ham Is strong for the Mississippi

ankle sprained in the Purple-Tiger

With this exception the team is
expected to start in fair order against

practice field to a considerable ex-
tent by the Painters during the first
of the week but the Hilltoppers were
sent thrt ugh the regular routine
yesterday afternoon in secret. which
will be continued until after the
Howard game on November 25 wher

think that these games are among
the greatest boosters that football
has. think that they tend to make
the interest national instead Of Sec
tional and that such a state of affairs
is very good for the sport. OF course
these trips should not be too long. i
do not favor the long trips to the
Pacific coast because | believe that
they take too much time away from
the class room. A line should be
drawn somewhere and / think that II
they should limit trips to radius
of 1000 miles it would be a good
thing for the sport.
The y-For-Point
Another point that has received a
great deal of discussion this fall has
been the try-for-point after the
touchdown. There are many coaches
who favor this new feature and
there are. perhaps, the same number
who would like TO see it done away
with I am rather inclined to agree
with the last named group. How
ever, think that OF all the rules ever
made concerning the goal after the
touchdown, the present effort is the
best II is at least team effort and
the game is no longer won or lost
by the skill of one player.
Novel Scoring Method
think that it might be a good
thing to have some sort of an official
score Kept of the yardage gained by
each team and in case of tie game
have the winner decided by the total
number of Yards gained Another
way might be to have the side that
scored the greatest number of first
downs declared the victor. No one
likes a tie game. But the idea of
having an extra period played is not
a good one There is a limit to all
human endurance and the players
cannot be expected to carry on for
ever.
/ think that coaches and public
alike are beginning TO realize what
a wonderful chance the football men
tor has to develop his charges into
splendid manhood. The days of
rough house tactics are gone forever
and in the future the successful
coach will be the one that. first OF
all, turns out real men. The Win
ming OF football games is. after all,
