THINKS RULES ALL RIGHT
Julian Curtiss Believes no Change
in Laws Governing Football
Is Needed.

Walter Camp Of the football rules COM
mittee was in New York yesterday and
when asked concerning probable changes
in the playing rules of the game said that
If a majority of the players of the coun-
try favored changes they no doubt would
be made. One football authority who be-
lieves the rules are all right as they are
and should be left alone is Julian Curtiss,
who manages the Harvard-Yale and Yale
Princeton games.
"Those who are clamoring for more open
play says Mr.. Curtiss, Should bear in
mind that there are more injuries due to
plays made in the open than in close
and line plays. There is no time in a
game when the hearts Of the spectators
are more in their mouths for fear q man
will be hurt than when player has
caught a punt and starts to run it back
AS everybody who knows the game is
aware, there are more injuries in the
| open than when the men are punched in
Scrimnnages.
by systematic development and alter
ing of the rules the game has come to be
the greatest played by the colleges, and +
for one, would not like to see this gooC
| work undone and the game brought back
to a stage where it would be less inter
esting and scientific.
when 10000 persons go out to see the
game as it is now played and shout them
selves hoarse, it strikes me as pretty good
evidence that the present style OF play
| is what the spectators like to see. The,
say that nowadays the onlooker canno
| see the ball all Of the time. There Is one
| thing he can see, which Is better, and tina
is one line go forward and the other q
back, also the man with the ball go for
ward; and those are plays which hell
to make the game as now played so pop
| ular. =
Speaking of open play, I venture t.
say that If an association game wer'
played on one field and a game under tn
college rules were played next door, tn
latter would SO far outdraw the forme
that there would be no comparison. Thi
J tag, you're it. style of play would no
draw a corporaFs guard when there Wa
a game Of the other sort going on. I
seems to me that there is a good deal o
hysteria in this open play agitation AM
cry for the abolition Of back of the lin
| formations. -.
1T comes principally, I suppose, eithe
from those who don't like football an
never did, from those sources. wher
the teams have met with i'll success unde
the present style of play.
1.-THE game has been improving, not go
! ing backward, but that Is no reason VIII
the rules should be changed to suit thos
who have not kept pace with the develop
ment of the game

no expense will be spared to make the
boat as comfortable as possible.
The steamer will be equipped with CO.
horse power engines, and will be run by
one propeller. The contract speed Is fit

4. BIG ORANGE CROP.

Los Angeles; Cal, Jan. 6.--According to present
indications there will be considerably citrus
fruit shipped out of southern California this
year than last. The lemon crop is lighter, but
the shortage will be more than offset by the ad-
ditional output of oranges. The season has been
exceptionally favorable for good orange grow
ing and there have been serious frosts to
damage the crop. The picking is we'll under
way. Up to last week about 1 800 carloads of

six-round contest at Chicago last night.

had but a margin the better Of the fight
Ing. The first round was Galatians.
He used a straight left jab that Yanger
was unable to evade, and when the Chi
cago man took his corner his right eye
was closed. Yanger forced the fighting in
the next round and landed several hard
swings to Callahans stomach, but the lat
ter evened up matters by the excellent use
Of his left hand. The third and fourth

ing considerable punishment. During the

GATARRHg
"Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure
for Catarrh Ever Discovered"
Say Voegeli Bros.

Do not try to cure catarrh by talk
Ing drugs into the stomach; 1t can
not be cured in that manner. The only
way in which this too common dis
ease can be cured is thru a direct ap-
p1ication that will kill the bacilli of
catarrh and prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method
of treatment that accomplishes this.
It is the simplest, most pleasant. and
the only absolute cure for catarrh
that has ever been discovered.
Thousands Of unsolicited testimo-
malls have been received from the
most prominent men and women IN
the country who have been cured by
bankers, lawyers, even eminent physi-
clans have given strong testimonials
as to the remarkable powers of Hyo-
mel to cure catarrh. ~
The complete Hyornei outfit costs
but $500, consisting of an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will effect a. cure
in ordinary cases. but for chronic and
deep-seated cases of catarrh longer
use may be necessary, and then extra
bottles Of Hyomei can be obtained
for soc. 1t is not alone the best Git
might be called the only) method of
curing catarrh, but it is also the most
economical. ...
Voegeli Bros, corner Washington
and Hennepin avenues, have so much
confidence in the power of Hyomei to
cure catarrh, that they will for linn
tied time sell this medicine under
their personal guarantee to refund
the money if the purchasers can say
that it did not help them.
