What about the new play in football
that gives the team scoring TOUCHDOWN
the right to make one play from scrim-
mage in an effort to score another point
either by crossing the goal line or kick
ing a goal from field.
Recently while in the east attending
the world series I talked with number
of leading coaches and stars Of former
years concerning the play. All agreed
the new play would simply resolve itself
into kicking game.
It was practically, agreed that very
few teams would try to cross the line
through the medium of forward pass,
circling the ends. or going through the
line. Trying to score field goal by a
drop kick or from placement would be
the play ninety nine times in a hundred
the experts agreed.
The play from scrimmage after a
touchdown was substituted for the try
for goal after a touchdown. There was
no thrill about the goal after touchdown
because there was little or no element
of uncertainty. Often some specialist
on an eleven would kick anywhere from
20 to 40 successive goals during the sea-
son according to the number of touch
downs scored.
It was more or less of a cinch. The
one injustice was that it placed a pre-
MUM on where the touchdown was
scored. II the ball was downed directly
back of the goal line a try for goal from
directly in front OF the posts was al
lowed. However, il a team scored a
touchdown at the extreme side OF the
field it was forced to take a chance on
punting out to get into a good position
to try for goal. Often the opportunity
to kick goal was lost If the punt out
was missed.
That, of course, was unfair because a |
is a touchdown regardless OF /
where the player was. downed back of |
the line. The new rule recognizes thisJ
inasmuch. as it gives the teams the same
to score from scrimmage. |
That at least makes it fair rule.
Now as to the element of uncertainty. |
It was hoped the new rule would pro- |
vide this. The skeptics were doubtful. |
Missing a goal after touchdown in the
Did days was the exception. What about
the new play? Let US glance over the
scores of a few of the big games played !

RAIL LEGISLATION POPULAR
Out of 572 Bills Introduced Last Year,
161 Became LAWS.

Regulation of the railroads has been
popular among the ninety-nine
agencies (forty- eight of which are
state legisIatures) during the last
few years.
Last year the legislatures of for
ty-two states introduced 572 bills deal
ing with transportation, of which 161
became law. A few of the 572 meas
ures introduced last year provided the
following:
To require the railroads to fence the
entire right OF way.
Prohibiting smoking on trains.
Prohibiting the use of paint spray
ing machines.
Prohibiting advertising during
threatened or actual strikes.
Prohibiting locomotives from run
ming backwards.
Requiring all passenger trains to
stop at all county cites.
Requiring railroads having tracks
along moving streams to keep the
channels of such streams clear.
Requiring railroads to see that the
minimum moving distance for the av-
erage freight car should be fifty miles
day. altho the average for the en-
tire country Is only about twenty-six
miles a day. One of these laws at
tempted to impose a penalty for de-
lay of $40 an hour.
Some twenty-eight more states spe-
Gifted headlight requirements without
regard for uniformity, and fourteen or
fifteen states have totally dissimilar
safety appliance regulations.
One state actually enacted law
requiring that when two trains using
double tracks met at a crossing they
should proceed until the other had
passed.

MURDOCH IN PLEA
Women Must Aid in Restoring
Markets to Public.
Interest of People Should Be
Dominant Factor, He Says.

Emporia, Kan, June 3.-America
must give its attention to certain great
dominant markets and the women of
America may signalize the suffrage
which they have won by a single act
bv leading in the restoration of the
principle of public interest over those
dominant markets. Victor Murdoch,
member of the federal trade commits
sion, last night told the Women's City
club of Emporia, Kan
1.-The tendency OF many of our
greater markets is to concentration
and the creation of points where the
market is made for the whole ma
tion." he said Some of these doTni-
nant markets. as in the case of the
larger terminal markets for country
produce, are wastefully inadequate in
area and facilities Again certain
markets for other types of commodi-
ties seek to avoid any public supervi-
sion-as the grain markets. The New
York Exchange, a national, in fact n
world market for securities, is not

''It is obvious that more and more
the women of America are becoming

new ENGINE is DESIGNED
Turbine Electric Would Do Away With
Overhead Wire and Power Plant.

