MAY CHANGE RULES
Committee Considering New Pro-
vision That May ReVoIu-
tionize Football.
TO PASS PIGsKIN BUT ONCE
Object is TO Do Away With Evil of
Mass Plays Now Gener-
ally Used.

College football bids fair to be rev.
olutionized next fall if the intercol-
legiate football rules committee car
ries into effect a regulation which is
now under consideration. This rule
provides that the ball has to pass
through the hands of only two men
before being regarded as in play. At
present it is necessary for it to go
through the hands of three men.
The proposed change signifies that
the whole game as now played may
be materially altered. Under the pres
ent conditions the center must pass
the ball to the quarter back. and
from the latter it must go to the
third j.. man before it can be rushed
through the line for a scrimmage. 1t
is impossible for the quarterback to
run with the ball unless it has first
been touched by third man.
Anyone May Carry
By the proposed rule the center can
snap the ball to any man on the team,
who may then rush with it, 1t will be
possible, therefore. for the quarter
back to carry the ball-an important
innovation-and because of the fact
that any man may take the pigskin
without the quarterback's previous
assistance, all sorts of puzzling COM
binations will be feasible.
With this regulation in effect the
present evils of mass play, which have
aroused such opposition, would, it is
believed, largely be done away with
and more open and less dangerous
style of play come into use.

To CALL
A SPECIAL
ELECTION
For lSsuanCeOf 100000
Bonds for School
Purposes.
NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS

Within a few days the board of
education will meet and call special
election to vote on the issuance Of
from $250.000 to 100000 Of bonds for
the purpose Of erecting new school
buildings and building additions to
the buildings that are already up.
If the registration prior to the re-
cent city election Is sufficient. the call
for the special election will be adver-
tised for 10 days prior to the holding
Of the election. If the law requires
new registration, the time of the cleo
ton will be postponed nearly month.
1t is estimated that the improve
ments to be made will require nearly
one year. The most important item
is the building of new high school
building on College avenue and Madi
son street or the enlargement of the
present high school building and the
erection of new ward school build
ing on the South Side.
Other improvements to be made are
the adding of from four to six new
rooms to each of the ward school
buildings: The Garfield, Webster
Franklin, Mckinley and Bancroft
schools.
Some of these buildings already
have accommodation for as many as
75O students who are attending dur
ing the present term. The additions
will give them capacity for from 500
to 100 pupils.
The heavy increase in school popu-
1ation during the past II months has
made it imperative that the additional
accommodations be provided.

haps not in the state. 1t will place
upon the tax duplicate thousands of
dollars, for there are about 100 lodges
in the city and each possesses much
lodge property and most have money
in the treasury.
One of the Masonic lodges is said
to have over s200o in the treasury and
the others smaller amounts. 1t hits
the Odd Fellows and knights of
fythias also quite hard.
Prominent secret society men were
on q still hunt today to discover from
whe'ice came the influence that put

Roth Is Bound

Albert John Roth is bound to have
as much of $15,1S47O as he can, even
AZ it takes long time. That is the
amount of verdict and costs award

damages from the old Union Depot
company. The case went to the SUI

tanned.
Roth lost leg by being run over
by car in the yards of the defend

death?"
Another question was asked which
excited some comment and aroused
speculation in the minds of those in
the courtroom. Mr.. Kimball pointed
out to the first talesman a white
whiskered man sitting ON the front
row of seats in the spectators di-
vision, whom he said was John Ladd.
He was asked If he had had any con-
versation with Ladd since having
been summoned as a Juror, or If he
had talked with him this morning.
The same series of questions con-
corning conversation with Ladd was
given each talesman. but after the
first questions Ladd was not to be
seen on his seat.
MIR. Kimball was also interested to
know the domestic position of each
talesman, whether married or single,
father or the head of a family.
Some of the talesmen examined early
in the day had opinions and were ex-
cused by the court for obvious rea-
sons.
