the Princeton end for the first
touchdown of the game. Two of the
Tiger players missed Aldrich entirely,
while the third tackler allowed himself
to be dragged over the goal line be-
fore bringing Aldrich down.
In the old days coaches had the
players indulge in tackling practice
every day. The tackling dummy was
badly treated in the old days. It's
different now with the new game.
These are the days of the forward
passes, shifts and deceptive plays.
There is, so much more for the player
to learn that the coach spends much
of the time instructing his players on
attack and defense that formerly was
devoted to tackling.
Percy Haughton, former coach Of
Harvard, briefly explains why tack
ling as an art has suffered. Here is
the way he puts it: "When a coach
has only short time to prepare his
line of battle, in order to meet the
varied attack that he must face, he
cannot give too much time to one
subject. Tackling was once the big
thing in football. 1t still plays a
leading role, but has suffered because
coaches can no longer give the neces-
sary time to perfecting that feature
of the game"

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as hike
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, q
preparation J have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

CATCHER SAVES CLOSE GAME
Florida Backstop Grabs Ball in Old
Drain and Completes Play
by Clever Trick.

There are clever, resourceful catch
ers in Florida, take it from Bob Gilks,
the Yankee scout. In a game way
down in the everglades country, with
three on bases and two out, one run
needed to win in the ninth inning, the
man at the bat pounded the ball
straight down at the ground in front
Of the plate.
The sphere struck on thin crust
of earth over an old drain and
crashed through and out of sight. All
Of the runners began to travel. The
team in the field was up in the air, for
no one could see the ball.
All except the catcher. He dived
for the ball, stuck his arm down clear
to his shoulder and grabbed the ball.
Then, lying full length, he pushed his
toe back and touched the plate just
as the runner from third flashed
across the plate, saving the game for
the home team.

WAS ONLY COMIC OPERA WAR
Americans Experienced Odd Pro-
visions When Joining Spanish
Legion Against Moors.

1t was just comic opera war any
how, according to SO young Americans
who have returned to New York from
whence they sailed two months ago
to join the Spanish Foreign Legion
for service against the Moors. The
would-be Foreign Legionnaires were
represented in numbers among ex-serv-
Ice men applying to the American Lee
gion employment bureau for any kind
of work.
After enlistment in New York, the
recruits, almost all of whom had
served overseas with the American
army, were sent to Ceuta, Africa.
There they were informed for the first
time that out Of their pay Of AZ
pesetas a day (about 60 cents) they
must buy their own uniform, food,
even arms and ammunition.
"It was the funniest war you ever
saw" declared George DiLIond OF
Brooklyn, who explained that the hard
er you fought the more it would cost
you for ammunition. If man fought
very hard he would soon be deeply in
debt to the Spanish government. If,
on the other hand, he conserved am
munition and tried to save money, he
stood excellent chances of being
picked off by a Moor. Besides all
that, the Americans, who thought they
were to be officers, were assured that
they were welcomed only as privates.

IN BEHALF OF INSANE MEN
Test Suit Filed in Providence, r. |.
May Affect Numerous
Other Cases.

Are former soldiers whose minds
were wrecked by shell-shock, wounds
and gas, temporarily or permanently
insane? The question is to be decided
in a suit against the government to
compel payment of war-risk insurance,
filed in Providence, r. L, by James B.
Littlefeld, attorney for the American
Legion.
The action has been taken in behalf
of three soldiers, Adam Mikillwicz,
Giuseppe Vftullo and James MCGEE.
1t is alleged by the Legion attorney
that the three are totally disabled as
a result of insanity. The government
insurance bureau, Mr. Littlefield
charges, has refused to pay the in
surance of the men on the ground that
they may recover.
Their minds dwarfed from shell
shock, several thousand ex-service
men are confined in insane asylums
and private and government hospitals.
The decision sought is that the men
are permanently disabled and as such
are entitled to the full money allow
ance awarded by the government in
stead of small temporary compensa-
ton. The result of the suit fled in
Providence will affect similar cases
about to be filed in all parts bf the
country.

Needs New PoIl-Tax Law.

In passing an amended bill exempt.
ing ex-service men of Alabama from
the payment of poll tax, the legisla-
lure of that state has unwittingly dis
franchised the men it sought to bene-
fit. The amendment was held uncon-

permitted to vote in recent elections
were those who became disabled from
wounds or sickness during the war,
provided they did not own $500 worth

declared unconstitutional. II will be

If one set of radio instruments can