Turbine Electric Would Do Away With
Overhead Wire and Power Plant.
The latest design in locomotive con-
struction is seen in a condensing tur-
bine electric engine recently built in
England The Railway Review is in
receipt of the details of the general
construction of this new locomotive
which. it says. is still experimental
The chief points of interest in it are
as follows:
In appearance it resembles both the
steam locomotive and the electric To-
connective and is swung on two chassis.
each supported by eight driving
wheels. One of the chassis is used for
the general ton of steam and the other
for the generation of electricity and
the condensation of exhaust steam.
The source of the locomotives pow
er is steam. which. instead of being
applied direct to the rails thru a re-
ciprocating engine, is transmitted thru
steam turbines to an electric genera
tor which develops the current, which,
in turn, is applied to the rails as in
an ordinary electric locomotive. The
principle of the turbine electric plant
has been in use for a few years in
locomotive lies in the fact that the
advantages of an electric locomotive
may in this way be obtained without
the necessary and enormous expense
of overhead wires. or third rails, ami
the development of large power
plants.
Another advantage is seen in the
condenSing feature of this locomotive.
The steam, after leaving the turbine.
is passed into a condenser. installed
on the rear end of the second chassis,
and here the steam is condensed into
water which can again be generated
into steam This means that the loco
motive can run a longer distance
without stopping for water. and also
that its exhaust is passed off into a
vacuum instead of against atmos-
pheric pressure. 1t has been recog-
nized for years that locomotive eff
cheney and economy in operation has
been handicapped because of the eX-
haust against atmospheric pressure.
The locomotive is now undergoing
various tests. the results of which
should be known in the near future.

KATY" EARNINGS INCREASE
Operating Revenues We're Cut But So
Were the Operating Expenses.

The Missouri. Kansas & Texas lines
earned Sol per cent on property in
vestment in 1921. according to the an
nual report of Receiver G. f. Schaff,
as against 1.TS per cent in 1920. De-
creased traffic resulted in a falling
off of $9,89S.761. or IA per cent in
operating reevnue. 1t is interesting to
note that practically go per cent of the
decrease in revenue was due to falling
off in passenger earnings aItho passen-
ger earnings are less than % per cent
of the total revenue
The reduction in operating revenues
was more than offset by a decrease
of S19,S25.094 in operating expenses.
The greatest reduction in operating
expenses was in the cost of conduct
ing transportation. A saving of So
expenses, the transportation ratio to
operating revenues being reduced
from 43.S7 per cent in 1920 to 1904
per cent in 1921 Expenditures for
maintenance of way were reduced So
5S7,013 and for maintenance of equip
ment $3,574.9 1S. with a result that
total operating expenses in 1921 were
ing revenues. as against 1884 per
cent in the preceding year. Tax ac-
cruals for the year were $2,612. 463, or
an increase of $523,6OS over 1920
Omitting federal items, included in
the income account at the direction
of the interstate commerce commits
sion, NJ, K. & T. net income for the
year was $2,674,341. as against a de-
ficit in 1920 Including these federal
ations. the net income was $5,9O1. $40.
The report shows an increased Invest
ment in roadway and equipment OF

BUILD BRIDGE A MILE LONG.
New york Central Will Spend $780,
100000 to Cross the Hudson.

The New York Central has author
lied the immediate commencement of
the Castleton bridge and cutoff call
ing for the ultimate expenditure of
approximately $20,00O,0O0, the ex-
penditure in the next two years being
about $12,O0O,O00.
The improvement work included is
a high-leveI steel bridge across the
Hudson river about twelves miles
south of Albany, a large freight CLASH
fication yard, and about twenty miles
of double track connections. This i'm
provement will increase the freight
and passenger carrying capacity of the
road while it may make possible a
reduction in time of transit of fast
freight between North Atlantic points
and the middle west.
The bridge will be double track
with provision for two additional
tracks at some future date. 1t will
have one 60O-foot and one 40O-foot
main truss spans over the channel
thanked by steel viaduct approaches,
the total length being about one mile.
1t is expected that this work will be
completed and in operation by early
in 1924.
