frHxpJttining a nice new way to play the gridiion game. The only thing to be done
"yas to eliminate the stop-watch, and other i hronomcters and allow the team
to work fortv pl.-ns each period. It was not explained whether each side was
entitled to forty ruthes or twenty, but this did not interfere with th idea. A
certain number of plays would bo allowed each period, and after that the team
Should have to start all ocr ugaiu.
It was claimed that a team in the lead would -luw i;p the game m order to
tpretent the other side from scoring. That's just as good an argument as any
'Srhich could be advanced, for it shows just how feasible the idea is. " The ob
jective," says the dispatch, "is to overcome the wide variation in the number
of plays in contests directed by different officials and to prevent a team which

Limiting the number of plays in each period would he the same as allowing
uly fWo men to bat each inning in a baseball game, whether they hit safely or ,
not. It would rob the gam" of one of Us mo3t vital features uncertainty, as
the last few minutes always are exciting when the game is close. Then ngain,
'ao one Tinows how it would work out. If a team started on a march down the
iflcld, with a chance of scorins a winning touchdown, it would be a great thing
"to call a halt on the 1-yard line because all of the plajs had been ucd up.
This isn't the first time nn idea like this ha been advanced. A tew years ,
ago some one suggested that a team be allowed, ten rushes aud the other team '
ten, working on that basis until the period was over, and then start all over i
f again. That was laughed down, but at that it is more feasible than this latest
. theory. It is said that Walter Camp. Percy Ilaughton and other piominent

College Boxing
INASMUCH as boxing la a great game
when' properly conducted, there is no
reason why intercollegiate boxing should
not be turned iuto a major sport.
In the first place, there is no finer
lecreation or training. In the second
place, the game isn't us rough as either
football or wrestling. The fact that a
few spoonfuls of gore are Bometimcs
spilled means nothing, for the injurious
effects rarelv last tvcnty-four hours.
The world still has n few flabby cit
iwns left who shrink from the mere
thought of blood, which is nearly al
wnvg of minor consequence. Colleges
and universities have n wonderful
chance to add a new and attractive
sport to their intrcollcgiato ,nenus
(new, we mean, to the intercollegiate
menus) that will furnish recreation and
entertainment for additional 'thousands
who may not care for football, rowing
or baseball.
Boxing for New Yorlt
BOXING has come and gone via New
York state in sudden shifts through
n ni,n.llfT nf icflr.
On this next occasion the Legisla
ture should see that the proper bill is
passed ami the proper commission ap
pointed. This commission should cou
Kider nothing except the best interests
of the spott. -with power to drive nil
offenders out of the game.
If the job is created merely to land
a fat assignment for some politician,
the u.sual detonation will occur on sched
ule time. . ,
Spring Training
THE time to develop the passing and
kicking game for football is through
the spring. . , . ,
When October arrives there isn t
lima onmmli tn handle these two fea
tures properly and then award sufficient
practice to tackling, .blocking, signal
practice, the running game and other
numeious complications that must be
looked after.
Two months of spring ttaining atthe
art of passing and receiving aud kicking
and handling kicks will return dividends
around -10 per cent. Who could, nsk
for more?
The Home -Run Habit
IT HAS been argued that inasmuch as
Babe Ruth had a big home-run year
last season he will hardly repeat.
Fortunately for the luster of the emi
nent Babe's fence-busting future, past
records fail to support tbia logic.
Gavvv Cravath led the National
League'in 101". He promptly repeated
in 101-1. and in 1015 he not only re
peated, but rau his mark up to twenty
four. , , .
He started another home-run epi
demic in 1017. and after leading the
league that year repeated again in 11)15
ami 1010. , , k .
