CITY MUST add TO ITS
Water SUPPLY BY 1880
Supt. mcfarland. in Report, Says
District Will Then Need a
Larger Capacity.
SAVES 80 PER CENT PER CAPITA

In his annual report made to the Com
missIoners yesterday, W. A. Macfsrland.
superintendent of the water department
Of the District government, recommends
that provision be made to insure an ad-
ditional water supply for Washington by
not later than 1890.
The water supply of the city Is sum-
cient at present, but with steady
growth in population the District soon
will reach the point where a greater
volume of water will be needed.
Since 1905 the water department has
brought about important economies in
water consumption, the annual report
shows, and still. further per capita saw
capita decrease since 1905 Of from n to
152 gallons a day, a saving Of % per cent.
In part the report reads:
Assuming that the per capita can
finally be reduced to 100 gallons-a
further reduction Of twenty gallons, or
IA 1-2 per cent-and that the population
increases at about the same rate as in
the past. the mean daily consumption
would equal the safe mean capacity of
the conduit In 1880. when the population
Of the District would be about 10000.
Radical measures to curtail waste
were taken In 1906, when the mean daily
rate had reached ss.00o0oO and the per
capita 27 gallons. These measures con-
sisted in the extensive installation Of
matters. systematic underground surveys
to locate and remedy leaks and careful
house inspection.
The great need of such steps is evi-
dent when II Is remembered that the
safe mean rate of flow in the only con-
-. la a. e nlNn
gallons daily. Since 1905 there has been
an almost continuous decrease In the
amount of water used by the city. until
during the past fiscal year the mean
daily rate was about $1,000 900 gallons,
and the per capita rate 152.'' -

The employment of all-the-year-
round men as directors of the various
forms of athletics, as opposed to the
old system of short-term coaches, will
eventually, it is believed, build up a
system of Missouri football as dis
tinctive as that of Yale or Harvard.
This tendency is helped by the re-
turn of the "old timers" every fall
to pass on their knowledge of the
game to the youngsters.
The criticism of infieXibility that
has been made against the Yale sys-
TEN, as typical of the East, will not,
however, be found to apply in the
West. 1t is argued at Yale, the
critics say, that because thing has
always been done in a certain way
the Yale way-no change is to be
tolerated. The Western system of
coaching, as exemplified at Missouri,
is quick to adopt changes in keeping
with the progress of the game The

One former Missouri man helped to
give the 1914 Tigers the first defeat
OF the season. Bud" Saunders, as
sistant to Coach Kelly of Rolla, came
to Columbia with a team that licked
Missouri 8 to 0. Saunders was on the
1909 team and knows football from
kickoff to last down. After leaving
school he coached at William Jewell
for several years. This is his first
year at Rolla.
Harvey McWilliams is coaching this
year at the Kirksville Normal School
and Jim" Pixlee at Missouri Wesley

the coaching game.

and university class and the rest are
in preparatory and high schools.
Prominent in coaching circles is
Dorset V. C"Tubby'D Graves, who is
at the University of Alabama. This is
"Tubby's" fourth season down in Ala
bam," and if reports that come back
to Missouri are true, he is making the
Southerners take notice. This year
"Tubby's" team will meet for the third
time the squad of his old teammate,
Lloyd Driver, who is coaching at the
University of Mississippi. In the
last two games in which they have
opposed each other "Tubby's" war
riors have taken the scalp of the Mis-
sissippians, but Driver sends back
word that he expects to get revenge
this year.
Another Southern team directed
by a Missouri man is that of the
Fort Worth, Texas, Polytechnic
Institute, where A. G. Alexander, for
mer fullback, is the coach. ALEX"
has been coaching there ever since
he left Missouri in 1910 and has
brought out some strong teams. The
last Tiger team he played on was that
of 1909, and his performance at full
that year was one of the things that
live in football history at Missouri.
Another teammate of Graves, Driver
and Alexander who is now coaching is
Dan Nee. Although practicing law in
Springfield, Mo-, Dan has time to
coach the Drury College eleven and
turn out one of the best small college
teams in the state. Year before last
