ton OF football from West Point ath

from participation in the pastimc.

SEEKING REMEDY
TOCURE FUMBL|NG
Especial to The Times-pispatch. !

Cambridge. Mass, October .12.-
Coach Houghton is seeking a remedy
TO cure the Harvard football squad of
the fumbling which married the first
half of the Williams game, and which
has been glaring fault OF the Grim
son backs this season. Tomorrow the
real work OF developing team play will
begin. The backs have not been
worked together long enough in prac-
tice games to get the, swing of the
other men. and while several Of the
backhcld candidates give promise OF
developing into excellent ground gain
crs. there is tendency on the part
of the men carrying the ball to break
away from his interference too early
The quarter back position remains
unsolved. with Bradlee having the call
over Freddy and Logan. With the
return of Pennock, the All-American
guard and Trubull, last years tackle.
the limo has taken on considerable of q
brace and the defensive game has
shown Improvement. Coach Hough-
ton feels that the team must improve
a great deal more before it can be
ranked with last years eleven.

By Clarence A. Kenyon.


Clarence A. Kenyon repre-
sented the American Highway
Association and the Indiana
Good Roads Association as a
delegate to the International
Road Congress, held in London,
Eng, June %, 1918. Mr. Ken
yon is practical highway en-
gineer who has been engaged in
road and street building for
many years. He has studied
and watched the rapid develop
ment of the science of road
building in America in man
ner so thorough as to mark him
as an authority. For this rea-
son he is particularly fitted to
point out the many interesting
facts brought forth at the re-
cent London Congress, where
three Thousand delegates rep
resented thirty-nine different .
nations.
From every country comes
the cry, What are we to do
with our roads ?" The increase
of the travel on them has so
multiplied that roads that were
strong enough and good enough
a few years ago are no longer
adequate. What is to be done?
Shall we neglect the roads until
the public no longer uses them
except when it is imperative?
If we do the country falls into
decay, tenants and workmen
will not stay on the land, and
the towns and cities adjacent
thereto lose prestige and popu
latiOn.
Again, many of the roads
were so poorly constructed and
of such inferior material that
the cost of upkeep is so great
we cannot raise the money to
pay the expense of adequate
maintenance. Must we recon-
struct them, and if so how and
with what materials, and how
can we convince the taxpayers
of the necessity and utility of so
doing?
Such are the questions that
have heard engineers and road
authorities ask in Spain, Italy,
France and England as / passed
through those countries, and
such are the questions that are
on everyone's lips here in Lon
don at the international Roads |
Congress, at which there are
thirty-nine countries represent !
ed by over three thousand dele !
gates.
France has been, up to five
years ago, the leading good |
roads country of the world, but
France has passed to second
place. Great Britain has pass
ed her, and why? With the
great increase of automobile
traffic of various kinds it has
been found that those macadam
or gravel roads over which pass
considerable traffic, no matter
how well built, cannot be main
tanned except at a cost Tar IN
excess of any amount that the
taxpayers will pay or the road
authorities will levy, and yet
these are the very roads that
the public desire to use the
most. ~.; ..~- @~~
In France the roads are
practically as good as ever, but
the surfaces of the heavily ira
veled roads are wearing out,
not one or few places, but
over the whole surface. What
can the patrolman do in such
cases? He is not adequate for
the task.
In England the taxpayers well
come road construction and i'm
provements as means of bet
tering local conditions and add
