LAKELAND'S ATTRACTIONS
As VIEWED BY A
RECENT VISITOR

OF Lakeland and it's surrounding
the Sarasota Times, whose editor at
tended the Press Association here,
says:
Lakeland is one of the prettiest
and cleanest towns in the State. In
the center of the city is beautiful
park, occupying one whole block. A
Confederate monument is in the CEN
ter, and the whole is surrounded by
well trimmed hedge of arbor vitae
and California privet. There are
magnificent oaks and other shade
trees, winding walks, and seats for
the weary; and beds of roses, violets.
hibiscus and ANIMALS give a charm
ing wealth of color.
Lakeland has fine hotels; and
modern business houses give it an
air of progressiveness; and last, but
one of its most important institu-
tions, we will mention the Telegram
office, where Editor Hetherington, as
sisted by Mrs. Hetherington, gets
out a daily that would do credit to
many larger cities. A few years ago
we visited Lakeland, when Editor
Hetherington occupied small quar-
tiers in the rear of the Kentucky
building. His present handsome
three story building is evidence of
the prosperity that has rewarded his
labor and perseverance.
Mrs. Hetherington served fruit
punch while the meeting was in ses-
sion; and directly after it adjourned,
the Board of Trade had provided
autos, and in a siX-mile sightseeing
trip, the editors were taken over and
around the city.
THE beautiful lakes were much
admired; and, while our preference
is decidedly in favor of coast
town op Sarasota Bay, if we had to
make change no other place we
have seen has so many attractions
for desirable home as Lakeland.'

Brickley Wants a Job;
Would Like to Be a Coach
Special to The Telegraph

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 2.-Captain
Brickley, of Harvard's champion foot
ball team, is out for a berth as foot
ball coach in some college in or near
New York, in which city he plans to
start in business after his graduation
in June.
"It is my present plan and hope to
coach next Fall, but not at Harvard"
said Brickley.
"I intend to work in New York after
graduation. 1t would be preferable,
then, to coach a team within reason
able distance of that city. 1t is my
idea that it would be foolish to accept
a one-year contract as a football
coach. In one year I could not do
justice to myself nor to the team |
coached. 1t would not be fair for any
of the parties concerned to attempt to
build up winning combination in one
year.
II consider that my value as a coach
would come from my long connection
with the Haughton system of football
as taught at Harvard, not from any in
dividual ability as q player"

Captain Louis Sorcho, the celebrated
deep sea diver and submarine engineer,
is attracting unlimited attention at the
Orpheum this week. The attention is
due not only to his interesting exhibit
tion of the dangers that confront those
who follow submarine work, a topic of
which the public generally speaking is
practically Ignorant, but of the import
ance attached to the presence of Cap
tain Sorcho himself, in Harrisburg
Those who follow metropolitan news
papers as well as the current maga-
zines have undoubtedly come to know
Mr.. Sorcho as a big" man. He has de-
voted untiring ingenuity in this one
line of work, accomplishing much, and
he is looked Upon to-day as the most
accomplished man who has ever donned
the diving suit. While his noto-
riety probably emanated from his eX-
cellent work in recovering the sunken
Maine and 1872 of the bodies that went
down with it, there are many other big
pieces of work he has been assigned to-,
such as the Slocum disaster. Through
his cautious observation of the dangers
that confront the diver. Mr. Sorcho has
done more than any other man to les
sen these dangers, his invention of
the submarine telephone being easily
the most important of these. At the
Orpheum he actually brings a small
ocean and ship on the stage. His dem
onstration is more than interesting.
The Orpheum's bill throughout is clever
and ng.-Advertsement.

GUS z|EGLER FAVORS !.
FOOTBALL CHANGES
Former Penn Star Wants New IN
reference Provisions; Tells
About Forward Pass
Special to The Tslegrabh

Philadelphia, Dec. 2.-Changes in
football rules will come up for dis
cussion soon after the Christmas holi-
days. A general opinion prevails that
the committee on rules will have very
little to do.
Gus zeigler a former Penn star,
and late coach of the University of
West Virginia, says changes must
come and will offer suggestions to the
experts.
my players found it quite difficult
to interpret the rules, especially those
governing the forward pass. They
are not at all clear and officials ruled
differently in every game. In one
contest the ball was knocked out of
the passer's hand just as he drew his
arm back to throw it. The pigskin
did not travel forward and was re-
covered by one of my men, who made
a touchdown. The play was called
back, and the official called 1t an in
completed forward pass. On the fol-
lowing Saturday a pass was blocked
| before the ball crossed the line of
scrimmage, and 1t was ruled a fun
BILE. The definition of a forward pass
should be made more clear next year,
so as to give the officials and players
chance to know what they are do
ing.
Another rule that needs doctoring
is the one which allows interference
on the part of the passer's side before
the ball is passed. The rule reads
that there shall be no interference
after the ball has been passed. and
many complications have arisen be-
cause of the play. One team would
send the linemen out to get the defen-
sive backs, and block them off until a
man on the passer's side got the ball
These linemen sometimes would run
into the backfield men, but more often
would stand in front of them. If the
man on the defense ran forward he
would crash into an opponent. That
| is interference, pure and simple, but
| few penalties were given on the play
"It is almost impossible, in these
days, to interfere before the ball is
passed. A couple of years ago the
passer could run back and forth be.
hind his own line before he tossed the
ball, but he cannot do 1t now. The
players are taught to rush in an6
hurry the pass, and the passer gen.
lerally gets rid of the ball as quickly

CHRISTMAS TOYS SUPPLIED BY
AMERICAN MAKERS.

There is no danger of a Christmas
toy famine on account of the Euro
pean war. Some kinds of playthings
for which this country has been de-
pendent upon Germany may not be
so abundant as formerly, but Ameri-
can manufacturers are already pro-
ducing toys to an annual value almost
equal to that of the German imports,
and American children are no longer
exclusively supplied from Nurem-
berg" says the December Popular
Mechanics Magazine in an illustrated
article.
THE center of the American toy
industry is at Winchendon, Mass.
where several of the most important
factories are located. Opposite the
railway station in this city is an
enormous hobbyhorse, and this SYM
Dol very nearly tells the story in re-
gard to the city's industries. Even
before the war broke OUT, of every
kind were being produced in enor-
NOUS quantities in this city. These
included even the Noah's arks, which
for many years were turned out ex-
clusively by German makers. The
situation is one that may result in q
big change in the toy-making In

Shugrue, who recently returned

it is impromable that he will knock
