THE MULTIPLE KICK
New FootabIe Play That is Attracting
Attention

Every football season brings some
new playfor series of plays to the fore
and although the present one is scarce
ly half completed several novel grid
iron wrinkles have already made their
appearance The innovation TO attract
the greatest amount OF attention, in
the east at least, is what is known as
the multiple kick" perfected by
Foster Sanford, coach of the Rutgers
college eleven. Strange to say, 1t is
not series of kicks, as its appellation
would appear TO indicate, but single
place kick in which several players
assist in the holding OF the ball while
another supplies the propelling power
II is a development Of the old try
for field goal from placement. which
the quarterback after receiving the
ball from the centre dropped to one
knee and held the spheroid while the
iullback or some other player tried to
convert the drive into a field goal. I'm
der the new method. two players
stretch themselves at full length upon
the ground. heads opposite each other
and at right angles to the direction o.
the kick. at a point five yards back OF
the scrimmage line. Directly benin1
them stands the quarterback, willie be
hind him is located the player wdo is
to make the kick
When the center rasses the ball Il
is received by the quarter who Stops
and places it in an upright position
upon the ground, while the players. al
ready prone. reach out and hold it
steady with one or both hands. Having
accomplished his part in the play, the
quarter jumps quickly to one side and
the actual kicker steps or runs for
ward and drives the ball into the OPP
ponents territory for a field goal or
punt.
The particular advantage OF the
multiple kick over the ordinarily at
tempted punt, or dropldck. lies IN the
fact that the ball is held securely I'M
til the full momentum of the drive las
been communicated to the inflated pig
skin. Owing to the spheroid shape OF
the intercollegiate football it Is. hard
to drive it forward straight and true
unless 1t is kicked at just the correct
point. With two men holding 1t Oh
opposite sides there is little chance
for the ball to twist as it is kicked,
and the Rutgers players have frequent
ly driven the ball for sixty and seven
ty yards from this formation. The
play, however, requires perfect Co
operation by all four players involved
and must be timed exactly, since the
defense given the kicker is naturally
weakened owing to the number of
players handling the ball.

FORGOTTEN savlnsa ACCOUNT

II seems strange that so many ac-
counts in savings banks and trust
companies Of Vermont should be
completely lost track of by deposit
ors or, in case of their decease, by
their survivors. Substantially 26O
such accounts have been reported by
State Bank Commissioner r. C.
Williams as having been lost all
track of for a period of 20 years,
the efforts of the banks to get in
touch with the depositors being un-
awaiting While most of the accounts
are very small. one of them, deposit
ed by Rutland woman Al years ago,
amounts now to over $l100. While
Vermonters are additionally thrifty
and have savings bank deposits per
capita unequalled by the people Of any
state in the union, it is not the
Yermonters characteristic to be
careless with his money.-Rutland

Our Prosperity Seems Permanent.

Evidently the big railroad corpora
tions do not consider the present pros
perity as only temporarily, for they
are spending millions for new equip
ment to handle the big business now
offered them and the increase expect
ed to come. A. H. Smith, president
of the New York Central Railroad
Company, has informed the Ohio Pub
lie Utilities Commission that his road
intends to spend approximately S15,-
100000 for new equipment next year.
Announcement of the proposed expen-
diture was made in an application for
authority to issue S12,0O0,0OO of couin-
ment trust certificates to be sold at
not less than 81. The application
states that the equipment to be pur-
chased will include 1000 steel box
cars, to cost $5,90O,O00: 5000 all
steel coal cars to cost S4,5OOOO0: 10
electric locomotives to cost $750,000;
100 steel passenger coaches, to cost
S2,O00000; 100 steel baggage cars to
cost S1,100,000. and 80 multiple unit
cars to cost $750,000. This does not
look like the railroads ere alarmed at

Cold Storage For Home Meat Supply
Costs SIS.

Everybody knows how hard it is to
cure meats in the South. A. P. Spen-
Ger, district agent for the University
of Florida Extension Division, calls
attention to specifications for cold
storage house that will eliminate the
weather requirements for curing
meat. The specifications are sent out
by the States Relations Service,
Washington. The house costs only
$75. The feed required to hold fat
hogs over several weeks while you
wait for cool weather would cost as
much as the house. The plan men
toned is one that has been used sue
cessfully by J. E. Mcintosh, Laura
vile, Fla, for Is years;
"Size of cold storage, s by 10 feet;
corner studding, 4 by A inches by 9
feet; intermediate studding, 2 by 1
inches by feet.
"Joists nailed on side of studding
(at top) so that when ceilings and
weather boarding are nailed on, will
leave continuous air space all
around. Ceiling one inch thick is nail
ed on horizontally, then on this lay
er of insulating paper, and on this an
other like ceiling perpendicularly. On
other or outer side of studding a like
wall is put on. A beveled door is
used, made with like walls and edges
lined with felt of convenient size. Two
layers of floor with between, the floor
slanting backward and to center, with
gutter to drain room to back end into
a U pipe thru the wall.
"The walls on both sides, ends and
overhead inside and out, are the
same; two wooden walls with paper
between. Leave the air space be-
tween the walls open. Dead air space
is a better insulation than sawdust,
shavings or other material. See that
the doors fit closely.
"a rack is placed as near the top
as possible to admit 200 pound blocks
of ice. The house requires lhou5 500
pounds of ice a week. 1t will hold
about 5000 pounds of meat, placed in
the ya"ks on TIE sides. The cost Il
operating equals the cost of ic, and
the wages of one man.
