By Another Year
WITHIN another year there is a vcrx
tronc chance that tho coal after
touchdown will be abolished completely
ana tuc toucnaown uscit allotted seven
points.
No rule makers care to do any ex
tensive changing with u populnr and
successful system. Tho new way of
kicking a goal nftcr touchdown, directly
In front of tho bars, leaves only a small
chance of missing, unless it he upon a
windy day. with a muddy field.
Last fall Center College had n goal
kicker who returned something like forty-five
out of forty-six chances.
The general average in front of the
posts should be nt least nineteen out
of twenty. Which means that nineteen
touchdowns out of twenty will be worth
seven points. It was, perhaps, just as
well to leave the situation this way for
the time being, as there are still n big
number who absorb something of a thrill

Ex-Bravo Pitcher Will Be Big
Help to Cravath Unsigned,
but Is Happy
IJIrmlntham, Ala., Match 18. Ccll
Algernon Caimey, the new pitcher of
the Phils, reported to Manager Oavvy
Cravath toddy.
Cecil Algernon has not yet ulgncd a
contract, but says the minor financial
difficulties will be straightened out, nnd
ho will scire nil he has for the success
of tho bair club.
Cauoey was with the Braves the latter
part of the 1010 wason, having been
sent there by the Giants in the trade
which transferred Arthur Nchf to New
York. Ho had n pretty fair .year, but
when it came time to sign the' 1020 pa
pers, Cecil Algernon had some original
idens regarding his salary, and made his
demands so strong that President Grant
is said to have become exasperated and
Immediately asked waivers on him. No
one wanted Algernon in the league ex
cept six clubs, the Fhilq being one of
them. In the draw. President Baker
.was lucky, and the locals obtained one
ot the most promising twiners in tuc
league. '
Cause v will be a big help to the pitch
ing staff. He will be one of the big
winners this year, and take his place
with Ioo Mcmlows and JCppa Rlxcy.
If George Smith and Ray Lingrel come
through, Cravath need have no worries.
"I am tickled to death to be with
the Phillies," said CaiiRey today. "I
was glad to learn I had been sold to the
club, because I know I will receive fair
treatment. Cravath is n line fellow, nnd
a great manager. It will be a pleasure
to work for him.
"While I have not yet signed for the
season, I nra confident eery thing will
be nil right. Mr. Baker sent me a
contract, and it showed me he was fair
nnd wanted to do the right thing. .lust
as soon as we can talk things over, I
shall sign."
"Tho Phillies havp not such n hml
ball club this year. The outfield, with
Casey Stengel, Cy Williams nndSTrish
Meusel. is strong, nnd the infield, with
Jack Miller on second, will be an im
provement over last year.
"If a third baseman can be devel
oped, we will have n godd team. I know
I will do my share and expect to have a
successful season."
Causey came from his home in Fort
Meade, Fla., where he has an orange
grove and a lumber mill. He looks to bp
in great shape.

HARVARD AGAINST SYSTEM
to
Opposes Experimenting With Defi
nite Number of Football Plays
Cambridge, Mass., March 18. The
Harvard football team will not partici
pate in nuy experimental trial of the
Coffin plan to limit the duration of ploy
ing periods by a definite number of plays
If Head Coach Robert T. Fisher can
prevent it. The coach declares that he
Is unalterably oppdsed to the plan nnd
will not favor its use by the Harvard
eleven ns an experiment even in an early
season game.
"The attempt of the rules committee
to make a touchdown worth more than
two field goals, by the elimination of
the punt-out, was an excellent move,"
said Coach Fisher, "but elimination of
the stop-watch from the game would bo
disastrous, and I oppose even its trial
by a Harvard team in competition."
