the Constitution protested the Columbia
for bearing down on her while manoeuv-

The second protest. was made after the

REFORM IN FOOTBALL

Football players all over the country
will hail with delight the proposed
be framed for the government OF college
play next fall. The mass play has
reached its limit and is now on the
be never totally eliminated from the
American rugby game, and nobody wants
IL TO be.
everything on heavy mass play is to be
checked and an effort will be made TO
frame rules which develop more strate-
getic plays in the open.
Instead OF the great variety OF line
back plays which the game has seen de-
veloped in the last five years. especially
at Yale, Pennsylvania and Harvard, there
will now be demanded development OF
the backfieid plays, with the result that
open play and much running with the
ball will now be the chief characteristic
back. that player. IL he takes the bali.
Will, by the new rule. be forced TO make
his try for distance outside or just inside
the end positions. as he cannot. by the
new regulation. try for plunge through
any holes that may be made by the centre
guard or tackle men. There Is nothing
in the new rules. however, that will cut
out the possibility of an INFINITE variety
OF fake plays, in which the quarter
back and halfbacks can figure. and II is
in this feature that some interesting de-
velopments may be expected.
While changing the character of the
game OF football as IL has been played in
the last few years by the leading colleges
II is believed that the new rules will be
TO the great advantage of the specta tors
and that they will also operate to the ao-
vantage of the weaker teams from the
smaller colleges. who have not until now
had an equal chance with a strong team
from largo college under the heavy for
nation rules.
Under the new rules the team with the
fastest backfield supported by a good
line. Will have much more chance TO score
against heavier team than formerly
something that will be greeted by the
smaller colleges with qualification. In
one sense Yale and the other large coll
leges that have led the tendency toward
heavy formation tactics will lose by the
new rules. as much more stress will now
be laid on generalship in the running
game than in heavy battering play
In recent matches IL has been found to
be absolutely impossible for the umpire
10 note and punish all off-side PLAYS. and
a great many offences that have not es-
caped the attention of the spectators
have been passed over. In the future
the linesmen will look out for off side
play.
The new rules to be adopted will give
ample opportunity 10 make a suitable
comparison OF open and mass plays and
the best possible chance will be given the
public 10 judge between the two STYLES
OF play.

BROWN BASEBALL

Brown and the University of Pennsyl-
vania will not have a chance TO play their
rubber game this season. Rain post
poned 1T yesterday and IL cannot now be
played without breaking up Browns
schedule.f
Pennsy meets Harvard today and
Brown plays Amherst. Andover and Col
umbia on the FIRST three days OF next
week.
Catcher Clarke is out of the game for
the rest Of the season. His finger, which
was injured in the game against Pennsy
Wednesday. has swollen badly and DR..
Pegram has ordered Clarke out OF the
game until his finger is completely healed.
Abbott, the crack left fielder. will go
behind the bat for the few remaining
games and should make a good substitute
after little practice in the position. He
showed up strongly In Thursdays prac-
tice. His work Wednesday Is no indica-
tion OF what he can do, for he went into
the position with almost no catching
practice this season. Last year he caught
finely early in the year and was consid-
cred a good man In the position.
