She will give one recital at the Plaza on Tuesday evening, October 17, singing the following program: (Continued From Page 3) the flipper that seems brainless.

We may not regard the flappers in "Nice People" as averaging high in the things worth while; but that is because they are represented as flappers of negligible personal worth.

Rugby, or Rounders, is similar to the game played with the t. In Brazil colled ftlgby or Rinders and something like the Dutch game Roogby. The last named however Is played with a walrus shaped ball and 1000 men on a side. A crowd of 20 spectators is nothing at a Roogby match in Wabash, Holland, and the Netherlands Is dirty with lonely women and children whose fathers and husbands respy.

spend -the week end in the various football vat. But the daddy of our American gu.ine of football Is the Gallcian game Ruggles. The college season of Gallcian Ituggles begins about the 1 of Oct. after a couple wks. practice though the most of the boys keeps themselfs in pretty fair shape by playing baseball in Upper Siberia dureing the Bummer vacation.

There is only 11 men on a college Kuggles team but sometimes as many as 13 men comes out to try for the team and what to do with the 2 extra men is a neat problem fur the coach. Some coachs has these 2 busy bodies "framed" for some imaginary violation of the law and "sent up the river" or jugged as the (lallcia.ns calls It, wile other more humane concha merely allows them to hang around the field and watch the practice but. don't apeajk to them or give them any encouragement. Most of the college coachs takes time oft from Sunday to Thursday and It is on these wild junkets that they visit surrounding towns and encounter the coachs of, rival colleges and make up a football 'or the foiling Saturday. Then is when the fun starts to see if a field can be hired to play on and get up nicknames for the 2 rival teams and etc.

If all other matters is aranged satisfuctoiw why on Friday nights the 2 coachs meets in a saloon and pick out the officials for the foiling day's game. To the editor: FROM now on till the last of Nov. will be the Mecca for the football season in those parts of the U. S. where they have schools and It seems to rne like this would be a good time for different people to study up on football and what it is like and It's history and etc.

as ignorant peoplo like the foreign lmmigrunts and our women folks appears to have a great Ignorants of football and nothing' strikes me as more pltifull for inst. than a member of the fair sex tending a football game at some sucker's expense and when she gets there she don't know weather the object of the game Is to match up all your cards or get 3 men out. Percy Haughton the former mgr. of the Harvard football nine has wrote a book called How to Understand Football where he tells what it is all about and even a woman can understand it if they keep their mind on what they are reading and not let their mind stray off the subject on to one of the tropics which is nearest their heart, food and drink. The writer advices men and women of both sexes to read Mr.

Ilaughton's book and they, will enjoy this season's games so much the more from havelng a better understanding of what Is going on and female readers a specially will mavbe learn enough to not give vent to screeks of happiness when their escort's team is getting murdered. But there is nothing in Mr. Ilaughton's book regarding the true origin of American football and where It come from and etc. and It looks like a few wds. on the subject from the undersigned would not come a miss at this junction of the yr.

So will say at the outset that the idear that our American game of football was borrowed from England is the bunkerlno and where we really got a hold of our game was the far flung fields of Galieia. To be sure the English has got officials, coachs and principle players of both sides meets irr an obscure rabbit hutch and runs through each other's signals, then run to the seen of the game in aquads of 4. Each college has its colors and just before the game there is a mad scramble to get the various ofllciale to wear the colors of thin team or that team, as who ever colors the official is wearing, he Is supposed to give that team a -shade the best of it. The Airedales Vs. Flea Bitten Poms.

At a few minutes before 2 o'clock the 2 bat men blows a buggle and the game is on. The captains of the 2 rival nines then draws straws and the longest straw kicks the flyskin to some member of the opposeing teums usually the defensive rare back. The last named then trys to reach ghoul in 4 downs but if he does It in one less it is called a. birdie. If he Js thrower hack, it is called a decisive set back, and.

the 2 bat men cuts up antics on the side lines. As soon as 1 team has scored a ghoul or a set back the 1st. i is considered practically over ami some of the more easy satisfied players goes back to the rabbit hutch to gargle. From then on it is Just a question of holding off and the one that holds off the longest is called the Touch me not which counts 3 pts. There is as many as 3 Ruggles matches played every Saturday In Galieia and the Azores, but the 'big match of the season is the one which takes place at Omaha, Galieia, the first Frida.v after Thanksgiving.

