SOME CHANGES IN FOOT BALL
Hard Leather Helmets VIII BE
Barred From Games by Conn
mon Consent.


At meeting Of the intercollegiate Foot
Ball Rules committee in Atlantic City last
week the hard weather headpiece that has
gladdened the hearts OF the grldiron heroes
for the last two years, received its death
warrant. No rule was made against it's use.
but the very fact that its use was con-
demned by the athletic representatives OF
seven schools foremost in the game Of foot
ball means that It must go sooner or
later. And II should GO, for its use is
detriment to the game as 1t tends to add
to the list of injured that must come with
the game. 1t is hard as steel and a man
can deliver a blow with his head, when he
lie wearing one that will put his opponent
out of the game, and suffer little injury
himself.
The only change in the rules. which was
effected was with regard to the kick of
after a touch down. Under the old rules
the side that was scored against was forced
to change sides and kick of to its victor
ious opponents. The new rule still provides
for changing sides but It gives the choice
OF kicking off or not to the side scored
against. This Is an essentially good rule,
as light fast playing team has often lost
a game because it had to kick of continu-
ally to its slower and heavier opponents,
who could not be stopped after they once
had the ball in their possession.
In the making OF the schedules for the
next falls foot ball teams several new
features have been introduced by certain
of the colleges OF the big nine. The Uni
versity of Chicago, which was the first
western team to defeat one Of the big five,
has arranged for a game with the West
Point cadets at West Point. This is the
first time. that West Point has ever played
other than an eastern team AS West
Point is peculiarly situated and cannot play
any games but the Annapolis game away
from home, 1t has been considered until
recently only practice game, and colleges
have played them for that reason. Then
the soldiers humbled a few OF them and
they sought for revenge and the game be-
came feature Of the schedule OF Harvard
and Yale. Now Chicago comes forward
to play the cadets and shows a sportsman
like spirit that is pleasant to witness. The
game cannot mean as much financially to
Chicago as some lesser team might, but
from the very desire to add laurels to her
glory Chicago has sacrificed financial gain.
When college sports are brought back
closer to the basis Of real contests and less
thought is given to a surplus in the treas
ury then the real end of all real college
sport is attained.

The bright, warm days that have come so
quietly from time to time the last few
weeks have drawn out a number OF the
golhng contingent and sometimes there
have been twenty and thirty OF an after
noon at either Of the clubs Few Of the
women have braved the spring winds and
risked their compilations, though. even for
the joys OF the first trip around the links
But such old standbys as Gilbert Hitch
cock, Dick Kimball and Fitzpatrick have
gone cheerfully over the links daily since
the first spring buds began to swell and
have felt many a cold rain and chilling
wind In their desire to retain their pro-
hciency and win new glory on the links.
Instructor Barseh came in last week and is
preparing for the goling season for the old
timers who desire TO continue in the game
and for the new ones, who know they can
play 1t because is is so easy. They have
watched Il often and nothing could be
simpler than such a game. Il Is these that
he Is preparing for. There are going TO be

Omaha daily bee., 1903-04-05

What Is probably the most cheering sign
Of the whole is the confident manner OF
the managers in talking OF the outlook.
year ago none Of them knew just where
he was at; IL wasn't a cinch that at least
two of the towns wouldn't start. Now
they are all up on their toes, each one in
command Of the pennant winners, and
each as eager to begin as any Of the fans
are to have them. Des Moines, Milwau-
kee, Peoria and Kansas City, all weak sis
ters year ago. are out with the best OF
them this year Undertaken Joe Quinn
has a corklng good team and says he is
going to finish in the first division; Hugh
Dune has nearly all Of his last years
team back, and everyone knows that that
bunch could play ball big Bill Wilson has
gathered together the loveliest lot of tanks
ever seen in one field. hut every man of
the lot is ball player, and II he can keep
the bunch sober long enough he will make
the leaders hustle all the time. Charlie
Nichols will have strong team
and one that he can control, so that
Kansas City will be even more Of
factor than last year. despite the fact that
the pennant flies down at the mouth of the
Kaw. St. Joseph will be more changed
than any OF the others, and consequently
presents something of puzzle. The Saints
were always a scrappy lot, and may be de-
pended upon to make their opponents work
for any wins Bill Everitt is at the head
of very much the same outfit he led last
season, and 1t must be admitted that Il
was a good one. Tommy Delehanty will
manage and captain Denver's team, and
will show very few new faces. He has the
strongest batting team in the league, and
claims as much for its fielding ability, but
he'll have to show the rest of us. One
thing is certain, in Dundon he has a man
who knows as much about third base play
as any one ever learned, and who isn't
afraid to show It in a game. II Delehanty
can induce Dundon to play ball with his
hands and head and not with his mouth
and feet, the game will be much the gamer.
Anyway you look at it. the promise for
the season is enticing. and the trouble
can't start too soon. All the magnstes feel
much the same as the supporters and II

The Field club has been considering the
matter o, adding TO its present clubhouse
and had authorized the building committee
to make extensive changes and additions.
but week ago It retrenched and left the
committee, which had net taken any steps
toward the work up to that time in a posi-
tion to do but little toward the original
improvements. So It is hardly probable
that many marked improvements will be
made on the clubhouse for the season. but
the money that was to have been expended
in that way is now TO be put into improve
ments on the tennis courts and on the relo-
cation Of the base ball diamond and its at
tendant grandstand. The nine-hole course
on the links is to be piped and the work is
practically completed already.

Every sign points to a prosperous sea-
son, not only in the Western league, but
all over the country Here in the west
the prospects are particularly bright. Last
season was an uncommonly good one, but
had serious drawback in the lack OF
control the managers held over the play
ers This was due TO the war between
the Sexton and Hickey leagues and the
consequent generalization OF discipline.
1t was out Of the question for a manager
to be strict with an unruly player. who
could leave one association tonight and be
signed with the other tomorrow. This
condition does not exist now, and the
players know II, SO It is quite likely they
will be more amenable to club discipline.
IN many ways this will benefit the game.
At will make the players work harder, for
a man will only hold his Job through
