Flow 9 Became Best Man.


There is an old German refrain that
runs somewhat as follows:
1.-The paradise OF earth
Is found on horseback"
That morning II recurred 10 me, why ]
know not, for l had heard no German
for years. Anyway, as ] say, It recurred
10 me as l walked along In the spring
sunshine. clad In fautless riding attire,
toward well-known riding stable. where
] intended to procure mount for long
ride.
II was e.. quite early. and found
the groom lazlly pillowed against the
stable door. whistling softly to himself.
He glanced at my, high boots. which re-
fiected the morning sun. and smiled. while

does II make where one rides so long as

skirts OF the town where the sun was

sary by the experience OF last season,
and IL was determined by the rules COM
nlittee TO prevent chances OF having
recurrence of anything of this kind as
well as to put greater power into the
hands Of the umpire in such an exigency.
The rule has, therefore. been adopted
that only FIVE men shall be allowed to
walk ND and down Oh the side lines, and
that everybody else admitted to the en-
closure must be seated along the line OF
the enclosure. and finally. that any coach
ing detected by the umpire shall cost the
side which is coached a distance of ten
yards.
Another addition to Rule %, Section 3,
provides that the timekeeper, instead of
running about on the field of play behind
the teams shall confine himself to the
side lines and his more proper duties of
seeing that the measurements are fairly
made.
The two rules which most materially
affect the play itself are those in Rules
Il and 2S. In Rule n, Section (a). note
provides that a side may not retain pos
session of the bali by taking IL back 20
yards second time unless II has mean
time been in the possession of the oppo-
nents. This rule is made in order to pre-
vent the side taking advantage of this 20
yards retreat I'm order TO avoid an other
wise certain defeat or score. This feature
of the play has I'm the long period of
years during which this rule has obtain
ed. not been brought up because that
method OF using the play has seldom been
seen. The rules committee took this ac-
ton to insure against the abuse of the
privilege.
The other rule which will affect play
is that providing for loss of ten yards in
stead OF loss of the ball as a penalty for
the side having the ball I'm their possess
sion and infringing the rule OF offside
play. The former penalty OF loss of the
ball was so severe that IL did not seem
to fit the crime. What effect this new
rule will have 1t is impossible to say, for
IL may tend TO some infringement of the
rule that will prove serious, and may
thus force a return to the old method
AS IL stands now, IL makes the attacking
side and the defending side practically
equal in that an offside play by either
involves a loss of ten yards, whereas,
by the old rule the defending side could
get offside under a penalty of the loss
of ten yards, while the attacking side.
ife they infringed the rule, would lose
much more than this by being obliged to
surrender the ball.
