HELP THE RUNNER IS
KEYNOTE OF GRIDIR0N
Team Work the Most important
Point in Success of the
Football EIevens

The football season is forging for
ward. Games are being played and
the daily practices are becoming
harder. AS expected, the new rules
are giving coaches and captains untold
worry. Gallons Of midnight oil are
being consumed in an attempt to find
evasions of the spirit of the different
clauses. The flying tackle, forward
PASS and onside kick are receiving
more than their share of attention.
The sharps tell US that November Will
see the teams proficient in the revised
style of play. So far SO good.
But the early season signs promise
trouble from an unexpected source
The first scrimmaging has uncovered
the danger signals viii this new
game be a detriment to team play!
Results to date show a possibility OF
such condition being reached. IN
dividual feats have characterized the
season to date. OF course, team play
is never developed at such an early
stage in the season. But this year the
causes are different.
In previous campaigns coaches have
nodded thier machines slowly Inc
finer parts of the mechanism did not
click smoothly until late October The
absence of team play was willed by
the coaches. They wanted their prod
ucts to acquire power by degrees. This
wear there is a rule in the playing
code that will have undoubtedly det-
rirnental effect on team work. 1t is
the clause stating that pushing or
pulling the man with the bal! is IL
legal.
Too much stress cannot be placed on
this point Help the runner" 1t has
been the keynote of football success
for years An eleven with real team
work always had flock of men about
the man with the ball, pulling and
hauling him along after he was in the
arms of opponents. 1t had get to-
eether'' feature that fired the whole
team. Championship eleyens "helped
the runner better than other leans.
Already the results of this1restrlc-
tion are making themselves felt. III
has shown itself in the drills at Xale'
princeton and Harvard as well.
or course, the rule is stih1ng Ine
mass play 1t was expected to. The
committee adopted it for that reason.
Bnt II promises to have more FAR
reacbing effect and clog the entire Of
fensive strength of team. Help the
,nnner'' was the keynote of team work
On the attack, and it will require
1ot of hard and intelligent coaching 10
obtain the same results this year with
the handicap in question.

Dry Farming of Desert Lands

From the National Monthly.
 One of the pertinent problems before the nation today Is the feeding of It's mil lions. and the greatest genius of the cen- tury has been utilized with phenomenal success in making productive the erst- while desert places of the United States Irrigation has been a most important 1ac- tor: but close beside 1t, walking hand ln hand with it, Is the remarkable dry farming. a system of agriculture that had made productive land which had for cen turtles been considered unfit for farming
 Much misapprehension has been rife re- garding dry farming and, perhaps at the outset the use of the term dry farming will clear up much of the misunderstand- ing of this method of cultivating semi-arid tracts. Irrigation Is a system of watering land with ditches by artificial means ] while dry farming is a process of retain ing the moisture in a natural soil reser- voir from waste in evaporation and per- collation., and securing 1t in the suo-soli for the nutriment of crops.
 Although not generally known and but little understood, dry farming is not an innovation. It has been carried on suc- productive experiments have been made in most of the desert countries of the world. In southern California dry farm ing has been successfully operated since 1850, while in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas and the Dakotas 1t has gone be- yond the experimental stage.

The holdup occurred on Ave- nue c and Twenty first street. liar greaves' cries brought him assistance, and he was found to be so badly cut that he was taken to the hospital, where his injuries were attended to. According to his statement, the three negroes ac- costed him and demanded his valuables. He refused and showed fight. The ne- groes held him. One prevented him from making an outcry. another one slashing him several times with a knife. They then knocked him down and robbed him of about $15. He could give no descrip- ton of his assailants.

WEAK BANKS MUST
 GET HELP OR QUIT

Washington, September 14-During the next few weeks the few national banks in the United States which are rated as weak" will have their last chance to strengthen themselves or get out of busi- ness.
 The little army of 105 examiners through which the goevrnment feels the pulse of national banks has been in- structed to carry that ultimatum to ev- cry board of directors that needs It. The statement of the condition of every national bank in the country at the close of business on September 1, now being | compiled, will be the last chance for any national bank to show It's capital unim- paired, any reduction of its reserve under
 the limit, any bad paper in its vaults, or | any concealed liabilities The powers
 which the national bank law confers on | the Comptroller of the Currency are ab- l solute.
 Acting on the principle that 1t Is bet | ter to liquidate a weak bank, pay off the
 depositors and save some of the invest ment for the shareholders, Comptroller
 Murray will use all the authority of his | office to compel sound banking in the strong institutions and force the weak | ones to strengthen or retire.

Missouri Republican Platform

Jefferson City. Mo, September 14.-The republican party of Missouri adopted a platform today that has leaning toward progressive" ideas, after a warm con- test.
 The fight was over the indorsement of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law and the mentioning of former President Roose- welt.
 Gov. H. S. Hadley, who is known as progressive insisted that the former President be mentioned as the man who established the policy of conservation.
 In return for this the names of Repre- sentative Payne and Senator Aldrich were written In the tariff plank. The democratic platform was framed without prolonged debate. Both conven- tions adjourned after adopting the plat form.
