The result of these accidents for 1925, aside from the property dam age involved, were fourteen persons killed and thirty injured, an in- crease of two deaths and a decrease of l6 persons injured as compared with the same period in 1924.

Thomas of the United States dis trict court today filed with the clerk of the court his opinion and order granting an injunction in behalf of the Remington Cash Register Com pany. Inc, of Ilion, N. T.. and oth- CTS, against the National Cash Reg ister company of Dayton, Ohio.
 The order restraints the infringe ment of patents for Improvements in adding and recording machines and requires an accounting and pay ment by the National Cash Register company to the Remington com pany of damages amounting to sev- eral millions. The amount Is Vari- ously estimated from s1,000,o00 to $5,000,oO0.
 Opinion Is Lengthy
 The case was tried before Judge Thomas In New Haven, lasting from November 10, 1924 to December g., 1924, during which there were IS days of testimony, with two days of argument on February 9 and 10, 1925. The opinion comprises 122 pages and is the longest ever filed by Judge Thomas. Its preparation involved the critical review by the judge of more than six volumes of court records, briefs and exhibits. the broad scope of which he men tions in his opinion.
 The specific charges in the bill in equity filed by the Remington Cash Register company were against ma Cash Register company and sold in Connecticut, known as class 1700 and class c,o0o, Of the National products.
 All Claims Valid
 Judge Thomas found all of the claims filed to be valid. The in fringement found by the judge was in the use of certain devices for a plurality of totslizers in adding machines, devices for clearing sub totals and grand totals. and methods for printing and recording such totals
 But in a masterfully exhaustive analysis of the mechanisms of the various machines involved. Judge Thomas concludes that the Peming. ton machines embody new and pre- viousy unpatented devices and that the National machines though per haps different in form. substantially have adopted those devices in vio- lation of the plaintiffs patent rights.

BOSTON BROWN
CAME To BE
WATCHED
Forty Plays Per Period sys-
tenn VIII Be Tried for
First Time

PROVIDENCE, Nov. When
Brown and Boston University meet
ut the new Brown field tomorrow
afternoon the eyes Of football fol
lovers throughout the country will
be focused on the game. the first
ever contested on an American
gridiron with d given number Of
plays instead OF the usual time
limit constituting perod.
Since the announcement by Doctor
II. w. Marvel, supervisor Of Brown
athletics, that the experiment would
be tried, there has been increasing
interest In the game. Members of
the rules conmitte, coaches, Off
@cia.s and sports writer's expect to
attend Providence football support
ers are apparently divided as to
the merits of the idea, but most
Of them agree that the experiment
is worth a trial II only to see IL II
fulfills or approximates in fact
what its proponents assert for It
in theory.
n. W. r. Brown. the Brononian
backfield coach and chief scout,
working in conjunction with Harry
R. Coffin, Of Boston, has advocated
the play system for years The late
Walter Camp favored it. So did
Percy Haughton, and it is fairly
common knowledge that Haughton
was ready to try it out at Columbia
when death interviewed. Tad Jones
OF Yale has already spoken his dis
approval, while other coaches of
prominence say that they want to
be shown.
Forty plays will constitute a period
tomorrow. Statistics prove that this
is the average number under the
present time limit of fifteen-minute
quarters. The watch will be used
during the intermissions between
quarters and halves and when it is
necessary to take time out The
Brown authorities will provide score
board facilities so that the specta-
tors may keep track Of the number
of plays, and Mr.. Coffin win be
present to explain any perplexing
point that may arise.
Head Coach Robinson of the
BronRnians win send practically his
strongest eleven on the field to
carry out the experiment. Jack
Keefer and Charlie Dixon, backfield
stars, were still limping today over
the effects of their battering in the
Dartmouth game, and it Is not like
Iy that they will be called on I'M
less they are absolutely needed.
Captain Jim Sitter is on the hos
pital list with an injured foot, SO
that the coaches have assigned
Thurston Towle to his end. Except
for this change the Brown line will
be the same that faced Dartmouth,
namely, Brody, left end; McGrillis
and Talbot, tackles; Provonchee and
Don Morey, guards; Getz, center.
In the backfield will be Randall and
Mishel, quarters; Edes and Good.
halves; Payer or Jones, full.
Boston University has been slow
in starting this season, but Coach
Whelan has his eleven coming along
rapidly and expects to give Brown
a first class battle.

REEDER'S I D {
VALUABLE
To ARMY

When Harry Wilson ran eighty
two yards and gave the Army its
touchdown against Yale last Satur-
day, young man by the name Of
Reeder was rushed In to drop-kick
a goal for the seventh point. He
did it about as carelessly as any
body ever did anywhere.
According to Captain McEwan,
Reeder is the greatest 'drop-kicker
in the country. He can kick 'em
from any angle up to forty yards.
But that's all he can do. He comes
out every afternoon and kicks goals.
Kicks them all over the field. He
doesn't know the signals, 1t is said.
He owns neither headguard NOR
pads.
Pat O'Dea, OF Wisconsin, perhaps
the greatest all-around kicker of
all time, wasn't much as a back and
had to be protected from pound
ing. Ewing, Of Princeton, great
drop-kicker, isn't a great back.
Pfaffman, Harvard's dropkickcr of
two years back, did not do anything
else.
Reeder hasn't shone as yet, but
he may be the Army's salvation
before the season is out.
