DEFENSE CAUSES WORRY,
Removal of Restrictions on Forward
Pass Results In Return to Running
Game Balance of Offense Is In
creased Over Defense.
The football season of 1912 is well
under way, and the big elevens are
rounding into the home stretch with
the championship games not far off.
The large totals made by the leading
teams of late seem significant in a way
and are in marked contrast to the scor
ing done by these' teams during the
same period last year. The extra
down, shortened length of the field
and removal of the restrictions on the
forward pass seem to be bearing fruit;
also accomplishing the purpose of the
rule makers by increasing the balance
of the offense over the defense to such
an extent that, barring accidents and
flukes, the stronger and more finished
team cannot be denied. The team
which has developed a powerful at
tack is bound to get results.
The new rules have been given a
thorough tryout, and, if all signs are
not amiss, it behooves the coachers to
begin to worry about their defense,
which was not of so much moment
last year and which was neglected in
some cases to a great extent in an at
tempt to work out the scoring offense.
The final verdict, however, must be
reserved until the big teams meet in
late November.
The scores in themselves are pretty
conclusive evidence that the running
game of the big eleven is coming back
Into its own again. The weaker teams
will now find it very difficult to stave
off defeat with a defense and an Aver
age kicker. They must be prepared to
carry the ball themselves or it will
eventually end mp in the shadow of the
goal posts. Scoreless ties consequently
will be the great exception and not a
likelihood.
The forward pass, deceptive attack
and the kicking game will be the spe
cialties upon which such a team must
base its offense. As yet no team has
shown a forward passing game which
could be called consistent.
Three out of five or thereabouts have
been the average of the best forward
passing teams. Their success has been
confined to a large extent to the short
forward pass. The ball is now becom
ing too valuable to throw around. We
find a great many of the larger elevens
"with a strong running attack, using it
as a threat to hold off the defensive
backs or as a part of their open game
when they wish to open up in midfield
or take their opponents by surprise at
unexpected moments in the game.
Princeton among the larger elevens
in the east has been getting the best
results from her forward passes and is
going to give any defensive back field
it comes up against all kinds of diffi
culty in stopping the quick throws by
Andrews and Baker, who have been
passing with wonderful accuracy and
speed to their ends.
The Army has a clever scoring pass
of the same kind, with a halfback
slipping through the line unseen to
take the ball in case the ends are cov
ered. It is the team with the expert at the
delivering end which is showing a for
ward passing game worthy of the
name. It is the head work the expert
uses in making his passes that counts.
There are many good backs who can
pass the ball well and the large ma
jority of ends can catch it, but there
are few backs who can connect up the
receiving end and the delivering end
with any consistent average.
It requires a cool, brainy man, who
is not easily flustered. Such a back
will often win games for his team
with the odds heavily against him.
This year he has the whole field in
front of him in which to place the
ball, an added down in which to try
the pass, and a strengthened running
game is making the work of the de
fensive back a pretty ticklish propo
sition. On the other hand, there are only
certain occasions and certain parts of
the field In which the forward pass
may be tried and which help the de
fense to call the turn and be ready
for the pass when it comes. Jt is the
unexpected pass, used by the quarter
back when, according to all the laws
of generalship and conservative foot
ball, a running play should be used,
that is most often successful.
Then also a team with a good run
ning game and a strong punter does
not like to give its opponents the
chance of intercepting the ball with
the advantage of being able at times
to run it back or the advantage of
having possession of it much farther
up in the opponent's territory than if
it had been given on a punt.
Some ends have shown marked abil
ity in receiving the pass, especially the
men who are endowed with the height
and reach and who have had baseball
or basketball experience. Felton and
Dana of Harvard, Gillespie of the
Army and Bomeisler of Yale are types
of men who. when the ball Is passed
In their vicinity, usually manage to
beat the ether man to it. They seem to
have the knack of being at the rlgh)
place at the right time.
Michelangelo.
Michelangelo while painting "The
Last Judgment" fell from his scaffold
and received a painful injury in the
leg. He shut himself up and would not
see any one. Bacio Rontini. a cele
brated physician, came by accident to
see him. He found all the doors closed.
No one responding, hp went into the
cellar and came upstairs. He found
Michelangelo in his room, resolved
to die His friend the physician would
not leave him. He brought him irtH '
the peculiar frnme of mind into whirl
he had fallen.
FROCK OF BROWN SERGE.
More popular this winter than the
former favorite, the middy suit, is the
campfire girl costume which is being
worn indoors. This costume includes
a trimly belted short skirt with big
pockets. It is very natty when devel
oped in brown serge, touched up with
collar and cuffs of. tan cloth or suede
leather.
The Making of Cords.
Now that fancy cords are so much
used why not make your own for less
than half the store price? The number
of threads needed depends on the
thickness of the cord desired. Experi
ment with a short bit will illustrate
this. For a four strand cord measure
little more than four times the length
desired. Double once, then stand at one
end of the room facing an assistant (at
the opposite endi and let both twist
the thread away from you in opposite
directions. Now catch the cord in the
center, join the ends evenly and release
the center, which will allow it to curl
itself into the finished cord, only
smoothing occasionally to prevent
kinks. If the thread is very fine or an
unusually heavy cord is desired the
process may be repeated, twisting the
twisted threads, doubling again and al
lowing the cord to adjust itself. Fasten
raw ends with a self knot and there
will be no raveling.
How Do You Like the Pannier?
Particularly graceful and pretty is
this little gown of taupe charmeuse.
GOWN OF TAUPE OHABMBUS1.
which has a pannier tunic over a plait
ed skirt and a wide collar of tucked
net.
The skirt shows just the tip of a
dainty patent leather boot with a but
toned top of taupe suede.
Turkish Toweling.
The new Turkish toweling has among
its possibilities developed an aptitude
for the making of children's coats; it is
quite inexpensive, and it Is not now re
garded as possessing these qualities,
but there is much approval given to
coats of taffeta finished by scalloped,
cape-like collars of the silk or made
with a plain yoke and worn with a
lawn collar.

The Lone Star of Texas.
The origin of the l.one Star Hag ol
the republic of Texas is not entirely
clear. The claim has been made that it
was unfurled in the present territory
of Louisiana in 1810. but other search
ers cannot find earlier trace of it than
the presentation of such a banner tc
the company of Captain Andrew Rob
inson in May. 1835. Still another claim
is made for a flag unfurled at Velascc
Jan. 8. 1836. and said to have been
made by a Miss Troutman of Nash
ville. Ga. One story has it that the
star came from the fact that Governoi
Smith, for lack of a seal, used a brass
button from his coat which bore a five
pointed star. St. Louis Republic.

The Best Light at
the Lowest Cost
ELECTRIC LIGHT is the most suitable for homes,
offices, shops and other places needing light.
Electricity can be used in any quantity, large or
small, thereby furnishing any required amount of light.
Furthermore, electric lamps can be located in any place
thus affording any desired distribution of light.
No other lamps possess these qualifications, there
fore it is not surprising that electric lamps are rapidly
replacing all others in modern establishments.
