Defense Difficult.

"A defensive problem the coach
must think out is how to arrange his
men to meet line plunging game and
at the same time to meet a forward
passing game and the onside kicks.
One way out Of the difficulty has been
worked out in the summer school; in
stead OF having one stationary defense,
adopt a variable system to meet the
circumstances OF the attack. Another
consideration in relation to the defense
is how to handle the offensive end on

alone or an end and halfback could
harass the opposing end as soon as the
ball was snapped. Under the new Leg

Laundry Stamped for Identifying

In foreign countries some strange
methods are adopted for Identifying
the contents of the washtub. In some
parts OF France linen is defaced with
the whole name and address OF the
laundry stamped upon it. and an ad-
ditional geometrical design to indicate
the owner Of the property. In Bavaria
every patron Of the washtub has a
number stamped In large characters
on his linen. In Bulgaria every laun-
dry has large number Of stamps en-
graved with designs, and in Russia
the laundries mark linen with threads
worked in arrow shapes. In some
Russian towns the police periodically
issue regulation for laundries.
