Rule Is, section 6.
Team has ball on opponents 25-
yard line, score tie and less than q
minute to play. 1t is first down. The
play is obvious drop or place kick.
Any delay. in trying same. will prove
fatal. as the time will likely be up be-
fore another play can be attempted.
Too many auarterbacks fail to
make use of the one opportunity pre-
sented them on this occasion and at
tempt to score by run or a pass.
The pass rarely will score here. as q
good defensive team will play for
pass and break 1t up. on the theory
that a few. yards gained by rushing
will do no harm. whereas q long pass
will defeat them. They will be on
guard to break up passes
Drop-kick or place kick. The new
requirement of foot ball-the try-for-
point after touchdown-has developed
a good place kicker or drop kicker on
nearly every team. and there is no
reason now why he should not be
employed In such situations as outlined

Sound athletic training makes better

sport. is of incalculabIe value in any
crisis of his life.
with reference to the far eastern
games to be held in Osaka next year.
we ought to search every city. every
municipality and every barrio In the
Philippines for good material. There
is no reason why there should not
be, and there is every reason why
there should be material in all the
schools. beginning with the univer-
sity and high schools to pick out
boys who have special qualifications
and who promise to make good ma

"The winning of these games means

AS matter Of fact. the National
Association of Minor Leagues is too
bulky. 1t should be split into two dt-

grade should be settled By govern

he is deluged with trouble In the
