LAND SHOW Will
Give MANY PRIZES
St. Paul Association Of Commerce
Offers Silver Trophy Cups.
BEST EXHIBITS WILL WIN

Business interests of the Twin City
and Those Interested in the Devei-
opment of the American Northwest
Contribute Prizes Worth Thousands
of Dollars to Encourage Exhibition
of Products at Land Show in St.
Paul December IL to %.
Exhibitors from every state at the
Northwestern Land Products Show in
st. Paul Dec. IL to 23, will be given
an opportunity to compete for more
than fifty valuable silver trophy cups
offered for the best displays, twenty
of the trophies being given by the st.
Paul Association of Commerce.
This announcement was made by
the management of the Land Show
and the Association of Commerce this
week. Accompanying the
ment is the statement explaining how
the trophies are offered.
LAS the Land Show in St. Paul is
an enterprise given by the states Of
the American Northwest, individual
competition is almost eliminated by
necessity" says the statement. "The
trophies are therefore offered to the
commercial clubs, communities or
states first. Another class of prizes is
offered for the growers furnishing the
best samples to their state or sectional
exhibits. 1t is not desired that any
individual make an exhibit at the
Land Show except as the samples ar.
furnished those who are collecting and
preparing the state and sectional ex-
hibits. The name of the grower may
appear on each of these samples. The
trophies in this class, of course, will
go to the grower furnishing the sam
pies, but competitors must make all
entries with those in charge of the
state or community exhibits in their
own states and not through the Land
Show management
The offering Of fifty trophies is on
a par with other things about the St.
Paul show. 1t is perhaps the largest
list of trophies ever offered by a Land
Show.
These states and their individual
contributors, commercial clubs and
communities will have the opportunity

combination of strength and agility,
his chances of making good" are few.
The coaches already are taking adj
vantage Of the change in the penalty
for an uncompleted forward pass. and
there is every reason to believe the for.
ware pass will be used more this sea-
son that it has been at any time since
the play was introduced. With the
penalty calling for the ball to be put
in play at the point of the preceding
down instead of at the point of the
pass coaches and players are certain
to take more liberties with the for
ward pass than they have taken at any
time since the play was adopted
Under the old rule when a forward
pass was uncompleted the ball vas
brought back to the point Of the pass
and a penalty of a down inflicted. AS
there still remains a rule which reads
that a forward pass must be made
from a point at least five yards back
of the line of scrimmage. it is appar-
that the penalization for an I'M
completed forward pass will bring the
ball at least six to ten yards back OF
its original position. AS there is moth
ing to lose under the present rules for
the failure to complete a pass. the
coaches are taking advantage of every
possibility within the rules to perfect
plays by which the forward pass will
be successful.
Another play coaches are enthusiast
tic over is to take away the quarter
back from his original position and line
him up on a parallel liLe with the
backs. In doing away with the quar-
ter it means the pass must be made di-
rectly from the center to the man who
Is to carry the ball. and the function of
the quarterback is to be another cog
In the interference.
In this connection it must be admit
ted the quarter lends less value to the
play in that the different formations

have II the ball were passed through
the hands Of the quarter first and then
