fine FOOTBALL
YEAR WAS THIS
Most Surprising, Spectacle
lar and Successful in
Financial Way.

The 1914 football season will 60
down in history as the most surpris-
ing, the most spectacular, and the
most successful financially Of any sea-
son in the long history Of the rah-rah
sport.
The season was filled with surprises
of a startling nature. Not one week
went by that some big eleven did not
go down to defeat or was tied by
one of the so-called weaker elevens.
Not n week fitted hence without
the grand old dope being upset in a
fashion that made it dizzy.
The new style game that was uni
versally adopted this year vas the
cause for the surprises. and it also
was the cause for spectacular playing
that featured nearly every game in
which evenly matched teams figured.
Forward Pass Improves Game.
The open style game changed foot
ball from a game that was rather un-
interesting and marked by only a few
spectacular open plays to a game re-
plete with open and spectacular plays
Practically. every college team in
the country will finish the season
The three big colleges--Yale, Prince
ton and Harvard-will have a bulky
net profit due to the fact that the
Harvard Princeton game drew 10000
persons. the Yale-Princeton game
about $4,000 and the Yale-Harvard
gave over 10000. The spectators paid
So each to see these games. so it may
be seen that the total proceeds from
these three games alone were over
$500. 900.
Professional Coaches Superior.
One thing the season has proved
and that Is that the professional
coaching system is better than that
OF graduate coaching.
Harvard pays Percy Haughton
something like $1,000 for his three
months work. and ever since Haugh-
ton has been coaching Harvard the
Crimson eleven has been considerab-
~ among those present. Yale hired
a a this year. and Yale this year
has shown better form than any OF
h Vale teams for the last four OF
five years when the amateur coach
ing system was in force.
Princeton has graduate coaches
and Princeton's showing this year
shrieks against the graduate coaching
system. Michigan has a professional
coach. 1t has had a professional
coach for nan years in the person
of Hustle EN- Up" Yost, and In all
these years Michigan has figured
largely in football affairs.

Grabbing OFF THE SPORTING DOPE
ARMY FOOTBALL
TEAM THE BEST

West Point. N. Y, Dec. 1.-The
Army football team as a whole. Is con-
sidered by its coaches as the best yer
turned u at West Point"
This statement was made yester-
day by Lieutenant Charles D. DAILY Of
the third field battery who has coach
ed the army for the last two years.
The lieutenant left for Fort Sam
Houston, Tex yesterday to rejoin his
command. Before he departed he
made this comment on the work Of
the team:
I'VE are unwilling to admit that
there was any team in the country
that could beat 1t. Its excellence was
due entirely to the efficiency of the
group of position coaches who worked
so faithfully for it's success"
Head Coach Days assistants in
moulding the army eleven this year
were Captains Graves and Sultan. and
Lieutenants Hammond, Thompson,
Pullen, Hayes. Stillwell and Stearns.

As there have been a number of in

to go wrong again. There were a

The usual procedure of eastern
critics is first to separate such teams
as Harvard. Yale and Princeton in a
class by themselves and trus, to luck
that eo-called minor" elevens will
get due credit. In the west. on the
other hand, the deductions are not
confined to any particular class of
schools.
Eastern critics place Harvard at the
top of the heap, due in a large meas-
ure to the crimson's easy victories over
7 iliSclOil anu 1dle. especially the ldI"
ter. AS the Eli contest turned out, it
showed that the blue squad was Woe
fully weak and the chances are that
four or five western teams would have
had no trouble in beating the team
coached by Frank Hinkey.

probably figure very close to Har-
ward. ever though the crimson sue

Williams and Amherst also had mighty
strong elevens and Rutgers made a
fair showing.
In the west Illinois and Nebraska
are probably on a par, with Notre
Dame and Michigan fairly close up.
Taking the particular style of play
into consideration. Minnesota would
end of the season with any of these
teams, while Chicago and Wisconsin
would not be far behind.
! Three in West Strong.
South Dakota M the Michigan
agricultural college might put in a
claim for recognition. especially as the
Dakotans played Nebraska to a tie
and the Michigan aggies held Michi-
gan to a field goal. The showing made
by the western teams in the east
would indicate hat the west was
slightly behind the east in the
strategy of the game. but three of the
real strong teams in the west. Illinois,
Nebraska. and Minnesota, had no
chance to show what they could do.
Giving Illinois the benefit of the
doubt. it would seem as if the Illini
should be put on an equal basis with
Harvard. with Nebraska. Minnesota,
Dartmouth. Williams and Michigan
close up. Some Of the teams men,
toned permit four-year men to play,
and for this reason it would not be
fair to compare such teams with those
who have strict rules. Syracuse looked
strong early. but faded away toward
the close of the season.

STORING THE RAINFALL
BY NJ. Miller, Professor of Asron.
ony, University of Missouri,
Columbia.

A bumper corn crop Is determined
more largely by the supply Of mois-
ture in the soil than by any other one
fac,or.s While soil preparation, ma
nure and seed are of much impor.
lance. moisture is of far more impor-
lance in determining the corn yield.
Sufficient-and well-dfstrbuted rain
Tall means large crop, dry seasons
means a short crop
OF course. the farmer cannot con.
troll rainfall, but he can partly con-
troll the amount of moisture to be
stored in the soil during the fall and
winter rains. A soil fall-plowed or
iall-disced, so as to be absorptive of
moisture, will almost always bring a
much better corn crop the following
year than one which has not been so
prepared.
These are many springs when the
rainfall makes up for all deficiencies
of the fail and winter. In fact, some
times the rainfall is too great, espe-
cially on level lands; but on rolling
lands, particularly when the rainfall
is often deficient, the practice of keep
ing land in a condition to absorb mois-
ture is of special importance. Even
in Missouri, with 40 inches of rainfall
or more. y this principle applies. The
wise man will. do what he can to pre-
pare for deficient rainfall by keeping
his ground in condition to absorb
moisture, as well as TO prevent its es-
cape during the growing season.

a Gooo ROTATION FOR MISSOURI.

One of the best rotations for Mis-
souri, is corn, oats, wheat and clover
or coWpeas. In this rotation the
ground is plowed only two years out
of the four and there is no reason to
drop out one of the crops at any time
to upset the whole scheme of crop
ping. On the other hand where a
three-course rotation of corn, wheat
and clover or cowpeas is adopted, the
corn often blows down, which pre-.
vents sowing wheat between the rows,
and the whole crop must be cut up if
the land is put in wheat. This is often
, objectionable or impossible, so the 70.
tation degenerates into corn two or
three years and wheat when it can be
soWn.

! The sleet and ice did not prevent
us from having memorable service
last Sunday night. Three strangers
were present, two from Kansas City
and one from Eureka, Kansas. We
asked them ii they would come down
in front and let the folks shake hands
with them, and they did so. This was
something trifle out Of the ordinary
but it is the policy Of this church TO
make strangers welcome. Last Sum
day was a great day. At both services
hands were raised for prayer, three
joined our Epworth League and one
united with the church.
Light on the New Life" is the
name applied to our service for next
Sunday night. Every person, now a
member or desiring to become q
member Of our church who has been
converted or fully consecrated to the
service OF Jesus Christ since Novem-
Der LIST, is desired and needed at this
service. 0
Our Sunday night Gospel Meetings
are designed to be a training school
for young christian workers. We
cannot take space to tell you Of our

people getting into the harness"
don't fail to be present.
BY the way don't forget to buy a
