SOCCER TEAMS
 PLAY SATURDAY
Wylam Meets Ensley And Pratt Tackles
 Fairfield

Vivian journeys to Ensley and Pratt City goes to Fairfield for the soccer battles in the T. c. I. league Saturday afternoon. The games will mark the final conflicts before the contests for the Ramsay trophy to be given the best eleven in the loop. These games will probably be played at Redwood and elaborate preparations are being made for the titular soccer engagements.
 With Ensley and Pratt tied for sec ond place in the league rating, and with the Ensley playing the leaders while Pratt tackles the cellar champs Satur- day, the Pratt City eleven will have an excellent chance to go ahead of their rivals for the honors of the runner-up position. However, Ensley, with a much strengthened team, will have a good chance to turn back the leading Wylam outfit Saturday and followers of the Ensley clan are freely predict ing a victory. Wylam, though, will probably be favored to win, even though the contest will be played in Ensley.
 Pratt will be an easy favorite to triumph over Fairfield, a team which has found the going rough all season. The latter will have the advantage of their home grounds, and may show un- expected strength.
 All four teams are priming for the contests for the Ramsay cup and should be in great shape for the Saturday battle.

 VICTOR BY K. 0.
Puts Estridge To Sleep In The Second
 Round

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Paul Berlen- bach of Astoria, Long Island, knocked out Larry Estridge, Harlem negro mid dleweight, in. the second round of a scheduled 12-round contest at Madison Square Garden tonight. Berlenbach weighed 163M and Estridge 155A.
 In the semi-final of 12-rounds Jack Delaney of Bridgeport, Conn.,, played with Pal Reed of Boston and captured the decision although the crowd railed at the conquerer of Berlenbach for his failure to deliver the finishing blow. Reed fought but could not equal the speed or meet the left jabs of his adver- sary.
 Estridge, heralded as the best among the negro middleweights, proved dis nal failure, being on the run and out classed throughout the five minutes of fighting which preceded the knockout. Berlenbach hurled rights, and lefts at the start but they failed to land because his opponent was continually on the move, contenting himself with feeble jab.
 After two minutes of the second round, the negro went down under a volley to the head from both hands. He rose at eight but was unable to con tinue and the referee stepped between them.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Scoring will be among the problems facing the American football coaches when they gather for their annual meeting here next week.
 Already it has been suggested that the point after touchdown be elimi- mated and that the touchdown scored from reception of a forward pass count only three points, the same as a goal from the field scheme designed to eliminate the deluge of passes at the end of a game when a losing team makes a last effort to recover. The present scoring system with slight changes, has stood for many years.
 Another proposal which has been made annually for several years has had to do with eliminating tie games by pro- viding an extra period or deciding the winner by giving an extra point for the team which made the greastest number of first downs or gained the most yards in the regular playing period.
 Weight Used To Count
 Tn the early days of the present cen tury weight counted more than speed, for the rules provided that an eleven might gain a first down by advancing only five yards in three attempts, where now the distance is ten yards in four. Those were the days of shinguards and noseguardS, accoutrements unknown to modern gridiron.
 Hurdling and flying tackles had not been banned, so players went into q