This is genally always between the Airedales and the flee bitten Poms and it is certainly insplreing to hear the rival cheering sections resound every great play of the rival dog teams with their college veils. RING W. GARDNER. Great Neck, Ixmg Island, Sept. 29.

That, she told me, was' in the year the great war commenced. Estimating from present personal appearances, Mary New-comb must have been an adorable fittle flapper at the age of seventeen, during that first year of the war. In the play at the Columbia she is still adorably the flapper. And she, contrasted against the others in her company, plays a flapper of the intelligent, soulful, worth-while kind. Miss Newcomb takes her stage work seriously, as must be expected of any actress capable of public lecturing, when seventeen years old at the beginning of a great war.

Her professional career has come notably within the Robert Edeson sphere of influence. Her first actual role was in Edeson's company, with "His Brother's Keeper," the play. "I have been in the theater five years it will be five years next month," she related. And I observed that off the stage she wore her hair as bobbed and blond and curly as on it, while her deft removal of the facial make-up gradually revealed a complexion more delicate and exquisite than any that art could eupply. A telegram lay on her make-tip table- She mentioned that it was from Robert Edeson.

"They gave me the lead in Mr. Edeson's company," she resumed, "because I was good and cheap and we were going on a tour of the South. I next played opposite Chauncey Olcott. Somehow, I have always succeeded, but I am directing my work along certain definite lines, and with artistic advancement as the one thing in view." Noticing a portrait of Robert Edeson on the table, 4 inquired whether Miss Newcomb contemplated a movie career. Mr.

Edeson has been with us in many pictures during recent years. "No," answered Miss Newcomb. "I have set a time limit for achieving certain tnings in my profession and I will have no time for pictures.

But still continued to listen to the fascinating voice.

"It seems that the close encounter of these two extremes in the trenches and on the battlefields lias stimulated and refined the masses in a way would Nave suspected. This is'most noticeable in the manner in which the lower classes take their holidays and pleasures compared with the way they used to. They travel more; they enjoy life more intelligently; tlicy indulge in fewer brutalizing pastimes, and they seem to have developed what might be called a new esthetic sense of the value life. "Now we'll return to what so much of the world calls and their masculine counterparts. I was struck by an enormous difference in the attitude to life of the new generation from the preceding one.

Voting boys and young girls alike seem to display a much lighter touch and a much more disillusioned and ironical way of taking life. They have outgrown that violent swinging of the pendulum between self-indulgence and restraint which characterizes the older generation. "There is so much talk of the present 'degenerate People are better today, especially youth, than they ever were. They are neither so bad nor so good as their THIS WEEKS OFFERINGS ON I)CAL STAGE the problems of good and evil. Fundamentally, human nature doesn't change much; but the methods of control and the knowledge of living do change considerably with every age.

The young people of England today care not for violent dissipation nor religious enthusiasm; but they have acquired an almost Greek art of enjoying themselves with delicacy and refinement." Mr. Powys' lecture on "England's Evolution" was becoming vastly interesting, but I yearned to ask him something of "Prometheus," the Aeschylus drama on which he will talk next Thursday at the Plaza, yet I could not interrupt. "England is now the living sep-ulcher of thousands of disabled soldiers. They all have a tendency to avoid drastic issues of which they had prematurely learned too much and to have become what Nature calls 'superficial out of "I talk of England, as I said before, because I know her best. But what's true of her is true of most of the world the war has forced the masses into a higher plane.

And when the immediate chaos of reconstruction is over, then a true world of democracy will have resulted." The lecturer's talk was finished. I now had my chance to "shoot" questions on the list I had mentally propounded for the past half hour. But instead I listened and listened for more of Mr, Powys' lecture on "The Evolution of the Drama" I mean England. ILLUSTRATED 50 YEARS PAST- AND 50 TO COME What Are We Here For?
