Champions of the Cook County High-School Football League, 1895.]
The Hyde Park High-School team, which won the championship of the Cook County High-School League last year, was the lightest eleven in the Association, averaging but 135 pounds. Nevertheless, it managed to make the following record in the League Championship series:
Oct. 9. Englewood H.-S. 0 H.P.H-S. 12 Oct. 12. Evanston H.-S. 0 H.P.H-S. 28 Oct. 19. Lake View H.-S. 0 H.P.H-S. 16 Oct. 26. English H.-S. 0 H.P.H-S. 40 Nov. 2. Chicago M.-T.S. 4 H.P.H-S. 14 Nov. 9. Oak Park H.-S. Forfeited to H.P. Nov. 16. North Division L.-S. 0 H.P.H-S. 18 Nov. 20. West Division L.-S. 0 H.P.H-S. 16 - --- Scored by opponents 4 H.P.H.-S. 144
The Hyde Park H.-S. eleven has already gotten down to work, and on September 17 played the Chicago University eleven, losing, 24-0. In this game Ummemyer played very well at right half, making a number of gains against the heavier college men. If he is well coached he should develop into a strong player by the time the championship series closes.

There is a story told of two well-known authors, both alive to-day, that has a good deal of humor in it. It seems that one of them had published a book in which a few lines were used that had been published in the other's book some years before. Through a round-about way the unconscious plagiarist heard that he had used lines that had been published, and he hastened to the original author protesting his innocence, and hoping that he had not offended. He claimed that he must have read those lines when they originally came out years before, and they had so impressed him that he wrote them in his book believing them to be his own thought. The original writer of the lines laughed the matter off, and humorously said:
"Pray don't bother, my dear Mr. ----. To tell you the truth about those lines, it's so long ago since I wrote them that I've quite forgotten whom I stole them from."
