It is felt in Cambridge—particularly by the students of the undergraduates schools ~-that the present game of foot ball Is not for them, nor can it be made so regardless of any changes which may be made In the rules.

BODIES OF FIVE GIRLS FOUND recognisable Remains of Victims of Factory Fire in Philadelphia Recovered. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 17.—All doubt as to the fate of the five girls who were re- ported missing last night after the fire ai | Shrack & Sherwood's factory was removed late today when the five bodies were found on the third floor of the damaged buflding. The charred and dismembered remains were discovered under & mass of debris near the rear of the factory, thus showing that the girls evidently had en- deavored to reach the rear fire escape when overtaken by the flames. The bodias were so charred that it was impossible for the haif-crazed and frantic parents, who followed the dead wagon to the morgue, to identify them, except by pleces of jewelry worn. The body of Mar- garet Smith was recognized by a chain and locket which she wore, and that of Kva Arata by an engagement ring. The other bodies at the morgue are those of Katie Schealy, Louella Porter and Loulsa Camae, but thelr identity feature is praetically impossible, Including Fireman Joseph Tomer, Who ‘was suffooated, six persons are known to have perished.
