But if you appear nervous or menacing the bear might mistake your hand fo-r a pickled pig's foot. :F 2? if The little lamb that follows Mary to school these days wears a jazz sweater and balloon pants.

THE COLLEGIATE IOS They are standing up, ready to fill in when a breach should appear in the ranks. They could also receive their wounds with a smile as No. 8 con- clusively shows. The strength of the game is a matter of much controversy but the fact that No. 16 has his lunch with him seems to indicate that the time of play varies and he has come prepared for a long siege. The ball they used seems to have been much the same type as the one now in use, which is shown by No. IO who seems to be in the action of straight-arming much after the fashion of the present time. No. I7 shows excellent form for the drop-kick, but why they permitted girls to par- ticipate in this dangerous sport seems to have no precedent in any other pre- historic annals of sport. For examples see No's. 1, 4, IO, 13, 17, 21. From accounts of their battles we know that several of the players entered the game with bare legs. However, we are unable to find any previous 'record of a player wearing a uniform, such as that worn by No. 20. VVhy the player who was chosen as captain for the year 1927 should appear thus, would cer- tainly prove a startling revelation to our code of ethics. lndeed our only solution to this question is that he is waiting his turn to take a bath as No. 11, who from all accounts, is removing surplus dirt accumulated in, what was then an annual classic, the Old Fellows' game, probably played on marshy ground to prevent injury. Many answers have been advanced for the fact that No. 18 is riding a horse, an animal now extinct. The most probable of these is either that the horse was used as a means of escape or that he occupied the position known as Flying XfVing , so called on account of his swift flight. Wie are able to determine the positions played by these men only in a few cases. No. I2 is known as the Hsnapperi' while from the far-away look of No's. I5 and IQ we assume that they were the stand-off halfsf, No. 3 is evidently the goal-keeper since he is standing beside a goalpost. The duty of No. 14 was, as official dispatch carrier to keep the whole team aware of the ac- tivities of the enemy and if possible to learn their plans. The name of No. 6 exactly corresponds to that of a great archeologist of this time. whose activities in the historic land of Egypt in the discovery of King Tutank- hamen's tomb brought, great fame. Vihether or not this is the same man we are unable to learn owing to the inaccuracy of the records and the ex- treme difficulty with which they are translated. ln the next issue we will continue our articles on the Life and Customs of IQ26.H The picture upon which we shall base our article is composed of about thirty people, entirely different from those just studied. ln contrast to the innocent features of these, theirs are grim and cruel, boding evil for anyone who chanced to cross their path.
