The scoring system is also helpful
in aiding a coach to select a team

opponent aggregation is known to
have strong end and the center of

win show which backs are more eff

rather than skirting the extremities.
By use of the charts. coaches are
able to instruct quarterbacks which
carriers are liable to gain on certain
plays. Interesting comparisons are
found in yards gained by bucking

Attempt Is Made to Bring About End of Farm Laborcrs' Strike in Nor folk, England.

London, March A. tBy Associated Press) .-Another effort to settle the strike of farm laborers in Norfolk will get under way today when rep. resentatives of employers and work. CTS meet in the old palace of bishops in Norwich. A good natured discus. sion is expected although several at- temps to bridge the difficulties have already failed.
 The contention of the farmers tha, the condition of their industry does not enable them to pay more is rec ognized. but the men say that they cannot live on the terms their em- ployers offer.
 Some of the large landowners have taken the side of the laborers. King George, who farms one of the biggest areas of Norfolk--the Sandringham estate--is reported to have intimate;1 that if today's conference Is abortive he will make separate arrangements with his men to insure them decent living conditions. -s
