FOOTBALL LESSONS OF THE
YEAR

Principle progress of the year in de-
fense was made by Harvard. The
crimson was willing to give a great
deal of ground in midfeld territory,
provided there was some reasonable
guarantee that the forward or lateral
passing could be guarded against.
There are good judges who believe
that Harvard went perhaps a shade
too far in opening the defense, but it
must be remembered that the Grim
son had remarkable secondary men
on hand, and could play them back
with safety better than other team.
The Crimson played what is called the
reinforced line. This consists in
dropping the tackles back, and some
times the center, so that at times
there were only four men on the line,
and five men on the secondary line
of defense. In this system the ends
go in while the tackles and the center
wait, to avoid being drawn in by any
"shell game" back of the opposing
line. The last two backs assumed
their normal positions. The theory
was splendid-the best yet seen on
any field I think 1t was designed to
cover every possibility of the oppos-
ing attack.--January ONTING.

MUNICIPALITY MAY
BUILD POWER PLANT
Not Necessary to Ask Permission
of State Public Service
Commission

The right of a municipality to con-
struct and operate its own electric
light plant for furnishing electricity to
light its streets and other public places
and not for sale to others without OBJ
tanning consent of the Public Service
Commission was upheld to-day by the
commission.
The borough of Gettysburg filed a
petition with the commission for a
certificate of public convenience evi-
dencing the commissions approval of
an electric light plant for its own use.
A protest was entered by the Gettys-
| burg Light Company and hearing
was held to determine the preliminary
Question of the necessity of the bor-
ough to first obtain the approval of the
commissioners before beginning op-
Grafton. The complainant is now fur
nishing the service to the borough and
| it is the intention of the latter to dis
pense with this service and provide its
own light.
Right OF Borough Defined
The commission holds that the bor-
ough, as well as every other customer
of the Gettysburg Light Company has
] the IT. Ill lllt dbSCiCt OL u tOHNIdtlt
| to discontinue the service furnished
| by the light company and to light its
streets by means of candles. oil or
Iacetylene. Now power exists in the
commission to compel the borough to
take the service furnished by the light
/ company nor can it determine where
the borough shall buy the candles. oil
or how to obtain the gas it may desire
to use for lighting it's streets.
The commission secs no distinction
between a municipality generating its
own electricity for lighting its streets
and making candles or acetylene gas
for the same purpose. The commission
finds that the courts have recognized a
clear distinction between the rights
under which a municipality furnishes
electricity for it's own use and where
in addition furnishes it to the public.
In the first instance it is exercising d
| governmental function and in the lat
ter is engaged in q business. 1t is
! pointed out that the purpose of one of
the provisions in the Public Service
Company law was to prevent a muni-
cipality, without first securing the ap-
proval of the commission, from en-
gaging in business which would COM
| pete with the public service company
| furnishing like service in the munich
pality and not to interfere with truly
| governmental function of the munich
pality
! To hold a contrary opinion would
mean that no municipality, without
| first securing the approval of the COM
mission, could install its own stoves or
heat plant in it's municipal buildings
If corporation were at the time fur
nishing heat for the citizens and to
the public buildings in municipality.
