the Princeton end for the first
touchdown Of the game. Two of the
Tiger players missed Aldrich entirely,
while the third tackser 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 coach
has only a 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"

CAMERA WILL HELP SCOUTING
Asserted Better Line of Information
Could Be Secured on Play OF
Future Opponent.

Football scouting some day will be
done by means Of a movie camera, is
the prediction of F. III. Haskell, Ohio
State university photographer, who
has been a student Of the game
for years. Figuring the actual time
the ball Is in play at four periods
Of fifteen minutes each at about eleven
minutes, Haskell estimates that COM
plete picture version of the game
could be procured for about $135.
With the new movie camera similar
in size and action to the better-known
high-speed camera in use today, Has
kett says scout could get much
better line on the play of future OPP
ponent by means of the film than by
notes alone.

BEzDEK AS FOOTBALL COACH
Turned Out One of Greatest Teams at
Penn State-Excels on Diamond
and at Basketball.

Hugo Bezdek, former manager of the
Pirates, has turned out one of the
greatest football teams of the year at
Penn State. There are no better
coaches than the squat Bohemian, and
he has proved it on the gridiron, dia-
mond and in the basketball cage.
When Barney Dreyfuss tied the tin
ware to Jimmy Callahan in the summer
of 1917 he called Bezdek into action.
Hugo wasn't supposed to know any
thing about big league baseball, but he
piloted the Pittsburghers into fourth
place in 1918
The next season started In muddle.

TURNED 1T BACK TO BAKER
Chinese Dairy Farmer Had Good Ex-

Without Using Scales.

A dairy farmer living in a small
town was recently summoned to ap-
pear before the local magistrate on a
charge Of selling butter under weight.
The complainant was the village
baker, who felt he was being wronged
when he discovered that every pound
of the farmers butter fell below the
weight that pound ought to be.
Have you a pair of scales?" asked
the magistrate of the farmer.
"Yes, your honor
"And weightsY'
mo. your honor, have no weights"
"You have no weightsI How, then,
can you weigh your butterT
"That is very simple, your honor.
Since the baker has bought his butter
from me, buy my bread from him,
and his one-pound loaves serve me as
weights to weigh my butter. If the
butter does not weigh what it should,
tt is the bakers fault, and not mine,
you see."-North China Herald.

Binder the direction of Miss Ester Gustafson a group of young people m Pomfret gave really very eredltable performance in Pomfret Hall last Fri day evening, of a comedy entitled Much Ado About Betty" The play was perfect in detail, and the stage setting left nothing to be desired. The Oldest Inhabitant informs us that it was the very best amateur perform anee ever given in Pomfret Hall

 Miss Gustafson may take much credit Co herself for the performances, and has reason to be proud that two or three neighboring towns have asked that the play be repeated in their local halls.
 The program follows
