FOOT BILL.

The revised Western foot bail rules
over which Professors A. A. Stagg, OF
Chicago University, and A. p. Everett
of the University Of Illinois, have been
porting for more than Il month, were
sent out after a final conference yester.
day. The rules must be now submitted
to the seven universities which united in
appointing the committee, and a hard
fight is likely before their adoption. Al
teratiOns in the rules are less sweeping
than many anticipated. The vital change
is that radically altering the present sys-
TEN of scoring. The goal, after a touch
down, is slated to count for only one
additional point, the drop kick for four,
the place kick for three and the safety
for two. There is no requirement for
seven men in the line, but it is provided
that if two linesmen are drawn back OF
the line they shall be outside cf the line
of scrimmage. Another safeguard against
roughness is that imposing a distance
penalty for laying hands on opponents
before the ball is put into play. An i'm
portant alteration also is that permitting
to the side scored on the choice OF kick
off. Other changes suggested are in de-
timing the safety, allowing fifteen yards
instead of ten on the kick out after a
kick for goal on the first down, permit
ting only two minutes Of time taken out
for injuries and modifying the penalty
of impositiOns when the ball is close to
the goal line The committee reserves
several suggestions on duty of officials,
which will be submitted if the commit
tee is continued.

representing Columbia, Harvard. Yale
and Princeton in the intercollegiate
championships to be held at the Ardsley

CYCLING.

y prominent firm which has two '9'
models, the chainless and the chair
wheel, have placed the latter on tn,
market for $75. This wheel has Away
been regarded as one of the highest
class machines made, but in view Of tn,
big splurge made on the chainless thu
manufacturers found it necessary to dro1
the price from 500 to $75. The SAINT
firm has two other models on the market
one Of which can be bought for $50 anC
the other for $40. Although the chaines.
is spoken of as the standard of the firm
the manufacturers, in also placing {
chain wheel on the market, have made
many improvements, which years o.
experience have taught them. While il
is generally believed that the chain
wheel will lose none of its popularity
next season, this firm asserts chainless
sales are much bigger than the chain
articles.
The big bicycle firms have found that
the brake is necessity, and, as a con.
sequence, many chain wheels will be
fitted with them if purchasers desire it.
One of the brakes that will be found as
regular equipment or option on the '9s
models consists of spring expansion
ring on the rear sprocket working with
in a friction drum. The breaking OF the
wheel is brought about by retarding the
rear sprocket by back pedalling, which
opens out the spring and brings it in
contact with the drum. The instant
back pedaling ceases the spring con-
tracts and the wheel is released. The
first impulse of rider to check the
speed is to back pedal. The effective
ness of it is greatly multiplied by the
brake, which is guaranteed to add moth
ing in weight nor to detract from the
neat appearance of the wheel.
1t is noticed that the percentage of
punctures in women's wheels is much
smaller than those of men. There is
only one reason for this and that is be-
cause women usually ride slower, are
timid and consequently more careful
than male riders.

Middle distance racing is Just being
