THE most important change of
the year will be the fact that
four downs. instead of three, will
be allowed to make ten yards,
This seems a simple sort of a
change. But it makes all the diff
ference in the world. 1t means that
any team with the weight and
strength can make the distance
right through the line Beyond any
question, there will be a reversion
to the old line -plunging. grinding
game of ten years back--a game
intensely inferior to the more open
game we have had in more recent
years.
OF course, in many ways the
game has been modified since 1902
and has been somewhat opened up.
1t should be better game this fall
than it was then. But it will lack
a whole lot of being the ideal game.
THE change in the football code
L has again wiped the small col
lege off the football map In recent
years small college with light,
fast team, was as likely to be heard
from as large one Now the col
lege which can recruit the most
beef and brawn-and that always
means the big college-will have
the advantage.
If this change persist. Tech will
always be a second rater, Georgia
will always be dangerous and Van
derbilt will always hold the S. l.
A A. supremacy.
IT HERE'S one grand thing about
football-no amount of regu-
lating and no code. no matter how
bad, can materially hurt it, and
nothing has ever happened yet to
keep it from being the greatest of
American college games.

Yes said the coaches; 1T wins

THE experts said that the defect
in the 1912 rules was that it
strengthened the defense to the
point where nobody could score.
This defect wasn't notably appar-
ent in the South, where good
scores were run up in about the
average number Of games and
where the best teams generally
won. But it was in the East.
Now. whether the fault was with
the rules or with the coaches, we
don't pretend to say. Somehow we
sort of half suspected the coaches. j
OF course, it is entirely possible for
the rules committee so to strength
en- the defense as TO make scoring
impossible. They could provide that
the side in possession of the ball
could sit on it and as long as the
defensive side sat on it the often
siVe players could not come within
ten feet of them, and, further, that
the side that sat on the ball long
est won the game. That would be
the ideal defensive game. But it
wouldn't be exciting.
The rules weren't quite that bad
last year, though, and coaches who
Were willing to risk everything on
few brainstorm plays managed to
win fair share of games.

TO believe that the real merit of his
feat is not so thoroughly under

May Never Be Beaten.
There is a possibility that the
feat may be equaled in some minor
league, which l seriously doubt, but
for any man to win nineteen
straight games in a major league
championship season. where the
pitcher is opposed by the cream Of
the baseball world and where class
meets class and the ablest generals
of the diamond are plotting for
your downfall, is an achievement
that must go down in history as 4
record to be shot at by the fin
ture greats Of the big brush heay-
ing department. Instances NAV be
cited where in the early DAYS of
baseball some pitchers have won
more consecutive games than did
Marquard but the fact must not be
overlooked that baseball then and
baseball now are so widely differ
ent in style of play rules of play
and pitching, and in the science of
the game, that comparisons of rec
ords made then and now would be
ridiculous.
Naturally, some will say that
Marquard was lucky to hang nm
such a great record Granted Base
ball luck is part of the game and
1t IS one of the biggest factors in
the success of the championshfn

Marquard was surrounded hv
players Of the highest class and he
was pitching to batters of the same

to make his pitching effective. and
in two or three of his Winning
games he was favored by the luck
of the game that permitted him to

was nothing of the sensational ia

This years fashions may be a re-
Yival of those of so years ago (not

anyhow. the football rules for the
coming season are dead ringers for
those of 1902, The game has run
vigorously in circle, and brought
up at the point it started from ten
years ago. OF course, in the. mean
time it has gathered on a few ex-

basically, it is the good old foot
ball-not of our daddies, perhaps,
but, at any rate, of our elder broth

IT'S sort of too bad that the rules

they add a little more flour or stir

To Farmer Subscribers

The Enterprise hopes that the
farmers of Ben Hill county will take
and read more farm journals this
year than they have done before.
There are many very fine publica-
tons, and indeed we do not know
a sorry one, a single farm paper
that is not worth to any farmer
much more than its subscription
price. There is information, inspi-
ration. and helpful suggestions in
every one of them. They 60 a long
way towards making farm life more
pleasant, agreeable and profitable.
We are not selling any farm jour
nails, but we will, without charge,
secure any farm paper that a sub
scriber of the Enterprise may wish
to take at a nominal price.
