QUARTERBACK NO
LONGER NEEDED
New Football Rules Do Away with tn e
Time Honored Position.

The quarteback hitherto the most
conspicuous and most important posi-
ton on a football team. is a thing
OF the past. The new rules have done
away with all those features of the
game which made such a position nee
essary. Since the inauguration of foot
ball, spectators have been accustomed
to hear little man shout his signals
crouch behind the center and then put
his football machine in motion as he
received the ball from the center and
then passed it to one or other of his
team mates, as the signal directed. He
was the life, the vitality. the brains
of the team. On his headwork in Sc
lecting plays. on his handling of the
ball and on his ability to instil spirit
and fight into his team mates. large
ly depended victory or defeat.
The practical reason why one man
has been played in the quarterback
position, in advance of the other backs,
has been because originally the man
receiving the ball from the snapback
was not permitted under the rules to
run with it across the line of scrim-
mage Half a dozen years ago a rule
was passed permitting him to advance
the ball, but with the restriction that
he must cross the line of scrimma ge
at least five yards from the point
where the ball was put in play. This
necessitated the use of the quarter
DdCk lOE Ill ire pluISeS
Under the new rules the man receiv-
ing the ball on the snapback may adj
vance it at any point. The necessity
for the quarterback is therefore gone.
The handling of the ball by an inter
mediate man necessarily takes time
and makes fumbling more likely SO
that now that the necessity for it has
been removed, the quarterback position
Will exist no more.
The rules require that the team hay-
ing the bali shall have al least seven
men on the line of scrinmage This
leaves four men for the backdsld-
There Will doubtless be much expert
menting With these men before the
most effective method CT lining them
up will be discovered. The most OBJ
vious plan would, Of course. be to
line them up four abreast. But in Or
der to kick or forward. pass under the
new rules the player must be at least
five yards behind the line of scrim-
mage
TO play all four men the required
distance back would mean a ccnsidera-
bic loss Of time in reaching the line for

Bringing Back the Morgan Horse.

Thirty years ago half the farmers
of the country we truly believe. were
ready to resort to fists to back up
their claim that their horses were of
Morgan strain. No matter if the live
stock were as heavy as Norman draft
animals, long or short of body. big
headed or little. broad or buiided up
on curve like a hogback railroad.
1t was Morgan breed and that settled
it so far as argument went.
This idea. so deeply engrained IN
the minds of owners of horses, finally
made a joke of the strain. 1t fell in
to disrepute at horse, shows and show
rings There were breeders who de-
clared with conviction that the Nor
gan horse was extinct-and with very
good reason
Back in 1857. D. C. Linsley wrote:
IF animals are selected for breed
ing which can make the best time in
a mile we think the tendency will be
to depreciate the value of the breed.
Bred for that one purpose, they Will
lose some of their compactness. be-
come more leggy and rangy and lack
. the stamina of the true Morgan.
1t was thus that the downfall of the
Morgan strain began, just as the
shrewd Linsley forecasted. AS the
courage, the fine gait and the en-
durance of the Morgan disea ppeared
so fewer and fewer persons knew what

Freed from the ceaseless toll and strife,
They rest in honored grave.

The roar Of battle is o'er;
The broken lines, the thousands slain
Will never hear it more.
They rest beneath the silent clay
On this fair Memorial Day.
The "long roll call" disturbs them not,
In their bivouac Of night.
They sleep away till reveille
Shall wake to Heavens light.
We kneel beside the grave to pray,
On this fair Memorial Day.
Sleep on, ye heroes, in silent tomb,
Till that glad day shall come
When sweeter strains than muffied drum,
Will call you to your home
Where clouds Of war will ne'er hold

On that fair Memorial Day.
