The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1903-10-13

ADAM HEwETTsoN, CoREELL's DEAF AND
DUMB PLAYER.
variation of the usual method of carry
ing the BAH forward This variation
is allowed in the middle part Of the
field bounded by the twenty-five yard
lines In this section the runner is
permitted to receive the ball direct
from center. He is. however. handi-
capped in two ways first. he must
run five yards to the side before cross
ing the line Of scrimmage, and. sec
ondly, there must be seven men in the
rush line
These restrictions, as is easily seen,
do not allow the runner receiving a
ball on direct pass from center to
plunge through the line. He must
make what practically amounts to an
end run Nor do they allow him to be
protected by mass play interference.
The most important change. however.
Is that whether the runner receives
the bail direct from center or receives
1t through the quarter back he must
have seven of his men in the line and
consequently cannot avail himself VI
mass play Interference until he is over
the twenty-five yard line-that is, with
in striking distance of the goal.
In the preliminary practice this sea
son more attention has been paid to
the old football than to the new for
tire reason that the methods of adj
vancing the ball when within striking
distance OF the goal are the more i'm
portant.
And so 1t was not until actual games,
with the umpire and referee. had been
played that any estimate of the new
rules was possible.
The resHlt has seemed to justify the
expectation Of those who predicted
more open play. The question wheth-
er the effect will be lasting or merely
temporary depends upon a great many
things.
The prohibition Of mass plays in the
middle of the field brings about a sud
den and exciting change the moment
enc team gets within striking dis
lance of its opponents goal. Then for
the first time tackle back plays and
similar formations are hurled at the
line.
The opponents are entirely new TO
what is coming They have no oppor-
tunity of diagnosing these scoring
PLAYS. and the chances of d team scor-
ing when it gets the ball within strik-
ing distance of the goal line is thus
materially increased.
One minor point with regard TO the
rules clearly demonstrated by the open
ing games was the practicability Of
judging the "hve yards to the side in
tile quarter back run. 1t bad been pre-
dicted that this would be a difficult
task for the referee.
On tho whole the new rules have

OF the many candidates to report fol
the football team at Cornell this fan by
far the most remarkable is Adam II.
Hewettson of Riverside, Cal Hewett-
son IS deaf and dumb yet not only is
he an excellent student and fully up to
the college requirements, but is an
athlete as well and strong as an OK.
He was on hand to report for the foot
ball team at the very beginning Of
practice. and the determination which
he has shown and his great strength
and knack for the game viii make him
a factor in the contest for positions in
the back field, despite his great handl-
cap.
When he first reported at the club
house for practice, a laughable incident
occurred. Trainer Moakley and the va
rious undergraduate candidates for as
sistant manager were there distributing
suits to the players when Hewettson
came up. Although Hewettson is an
exceptionally intelligent looking fellow,
Trainer Moakley stood aghast when he
began making known his wants on his
fingers, and Moakley, to use his own
expression, did not know what he was
'up against" but one of his assistants
knew the alphabet and quickly under
stood what the young athlete desired.
He was Immediately fitted out with
suit. and since that time he has been
shown every consideration by the
coaches

AS number Of my friends in
Old Fulton asked me to write
them, will take the liberty of
reaching them through the Ful.
ton County News.
We left Hustontown on the
morning of March II, went to
Three Springs and took the train
for Mt. Union, which place we
reached about . o'clock, and left
there at $50 in the evening for
Curwensville, Clearheld county,
which place we reached about 9
o'clock that night
The town of Curwensville is a
busy place, with the principal
streets paved with brick, and
lighted by electricity. There are
two large tanneries and a large
fire brick plant that give employ
ment to large number of men.
Work is plenty and wages good :;
but, like all towns of western
Pennsylvania, living and rents
are high.
We left Curwensvllle Monday,
March Is, at Z p. m. for Illinois.
In starting west, we went back
to Tyrone. which place we left on
Monday at 9:40 p. III. reached
Pittsburg at $50 a. M, and left
at 1;60 by my watch but by com
pairing my time with railroad
time my watch was an hour too
fast, as there is a change of time
in Pittsburg. So we really left
at 1860 a. m. for Chicago, which
place we reached at $50 p. m.
Tuesday. We left Chicago at 8
o'clock that evening for this, our
destination, which place we reach
ed in due time.
This is fine place for farming.
The land here is rolling enough
to drain nicely, and is all under
laid with coal, which sells at the
mines for six cents bushel.
If this misses the waste bas-
ket, | may write more about the
country at another time.

