One intriguing detail was the manner In which a players would come off the field, and his fellow-players, after working on him for a spell with a trowel and a couple of spades, would Ray, 'VVeli: It's Hill! You're doin' great," Another feature of this seat was the excitement caused by these same players coming in off the field and shaking themselves heartily, after the manner of a Newfoundland dog when he has Just been In the river chasing a stick. We guess we shook about a pint of mud out of our umbrella that was bestowed generously upon us in this way. Tne linesmen, going about their mysterious duties, bad stakes with chains TALKS AT LEBANON Entire Second Floor had come successfully out of a skid, they would find themselves leaning heavily on their elbows on the brink of one of the numerous pools of water that dotted the fair expanse of the field, gazing at their reflection in these turbid depths like the well-known Mr. Narcissus, Not that Die reflections were much to look at No, Indeed Many a handsome guy playing In that game must have had to look at his reflection a second time, and maybe wiggle bis ears or something, to convince himself that it was Indeed he himself at which he looked, and not the image of one of the less fastidious sewer diggers. We doubt, in fact, whether anybody really could tell who any player on the field was.

Their elegant Jerseys red and white for Wabash, blue and white for liutler were submerged: the numbers on tlu-lr backs were not to be read is there not a law some place that license numbers must be kept legible? Their faces looked much as we girls look when Interrupted in a secret session with this beauty clay. Several of the players had, In some mysterious fashion, parted with their stockings not that that made any difference, either.

And when wo think of all the trouble and grief it, is to pry the mud off one pair of galoshes, we would ortainly hate to have had the job of eleaniiiK up those two teams and restoring them to what mUht he called tlrdr pristine beauty. We will bet enough mud was carried off the field yesterday to track up kitchen floors, which if laid end to end, would reach from here to Picplatr, Idaho. Once, a long time ago. while out In them, one thought, disapprovingly, of 4 Another Item Is the fact that seldom, if ever, have we seen any object that appeared less appetizing than the turklah towels that the players used to smear the mud off their facade In the brief periods between quarters. No we have seen many a turklsh towel that was not looking its best, but these, like Abou What's his name, led all the rest.

Use Furs Differently What a change in the great open spaces, wo snw an opossum, or a ground hog, or some other edible little varmint, enwrapped In a blanket of mud, and then placed reverently In bed of hot ashes to Would Count 'Em Carefully. Nobody asked us for any advice on the subject, but It was our team cither of them, we would check tin on instead of mere fur collars and cuffs, Fashion uses Furs and Flares in smart new ways, and the result is entirely new Expert! Bounded Out. We'll never tell you how a member of one team could distinguish a member of the opposing team. Several experts in the vicinity were sounded out by us on this subject. We asked, right out: "When they're all of 'em covered with mud like that, what is to prevent a Butler mudguard from tackling a Wabash left field?" And the person addressed looked at us for a moment, and said: 'Nothing.

And the referee My, my! you should have seen him! He hail on, when the game started, a very Jaunty little outfit, consisting of a newly laundered suit of white plus fours. And If anybody thinks that, with the honor of Butler and Wabash is at stske, anybody Is going to pause and hesitate and think of the referee's white suit, or anybody else's white suit, that shows all that person all the players, and make sure they were all there, because if one of them was forgotten, and left to stand around while all that mud dried on him, somebody has probably by this time mistaken him for an old-fashioned lawn ornament, like those iron dogs, and carted lilm off to the junk cock.
