and Indians.
At the same time th&t the Spiders
tackle the Indians here the Yellow
Jackets and Tigers will clash in j
Lynchburg. Unquestionably, In the j
light of past performances. Richmond
College has a harder tight to wage |
than Hiunpdcn-Sldncy, and the cham
pionship prospects appear brighter for |
the Tigers.
Three weeks ago the Spiders went I
down in defeat before tlhe William and
Mary machine at Williamsburg in the |
opening championship game of the sea

then Coach Dobso'n has instilled into ;

rBy Associated TreflS-l
ATLANTA, Nov. 2.?The fight for j
Southern football " honors apparently >
has resolved itself for the present at
least into a battle royal between Geor- I
gia Toch, Alabama and Mississippi A. j
& M., with upsets still possible, because :
each of these elevens Is scheduled to i
play formidable opponents later in the !
season.
The Alabama team came sharply to i
the front Saturday with the j
whelming defeat of Sewanee. The Tus- (
.^aloosa s<iuii(l, which nil season had j
shown remarkable scoring ability,
literally swamped the Tennessee eleven,
40 to 0. showing a powerful line plung
ing abilitv and an equally strong de
fense. The thin red line has yet to be
scored upon this season, and has piled
up probably the largest combined score
of anv Southern squad.
Georgia Tech continued its victorious
march, with an easy victory over
Davidson 33 to 0, notwithstanding the
rain-soaked field, a condition which,
prevailed generally throughout the
Soufh The Yellow Jackots' record for ;
the season is slightly more impressive
than that of Alabama and Mississippi,
for th<- reason that Heisman's machine
has met, "on the whole, stronger op
ponents.
Mississippi A. & M. eliminated Loui
siana State University, f, to 0, and con
tinued its string of unbroken victories.
This squad has not been scored upon
this season. Kentucky and Vanderbilt |
played a scoreless tie, although Mc- I
Guigan's men were on the defensive j
nearly all the way. Auburn's 7-to-0
victory over Georgia gave the Red and
Black its first setback of the year.
The game was played during a down
pour, but the Plainsmen showed more ;
p-iwer throughout, and the result never ;
was in doubt.
Centre College of Kentucky over-:
whelmed Virginia. 40 to 0. administer- J

which rivaled that received at the '

CIS FOOTBALL HISTOBY
PIGSKIN IN ANCIENT DAYS
STUFFED WITH SHAVINGS
Game 1'lsyfd In Ireland Ileffore Time
of C'brlat?Known to All
Rneea.
Football, which now holds the ath
letic stage in colleges and high schools,
Is considered a strenuous game, but
the style of play In thJs generation is
a mild and taine exercise as compared
i to the original forms of the sport, ac
j cording to a bulletin from the National
| Geographic Society.
| The history of tho autumn, classic is
| described by J. R. Hildebrand In a
! communication to the society, which j
I follows:
j "Running. throwing, hitting and |
i kicking are the fundamental muscular
| operations of America's characteristic
sports?baseball, football, tennis and
golf. The peoples of antiquity mani
fested all these Instincts in cruder
form.
"I^uzon liillmen, the Polynesians and
the Eskimo and Sumatra Islanders had
; games played by kicking a ball. Greeks
i played it, and the Roman game, har
| pastum, derived its name from the
i Greek 'I seise,' which is evidence that
! carrying the ball was practiced by
! them. With shoes of hide, the medieval
Italians played a game which seems
' the direct ancestor of the Anglo-Saxon
college sport. Gaelib scholars point to
| a football game in Ireland before tho
! time of Christ, and until comparatively
! recent times Shrove Tuesday was as(
i distinctly an occasion for football as
| is our Thanksgiving today.
| "In old England football was even
I rougher than most sports of those
I hardy times. James I. thought it was
i 'meeter for lamelng than making able
the users thereof.' Henry VIII. and
Elizabeth ruled against it. Edward II.
frowned upon it for its interference
with archery and also because of the
commotion it aroused. In those times
It was played in the city streets. A
writer of the sixteenth century called
it a 'devilish pastime' and charged it
with inciting 'envy and sometimes
brawlng, murther and homicide.'
"Nevertheless, by the time of Charles
II. football had become firmly estab
lished at Cambridge. It was ever held
in high ?steem in Ireland. There, when
all other sports were prohibited for
archery's sake, 'only the great foot
balle' was exempt. Women joined with
the men in paying it on Shrove Tues
days. So many participated tha,t few
knew the whereabouts of the ball. An
expedient, which not so long ago
aroused a furore in the American
sporting world, was adopted by a player
who shook out the shavings with
which the balls of those days were
stufTed and. carried it under his shirt
to the goal!
"Abandoned as a general pastime
because of its roughness, it was re
tained in colleges until, within the
past half-century, it sprang into re
newed popularity in greatly modified
ft "The British carried football into
Jerusalem when they recovered the
sacred city. Missionaries have taught
it to heathen tribes.
"The reason why it has become a
handmaiden of civilization and is so
popular amonn college men of Amorica
was summarized by Howard R. Bliss,
writing about tlifi Syrian Protestant
College at Beirut, of which hi: was
president, in an article for the National
Geographic Magazine:
"'You will find the son of a prince
playing football under the captnincy of
a peasant or the son of a cook. We
believe in football there and we have
seventeen or eighteen different football
teams in college. The game develops
the ability to receive a hard blow with
out showing the white feather or draw
ing d dagger. This means that when
the men get out of college they will
stand upon their feet as men.
PRIVATE HELPS CAPTAIN

