PERSONALITY IN BASEBALL
EVers, Cobb and Speaker Shine In This

Personality is defined by Webster as
the prominent traits or attributes of
some particular person" Personality,

Speaker and Tyrus Raymond Cobb

and walk. Benny Kauff is striking
example of personality. Benny can
even strike out with flourish.
There is no doubt baseball fans like
personality in their idols as much as
they do in the people whom they en-
counter in workaday life. The ball
player is unconscious of it, but per-
sonality is one of his biggest assets.
How many great ball players suffer
from the lack of this element! John
Franklin Baker and Larry Lajoie are
two of the finest players of all time.

KICKING SURE
TO PLAY PART
Football Coaches Discover
Punting an Invaluable Asset.
TOE ARTISTS IN DEMAND
Handlers Of Gridiron Teams Anxious to
Develop All Kinds Of Good Booters.
Long Punts Are Good as an Offensive
and Defensive Measure.

Again this season the promise is that
kicking will play a prominent part in
football. Never did the name of the
sport fit 1t better than last year. For
long It had been argued by many that
football wasn't football at all They
said 1t was rush ball or something like
that. In a great measure they were
right. But last autumn the effort to
advance the ball by kicking it or de-
fend a goal line by kicking it could not
have been more general or concerted if
the different coaches had met in pre-
season conclave and arranged their
campaigns accordingly.
Both as ant offensive and defensive
tactic kicking the ball has been ac-
cepted as one of the most effective
measures known to modern gridiron
science. a team with a long distance
punter who ran get direction in his

give his ends a chance to cover them is
an asset that must be weighed heavily
in the balance. This feature Of the
game promises to figure TO marked
degree in all of the autumnal classics.
1t was with the advent of the ten
yard rule in football that kicking be-
gan to develop Up to that time kick
ing was largely regarded as something
that might be called upon when all
other efforts failed. Each season has
witnessed the development of this
phase Of the sport. 1t is in direct line
with the new cardinal principle of
football-namely. open play-and, judg
ing by what the coaches are drilling at
the big camps, they are determined to
perfect this angle of play.
Kicking Versus Running.
One of the outstanding features
about kicking is that an eleven with a
proficient kicker can frequently get by
with little better than mediocre run
ming attack. If a good kicker is sup
ported by an able pair of ends-fast
men and hard and sure tacklers-he
can contribute many more yards to
the attack In the course of sixty min
utes of play than the average running
attack can. Then, too, there is always
the chance that the receiving players
may tumble. and with fast ends trail
ing the ball the chances of recovering
It are enhanced.
Furthermore. kicking takes the brunt
Of advancing the ball off a running at
tack and conserves its power for a de

Some papers are critieizing the banks
because $49,000,000 is loaned outside
the state against $23,145, OPP on real es-
tate in Vermont. If it were true that
our banks were refusing to loan on
good real estate within Vermont the
charge would be a serious one. We do
not know how it is in other parts of
Vermont, but no loan on real estate
is refused by the banks in this field
provided only the loan can be legally
made, viz, the property is unencum-
bcred, the title is clear and the amount
desired is within the sum the bank is
allowed to loan.
