Parke Davis Slips a Cog.

There is no question but that Parke
Davis knows more about football and
statistics, and possibly everything
else than does the writer of this para
graph, but he slips cog when in his
mention OF the men who have achieved
the feat of running the length of the
field for touchdown he fails to men
ton the end Of the Williams college
team who performed that feat against
the Carlisle Indians, running from his
own goal line for a touchdown. The
performance was at Albany, y. Y, If
the writer is not mistaken, the time
about Is years ago and the big papers
at the time noted it rs wonderful
feat. lie mentions runs of so yards as
full field runs, but they were made

ANY OLD KIND OF BET.
Take Your Choice of This Variety, But
Don't Kick at Returns.

In New York odds have shifted from
, to l on Harvard to 10 to 8 on Yale.
In Boston even money has been bet,
Yale supporters declaring that if Yale
is worth betting on at all it is at even
money.
At Fred Schumm s place $1,000 is
offered even money that Harvard will
score 10 points. Two amounts of $500
are also offered that Yale will not
score five points and that Yale will not
make touchdown. a bet of $50 was
made that Brickley will kick a goal
during the first half and wager OF
$25 was made that Guernsey will kick
the first goal of the game.

is the smallncSs Of the Kinks and the
consequent crowding of fourteen play
erS OF the ice.
There is 4 remedy that is both sim
pie and. | think. imminent The Cana
dian hockey players are now playing
only six men To Il team, leaving out the
rover. whose utility, as Il matter Of
fact. has always been somewhat qucs-
tionable. am safe i'll saying that the
great majority of players here believe
with me that the governing body
should this fall so change conditions Of
the game that the rover will be dis
penSed with.
"The question is asked Why this
change? Well, the answer is simple
particularly in view of our small Kinks.
With fourteen players on the ice there
is almost no chance for any individual
4 or team brilliancy. There is Il crowd
ing that prevents real hockey so that
the game has almost become shiny
Take. for instance. Il scramble III bach

cage there are often eight players fall
ing over each other in an attempt tC
get the disk. 1t results in Il scramble
that is neither Interesting nor exciting
to player or spectator. Certainly i
isn't hockey.
another reason is that Il rover nj
ways finds it hard to get iii line. II,

Confederate Veterans, With Free

VIDALIA, GA, Feb. 5.-For fifteen
minutes per day, from 9:45 TO 10 o'clock
In the morning, cigarettes may be pur-
chased in this place. During the bal
ance of the "A hours the lid is on. The
efforts of the city to collect the special
tax of 500 for selling cigarettes is at
tracing considerable interest, and now
that the lid has been slammed down for
the day with the exception of fifteen
minutes, the next move of the ciga-
rette men is watched with additional
interest. Effective February /, the big
tax was due. The same day the old
Confederate veterans presented their
free state licenses and began business.
However, this did not look exactly like
the cash money that the tax should
have brought in, and the city fathers
restricted the selling day to fifteen
minutes.
The old vets DO not complain of the
business during the time allowed. but
they want the regular hours of a bust
ness day. 1t is said that in all proba-
bility they will get what they ask.
