that oftentimes, a play of this ap- pearance may require a great deal of practice, and very hard practice, in order to develop the deception, for an opposing defensive player may be thrown ever so slightly out of line as to make it necessary for him to check his momentum and recover be- fore starting in another direction. It may mean for the attack just that amount of leeway necessary to get a runner through at the point which this man, had he not been thrown off his balance, would have certainly pro- tected.
 Most of the shift plays, both of last year and the earlier ones, depended upon this very slight but very quick deception practiced upon the defense, and with the premium so greatly in- creased by the very fact that plays of the old-fashioned form are no long CT useful it is probable that we shall see a greater development along this line than has ever taken place be- fore in a single season.
 For this reason the work of teams in adding forward passes to deceptive line attack will be watched with spe- cia1 interest
 On the whole, it looks as if the rules were better understood with the very slight changes that have been made, and will be susceptible of more under standing interpretation than they were at the beginning of the season of 1910.

French Nation Owns Vast Area on the
 African Continent

| Now that the governments of Great
 Britain, Germany and France, urged on by the capitalists of these coun- tries, are qllaTreling over Morocco, ar article of Edgar Allan Forbes in the
 Review of Reviews is interesting as
 showing to what extent France is in
 terested in Africa. Forbes shows that her holdings there are much larger than most persons are probably aware l He says: Nearly everything in Africa is to- day dominated by three great over l Iords-England, France and Germany Great Britain and France together | control about two-thirds of the con- | tinent, the British third by far the more important. Germany owns 3 small part of the remaining third, but it's steamship and trading interests entitle it to a voice in all African councils
 'sVery few Americans realize the vastness of the French empire in the Dark Continent-mainly for the reason that Americans read English and the English do not use much ink in the glorification of French colonization. Here are some geographical facts that will give an imperfect conception of the area covered by the Tricolor in Africa.
 seThe traveller who starts southward from Algiers and travels in a straight line until he reaches the limit of French territory will cover a distance equal to that between New York city and Santa Fe, New Mexico. If he should start from Dakar, on the west coast, and go eastward until he reach the Anglo French boundary, he would 20 as far as from Pittsburgh to San Francisco Diagonally from Tangier to the southeastern corner of the French domain, the distance is equal to that from New York city to Port land, Ore.
 Divide this great composite area up into it's component parts and fit them into a map of the United States and we have something like this: Tunis covers North Carolina. Algeria blots out the States of New York, New Jer- sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky. Morocco is as large as Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida combin- ed. French West Africa includes enough real estate to make twenty five States like Kentucky. French Guinea is as big as Oregon and the Ivory Coast colony is twice the size of Michigan. Into the small colony of Dahomey could be placed six New iHampshires. The French Kongo cov- CTS the big State of Illinois eight times. And we have left the Great Desert and it's nomad people; the Sa- hara alone is nearly as large as the whole of the United States If we count in the little French colony iso- lated on the Red Sea and add the French island of Madagascar, we have something Nike 38,0O0,000 Africans who are citizens or subjects of France. About S0,O0O,000 of these are Moham- medans."

INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE

By the vote of all the managers at the meeting of the Industrial league, last evening, the league refused to be brought into the confusion over Sum- day baseball. The league was in re- ceipt of a communication from the local committee agitating a liberal Sunday asking the organization to appoint a committee to confer with placed the communication on the table as the managers were opposed to hay ing the league connected in any way with the matter. Five years ago when the league saw its inception it's main object in formation was to show it's opposition to Sunday baseball. That object has since received a natural death. The league managers favor Sunday baseball, but as the league does not play ball on that date, the officials could not see why they should be brought into the conflict
 Treasurer Bob Kinder read part of his annual report which is still in- complete due oto the delinquency of some of the managers in turning in their receipts. There is a balance on hand of S204 with two games yet to be heard from.
 ' As the trophy committee was unable to report relative to the distribution of prizes, no action could be taken. The official scorer has yet to conn pile a number of averages which de- lays the work of the committee The meeting adjourned until Sept. IA when the affairs of the league will be brought to an official close and ar engagements made . for an elaborate celebration to publicly wind up the seasons affairs.

A BALLAD OF WELCOME.


