Draw Crowds.
Those "stag" socials havo always
drawn largo crowds. They give new
studentB, especially, a splendid op
portunity to meet their fellow class
mates and also to como in touch with
tho upper classmen. Moreover, tho
committee has arranged for a large
number of the faculty to be present
and to come in touch with tho new stu
dents. Freshmen, particularly, are
asked to make it a point to be at the
armory at eight o'clock for there are
very few occasions whore freshmen
and seniors, sophomores and juniors
gather for the express purpose of hav
ing a good time. The "stunts" are all
good. Tho speeches will, It is said, all
be worth; the time and the opportunity
to get acquainted will not como again
ithia year.
All men who are hero for the first
year want to meet the older men and
learn' tho ways of the university.
"King" Cole will be there and four or
Ave hundred fellows are wanted to
ygreot him.

NEW FOOTBALL PLAY8.
(Continued from Pago 3)
cral yearB later was to Invent a new
way of performing the play, and my
way Is probably tho father of the
many new and complex wayB In which
tho play Is performed today.
My method consisted of tho quarter
passing" the ball to a half-back as
usual, who with tho full ran across
to tho opposite sldo and transferred
tho ball to tho other half-back aa he
passed him; then kept- on going.
This latter half-back, standing still In
his tmcks, kicked the ball in the op
j'OBite dlroctlon from the way the full
nnd ilrst half were going, and the end
and quarter recovered It they having
run back of tho kicker, then out to
the sldo while the pass was being
made. This was in effect a 'delayed
kick," and was a vast improvement
over tho old quarter-back kick In that
It pulled opponents after the frfke In
terference and away from tho spot
where the ball was eventually to land.
Opened Wider Vista.
The piny opened up a much wider
vista as to the strategic possibilities
of the on-side kick, which have since
been developed to tho full.
It wns in 1901, 1902 and 1903 that
the cry for n more open style of play
began to become prolonged and In
sistent. All sorts of suggestions to
open up the game appeared In print,
some good, some bad. In 1903, after
the season, I wrote Mr. Walter Camp
of the rules committee and suggested
that if the committee really wished
to open up the game no easier or more
cortaln way of doing it could be de
vised than by allowing forward pass
ing. This opinion I also confided at
the time to sevoral of my friends and
other football exports.
Nothing came of It that year and
the "howl" grew louder. In Decem
ber, 1904, I wrote Mr. Camp again
and to the Bame effect. In Decem
ber, 1905, I wrote him again and to
the same effect and then como the
forward pass. It came with limita
tions and governing conditions, of
course, whereas my suggestion waB
general only. I meant it merely as a
hint, and the hint Mr. Camp was
broad enough to grasp, and when he
brought forth the "proposition" It was
evident to mo he had been giving my
general suggestion much careful de
tailed consideration. J. W. Helsman,

COLLECTION Of WOODS
ATTRACT8 ATTENTION OWING TO
IT8 PECULIARITIES.
BOTANY TEACHERS INTERESTED
Dye Has Different Action On the
8ame Kind of Panels Showing
Various Characteristics of
the "frees.
Dr. Bessey haB on exhibit in his or
flce a very interesting collection of
dyed wood which he intends to use
as illustrative material in a clasB on
wood during the second semester of
this year. Tho exhibit 1b arranged
In the form of small panels, each of
which Las been acted on by u dye. No
two panelB have the same appearance
and to Ihe untrained eye seem to dif
fer in kind. .n investigation of tho
back sides oi the panels, which are
not dyed, shows tnai the panels are
all made of the Bame kind of wood.
It is thought to be a fine Illustration
oi how wood may hide Itself under
different colors.
The United States government de
mands of tho men who enter the for
estry service thai they be able to tell
the different kinds of wood no matter
under what conditions it is found or
what treatment It has undergone. To
teach this will be one of the purposes
of the class in woods for whom tho
exhibit Is Intended.
Deceptive Appearance.
To illustrate how deceptive is the
appearance of wood after being treat
ed with dye Dr. Bessey tells tho ex
perience of a southern gentleman who
had a large sawmill. Whllo in St.
Louis on a business trip he entered
one of tho large furniture houses of
that city for the purpose of buying
some furniture for his home. He
found a very expensive set of mahog
any, at least so it- appeared, and was
assurred to be by the firm. Before
completing the purchaso he turned
over one of the pieces of the set and
found on its back the stamp oi his
own saw mill where nothing but logs
of the red gum tree were sawed. The
red gum tree wood had been treated
with a dye which made it perfectly re
semble mahogany.
The freshman laws are having con
siderable difficulty with Common Law
Pleading. . They should not feel dis
couraged, as all previous classes have
experienced more or less difficulty
with the subject.
