Show Corsets at Harvard. The ubiquitous corset has bobbed up again this time, shades of Hlnkoy and Poe! on the football gridiron. Harvard's coaches and stars are In the throes of a momentuouo struggle to attain the proper, straight-front effect, and Capt. Hurley, one of the greatest players In the East, Is In dlsTavor because he refuses re-fuses tp wear the thing. The football corset Is a laced affair of leather and white oak ribs, covered, and Is designed to protect the heart, lungs and ribs of Harvard's pets. Hurley, Hur-ley, banged, bruised and bumped from his experiences in the Pennsy and Dartmouth " games, cannot forget his chivalry, and holds that no real Harvard gentleman of the old school would wish to usurp that privilege, reserved for women of all ages In all climates, of hanging the wobbly corset over a chair-back, chair-back, and observes that whether he attains at-tains tbe coveted West Point trlmness of figure or not, he will never stiffen his backbone by the stays. Coach Wrythlnglon has advlscdi the use of the new corset. He believes tha't the protection, afforded by It Is Invaluable. Invalua-ble. In case It should be used In the game with Yale this year, the Yale saying, say-ing, "Old Ell's men will rip the corsets off those Harvard nabobs," may become literally a fact. At Yale they are predicting pre-dicting the bustle and crinoline for Harvard Har-vard In another year. |
