TACKLES MUST BEAR BRUNT
Survey Of FoothslipRules Leads to Be-
lief Game wan BE Close COUSIN
to That Of 1909.

Walter Camps latest variety of foot
ball rules has been accused of being
everything from return to the old
eat 'em alive mass play rules to being
a slight modification, which will have
little effect on the style of play. Act.
ually, a survey Of the new football
laws leads to the belief that the game
that will develop under them will be a
close cousin to that played In 1909. an
invitation to the tackles to stand up
and be killed. Last years rules
favored the defense to such an extent
that scoring was almost impossible
and fluky In the extreme. II appears
that in their effort to strengthen the
offense. the rulemakers have gone to
the other boundary and that scoring
this year is likely to be enormous.
The mass play died when pulling
and pushing mai. through the line

was abolished. But the tackle now
will have to stand the shock Of his
opponent forward. and then OF heavy
man bent on making two or three
yards. He will not, in all probability,
get much help from the secondary de-
tense. To weaken the defensive back
line unduly will be simply an invita-.
ton to the offense to work the now
unrestricted forward pass to its
hearts content
The situation will be much the same
as Yost faced when Notre Dame beat
Michigan and which, later In the same
year. he compelled Pennsylvania to
meet. The threat of the forward pass
was always there. but the play itself
was no great factor in the scoring.
Instead. the first defense was simply
battered down by straight football"
while the backs waited helplessly for
the forward pass that didn't come.

Bat Made of Concrete.

Some genius is trying to put con-
crete bat on the market. He claims
that 1t is no heavier than hardwood
bat, and drives the ball much farther.
According to the laws Of the game.
the bat must be made of wood, so that
the statutes would have to ie al
tered before the stone stick could be
utilized. The game, right now, doesn't
need a bat that will drive the ball any
farther, but more batsmen who can
drive the ball with the bats in current

Player Steals 116 Bases.

The season Of 1912 was notable in
the Northwestern league for broken
records, according to the final aver
ages recently made public. The most
important new record set was that of
Ralph Hap Meyers of the Spokane
club, who stole 116 bases. Official
guide books show that in 20 years this
record has not been equaled in any
league in organized baseball.
Catcher Whaling of Seattle worked
in 1873 games, made only seven err
rors, threw out 1873 base runners and
averaged 1892.

One of the greatest finds of the
season at the University of Wisconsin
has been Louis Berger. In the first
practice game he plowed or wriggled
his way through the varsity line at
will.
The diminutive Chicagoan, who is
an exact counterpart of Otto Stangel,
furnished the big attraction for the
rooters who gathered at Camp Ran
dali to watch the practice. Time after
time he shot through holes in the
varsity line for big gains, his most
spectacular performance being a o.
yard gain through right tackle with
half of the team trying to stop him. A

NICE COMPLIMENT
Advance Standing For The
l. T. s.


For the past seventeen years there
has been in existance an association
Of the colleges and preparatory
schools Of the southern states
which, as its name implies, covers
the field of higher education in
this whole section and sets the
standard of 6r t-class attainment.
1t is with great qualification
that we announce that of the three
schools in the whole south which
obtained the endorsement Of this
organization at its recent annual
meeting and were admitted to its
membership the |. L. 5. was one.
Such membership, it should be
understood, is not to be had for
the asking. A school must file it's
application a year before action is
taken and 10 the meantime full in
formation is made as to its courses
Of study. the efficiency Of its
Coaching force, the number Of its
students and its prospects for per-
manence as we'll as it's condition at
the present date. To be placed
upon its roll means therefore that
in the eyes of the most expert and
exacting educators of the south
this school has passed muster and
is entitled to be rated among the
the best of the land.
To the school authorities this
means a gratifying recognition
from the men who set the profess
sional standards in this region; to
the ambitious student it means
that his work here will be credited
to him in applying for admission
to the best colleges and universities
in the south, and that in many of
them valuable scholarships lie
open to him upon proper certif-
cation Of his standing in the !. 7.
s.; to the community it means
that our school is judged by out
siders to be of a quality that no
school in Huntington has ever
attained; a quality that levels up
with the best in Dixie.

MEDICAL MEETING
The Carroll County Society Has
Pleasant Session at Mckenzie

On Tuesday night, November 26,
the Carroll County Medical Society
met at Mckenzie in a very de-
lightful session.
The trainswere met by COM
mittee of the Mckenzie physicians
and the visitors conducted to the
McDade hotel, where a specially
prepared supper was served, the
doctors Of Mckenzie being the
hosts, and, from the manner Of its
reception by the visitors, it would
appear that they, too, had made
special preparation for receiving
the same.
After supper the society as
sembIed at the Masonic hall and
the scheduled program discussed
in a very cheerful and instructive
manner BY all members present.
After the discussion the following
members we're added: Drs. H. F,
Collier, H. i. Alexander, E. M.
Alexander, j. ID. Todd and A. G.
Elinor.
Before adjourning a motion was
made to extend a vote of thanks to
the profession Of Mckenzie for
the royal manner in which the Wis
itors were entertained by them,
and the motion carried unani-
mously. The next meeting will
be held at Huntingdon in January,
it will be an open meeting and the
,entire public is invited. Discus
sions on preventive medicine will
be given. The profession is the
guardian Of public health and it is
the purpose of the society to give
the laity the benefit of scientific
research on the subject. The date
Of the meeting will appear later.

Bethel Scores

The |. 7. S. team lost a game to
Bethel College at Mckenzie Satur-
day by the score of Z to 6. Both
touchdowns were made in the first
half. Bethel's best gains were
made on sweeping end runs.
Huntingdon showed greater YER
satility in attack, and at times
greater power, but fumbles and
costly errors of judgment caused
their downfall. Runs by Herbert
and Sanders and the defensive
work of Mcdaniel we're the fea-
lures for Bethel, while broken field
running by Blame and Alvey fea-
tured Huntingdon's work. Sum
mary: Quarters, ten minutes,
touchdowns, Sparks, Edwards;
goal from touchdown, Sparks;
referee, Puryear; umpire, Ritchie;
head linesman, Thomas. Quite q
crowd from Huntingdon saw the
game.
