college towns and who practice and : M aua* play the game are almost as universal in its commendation. But if Hall either are all together right, let right then prevail. With a view of explaining Americas greatest college game and of giving to our readers who have seldom seen it an adequate idea of its nature and the science and skill which is required to play it well, the Star-Press has collected the fol-

lowing facts.

The American game of foot ball as it is played today is taken from the English game, as it has been played for many years. It has only sprung into prominence, however, in this country in the last twenty years, and in the West we may say in the last 7 years, until now it bids fair to out rival the great game ofbase ball. But the foot ball season does not begin until base ball is over and of course there is no competition between them. The foot ball season begins about the 1st of October and lasts until Thanksgiving day, when in every state there is a big

final game of the season.

A foot ball team is composed of eleven men—a center rush, right and left guards, right and left tackles, right and left ends, quarter back right and left halfbacks, and a full back. The game is divided into two halves of 35 minutes each. One team takes the ball . and tli e other has choice of goal. The field is 330 feet long and 160 feet wide. It is called a gridiron because it is marked across between goals at intervals of five yards each. When play is called the team that takes the ball places it on the center line in the middle of its field and kicks it down towards their goal which is in front of them. The opposing team then has the right to get the ball and run back with it until the man who has the ball is downed; then they line up where this man was downed and the center rush holds the ball, the opposing team lines up opposite and on the other side of the ball. The quarter back plays right back of the center rush, the half backs a few feet back of him and the full back between the two halves. When the signal is given the ball is snapped or passed back to tho quarter back by the center rush. The quarter back has no right to run with the ball, but must pass it to some other player. The pass must be towards their opponent’s goal. The ball, if passed forward becomes the property of the other side. If the side fails to make five yards with the hall in three attempts it then becomes the property of the other side and they can take it until lost on downs or a fumble or the like. No player except the one running with the ball has tho right to use his arms or hands in interference with the play of their opponents. The object of the game is to push the opposing team back and put the ball down behind the goal line. This counts four and is called a touch down; it gives the team that makes the play a right to a trial for goal. The goal posts are 18 feet apart and a strip of wood is nailed to the two 10 feet from the ground. The ball is taken out into the field directly in front of where it was downed behind the goal line, a player lies down and holds the ball while another of the same team tries to kick it over the goal; if he does this itcountstwo. Whether the goal is kicked or not the other team is entitled to the ball and play begins in the center of ths field as in the start. Foot ball is a very scientific game. Of course weight and muscle lias a great deal to do with the success of a team, but many a heavy team has gone down before the team work of their opponent. Team work consists in concentrating tho teams strength in every play. Herein lies the beauty of the game over base ball for in many a game of base ball the pitcher and catcher

goal. Ken-

tucky kicked off tho ball for about 20 yards, Hall got the ball running about 10 yards with it. DePauw then through the excellent work of Sandy, Roller, Pulse and Shireman gained steadily until they were on the enemies 25yard line when through a fumble Kentucky got tho ball. Kentucky made slight gains, and when she found that she would loose the balls on downs, tossed it back to Mason for a punt. The kick was poor, Ruich eought the ball and made ten yards through the Kentucky lines. DePauw again made handsome gains but fumbled and lost the hall when within 15 yards of the goal, Kentucky with Mason carrying the ball then made a splendid gain of 15 yards through the D. P. U. line, but unfortunately lost the ball on downs. Then our boys began to play ball, by rapid playing they carried the ball across the field loosing it but once on a fumble but as quickly regaining it until they, pushed Roller across the goal line, and made the first score of the game. Roller kicked goal, score 6 to 0. It took just 18 minutes to make the first touch down. The teams again lined up, Kentucky had the kick off, and achieved splendid success, sicking the ball 30 yards into DePaaws territory. Ewing caught the ball and made a good gain of 10 yards. After two minutes of hard fighting by both teams, time was called. The first half had ended. DePauw now had the advantage in the score, but the disadvantage of the Held, as their goal could only be reached by pushing the Kentucky giants up hill. That did not seem to make much difference. DePauw kicked off well, and in 8 minutes had a touch down. Roller failed to kick goal. Score D. P. U.

10, Kentucky 0.

The Kentucky team seemed to be giving out, but they played game and hard. As the skillful* DePauw plsyers pushed and shoved them about the field, they made many noble efforts to become the masters. But the lunging heaving mass of DePauw was too strong and skillful for them and in a lew minutes Shireman was carried over the line amid the hurrahs of the lusty DePauwites. Roller again failed to kick goal and tho score stood 14 to 0 in DePauws favor. Two minutes before the game closed D. P. U. made another touch down, but failing to kick goal, the game ended with DePauw victorious by a score of 18 to 0. The game was a great game, clean and tolerably fair. If Referee Smith had not made several rank decisions in favor of Kentucky, DePnuw’sscore would have been larger. To see the wedges of the DePauwites plow through Kentucky’s lines, the circling wheels turn round their end, and the magnificent interference and guarding was enough to raise the enthusiasm of any lever cf true sport. Kentucky was outclassed. Although she played her coach Mason she was not in it. DePauw has the strongest team she has ever had. Thisyearshe has had no coacher until last Saturday, when Mr. Wade, an elegant young gentleman was employed to train her for the final contest. DePauw played as good if not a better game with Kentucky State College than did Puruue. She hopes to defeat Purdue this year. If the citizens and community lend their help, DePauw with such players as Roller, Hall, Pulse, Sandy and Shireman will be tho onauipious of

the State.
