GIDEON HAWLEY SAID TO
BE OLDEST ENGINEER

Another claimant for the honor OF
being the Oldest locomotive engineer
in actual service in the United States
has appeared. His name is Gideon
Hawley and he runs an accommoda-
ton train on the Lake Shore road
Considerable interest attaches to the
discovery of Mr.. Hawley. as an en-
gineer residing in Paterson, N. j.,
has claimed the distinction of being
the Oldest locomotive driver in the
country. The eastern engineer has
been so heralded and he will go to
Buffalo Saturday. his presence to be
one of the features of railroad day at
the Pan-American exposition.
Gideon Hawley is "A years old and
has been at the throttle 53 years He
began railroad work as fireman fer
the Michigan Central IN 1917 when
one of his duties was to stand at the
front of the cabless locomotive TO
sprinkle sand on the tracks from a
wooden pail provided for the pun =
pose. After four years OF service Mr..
Hawley secured a position on the Mad
River and Lake Erie railroad for a
short time. lie ran his train through
a wilderness that was sparsely Sc =
tied. Later he got a job as engineer
with the Lake Shore road.
The Lake Shore railroad, in addi
tion to employing the oldest engineer
actively engaged. has the distinction
of having the Oldest conductor on its
pay rolls. He is Edward Page, of
Cleveland o. who has charge of the
fast mail trains. He was conductor
of the train that carried President
Lincoln to his Inauguration and also
of the train that carried the presi-
dents body home from Washington.
q Jorge Martin, who died recently in
Cleveland, was the engineer on both
these occasions.
Supt. Zeisel, of the Lake Shore
company in Chicago, is of the opin-
ion that Mr.. Hawley is certainly the
oldest engineer in America, and says
there is no doubt whatever about the
accuracy of the record.

FEW CHANGES MADE
IN FOOTBALL RULES

The changes in the football rules
for the coming season, which were
made by the rules committee of the
National Football association, have
been announced in detail.
The most important change is in
the definition of a safety (rule 4, sec
tion y. In addition to the previous
definition it is provided that safety
is made when the ball, kicked by a
man behind his goal line, crosses the
extension of the side line behind the
goal line"
The next most important alteration
is in rule 10. which formerly deiiued
s.ahesd of ball" as between the OF
ponent's goal and a line parallel to
the goal line and passing through the
center of the BALL. As q mat,er of
fact, this was inconsistent with some
of the other rules, where the forward
point of the ball is taken at the line.
The rule was therefore altered so that
it reads passing through the point of
the ball nearest the goal line of the
side not in possession of the ball -
Rule II, regarding Interference,
has been amended TO DO away with
the pulling and hauling of opponents
in the rush line before the ball has
been put in play, and a number of
minor changes to add clearness and
to supply accidental omissions have
been made.
The committee is composed of Pau
j. DashielI, of the United States naval
academy; Alexander Moffett, of
Princeton; John Bell of toe Univer
sity of Pennsylvania; l.. NJ Dennis
of Cornell University, and Walter
Camp, of Yale
