HEN spring comes again
I n ! the present indications are
wv that foot ball practice in
many colleges and universe
ties throughout the country
will be strongly emphasized.
In great ma jority of places Spring
practice has been a pretty perfume
tory affair, or at least there has been
nothing intensive about It, Funda-
mentals have been stressed with
training periods running from two to
three weeks. eliminating in a scrim-
mage or two.
But from now on Spring practice
is going to be much more serious at
many colleges and universities, a
prospect which chiefly may be as
cribed to the influence of Notre Dame,
wherein six weeks in the Spring play
ers are taught enough foot ball to
last them throughout the year.
The formula at South Bend seems
in recent years to have run about as
follows:
In the Spring the men learn plays
and all details of the plays; in Sep
TENDER they merely practice signals
and in the Fall they play foot ball.
All.Year Foot Ball.
Chick Meehan last year not only Dor.
rcwed the Rockne idea, but went 1t
one better. His New York University
, squad played foot ball all Winter-out-
doors when the weather permitted.
indoors when it didn't. And to this,
according to Meehan. is largely due
that success of the University Heights
eleven last season.
Following last years plan they are
playing foot ball right now at New
York University and the work is so
devised that the men are getting
quite a lot of fun out of it.
The Princeton foot ball committee
Just now Is contemplating an intensive
campaign in the Spring. The one oh
s1acle that looms is the fact that i'm
portant foot ball men in the Spring
are out for base ball. track crew and
! lacrosse and so forth
If foot ball practice in the Spring
is to he tested with any degree of
adequacy 1t is felt that all the men
| who win be available for the eleven
next Fall should participate in the
workouts.
How this could be arranged without
seriously handicapping teams In other
sports is the problem now being faced.
OF course, il foot ball were held to
be absolutely pre-eminent, so impor-
tant that all other sports must suffer,
then the way would be clear.
But there are many objections to
this, particularly in a university
where the ambition is to emphasize
all sports in their proper season and
not let foot ball get out of hand. The
chances are that Princeton win not
rob the Peter of general athletics to
pay the Paul of foot ball, but that
some scheme will be devised whereby
Spring gridiron work will none the
less be more significant than it has
ever been at Nassau.
Another Spring tendency which will
be quite noticeable will be informal

MOSCOW, Feb. 9.-The Soviet
Government is having success in en-.
couraaging the accumulation of
private capital in savings banks, it
is shown in statements just issued
for the past fiscal year. Thrift and
saving are vigorously recommended
in posters. Savings banks pay from
6 to percent on savings accounts.
In two years the number of de-
positors has jumped from less than
$4,000 to about 100000 and the num-
Der of savings banks has grown from
357 to 14,757 in that time. About $50,
10000 are now deposited in savings
banks. Last year new deposits
amounting to $26,000.000 were re-
ceived, the statement declares. This
compared with an average yearly de-
post of 500 900, 900 in the pre-revolu-
tionary years. In each of the past
three years the number of new de-
posits has almost tripled.
