and defensive strength In foot
ball this is much more difficult. OF
course one could add up all the
yards team won or lost. or that
any individual player had made or
lost; also how. many first downs
they had made and the like. These
figures from the standpoint of the
individual are seldom impressive,
because in football the individual
can do hardly anything without the
active assistance Of his teammates.
In baseball the players hit the ball
alone, or field it alone, or steal the
base alone. which is another thing
entirely,

scored against it to date Papers
everywhere publish from time to
time a list of the scores of va
rious football teams. and the only
way they have ever, as yet. ar
ranged them is to put in the order
Of points they have scored. This,
while interesting enough as far as
ii goes, tells only one thing about
the teams
The points that team has scored
are to its credit: the points scored
against it are to it's discredit Sure
ly there is a relation between its
merits and it's dement's, as there is
in every other kind of game.
Why not express that relation
ship either in, fractional or in deci-
NAL form?
For instance: Suppose X team
has scored in its games to date 100
points, while points have been
scored against it, Then 100 is the
numerator of its fraction, while s
is the denomination, and the deci-
NAL quotient. which indexes its
whole ability Offensive and defen-
sVe strength combined) is repre-
sented by the division Of 8 into 100.
or 1850.
BY this method we would learn
that some teams that had scored
quite lot of points did not have
nearly so high combination per
centage as some others which had
not scored so many points. but
which, on the other hand. had not
been scored upon so frequently.

OF the country into even good gravel
roads. That this is desirable few will
gainsay, and that it is becoming nee
essary under modern conditions and
the relations now existing between
producer and consumer is also quite
generally admitted. The increased cost
of hauling over unimproved roads is
an immense tax upon the farmer and
those who purchase his products, and
Is restriction on the crops which
can be raised and moved in certain
localities.
The Interstate Commerce commits
sion finds that two hundred and sixty
five million tons of agricultural, forest
and miscellaneous products of the
land are hauled to depots for ship
ment in the course of a year. Figured
on a basis of the average haul at the
lowest average rate over unimproved
roads, % cents per ton per mile, the
cost would be four-hundred-thirty
Two millions, four hundred thousand
dollars. If the hauling could be re-
1uced to one-half the present average
or II nc a ton, the resultant saving
would exceed $2OO000,0OO a year.
That such a saving is reasonable is
indicated by the experiences in other
countries and in localities where i'm
proved roads are found. The cost OF
hauling on such improved roads is
placed at from 8 to 10 cents per ton
The introduction of wise and equit'
able road laws and good business
management would, 1t is estimated

On the way home they fell to dis

Some Startling Facts Given Regard
ing Unimproved Thoroughfares
In tho United States.

There are in the United States a
little more than two million one hun
dred and fifty thousand miles of
roads. OF this mileage only one hun
dred and seventy-six thousand, four
hundred and Twenty-Five miles are
improved. or eight and two-tenths per
cent Of the total, according to Stats
tics gathered by the government office
OF public roads. The improved roads
are those surfaced with gravel, stone,
or with some special material
The most striking feature of these
statistics is the enormous extent Of
unimproved roads In the United
States. An expenditure of something
like $3,O00,000,000 would be required
to convert the common earth roads
