FOOTBALL GUIDE Is
READY FOR FANS

Despite The fact that football was
not as widely played in 1917 as in
previous years that annual haTbinger
of the autumn sport, the official foot
ball guide, edited by Walter Camp,
bears no indication of anaemia. 1t is
as robust in text, pictorial embellish-
ment, and in number of pages as
ever.
Last years play carried the convic-
tion that the rules were all right as
they stood. hence the playing regula-
tions for 1918 show no departure in
terms from those of the preceding
year.
Football last year revealed few If
any fundamental baws. The possi-
bilities Of the running game were de-
velcped to a point which silenced
those who had declared that the de-
tense had come to overbalance the
running attack. while on the other
hand those who had foreseen the
gradual decline of kicking as a pow
erful element in the game had Moth
ing last season to justify their fears.
The forward pass was operated as
standard element in the offense,
and IL it gained no new friends as a
result of its use in 1917 it is not rea-
sonable to assume that the number
OF its enemies was increased.

MEASURES CHANGED.

Amsterdam.-Germ housewives

cease to use the dozen" as mem
Der of the family of weights and
measures. 1t is the last surviving
opponent of the metric system,
which has now firmly established
itself in Germany. Its official sue
cessor will be the tenth"
The abolition of the dozen, it is
pointed out, in a certain sense
marks the elimination Of English
influence in many lines of business.
inasmuch as this measure hailed
from across the channel. With the
introduction of purchase certif1-
Gates. which limit the number OF
articles which shoppers are permit

strictions, the habit of buying in
lots of a dozen has practically
ceased.
