Tho Matin, of that city, now makoB tho statomeat that it was Louis XIX whoso head 'fell undpr tho guillotine Tho assertion Is based on tho alleged fact that It has been discovered that tho namo of Clovls In German Chlodwlg Is sim ply tho namo Ludwlg or Louis in an old form. Hence tho threo French kings of tho namo of Clovja must ho counted wlth'tho Louis lino, and by doing this the enumeration as It Is now .recognized. Ialla jis incorrect "It was not Louis XV, but Louis XVIII who befriended Pompadour and Du Barry. Tho question as to whether tho watchmaker Naundorf was really Louis XVII Is positively decided against Naundorf, ami It is found that tho people of Paris who shouted after tho 'Hundred Days,' 'Lond Livo Louis XVIII.' should have shouted 'Vivo Louis XXII"' says the Matin.

With tho continuance of tho warm weather the mombors of the spring football Bquad will increase to the size of two toamB. With this result tho men will be put through some signal practice and also will bo taught somo formations based on tho now game. Coach Ewlng has been letting tho men bo far do pnly punting and catching tho oval. About a dozen men havo reported for practice so far since tho work began, but as soon as tho mom bors of tho student body who aro In terested In tho pigskin gamo can got their work arranged a larger Bquad will be out for work. Considerablo discussion has been aroused over the possibilities of tho new gamo and the formations which will be based on tho revised rulCB. Many men think that tho quarterback will havo to bo one of tho heavy back field men and will, do little or no pass ing of tho ball. This .will glvo four heavy backfield men, any of whom i may recelvo tho ball and carry It. Any of these men will also mako the runs which wore formerly caller quarter back runs, and tho light, uhlfty quar terback will bo abolished except In name. f; U'wmj ajM .& .Z .4 RSl .
