It is a feature that in variably appeals to McGraw, who wants speed, speed, speed, and then more speed. The youngster has a splendid throwing arm, covers no end of ground and can throw from any po sition that he gets the ball. He does not have to straighten up to shoot the ball across the diamond and gets it away wonderfully quick. He was playing splendid games at the time he was called home, and. without doubt, would have "made” the team and played in the last world’s series had it not been for his affliction. Shafer was used quite often by McGraw the last season as a pinch hitter when the manager wanted a good waiter at bat. And the young ster surely is that, and won many a game by getting the opposing pitcher “in the hole.” His fellow players on the Giants consider that Shafer has as good an eye. if not better, than any player in the busi ness. “He can size, up a ball to within a half inch of the plate,” is what McGraw said of his “find” last year. Recommended by Snodgrass. Shafer joined the Giants in 1909, having been strongly recommended to McGraw by Fred Snodgrass, who had seen him play in college games CARLISLE SCORES MOST POINTS. TIGERS SECOND With the football »s*son in the East drawing near to the end. the Carlisle eleven has such a lead in the race for high score honors that it will never be caught. Princeton is a safe second. Every team in the East has been scored on. Penn State has the distinc tions of having been scored on the least, of not having been defeated this season and of not having met defeat in four years. The other teams unbeaten this year are Yale and Harvard. HARVARD WILL DEPEND ON BRICKLEY’S KICKING CAMBRIDGE, MASS.. Nov. 18.—The Harvard squad was in good shape today, despite its bard battle Saturday. Light practice was the coaches' orders for to day. The coaches plan to let Brlckley devote the major portion of his practice time during the week to drop kicking, as they feel that goals from the field may decide the result of the game with Y'ale Saturday, and they want to have the Harvard hooter in the finest condi tion possible.

The young ster was phenomenally fast when he reported in Marlin, Texas, but he could not be made to look upon baseball as a setious proposition. He was just a "kid” in 1909, and he had not gotten over his youthful frivolities in 1910. But he gave such splendid promise that Mc- Graw held on to him, knowing that lie would settle down in the end. Fred Tenney, who was a Giant when Shafer first joined the team, was a great admirer of the “native son.” and fully appreciated what was in the boy, and when lie be. came manager of the Boston Na tionals he made a deal with Mc- Graw for Shafer in exchange for Shean. Shafer got wind of the trade, and while he didn't refuse to join the Bostons, he spoiled the deal by accepting an offer to coach a Japanese college team of baseball players. He made a big success of it, and, notwithstanding his youth, he was complimented by being called "the father of baseball in Japan.” Rejoined Them Last Spring. He returned from Japan early in 1911, but refused to report to the Giants, still fearing he would be rent to Boston. He straightened out matters with the New Y’ork club, however, so that he reported to McGraw in Marlin, Texas, last spring.

This time it is the report of Bob Echols, 14-year-old boy, expelling a monster tapeworm and being brought back to a good, healthy condition after the suffering the child had gone through for the past three years. His stomach would bloat, fluttering of the heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, pain in back of head, sometimes in low er bowels, nasty, slimy taste in mouth, especially in the morning; always eat ing enough for a man, but his food never seemed to do hint any good. He continued to grow weaker, day by day; had no ambition to play like other boys of his age; the parents were very much alarmed about his condition. He had had several attacks of fevers, also bil ious spells, but with all the treatments he continued to grow worse. The grandmother had been reading and hearing about the Quaker Remedies on sale at Coursey A Munn’s drug store, and the great number of people and children who had been cured, some of Forward Pass Has Revolutionized Games, But Needs Further Development EXPERTS CLAIM NEW FOOTBALL RULES EXCELLENT By W. J. Mcßeth. A GAME that is a game—-that is the general verdict on foot ball as placed under the 1912 rules. The gridiron sport pleases first of all tile spectators; it pleases the coaches, the players and the great student body. It took a great deal of tinkering and experiment to resurrect the blood tingling autumn pastime from the debris of popular disfavor following the crusade which wrecked the good, old-fashioned game of six years ago. The new game seems to have been well worth the wait and the trouble. The old game came into disfa vor because of the dangers incident to It. And these same dangers had a discouraging Influence on the el ement most directly concerned—the student body. Form getting right down to cases, it was a test of muscle and brawn, and not a com petition of skill. It was smash, smash, smash through the line all the time, with now and then an end run or a variation worked in just to keep the opposition on the anxious seat. Naturally, a human battering ram would pick out the weakest spot in the line on which to center an attack, and woe betide the object of the charge. Speed, under the old rules, was a natural advantage, but not neces sarily a vital issue. Brute strength came first, last and aJI .the .time. The primitive qualification of class was stamina to stand up under punishment; power to grind through a wall of human resist ance. Under such conditions the game naturally devolved into a sur vival of the fittest. None . but a giant might play with any amount of safely. Weaklings had no place on the gridiron. Speed and cun ning combined counted for but lit tle unless supplemented by’ excep tional physical power. Bad Features Eliminated. The game as played now seems to have eliminated all the objec tionable features of the old style of play, and at the same time retained all the more desirable fundamen tals. It is quite true that foot ball was never meant for invalids. It is >a game that requires certain physical perfections. But no long, er is bulk and beef the first requi site. Speed counts as much as brawn and the agile, light fellow, if perfectly sound, has a better chance to shine than the big, slow thinking giant. Modern football is more than ever a game of skill. The forward pass was mapped originally to open out the game long standing cases of rheumatism, ca tarrh. kidney, liver, stomach or bladder trouble, and hundreds of children that have expelled worms, and all from the use <>f the wonderful Quaker Extract and Oil of Balm. She decided to call and procure a treatment of Quaker Ex tract and commenced giving it to the boy, and, to the joy of all. after five days the child is well and hearty, and Quaker did It. Now Mr. Bob Echols, as he is known by his friends, is a well known engineer of this city, and many of his friends will be pleased to learn the good news. If any person doubts the genuineness of this case, investigate and find if the Health Teacher has told the truth, as he insists on the severest Investigation, not-only this case but any name or ad dress he gives you in the dally papers. So call today at Coursey ,<• Munn's Drug Store, 29 Marietta St., and obtain these wonderful Quaker Extracts. 3 for 12.50, ro 0 for $5.00; Oil of Balm, 25c. or 5 for 11.00.

Y’et the forward pass at first was looked upon with great disfavor by the coaches. There were too many re strictions attached, and penalties for its failure to be properly com pleted made it a rather question able weapon. This year these re strictions have been eliminated and the play has immediately come into great favor. It is very sjiectacular and appeals to the general public.

Undoubtedly the forward pass lias revolutionized football, but it has not yet been developed to its greatest worth. The further it is perfected the greater will be the possibilities of unexpected scoring, which adds the spice of uncertainty and makes competition all that is to be desired. Wonderful Indeed has been tire progress under the new rules so far this season. It looks as if the present code is here to stay. 7
