In sport the unexpected usually
produces the big thrill.
Most sports thrive on their uncer-
tainty. Interest would soon cease
il every game was the same old
stereotyped affair.
The unexpected is not always Il
brainy mancuver; sometimes it
might almost be classcd as "bone."
However, as rule the unexpected
requires thought rather than lack
Of it.
Football, like all other red blood
ed sports, offers many opportunities
for the pulling of the unexpected.
That is what makes it great game
Two years ago in game between
Chicago and Princeton, the Tigers,
although outplaycd throughout the
game, defeated Chicago because the
team was resourceful, did the UNI
expected.
Pass Proved Big Thrill
The big thrill Of that game, which
was won by Princeton, 81 to 10, was
Il throwing of forward pass by a
Princeton man while standing 10
yards back of his own goal line.
Princeton at the time was trailing
and there was not much time to play.
If Princeton was to have chance,
the Tigers must retain possession
OF the ball.
Unable to gain in the shadow Of
their own goal on the first two
downs, Princeton player dropped
back as if to kick. 1t seemed certain
that punt would be the play.
Then to the amazement of the
crowd and the bewilderment of the
Chicago team, the Princeton player
completed a long forward pass and it
was their ball on the Tigers 40-yard.
A few minutes later Princeton
scored Il touchdown.
A forward pass from back of the
goal line is sure rarity in football,
truly the unexpected.

Downs Pays Tribute to the
Luscious Georgia Peach
The Fruit Brings Millions of Dollars
To the State Annually.

A tribute to the Georgia peach is
paid by L. A. Downs, president OF the
Central of Georgia railway, in a state
ment that sets forth its fine qualities
as an ideal dish-delightful, nourish-
ing and health giving.
Mr.. Downs states that approximate
~ 1000 cars have been moved by the
Central to date and that about 5000
additional cars. making a total OF g.
900, will probably be handled during
the season He says that Georgia has
not had a crop failure in 20 years-a
record not equaled by any other peach
growing territory. The peach industry,
he declares is an illustration OF the
results OF intelligent cooperation be-
tween grower and carrier The grow
er has studied scientific culture and
has developed fine product; the rail-
roads have developed proper retrlger-
alton, ample car supply and quick
schedule to distant markets. The
Georgia Peach Growers Exchange is
now providing modern methods OF dis
tribution. In consequence, the whole
country is able to enjoy the Georgia
peach, which brings millions OF dol
lars to the state The railway presi-
dent points out that his road handles
peaches for but short distance and
that the interest OF the Central is not
a selfish one, but that the road does
participate in the prosperity that
comes to the people of this territory.

DRUG ADDICTS ARE FEWER;
NOT MORE THAN 10000
Peak Was Reached in 1900, When
There Were 100000 in U. S.

Drug addiction is on the decline.
There are now probably not more
than 10000 addcts in the United
States and their number is decreasing,
says a report just published by the
United States Public Health service
This report is the result OF study
OF the extent and trend of drug adj
diction which finds the peak was
reached about 1900, when there may
have been more than 100000 addicts
The number is now steadily on the
decline.
Reasons for the conviction OF inves-
tigators that drug addiction is decreas-
ing are given as the increasing eff
cheney OF measures for the control OF
the drug trade. the prohibition of i'm
ports of smoking opium, and the in
creasing caution exercised by physi-
clans in prescribing habit-forming
drugs.

land, at Rate of IS Feet Year.
With IS villages swept away by the
ravages of the sea, the English gov
eminent is taking steps to save the
remaining villages along the coast Of
Yorkshire Already, several OF them
are in danger OF being submerged, ii
is feared.
A chalk cliff and a sea-wall will be
used in an effort to hold back the
waves OF the Humber river and the
North sea. The chalk cliff will be built
along the coast near Spurn Head and
the sea wall off Kilnsea. World war
veterans will do the work.
The sea, aided in its depredations
by shifting sand dunes, is eating away
the coast OF Yorkshire at the rate OF
IS feet year, it is estimated. Two sea
port towns and another busting bust
ness center are in danger of being de
stroyed, according to scientists.
The building of the cliff and the sea-
wall are only the first and smallest
steps in a mammoth reclamation pro-
gram being outlined by government
engineers. Efforts will be made. it is
planned, to reclaim several lost vii
lagos from the sea and sand that COW