 A pleasant stir is in the air, The atmosphere is glad and gay, The very town seems debonair AS we pursue our daily way; A stealthy interest we betray, And glance the pavement up and down.
 An, yes! the sight will well repay The Summer Girl is back in town! We gaze admiring as we dare, Nor let our glance our thoughts con vey:
 Though tempted openly to stare, Our better instincts we obey, Discreetly we our steps delay. Half minded to incur a frown. Truly it is a brave display The Summer Girl is back in town! You have been fitting everywhere Since you deserted us last May; Your absence we have had to bear, Though overlong you seemed to stay But now you're here, in glad array In tub frock and in tailor gown, In serge and linen and pique- The Summer Girl is back in town!,
 LENVOI. Oh, goddesses, we own your sway, Ye maidens of a duslxy brown! It is with thankfulness we say The Summer Girl is back in towni

Walter Camp Discusses New
 Football Rules

In viewing the prospects of the Noarious football teams for the season of 1911 it is we'll to run briefly over the work of the fall of 1910, and con sider not only the indications therein put forward ip the way of individual development, but also the outlines of team play and strategy that were foreshadowed by the attempts of coaches and captains to devise ground-gaining plays under the very strict Limitations of the changed rules says Walter Camp, Yale's football adviser and secretary of the 1911 American intercollegiate football rules committee.
 Pristine excision of pushing and pulling rendered the problem of at- tack far more complicated At the same time it placed a greater pre- mium upon individual performances in the back field. It was contendei and rightly, that some of the best team plays of the past consisted in the aid thus rendered the runner not only in getting him through the line, but in aiding him after he had passed that bulwark of the defense
 To a good old-time player nothing was prettier than the gathering of men about the runner, seizing him,

RAIN CHANGES
 COSTLY BEDDING
 ROAD TO DITCH
Rev. Elliott w. Boone Will Ac cept Call to Christ Episco-
 pal Church

Bedding, Aug. 31.-JuSt as we were becoming convinced that the new Ridge road was something to which we might point with pride it under went a test which showed that our optimism had been unwarranted. The test was the several days rainfall. Had the same quantity of moisture come down rapidly the nicely crown ed roadway would have shed it into the gutters and off through the drain age outlets. Coming, however, in drizzlyN fashioned it gradually soaked and into the substratum until the latter became of mushy consistency and by Monday morning auto wheels and the wheels of loaded wagons were sinking through and furrowing as if the $6,5OO highway were road These conditions did not of course permit where there was stone foun- dation, but stone had been laid on only about one-third of the mile long section. So deep was the mire near the Ridge school house that team more dam got stuck there. The "squashjng'' out of the dirt portions of the road only fulfilled the predic- tions made by the writer and others when the construction plans became known. The job seemed to have
 
 road stood the earlier tests of wealth CT and travel so we'll that it was hoped the original forebodings would prove unfounded. The road has not yet been accepted by the State high way department, but there would seem to be no good reason for its non-acceptance. All who noted the progress of the construction work agree that the contractors did the work painstakingly and strictly in conformity with the specifications The gravel used was not of the best quality, but it was the best obtain able and any kind of gravel would have gone down with the collapse of the supporting material. The fault therefore lies with Commissioner wrong kind of plans. The telford sections of the road are all right and of this style of construction it has three times the amount required by the original plans the rest having been subsequently, authorized by req son of protest and appeals. Taking the job altogether it is another good sized blot upon the commissioners spotty record.
 A call has been extended by Christ Episcopal church to Rev. Elliott W. Boone and as he has verbally signi- fled his willingness to accept he will probably become the church's next rector. The tentative engagement only awaits the approval of the archdea- con to be effective. Such approval is not essential but if it were refused the parish, in case it secured MT. Boone would lose the allowance it now receives from the archdeaconry. MT. Boone is now rector of the Epis- copal church of Milford, a young man and married. He preached here two weeks ago last Sunday and made a highly favorable impression.
 The tax accounts shortage is final ly a closed incident. Last Saturday First Selectman Charles Sanford re- ported to his associates the receipt from ex-Collector E. T. Gorham of a check for $1,034 in full settlement of the latter's indebtedness. At the same session of the board an order for
