Just about the time a certain United States eollege football team, and especially He four-man backfield, was making the sports headlines, a novel en- titled "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" was sweeping the eountry. (Reviewers of that day --sald it was "'gne of the greatest novels of all time," "A book that would live forever," and the lke.

They were Rlmer Layden, full- back and almost ynstoppable when pe gor into full stride; Harry uhidrehers, clever quart k. and passing genius; Sleepy Jim Crowley and Don Miller, halves. * LJ * - And here's the thing that makes "this foursome worth think about in these deye when football both here and in the United States, seems to be running so largely to beef and brawn in wholesale quan- titles. Those four, who highlighted a team which lost only two games "in three full seasons, pulled down the scales--when at thelr best--for a grand tom] of only 638 pounds. - - * That's right. Laydeén, thé heaviest of the four, weighed 162; Stuhldre- ~her, 156; while Crowley and Miller balanced the beam at 160 each.

In recent years, Ca- nadian football has so slavishly fol- lowed American trends that now it's almost impossible to recognise what was once, for our money, the best and most thrilling of alt games to watch. *° * * Why, just the other Saturday when Bert Haigh, of Ottawa, out loose the lengthy punt which finally ruined Argonauts' play-off chances, spectators snd sports writers alike oke as though it were something phenomenal. , - » * It _was_a_good. punt, all rig, long, well placed, and coming at the exact moment when it would do the, most good--or "harm, de- eriding on who you were rooting for. But to those who recall boot: ers of the calibre of Gordon South- more we might mention, it was the kind of punt you expected to-see once or twice a season. - * * But what can you expect? Dur- ing the pret-couple of months, we have noticed at least 200. kids of from 12 to'17 practising, on various | corner lots and vacant fields, the recondite art of heaving and catch- ing forward passes. During the same period, we have seen just one youth practising punting. And he was doing it all alone; with nobody oven to shag his punts, let alone return them. = - » * » $0 why not let's go the whole distance and make booting the ball ~ --except on third down apdrinside your own 10-yard line--strictly il- legal. And at the same time, it might be an idea to pass a law whereby any youth who scales less than, say 185;-on reaching his 17th birthday, would be told to turn in his pads and go play lawn tennis? Ghastly Relic Of "Bonnie Earl" . Speaking in 'Radio Newsreel, Keeper of "the Records of Scotland, described some of the exhibits at the Royal Stuart Exhibition in Edinburgh: 'It is a wonderful. collection of miscellaneous rarities, including pie- jewels, coins, weapons, books, toys, and relics of all sorts. The lenders include His Majesty the King, the Duke of Buccleuch, the Marquess of Bute, and many others, and the range of selection is very wide, al- most too wide. ~~ "A very large number are asso- | ciated with the uncrowned Stuarts, Prince James Francis Edward, and Prince Charles Edward, and with the risings of 1715 and 1745. Other exhibits include fine postraits of King James IV, V, and VI, a sitver casket which containe the notori- oy casket letters, used to imeri- minate Mary Queen of $cots, and a handsome draughts and backgam- mon board which she is sal ' Ave fiiven Mary Setoh--one ¢ H "Four I [= arys." \ think - the. most memorable. things: in the exhibition are amo: those bnly remotely connected wih the Stuarts. One is the sword said to have been given by King Robert Bruce to the "Good 8ir James. 'Douglas': another is the Seton Armorial--a- book of hahd-colored goats of arms, containing --slso-- snd queens, dating from the late sixteenth century. This has never been shown in public before. 'Nor has one rather horrible relic ~ the oblong portrait of James Stuart, the Bonnie Earl of Murray, painted after his murder In 1592 as a memorial and incentive to re- venge, and incribed: "God revenge my cause." This portrait shows the Bonnie Earl life-size; full length, practically naked and covered with wounds, with his castle Donibristle blazing in the background.

These students were dressed up to represent the various types: of river rogues and thieves. who flour-: ished in_ the eighteen century. They. had a slang of their own, in those days, and the names of their nefarious professions were: as pic- turesquely villainous as their ap- pearance: 'night-plunderers,' for in- stance, and 'mud-larks' who prowled about at low water pretending to- be beachcombers, but ready to re: " 'geive goods, dropped over the sides of the ships; and then- there were the 'scuffle hunters," whose methods were to start a fight on the quay- side to divert attention from the sneak-thieving that was going on. These and other villains, such as . the long-aproned men whose clothes were full of special pockets for smuggling the stuff away, were dressed in the costumes of their time, in three-cornered hats, or stocking caps, in loose, calf-length * trousers, or breaches and stockings, with cutlasses at their belts, and they passed up the river in convoy, followed closgly by the colorful his- the Thames Police. First came a row-boat with two rowers and a surygyor--that was .the beginning of the police force. They carried staves and cutlasses, and pistols were part of the-boat's _ equipment. By 1810, almost the only "tory in pageant form, as it were, of alteration - was, that. blunderbusses ~ had been issued to the crew. The 1850 police boat had a lug sail and by. that time the crew had developed a uniform headgear. . The first steam-launch was intro- duced in -1885, with one little fun- nel and lamps not much brighter than eandles. . _.. . : The latest boat received.-by the division has two-way wireless, which is on the same networ as the pa- trolling police cars, special appar- atus for use with artificial respira- tion, new types of stretchers fdr for dragging the river, and an engine giving fourteen knots. Nowadays, there are 198 river olicemen, all told, recruited from and policemen with a special knowl- edge of ships and boats. Day and night, a patrol of eleyen launches keeps watch on a thirty-mile stretch of the Thames. Why the Door Has No Handle Best known painting by the fa- mous English artist, Holman Hunt, is "The Light of the World," which shows Ohrist standing in a g¥rderi at midnight. ' He is holding a lantern in His, left han' and His right hand is knocking on a heavily-panelled door. An art critic who was present when the picture was unveiled ap- proached Hunt and said: "Excuse me, Mr. Hunt, but surely you "haven't finished the picture? That 'door has no handle."
