NEW FOOTBALL RULES.
What They Have Accomplished in
the Game So Far.

The new rules have had fair test now.
and, " hile TO the average laymau at
match there seems TO be Uul lltue change
III the manner of playing the game, to the
football expert there is a decided change.
The most important and about the only
radical changes made in the rules We're
those dealing With momentum or mass
plays and the fair catch"
In order to make the tair catch the man
" ho lakes the ball must now put his heel
in the ground Where he catches il. This
rule is practically the same rs that in
force three years ago, but with heavier
penalty Tor its violation. The change
here, therefore, is simply a return to Old
methods, the new play having been tail-
ure.
The restriction in regard to mass plays
is accomplished i'll two ways-first by the
rule that no player shall take more than
a single step, except one man no may be
in motion before the ball is put i'll play,
and secondly by the rule that five men
must be in the rush line at all times " hen
their side has possession of the ball.
The changes have certainly accomplished
that Which they were made for. and the
game III consequence is more open. II
would be sttll more so il the colleges had
The punters OF last year. but they are all
ldmentably weak III this respect. Baird
OF Princeton being about the only back
10 come anywhere near the requirements,
and he is by no means of high class.
BuCk,ng the center is not done as often
as IL other years, because the interference
cannot get INTO shape to aid as when the
mass was placed behind the line to
help tie haif-hack, and the man WHO is
sent there has 10 depend upon the two or
three who are on the line at the point
where he tres to get through, which
is not enough. Tie result has been thus
far that the runners have tried the ends.
where there is more opportunity for the
interference to form To help them.
IN addition to the rules mentioned the
penalty of five yards for interferin. with
The center when he is about TO snap the
ball back and the penalty of fifteen yards
for plipg upon player when he has called
down have helped TO eliminate many of
the causes of accidents to pla yers and thus
far tnis year the players have managed to
get through games with slight injuries
1t is not To lie expected that the immunity
from accidents Will continue when the big
colleges meet each other, but it is fair to
suppose from the workings of the new rules
thus far that the chances of accidents are
much smaller and the game has been greatly
benefited by II. The prevention of mass
plays Is certain, and this was what reliey ed
Deland of Harvard from much of his work
which was always In the form of plays of
that character and always Objectionable

FUN FOR THE SPORTS.
Two Bloody Dog Fights Pulled Off
Near the CITY

NtdF tue S1tN.
About hundred and fifty local sports
gathered last night at the Well known road
house, several miles from town, to witness
Two fights between "blue blood" pups.
There has been considerable controversy
rs TO the merits OF the respective dogs,
ana TO settle the inCoted question: he owners
arranged the matches which came off last
evening.
The first match was between Tramp
ana y ounE Grffo. The later was a
handsome brIndIe and white animal with
clean cut limbs, and abundant vitality
Tramp. on the other hand. was rather
NANCY looking animal, but it was said
that his fighting abilities were all right
AT the call OF time the attendants re-
leased them and they met each other onthe
bound. "Griffo' proved himself a good
wrestler, and from the start Tramp" was
outclassed. He seemed weak after q few
minutes fighting and Griffo had no trouble
in gaining the throat held after each break.
This match proved only a curtair-raiser.
The next one was between Plot, a hand
some bulldog with a pure white coat which
was much heavier than Jerry. his anita 20
mist, so the conditions were that Pilot was
TO stop Jerry inside of thirty minutes. But
lie failed sisnally. Jerry was spelling for
the fray and could hardly be held in leash.
The setto was savage one, and for twenty
minutes neither dog seemed to have any
advantage. When the thirty minutes had
nearly expired jerry suddenly turned on
his heavy foe like a steam engine let loose.
lie caught good neck hold and as the
thirty minutes expired, the spectators
swarmed into the pit TO show their ap-
preciation of Jerry's game fight. But the
battle was not over. Jerry broke loose
from his attendant, and there Was wild
scramble to get out of the pit. Straight at
his foe the maddened bulldog flew getting
strong neck hold. Then came fearful
illustration Of the tear bulldog tenacity"
1t was fully ten minutes before that wise
like hold Gould be loosencd, and by dcs-
perate efforts the dogs were finally har-
messed and carried from the pit. Jerry
was the hero, and the sports dispersed,
feeling well repaid for their dollar entrance
fee. Considerable money changed hands
on the results of the fights.
