The football season of 1906 marked
the change in style of the play used
by different teams. The game was
new to coaches and players alike. The
forward pass, the improved quarter
back kick and other things made a
new style of defense necessary. A few
years ago the single line defense with
the half back smashing and the end
tackling was in general use. In 1904
the double line defense was intro
duced. In this style the ends smash
the opponents interference while the
backs, who stand Ave yards to the
rear of the line of scrimmage, come
up quick and tackle the runner. This
was the style that was fully perfected
last year.
This season the coaches will de-
velop many new plays which were I'M
heard OF last year. There are unlim-
tied possibilities in the use ca the for
| ward pass, while the quarter back
kick is always dangerous. Will the
present style of defense in general use
by teams in the west stop these new
plays?
This remains for the season to
show. All the coaches in this state
are watching closely the work Of VIII
liams, Stoy and Yost, the three great
coaches OF the west What will these
great wizards invent to overcome the
ten yards that must be covered In
| three downs?
One season under the new rules
barely opened the door for the new
plays that were brought forth. The
season of 1907 will go down in foot
ball history as season of develop
ment of the new game.
Do not think because the new gam'
is more open that the day Of the lint
bucker is past. 1t is not. Wheneve
short gain is necessary of two 0
three yards, say, then the quartz
back calls on the old reliable lin
bucker, and takes no chance on ru1
ming the end A kicker who is quic
and sure is in greater demand tht
season than ever.
This was shown by the work
Garrells, Frurip, Eckersall, "Cooly
Clark and Hare last year. These me
were called on time and again to kic
the ball out of danger when it was in
possible to gain the required tie
yards. The backs must be defensiV
players. The double line defense d
mands it. This was shown in 1906 .
the work Of such men as Schuknech
Of Minnesota, and Steffen, of Chicag
These players were not only good G
offense, but powerful on defense.
The season of 1907 should brir
forth many new and startling play
1t will undoubtedly develop a mo
powerful defense, while from Il
spectators point of view the gan
| in its open form will be much mo
| interesting.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. S.-The Democratic State Executive Com mittee met at noon today and de- clared Congressman John Sharp Williams the party nominee for the United States Senate.
 Thecanv of the returns show ed d majority of GAS votes for Williams, the totals being as fol lows:

 There will be no contest over the result.
 After a short caucus between the two factions it was finally agreed to abide by the semi off cial returns as furnished Secre- tary of State Power from the va rious counties, and which show that Mr. Williams has majority of GAS votes. The motion to de clare Williams the nominee was seconded by the friends Of Gov ernor Vardaman.
 The committee then formally declared MT. Williams nominated for United States senator, and this is considered final settle ment of the now celebrated con test.
 Governor Vardaman conceded the nomination of MT. Williams by sending the following note to the committee:

Dardanelle, AugS The closest surveillance and most vigilant guarding of all the passes leading out of the territory in the Dard- anelle bottom, where Ed. Smith (who was seen with Dr. Lindley the night before he was thrown into the river), is supposed to be in hiding, was kept up through out the entire night last night, but failed to detect the fugitive. Various reports came over the different. wires to various points, enc being from Casa, to the effect that Smith had been seen at that place at II D. m., and another that he had been seen early the morning before coming up the Dardanelle road.

 He is described as a man of perhaps 35 or 40 years of age, 6 feet tall, weighing about 18O pounds, keen black eyes and black hair, with dark complexion, and probably has a moustache, which may now be shaved off.
 Sheriff John Hatley, of Pope county, is in active command of the searching forces. He will probably send for blood hounds this evening.
 It is said that when Smiths wife, upon his return, told that the dead body of Dr. Lindley had been discovered, and that he was being hunted, he (Smith) broke down and cried bitterly, and then asked for all the cooked victuals on the place, which he wrapped up in bundle, saying as he departed that he was going to get away if possible.

On Monday night, workmen will begin putting in the new force pump at the power house, and during the progress of this work, it will be necessary to cut off the water supply of the entire town. It may not require more than 12 hours to do the work, and it may take longer. Therefore, notice is hereby given to all pa irons of the water plant that be- ginning at : o'clock Monday night no water can be used until the work of putting in the pump is finished. This condition is caused by reason of a failure to put in a cut off valve at the power house when the mains were first laid. Eight workmen will push the placing of the pump as fast as possible,
