Yale Forges to the Front in Inter-
Sectional Football.

game Saturday when Yale tTiumphed
over Notre Dame, % to 0, at New
Haven.
The Catholics went east expecting
to bewilder Yale with a diversified
attack embodying radical features Of
the new game. EichenlaUb was
counted on to do his share at the for
ward passing, and also at piercing
the line on straight bucks. Appar-
emily the Yale men had been pTimed
for the NOtre Dame star, and broke
up the best plays built around him.
But it was in attack that Yale
shone brilliantly. The Blue exhibited
some passes handled by three men,
four and even five, that saVOred more
of the Zupke style of football than
anything that has even been seen.
Notre Dame has had long practice
in combating the open game, and it
is a remarkable tribute to the work
of Yale to say that the Catholics were
helpless, and seldom fathomed the
location of the ball until the play
was safely under way.
This victory shOVes Yale to the
van of football for the season so far,
and makes her prospects bright for
future battles with leading elevens
from the seaboard.
If Notre Dame, schooled in open
football for three years, could not de-
cipher the Yale style Of play, it is
hard to figure how Harvard and
Princeton, who never have seen the
new game played with all it's friIls,
can oppose the Blue onslaught,
Frank Hinkey, one of the best ends |
who ever played football, is respOn-
sible for Yale's victory. He has |
thrown the old game away, and !
drummed new tactics into his |
charges, though there was some Op-
position from the conservatives. Hin |
key had the say, however, and his |

FederaIs May Force Terms from
Organized Baseball.

the secrecy that has characterized its
political Vaccinations for years, is
reluctant to admit that it suffered
from war waged by the Federals and
would be glad to reach a compromise
that would bring about peace with
out discrediting the two older major
leagues. '--'
President Weeghman Of the local
Federal League club says he was in
vited by Garry Hermann, chairman
of the national commission, the high
est court in baseball, to attend a
peace conference in New York.
Garry Hermann is now out with
a denial that any negotiations with
the Feds looking toward peace are
under way. He doesn't deny that he
conferred with Weeghman.
According to -Weeghman, the sub
iects discussed in the conference
were to remain secret, and it was
hoped that even news that such a
meeting had been held would not leak
out.
But Ban johnson, with one of his
usual statements about war to the
bitter end, aroused the ire Of the Fed
eraI official and Weeghman partly let
the cat out of the bag. Now he has
bridled his impetuosity and refuses
to further discuss the meeting.
There is no concealment of the
fact that something is in the air, and
that at least some Of the Federal
magnates VIII be taken care Of by
the organized powers if they care to
take advantage Of the opportunity.
But it is also possible that the Feds
may decide they are perfectly able to
take care of themselves and can
stand on their own feet,
It is doubtful if any of the Fed
would desert their fellows

ties with long, slender straw OF
medium to fine quality. The Fultzo-
Mediterranean variety is an exam
pie of the former class of wheats.
The Mediterranean, Valley, Red
Wonder and Gypsy are of the lat
ter class. From rather extensive
study Of this problem it seems that
the bearded heats, as a class tiller
more freely than the beardless va
rieties. Of course, there are few
exceptions in each class, but they
are very few. Whether there is any
correlation between the tendency
to 'tiller and yield per acre may be
answered by comparing the yields
of our beardless and bearded varie-
ties for the past six years. Out Of
the ten varieties leading in yield
per acre during that period, nine
have been of the bearded sorts. In
quiries among The wheat growers Of
this section show that bearded va
rieties of wheat are more depend
able for yield, one year with an
other than the beardless. There
are certain seasons, and 1914 was
one, when many of the beardless
varieties produce quite as well as
the bearded. 1t is we'll to note in
passing that this tendency to tiller
freely seems to be associated with a
greater capacity on the part of the
variety to do well ON poor soil
From experiments it has been
found that there is a greater diff
ference in the rate of tillering be-
tween the heavy tillering and the
light tillering sorts on unfertilized
soil. That is, those varieties tend
ing to tiller freely do much better
than low tillering varieties when
soil conditions are not favorable.
On rich soil the difference is not SO
marked.
All Of these considerations must
be taken into account in regulating
the quantity of seed per acre. 1t
must be admitted that much confu-
sion exists among many growers as
to the name or identity Of varieties
of wheat. Too often a highly adj
vertised variety will not yield as
well as an old standard sort that
has been well graded. During the
past few years a certain variety
has been widely advertised and
sold on the claim that it tillers
more freely than other wheats, and
for that reason much less seed is
required per acre. This wheat,
commonly called Miracle, has been
tested by the Delaware Station
from the time the variety was first
introduced, yet in comparison with
many Of the well known standard
varieties, has not been found to
tlller more freely than many of
them. While it is good wheat and
yields well when sown at a low
rate per acre yet several other va
rieties will produce as large yields
Newark post., 1914-09-16

a seeding for the best results with
certain varieties. The indications
are that the heavy tillering varie-
ties are less affected by rather thick
seeding that varieties which tiller
less. On fertile soil three pecks OF
freely tillering variety will be
sufficient seed to use. In general,
about pecks seems to be good
average rate of seeding for most
conditions.
Newark post., 1914-09-16
if sown in a similar manner.

if sOwn in a similar manner.
There is no doubt that too much
seed is used under certain condi-
tions. AS soon as the rate of seed
ing passes the capacity of the soil
for producing certain yield, the
individual plants suffer through
the competition induced by the
thick seeding. Two bushels Of seed
per acre is the quantity often used
but on light soils this is too heavy
