An Englishman has shown tho fer

a steamer chair that is also a Ufo

Is llko that of other steamer chairs,

Football Facing Its Doom Because of
Unnecessary and Unfair Rough
ness, Says George Hoff.
"The exlstenco of football will bo
threatened, sooner or lator, unless a
growing tendency to forget the lesson
of some years back and return to tho
practices which put tho sport on trial
for its life Is checked."
This is the recent declaration of
Athletic Director George lion' of Illi
nois university, and ono of tho best
known mon In the nthlotlo world. In
explanation ho says:
"I rofer to Unnecessary and unfair
roughness. I do not crltlc'lzo hard play
ing, and football as a mattor of fact
Is rough. But I havo notlcod a grad
ual introduction of the'samo tactics
which nearly cost the colleges their
favorite game.
"This year I have soon 'neck wring
ing.' I havo seen players drag tholr
feet over tho head of an opponent
'Piling up,' oven when easily soon to
bo unnecessary, goes unrebuked.
"The blame for tho oxlatence of this
tendency is to bo placed on the heads
of unscrupulous coachos and compla
cent gridiron officials. It Is a matter
of common report in tho football
camps of tho middle west institutions
that certain coaches mako no bones of
oncournglng their mon to lamo and to
slug if they can get away with It.
Thoir linesmen threaten and curse
their opponents, hoping to lead them
Into a display of honest and almost
Justifiable physical retaliation.
"For tho most part western ofllclala
havo ceasod to pay any attention to
unnecessary roughness. 'Let 'em
light It out Booms to bo tho Implied
attitude' of many officials, especially
tho younger ones. And tho team that
attempts, to bo square gets the worst
of It. I am a believer in football aa a
square, manly sport, If properly super
vised. I would regret to seo it lost,
but I firmly bollovo that after success
with tho new style of gamo all will go
for naught unless coaches and ofllclals
see that tho practices I mention aro
eliminated."

RECOGNIZE ONE'S OWN VOICE
Scientist Says Man Uoes Not See Him
self as Others Do, Neither Does
He Hear Himself.
Laloy, who appears to lmvo scientifi
cally investigated tho mattor nssures
us that not only does otto not seo him
self ns othors seo him, but that ho
does not hear himself as others hear
him. Somo interesting experiments
wero mado by tho Fronch saVant in
this connection, according to Loudon
Tlt-Dlts.
In order to ascertain whother a man
really know tho sound of his own
voice, Laloy has been at somo pains
to determlno the facts. Hla experi
ments show that If a person record
on a phonograph disk a few sentences
pronounced by hlmsolf, togothor with
others recorded by friends, and causes
tho machino to roproduco those, It
most frequently happons that tho man
moro easily recognizes tho voices of
his friends than ho does his own.
It appears that tho difference Ilea In
tho quality of tho tone. Ono hears
Ills own voice not only through tho
ulr, as do his auditors, but across the
solid partR botween tho organs of
speech and thoso of hearing. Tho
sound thus produced has a different
tlmbor from that conducted to tho oar
by tho air below.
If ono entertain any doubt as to
this, lot him try tho following experi
ments. Take tho end of a woodon rod
betwoen tho tooth and pronounce a
vowol continuously. Lot tho other end
bo takoi alternately T)otwecn tho
tooth and released by another per
son who at the same timo stops hla
ears, iiio latter win una mat every
timo ho seizes tho rod In hla teeth
tho sound will bo atrongor than when
It reaches tho air above, and that It
has a different quality. Tho paBsago
of sound through a solid body,, aug
ments its ltncnBlty and modtlleu Its
quality.

For tho second successive year, Princeton fell beforo tho onslaught of
Dartmouth's fighting football squad and for the secondtlme, Loudon, Dart
