main the same. However, Il the
goal after touch down IS missed one
point should be deducted from tho
teams total.
1T has been suggested that SONS
new angle be introduced to take
the place Of the goal after touch
down.
zone suggestion Is that the ball
be put in scrimmage on the 10
yard line. Tho team having made
the touchdown would be privileged
to forward pass, carry the ball, or
try a drop kick or q kick from
placement. Major Daley, West
Point coach, Is the originator Of
this idea.
"The team having the ball would
be given one down. They could
make any OF the four plays sus-
gested. lit was carried across the
line or booted across the upright
the team having the ball would be
credited with one point.
eff the defensive team commits
. foul on this play the point is to
be awarded to the offensive team.
II the offensive team commits a
foul, the point, even II made, is not
allowed.
There Is no thrill in the goal
after touchdown. The only thrill
comes when It is missed. The plan
suggested would certainly lend an
element OF uncertainty to the game.
III such a scheme. is adopted,'
provisions should be made that
only seven men should be on the
defending teams line. On such a
play the offensive and defensive
team should only have seven men
on the line"

The Importance of
AnatOle France

American readers than the opinions
of NJ Bergeret, WHICH seem to the
present writer more worth while as
being in better perspective. There
are also several volumes of stories,
sketches and essays. the best known
being Les sept femmes de la Barbe-
Bleu,' none of which can be left
aside as unimportant. A complete
photography would fill a. good many
lines of type.
Anatole France is also eminent
among creative writer's in his great
erudition; it is always unostenta-
tious, but always serving as a rich
background. He is deeply versed in
archaeology. for instance, and often
makes not merely skillful but scien-
tifically exact use of such detail in
his imaginative writings, which is
none too common thing since it is
very easy to fake a sufficient
knowledge of such matters to serve
for the purposes of Action. But here
Frances scholarship is sound. So,
too, with history, though like all crit
ical students he is sometimes in
slight disagreement with others. His
work also shows an astonishing
range of reading in all the great
literatures, the requirement of an
almost encyclopedia mind
He was elected to the Academy in
1886 as successor to De Lesseps, an
episode of which NJ. GseIl's book
gives an entertaining, travestied ac-
count. France tells us that his cleo
tion was due to Ludovic Halevy and
was matter of politics" He tells
the story. ,attributing it to Halevy-