ALLEN CUTCHALL HURT.
Thrown From a Street Car i'm
New York CITY.

Among those who went to the
eastern cities to buy spring goods
were Merchants Allen Cutchall
and Clay Park, both of Three
Springs. They had arrived in
New York and on Monday of last
week were on a street car IN that
city.
The car being crowded, as is
frequently the case, Mr.. Cutchall
and Mr.. Park were standing on the
rear platform, when the car made
sharp turn around the corner
on Forty Second street. A strong
wind striking Mr.. Cutchall's hat
sent it flying in the air, and in
making an effort to grasp it, he
lost his balance, and was hurled
violently to the ground.
He was at once taken to Belle
vue Hospital when it was found
that his hip bone was crushed,
and the humerus wrenched from
the socket.
By the end of the week it was
felt that he might be taken home
in safety, and Mr.. Park reached
Three Springs with him last Sat
urday morning.
Mr.. Cutchall was much ex-
hausted when he reached home,
but is now resting as comfort
ably as might be expected under
the circumstances.

AN APRIL BLAZE.
Fire Destroyed Will Nesbit's Feed
Mill.

A few minutes after noon last
Saturday the cry of fire was rails
cd on the street, and glance to.
ward the west end of town be.
held volumes of black smoke roll
ing up in an ominous cloud. The
fire was in the Old Foundry own
ed by Hon. w. S. Alexander, and
occupied by William H. Nesblt as
a steam chopping and feed mill,
using his traction engine as mo-
tive power. Mr.. Nesbit as miller
and Charlie Gress as fireman had
been operating the plant up to II
O'Clock and had closed down, and
were scarcely at their respective
homes for dinner when the whole
building seemed to be wrapped
in sheets of flame.
In a few minutes the hose reel
was there, the hose attached to
the fire plug at Clevenger's cor
ner, and stream directed on the
devouring element that dampen-
cd it's ardor in short order. BY
the aid of the hose they were
able to protect the other build
ings near, and thus avert what
would, owing to the high north
west wind, nave been a calamity
to this place. Thomas F. Sloan s
stable and that of Geo. w. Hays
were both on fire, but promptly
extinguished with no loss worth
mentioning. The foundry build
ing and the machinery and gram
therein were totally destroyed.
The loss is partly covered by in

yearold Durham steer, sham
bled down the bank into the pike
and leisurelv crossed into the
woods below. They happened to
to be loaded for "bar," and John
whipped gun from his hip pock
ct, and then held the horse while
Alex alighted and gave chase !;
but as John did not want to miss
the train Alex didn't go into the
woods.
They, however, marked the
place and went on to the toll-gate,
where they informed the gate
keeper and his brother, Frank
and Harvey McFadden, who went
in pursuit of the bear, but with
out success. Saturday evening
the McFadden boys were joined
by George w. Seylar of the Gap,
and they succeeded in locating
Mr.. Bruin IN his den in a ledge of
rocks.
After carefully planning, it fell
to Seylar's lot to go in and pull
the bear out, and the McF'adden
boys were to see to it that the
bear did not escape. When
George crawled in the bear did
not seem in any mood to crawl
out, and so George opened fire on
him and killed him.
They got team and hauled
the bear to Foltz whose citizens
by this time We're thoroughly ex-
cited and several hundred people
collected to see the prize.
Jake Fendrlcks, the enterpris-
ing landlord of the Mansion
House, Mercersburg, heard of
the capture and telephoned the
boys asking what they would
take for it.
'Thirty dollars, said the boys.
TOO much, said Jake, 81
can't stand that: if you will take
twenty cents a pound for it un,
dressed, send it in"
They sent it in.
AS 1t weighed $50 pounds, Jake
concluded that it would have been
better had he taken the offer
made by the boys.