Hoy* Who Ralae Money.
BRIDGEPORT. CONN.. Nov. 2?1: is
not often that.one hears of a private
going out of his way to do a ??oocl
turn for a former commandlnc otneer
or having an opportunity to do so. but
such a case has come to light here.
Captain Jack Feegal. holder ot lhe
croix de guerre and distinguished ser
vice is home in Meriden among Ills
friends and Is receiving hospital treat
ment which it is hoped may save his
l'fe- - ? ~ ..
A few weeks ago he was running a
little fruit stand on Main Street, barely
making enough money to live on.
No one recognized the weakened, (
crippled man in the shabby clothes j
tending the fruit counter as the gal
lant Captain "Jack" Feegal. of Com- j
pany I, One Hundred and Second In- j
fantry, Yankee Division. ?
It was not until a group of YD ,
doughbovs, bound home after receiving 1
their discharges, happened to stop over |
a few hours in Bridgeport waiting for
train connections, that he was "discov- I
ertd." . i, 1
A private, wearing three gold service i
strips and the highly prized 'i D in- i
signia, wandered up the street from the
station arid stopped at a tiny fruit ,
stand to buy an apple.
The soldier offered a quarter in pay- 1
ment. but while awaiting his change

I MANY PROMINENT MEN
COME OUT FOR TANLAC
Hon. Frank V. Evans Says lie
Weighs More Than Erer
in His Life.
PRAISES TANLAC HIGHLY
Suffered for Years and Recov
ery Is Talk of the Town,
? He States.
One of the latest additions to the
large and rapidly growing list of
prominent men who have publicly In
dorsed Tanlac for tho (rood it has? done
them Is the name of Hon. Frank V.
Evans, former Mayor of Birmingham.
Mr. Evans lf? one of .the beet known
men in public life In Alabama today,

South'* greatest newspapers, the Birm

aminer of public accounts In Alabama.
In tellinc of the benefits he had de
rived from Tanlac. Mr. Evans said:
"For years I suffered with gastritis
and indigestion in the worst form. I
was habitually constipated and had
pains in my shoulders and headaches
continually. My appetite left me al
most entirely, and everything I could
eat hurt me. Finally I cot to having
awful attacks of acute indigestion,
palpitation of the heart and smother
ing spells. For a long time I would
have one or more of these spells every
night, and I would wake out of my
restless sleep gasping for breath.
"I bought a bottle of Tanlac and, to
my surprise and cratification, I began
to feel relief after the first few doses.
I kept taking the medicine and now
weigh more than ever before, and my
recover}' is simply the talk of Birm
ingham."

REV. AISYKES IS
GREATLY GRATIFIED
The Rev. A. H. Sykes. pastor of the
"Wat kins Park Presbyterian Church,
Nashville. Tenn.. prominent not only
as a minister of the gospel, .but popu
lar as a man and citizen who has been
true to his friends and every trust ever
reposed In him. said recently:
"For the last ten months M^s. Sykes
has been in very delicate health, suf
fering from bad stomach and kidney
troubles, which gradually developed
into a general, nervous breakdown. At
times her condition became alarming
and I frequently sought medical ad
vice, but nothing we could do for her
seemed to bring relief.
"In fact, she Buffered so long and
so much that 1 feel it my duty to let
every one know what this medicine
has done for her. For several months
her condition was such that Bhe had
to remain in bed, and as a last resort
1 decided to let her try Tanlac.
"I am a conservative man and have
always been skeptical regarding the
use of proprietary medicines, but (his
case has certainly proven an excep
tion. I am now firmly convinced that
Tanlac is a medicine of great power
and extraordinary merit. I do not
think I have ever seen anything to
give such prompt results. Mrs. Sykes
had taken only two-thirds of a bottle
of this medicine when we began to I
notice a marked improvement in her i
condition. In less than a week from |
the time she began taking It she was >
able to sit up and is today able to help i
with the household duties. Before she '
began taking Tanlac she had fearful '
pains In her side, and suffered con- ?
stantly from sour stomach and indi- .
gestion and was intensely nervous.
These distressing symptoms, I am
thankful to say. have entirely disap
peared, her appetite has returned and
she seems to relish everything she
eats. She sleeps better and is gaining
strength and flesh rapidly. 1 think
it only a question of a short time until
her health Is fully restored.
"Tanlac her certainly proven a re
markable remedy in her case, and will
do all you claim for It. I cheerfully
recommend It to my friends."
Tanlac is sold in Richmond by C.rant
Drug Co. and Tragle Drug Co. and the
leading druggists In every town.

"Tanlac is rapidly making mc over

the opportunity."
Judge Kyser served in the Civil War

in Caldwell County for 20 years, and
resigned this office to accept the ap
pointment as Commissioner of Pensions

Austin's most highly respected citi
zens, but Jb prominently known

"I have suffered from constipation
for years," continued Judge Kyser. "I
had rheumatic pains all over my body,
was restless and couldn't sleep at all
well. I had no energy and suffered
frequently from headaches?and u> be
frank about it, 1* was just about,
played out.
"But I'm feeling like a different man
now, thanks to Tanlac. In fact. I'm
feeling fine now and nothing has
helped me but Tanlac. 1 am recom
mending it to my friends as the bc-st
medicine I have <wer found to build
up a weak, run down system and to
restore lost health and vigor."

the spot. That tired feeling hu? left
,me, and -I ? have more -energy. I feel
like a new man."
