Push ball at Harvard.
The following- account will give
a good idea of the new game of push
ball instituted at Harvard. We do
not know of its being played at any
other college but there it seems to
be very popular.
"A new game of 'push ball has
been recently introduced and played
at Harvard college, where it has
created a great deal of interest, and
promises to become a very popular
sport. It has some of the essential
features of football, but also posess
es many original points. The ball
used is a rubber bag covered by
strips of leather. It is perfectly
round, and when inflated is six feet
three inches in diameter and weighs
one hundred and twenty pounds
though it can be moved by a very
slight pressure.
"The game is played by two teams
of eight men each, who try to ad
vance the ball into their opponents'
territory by pushing it with their
shoulders.
"The field used is forty yards
long, and the ball is placed in the
middle of it while the players line
up on either side. The centre plays
directly behind the ball with a guard
and tackle on each side of him. Two
forwards play 'offside' to keep the
opposing players away from the
ball and the captain or full back
stands some distance behind direct
ing the play by a code of signals.
1 he advances are made by scienti
fic twisting from side to side.
"Owing to the rapidity of the game
and the exertion required, the period
of play is usually not more than two
minutes in length. When time is
called the side having advanced the
ball into the others territory scores
one or more points. One point is
scored if a five-yard advance is
made, two points if a ten-yard ad
vance, and so on until finally if a
twenty-yard advance has been made
thus carrying the ball across the
goal line, it counts five points.
"The push ball at Harvard is the
only one in existence and it was con
structed at a cost of $200. The game
requires carelully drilled team play
and a considerable amount of science
while doing away with the rough
ness and injuries so much! in evi
dence in football."
College Notes.
A new system of training-has been
adopted by the base ball candidates
at U. of Va. Instead of : the old
pledge system where the captain has
to specify all the various and sundry
things that the men must not do,
and exercise as much ingenuity as a
Pinker ton detective in order to leave
no loophole for escape, each man is
simply on his honor not to do any
thing detrimental to his physical
condition. Topics says of 'it: "This
year, for the benefit of thoso who
would like to know there will be no
signed, pledge for the applicants as
heretofore. Every man who gives
in his name to the captain or man
ager is put on his honor not to do
anything which will in any way be
hurtful to him prevent his keeping
in the best condition.
He is bound by the same, to in
every way assist his captain, by
subordination to his orders and those
of the trainer.
It is hoped that this plan will be
most successful.
The question was put to a vote
of the first applicants who reported
their choice. The present plan was
unanimously adopted".

The course in Modern Novels
given at Yale under Dr. Philips has
been very popular and has awaken

there.
As a result of this interest two

the"Robert Louis Stevenson Club".
The object of the clubs will be to
study diferent modern authors and
promore a general interest in litera
ary work.

"Nancy", he said, the gallant youth,
With glowing-eyes and beating pulse,
'You say that you love, grant me the
bliss
Of a fond embrace, a soft sweet kiss".
Prove me your word,prove me your heart,
Oh! give me proof the convincing sort,
"I do love you John" "how long I have
heard
Then sanction dear, seal with just one
kiss that word."
Long time John pleaded, but his pleading
in vain,
Could Nancy persuade, nor her"nos" re
strain At length John disheartened, caught his
hat up to go
When Nancy kissed him just once at
the door.
(the modern FI.IRT.)
"Ethel", said John, your "your kisses;
sweet,
And caresses warm, have long been meat
To my ardent soul, tnp affection true;
Now tell me dearest "John I love you".
Vow me yor love, plight me your troth;
Swear to be mine my wife until death,
Sanction this kiss, dear, seal this caress
Say that you love me, and my life will
bless.
Coy Ethel arose in severe indignation,
"How dare you sir make any such intima
tion, Is't that for my "kindness" you'd sub
stitute that word;
Love you it's out of date go John
you're absurd.
