DRIVEN BY
DRINKS ALARM FERNDALE

Automobile accidents caused by the
carelessness of drunken drivers, are
alarming the city of Ferndale. on the
main road between Bellingham and
the Blaine booze joints. Two accid-
ents were caused by these intoxicated
motorists in Ferndale last week, and
a campaign is being started against
them.
Says the Ferndale Record: -
The auto wrecks and the liberties
taken in our town by parties passing
through from across the line, the
past few days, have been a disgrace
to our city.
There is no reason why those in
such an intoxicated condition should
be allowed at largo. and imprison-
ment and heavy fines would have
been too good for some of them.
Ferndale is a town Of good, quiet,
peaceful homes. and must not become
as the tendency seems to be, a play
ground for drunken hOodlums!

runner up. The first skirmish in the
hostilities occurs tonight in, German

structed home club tackles Trenton.
The Bennis -Poth combination will be
a far different combination from any
that the fans in that locality have gazed
upon in previous games. Army Fitz-
gerald announces complete new
lineup.
The forwards will be Bruggy and
Powell, the guards Holman and DIETRICH,
and at center will be Charlie Powers, of
Paterson. The latter is claimed to be
good man and played once for Bridge
port. According to Powers, he will
play every scheduled contest. The
winner of tonight's game takes second
place in the standings.
The records show that Frank Bruggy
tops the individual efforts of the players.
The Germantown star has scored SO
points. with Campbell, of Camden, sec
ond with 81. Bruggy has played in two
less games than Campbell. Tom Bar
low, of Trenton, is third, and Ernie
Reich, of Reading, fourth.
Reading has the best defensive record,
with only 67 field goals being made
against it, while Camden has the
best offensive record with 115 goals to

league leader had more than doubled the

representing three goals from scrimmage
and 10 fouls. However, Creams tossing
from the 15-foot mark was not so good.
as he had a total of 2G attempts.
st. Joe,s other star was OakeS. who
made good four pegs from the field. and
added another point by dropping i'll one
out of three free shots. Martin and
bradley. of the victorious team. also
managed to bring up the score, getting
two and one field goal respectively.
The La Sale shooters were guarded
so closely that only brace of two
nointers were scored against St. Joe.

DRASTIC FOOTBALL
CHANGE PROPOSED

Boston. Feb. IA proposal to
change the rules of football. so that the
length of game will be regulated by
the number of plays instead of by time,
will be considered at the next meeting
of the football rules committee. The
plan. advanced by Harry Il. Coffin, II
Harvard graduate, is said to have the
Endorsement of Walter Camp. Percy ID.
Haughton and others prominent in the
sport.
The objective is to overcome the wide
variation in the number of plays in
contests directed by different officials
and to prevent a team which is leading
from delaying in order TO consume time.
Mr.. Coffin advocates Il 40 play period,
with tries for goal after touchdown. and
penalties for fouls not counted as plays.
To show the need for a change he
cites the fact that in Harvard Yale
games from 1910 to 1919 the number of
plays in each contest varied from 121
to 1G0: with the smallest period consist
ing of twenty four plays and the largest
of fifty one. In the last five Princeton
Harvard games the variation by games
was III plays to 1S6. and in the Yale
Princeton series of the last six years,
the variation was 131 to 175.
A summary of the games directed by
two leading referees is advanced by Mr..
Coffin To show Il similar marked varia-
tiOn. He adds:
"When experienced referees in a
series of games average a difference of
10 per cent and games vary over 30
per cent. and periods over 100 per cent,
in the number of plays, something is
fundamentals wrong. 1t is the subtle
ness of the watch.
"Whcu team obtains seven point
I lead and has a strong regard for the
other team. it invariably plays slowly
and greatly lowers the number of plays
in order 10 give it's opponents a mini
mum opportunity. The premium on
scoring first is altogether too great"
