Cann Advocates Giving Points to Elevens for Advancement, Although They Los Games. Frank H. Cann, director of athle- tics at New York University, has come forward with @ new idea for the footbull rule makers to consider at ieir mext meeting. Mr. Cann has decided that football as it is played is an unfain competitive sport, inas- much as it fails to determine in many cases the better of Lwo leams engaged in the strusgie on the gridiron. There is oo mucn of the element of luck connected with the pizskin game to wit Mr. Cann, and he thererore ad- Vocates a radical new system of scor- ing that he asserts would o far in determining the stronger of two bat- ting elevens. What Mr. Cann proposes is a zene system of scoring points, so that even if an cleven fails to cross an oppon- cnt's goal line, either by rushing or by % drop kick, it mighi stll score a number of points proportichate. to_its ability to advance the ball. The Scheéme suggested would allow points for bringing the ball within the 20- yard line, the 15- yard linc, and thus on to a touchdown. Another innovation that Mr. Cann suggests is the elimination of the method now used in the goal kicking after a touchdown. He would have the ball brought out to -the 3s-yard line, rather than the short -distance now in vogue, and_furthermore, he suggests the more important change of allowing drop kick instead of the now more or less uninteresting anmd loveniy kicking from placement. Mr. Cann asserts that too many games are lost by the superior teams, be- cause of the tendency to make a Gare- less kick after the main score has been achieved. Francis_P. Wall, coach of football af New York University this year, has carefully sone over Mr. Cann's proposals and believes that the scheme suggested would place foot- ball competition on a fairer basis and would arouse the teams to more effi- clent work at every counter, instead of allowing for peri- odical shows of strength when need- ing a touchdown or holding an op- ponent on the goal line. In comment- ing upon the proposed new eystem Mr. Wall ‘said:—"I believe thaf some- thing should be dome so that a team which has clearly outplayed its op- ponent Zame, but which throuzh ‘breaks’ has falled to scorp should receive some recognition more substantial than a newspaper decision When a team outplays another that fact should go on the records in numerical form.” “In my opinion” said. Mr. Cann, “a team getting within its opponent’s 20-yard line should be credited with one point; upon its getting with the i5-yard line it should secore two points; when within the 10-yard line, three points, and a touchdown, as now should count six points. In the kick for the goal the ball should be brought out to the 35-vard line, and there a free attempt should be ‘made at .the goal by means of a drop kick. In this there is no element of chance but real football. Too many good football games have been lost through the carelessness of the kicks after a touchdown has been made. This new way will tend, furthermore, to devel- op_good drop kickers. “The other part of the system,” he ccntinued, “that of scoring within a certain zone, could be worked out in this way. Whenever a team gets.the ball into its opponent's 20-yard line, that team scores, regardless of wheth- cr a kick brought the ball there or not, For instance, when the ball is_ Kicked and the- receiver is- downsd in the scoring -zone . the team which kicked scores. This puts a premium on seod kickers, there is compensation to the other team in that they opportunity to run the ball back in proportion to the length of - the kick before the ends can -came down the 53, Johns “Often one team is superior to the other, but the fimal siage of the em-} Electrical GIfts Are Useful Gifts FLAT IRONS, VACUUM CLEANERS, TOASTERS, - FLASH LIGHTS, AUTO HEATERS, READING LAMPS We Will Deliver Purchases December 24th The Norwich Electric Co. 42 FRANKLIN STREET of. the same calibre.

A more vital question than that of temperature with the winter birds in the north is that of food. Few who have made no study of birds under- stand how carious is their physiolog- ical _economy. When ail the ground and even the weed tops are smowed under, tion stares many birds in and then the most timid will venture into the sheds of farmhouses or into barns in ssarch of crumbs and sceds. Not a few become so weak and low in” vitality from lack of nourishment that they do freeze to death. But it is a solace to those who have naticed H in every department of thel birds, on bitter winter days, to know that few creatures are beiter organ- ized to brave the cold, if only iood cnough can be obtained. And enough for the average means not a little. A bird may be arraved beautifully than the lilies of the fields without toll or worry, but food 1s a ifferent and oftimes a most anxious matter. Most winged iife eats =normou: and all the waking hours are mea times. Someone has estimated that a | vobin could devour 300 earthworms be tween morning somg and roosting time, and that a pair of srosbeaks could easily swallow a quart of bugs of various kinds while summer day lizht lasts. However conjectural such estimates may be, anvone who has watched parent birds feed their nestlings will know that bird appetites are as inor- dinate as they are unsqueamish. He- tween the bird’s hunzer and_ that of the chicks, scarcely time is found to voice the nataral joy and pride of parents. y e When we consider the high heart pressure, the rapid circulation and respiration of birds and the warmth of feather coats, we know that, sufficient food being found to supplv wormth and reinforce vitality, birds need have litle fear of frosts, The scattered seeds from weeds.
