HOW EASTERN AND SOUTHERN
 TEAMS IN FEWER GAMES
 HAVE SCORED MORE OFTEN
 THAN LAST YEAR
py cnAR1.Es w. GREER

The three chief objects for which the football rules of 1911 were changed to go into effect in 1912 were, first. to eliminate tie games; second. to faeh- tate scoring, and third, to encourage open play. thus obviating the old mass formation tactics. The movement to discourage mass formations which fre- quently resulted in serious injuries to players has been in operation for some seasons. II was started by the elimi- nation of what was commonly called hiking or, in other words, disallow- ing the offensive players to push or pull in any manner the player who WAS carrying the ball.
 The first two of the objects for which the present rules were constituted have been achieved with distinct success. During the 1911 season practically everyone of the big eastern colleges played as many as one tie game. Yale and Harvard played nothing to noth- ing tie. Navy and Pennsylvania State, Navy and Western Reserves. Princeton and Navy. Army and Georgetown played tie games. Every one of these ties were to scores. thus showing little scoring as well as high aver age of tie games.

Scoring in East

This season, with the exception or one tie game played by Carlisle with Washington and Jefferson, there have been no such contests among the im- portant eastern colleges.
 comparison between the scores of the great universities of last season and this shows that here also has the change in the rules been marked sue Icess Last season Carlisle, who led the big eastern teams in the number of points scored, rolled up a total of 29s points in 12 games played. Princeton was second with a total of TIT points in 10 games, and Yale was third with a record of 9157 points in 10 games. This season in nine games Carlisle has scored a total of 34o points, Princeton 26s In seven games, and Harvard, which ranks fourth Tn number of points scored thus far this season, has scored IA points in six games Dartmouth, ranking third thus far this season in this respect, has scored 256 points in seven games against the 40 in ID games last season.
 In the south, also, is the result of tnese Iuie ehdhSes pioAhis it SFi
 Same in South
 Last season there were six tie games played among the more important southern colleges. of these six, all but one were to 0 contests. The other contest was to 5 tie between A, and M. of Mississippi and the Univer- sity of Alabama. This season there has been in the south but one tie game, and this came last Saturday when Sewanee and Georgia University fought to a 13 to 13 draw.
 Vanderbilt led all southern teams in the number of points scored last season, running. up A total of 2bs In nine games. averaging 29.9 points to the game. This season, mp 10 the Hal- yard game the Commodores have scored 34s points In six contests, or an average of 57 points to the game, thus making an average of 27.1 points more to the game than last season.
 Alabama, who scored 52 points in nine game slast season when their team lost only two games during the season, has this season. while already having lost two games. scored 147 points in seven games.
 Mass Plays Revived
 Thus in the south and east alike, the new rules have been eminently sue cessful in facilitating scoring and elim- mating tie games. And but for one change they would have greatly hand dicapped mass formations.
 This change Is the new rule which allows four downs to the offensive team in which to make the required 10-yard gain. This rule was made to aid in increasing the scoring ability of the teams,. and has aided considerably in so doing But at the same time 1t has tended to stimulte line bucks and mass formations. With four chances to make 10 yards, a hevier team can al most count upon repeated line bucks to turn the trick However, this style of play Is now being used mostly by the heavier teams, the lighter ones con lining their attack to varied style of open play offered them in the long foreward pass, the 10-yard zone behind the goal line. and other changes.

HARMON TALKS
At PRESS CLUB
Ohio Executive Bares Ideals
to Members of Press
Organization.
PROUD OF HIS RECORD

Gov. Judson Harmon. Of Ohio. spent
busy day yesterday. Going to the su-
preme Court IN the morning, he filed a
petition for leave to submit a brief on
behalf of the governors of certain States
| In the Minnesota and other 2-cent rate
cases. The issue involved in the case
Is as to the conflict Of power between the
Federal government and the State gov
ernments in regulating commerce.
The courtroom was crowded. Many
Senators and members OF Congress were
present. These crowded around Gov.
Harmon and gave him a cordial recep-
ton.
After holding several political confer
ences during the day, Gov. Harmon made
little talk In the evening at the Ma
tional Press Club. which created very
favorable impression. The governor told
with considerable feeling some OF the
thoughts that came to him as he sat in
the United States Supreme Court.
las I sat there" said the governor.
II thought Of a good many OF those in
teresting incidents which some of you
no doubt remember In those very trying
and momentous days when / had a small
share in the government. Some of them
were humorous. like the time when that

Tells of Experiences.
''It always touches me to come back to
Washington because OF that extraordi-
nary experience OF mine for two years,
when was taken Unexpectedly right out
OF a law Office and asked to undertake
what / have always regarded as in
many respects the most important and
most laborious position in the govern
ment- One OF the things I thought OF
that is quite germane. in looking back
over the many cases which I argued in
person in the Supreme Court. was that
case. which was so important in the fu-
ture-I did not realize II at the time
the Trans-M yssouri Freight Association
case, where for the first time the govern
ment secured the enforcement OF the an
>ti-trust law in the Supreme Court OF the
United States.
Then later there was the Addystone
pipe case and the knight case. Those
three cases opened the way for what has
since followed in the sweeping aside of
all Instructions to fair. honest competi-
ton to business In this country.
Those were also some of the things
thought of to-day-that IL Was my good
fortune to be the man at that particular
time to argue that case in that great
court.
The future Is uncertain, but, thank
God. what is gone is safe. It is safe in
your memories. 1t is inspiring for a
person TO think OF what is behind him.

CUTS HER THROAT,
STARVES TO DEATH
Woman Lives for Twelve Day
Without Nourishment After
Attempting Suicide.

A police mystery was solved yesterday
at an inquest at the District morgue
over the body OF Florence Martin, col
ored. twenty-eight years old. a char
woman. who lived at $40 Tenth street
northwest.
The woman was found dying In a back
room on the second floor OF the Tenth
street house about 7 o'clock Friday
morning last by inmates of the house,
who summoned an ambulance from Emer-
gency Hospital. When a surgeon ar
rived he pronounced life extinct.
The body was removed to the morgue,
and Saturday morning an autopsy was
performed. Acting Deputy Titus re-
moved a handkerchief from the woman's
neck and discovered a deep wound.
DR.. Titus also discovered that the
woman had not eaten for several days
prior TO her death. He notified police
headquarters, and Detective Evans, with
several aids. was assigned to the case.
The detectives decided the woman had
committed suicide. IL was learned that
on Sunday March IL. florence Martin
had sent her eleven-year-old sister,
Niva McNeal. away for the day. When
the child returned she found Florence
In bed with a handkerchief about her
neck.
At the Inquest it was shown that
Florence Martin had jabbed a pair Of
scissors In her throat severng the esoph-
agus. the tube through which food
and drink pass from the pharynx to the
stomach. So Florence Martin lay in bed
for twelve days. unable to nourish her
self. The food would not pass into the
stomach
With a fortitude seldom seen, the char
woman lay still, complaining only that
she had a cold. hiding her wound with
a handkerchief until she starved to death.
That was the verdict returned by the
coroner's jury.
