VERY SUCCESSFUL
TEACHERS MEETING.

One of the most successful af-
fairs in the history of the Lynden
school WAS the meeting of teach
ers last Saturday held at the school
house, and planned by the Lynden
teachers.
The morning was spent in get
ting acquainted and inspecting the
school work. At one O'Clock a
chicken dinner was served to the Az
visiting teachers in the Commercial
room. From this. all adjourned to
the high school Assembly room for
the afternoon program.
1t had been planned to have the
program finished by 400 p. m. but
discussion was so lively and so ma
on the school topics under consid-
Grafton that it was well after five
when adjournment was taken.
Prof.P. A. Wright acted as chair
man and in his statement of the
purposes of the meeting, gave as
the chief aim, the better co-opera-
tion of teachers. and this hope was
more than reached in the enthu-
siasm and good fellowship of the
meeting.
The program follows:

the gridiron year. Two weeks later,
when the baseball season winds up,
all the big elevens will be in action,
and the following Saturday, when the
worlds series is at the height of its
tension, the moleskinners will be
reaching mid season form" 1t is a
fact that these coming three weeks
are about the busiest of the entire
sport year, with the two biggest games
overlapping and dovetailing each 9TH
er, and the third of the three will
mark the climax.
T seems as If the intention of the
makers to introduce more open
play this year has gone sadly awry.
After noting the success Of the open
game last year from the standpoint OF
the spectator, as well as the player,
they thought it would be a good idea
to introduce more. So they changed
the rule that made it necessary for a
kicker to be at least five yards be-
hind the rush line He now is al
lowed to be right up under the center.
This is, in a way the bringing back
of the old onside kick of several years
ago, the difference being that 1t Is not
an onside one since the kickers
teammates can not take the ball I'M
til after one of the defensive side has
| touched It,
The main effect of this new rule
! will be to open up the defense-spread

will follow? 1t will leave weakness

CAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 20
Weighed in the balance and
found wanting!
Such appears 10 be the verdict in
the case Of Bob McAllister the crack
boxer Of the Olympic Club, who en-
tered the professional ranks with such
q fanfare Of trumpets. and for whom
such a glorious future as ringmah
was predicted
since NcAllister made HIS profes-
Iaoual debut many months ago, he
has figured m Eve contests. And the
lesson Of each and every one Of them
IS that Bob is not the proprietor of a
serviceable punch
After each OF his bouts Bob prom
ised reformation. Reports from his
training camp had him paying espe
cial attention 20 the development Of a
blow that would hurt, and, for that
matter. the manner IN which he han
died his sparring partners from time
to time f1attered the hope that he
was making gains in the desired di-
rection
But whenever the crucial test came
poor Bob ladled out raps and taps in
the same fluffy manner AS an old
timer remarked, There wasn't n
headache in a ton OF. them"
TT took Bob's two contests with Sail
L or Petrosltey to make evident that
he is shy Of shifting force. In the
first, according TO what some people
call a conservative estimate, he struck
three blows to the bluejackets one.
But he scarcely mussed Petroskey's
blond thatch.
The other bout took place on the
afternoon Of September 9, and IL was
the same thing. over and over again"
While still as fresh as paint" meal

with the rhythm Of a rocking chair.
He pecked and cuffed Petroskey at

seaman's face must have been pushed
aside hundred times by straight
lefts and right jolts, yet when Pc
troskey walked to his corner the only
thing that disfgured his mug was a
grin.
AS it was In the first round, 1t was
in every succeeding round of the 90,
until at last, the most rabid McAllis-
ter booster at the ringside wrung
from himself the admission that Nc

This Indian May Be

MILES CITY. MONT, Sept. 90
There is young Crow Indian I'M the
Standing Rock Reservation by the name
OF Crow Skin, and the Far Western fans
are watching him every day.
Crow Skin is only II years old and
has never been away from the reserve

thing but a weak heart In a recent
game against a South Dakota town he
struck out twenty-five men. and while
they were not big league players, most
of them had been playing on pretty
fast bush teams.

in the first line of defense which will
make mass plays more effective. This
opinion is held by the coaches of both
Princeton and Yale, who, accordingly,
have planned more plays straight
through the line and just off tackle.
But another thing that will be
brought about by the rule which Is by
far the most important new one in
the book is the revival of the posi-
tion of quarterback. Last year many
teams practically had no quarter
back. Owing to the rule that allows
backs to run with the ball after a
direct pass from center, the quarter
back was rendered useless on teams
where the long pass had been mas
tered. They played him back with
the other runners in whatever forrna-
ton the coach thought a good one
for purposes Of interference. Some
teams played him in the old place
Just behind center because of the
fact that with short hand passes
there is less chance of fumbling.
But the rulemakers feared that
cleaner handling Of the ball which
would come in later years after more
attention had been given to the long
passes would make the connecting
link unnecessary and thereby put the
institution OF quarterback out or ex-
istence.
The new rule, however that allows
the quick kicks from formation will
make it good policy to have man
close up, which will keep the other
side guessing all the time.
