Opinions differ as to the merits OF
new football. In view OF the deduc-
lions from the Case Michigan game
last week, this comment from an ex'
pert down east is interesting
New football received a very fine
yindication last week, when one takes
u general view OF what happened In
the leading contests that were played.
Although the season Is nowhere near
the championship" period as yet. the
varsity elevens were not bit hesitant
about disclosing tricks that In past
years would have been religiously
stored up till the climax OF their
schedules on the gridiron.
Even up to last season one saw but
very little OF the spectacular open
play that comes with the variations.
worked by means OF the forward pass
in the early season games against the
minor teams. The big Four were
in the main content to confne them
selves In these preliminary tests to
what was known as straight foot
balr' unless they were caught In a
tight place. Then they we're willing
to open up all their batteries and let
the scouts from their strongest rivals
see practically all they had in their
repertoire.
This season. however, II has been
different Right from the start there
was evidence that the major teams
realized the necessity Of developing
IN competition the open game to Its
faIlest extent because Of the difficulty
IN advancing the ball by line plunges,
now that pushing and pulling run
nor with the ball Is no longer the prop
er thing.
The result OF this Is that the minor
games have taken on lot OF interest
that they lacked before. Take the
One-sided contests that Princeton and
Pennsylvania played against Villanova
and West Virginia, for instance. The
spectacular forward passes and end
running always kept the spectators
interested because of the daring that
was Invested In the plays. to say moth

tically always In view. Games that

be assured by enough baseball men

IT'S A JOKE ON COBB,
GEO. BARTON DECLARES

Even IL the St. Louis men did per-
NIT Lajoie to get away with eight
hits, II IL q pretty good joke on Ty
Cobb, who deliberately remained out
of the games on Saturday and Sunday
so that his batting average would not
suffer. The Georgia Peach" was
leading by a small margin Saturday
morning and the last games OF the
season would decide the champion
ship. Lajoie must be given credit
for being game enough to go into the
final contests and take a chance on
his batting average being crimped.
While an idol Of the fans, Cobb Is
perhaps the most unpopular man with
other baseball players that ever wore
a spiked shoe. The majority OF play
ers are glad that Lajoie won the auto
mobile Hence the charges by Cobb's
adherents that the st. Louis players
did not try very hard to kill of the
Nap stars hits.--Geo. A. Barton, in

WORK THAT MUST BE DONE
Impossible to Regulate the Hours Of
Labor That the Farmer
Must Put In.

The city man who goes to farming
will find that there are times, inter-
mittent, 1t is true, but often sufficient
ly prolonged, when he will have to
work as he never did before. 1t is of
no use for him to say that eight hours
day is long enough for man to
work. 1t may be long enough for his
physical wellbeing, but he must pillow
and SOW and NOV at the right time,
and he must make hay while the sun
shines. He Is working in collabora-
ton with nature, and the pace that
she sets is made without regard to the
rights of the laboring man or the
eight-hour law. On our own farm, for
instance, my sons and l have often
been tired for weeks together; not the
pleasant fatigue that wears off in a
night of refreshing sleep, but the
deep-seated WEAKNESS of overwrought
muscles and too long hours that is
present even when one rises in the
morning, and is thrown off only after
a few hours of labor when one has
warmed up" to his work.
This is part of the price that must
be paid for freedom and the privilege
of working for ones self and not for
another.-David Buffum in the At
lantic.
