Interesting Incidents.

A transcontinental flyer on the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railway made stop not
on its schedule the other night for the
benefit of a squalling baby. The infant
and it's mother, young German woman,
were both in tears because its bottle OF
milk had curdled. Sympathetic passen-
gers urged the conductor to stop. the
train at Ottawa, in order that fresh
supply might be procured. He approved
the proposition, and the train was held
while the relief committee visited an
Ottawa hotel kitchen, where the nursing
hottie was scalded out and filled with
sweet milk. When the train resumed its
Journey everybody was feeling better.

Changes In Football Rules.

The following will be interesting to
football enthusiasts in this vicinity: The
new playing rules adopted this year by
the rules committee have already been
much discussed, but the general opinion
among football men is that they are
indeed worthy Of thorough trial. Their
tendency doubtless will be to make the
game more open, particularly when play
is confined to the 60-yard stretch in the
middle of the gridiron.
Briefly the new rules are outlined.
/. At least seven men must play on
the line of scrimmage when the ball is
put in play in the territory bounded by
the two 25.yard lines.
2. Between the two 25-yard lines the
man who first receives the ball from the
center rush or snap back may carry it
forward, provided he cross the line of
scrimmage at least FIVE yards to the
right or left from the spot where the ball
was put in play. :,
8. Hereafter player kicking the ball
cannot put his team "onside" by run
ming down the field and overtaking the
bali before it had touched an opponent.
4. After team has been scored
against it shall have the option of kick
ing off or of having its opponents kick
off.
S. Heavy leather headgear must be
discarded, and emphasis is placed on the
rules forbidding metallic substances to
be used in the reinforcement OF clothing
or shoes.
The aim of the first two rules is to
| open the play, eliminating to considera-
bic degree the mass plays toward which
the development of the game has tended
recently. These formations, with one or
4 two men pulled back from the line, will
be possible under the usual rules between
the 25.yard lines and the goal lines.
| The rule making it impossible for
kicker to put his team "onside" will free
the game from the roughness coming
from the necessity OF putting the kicker
to put his team 'onside" will free The
game from the roughness coming tron
the necessity Of putting the kick out 0
the play by charging and thro wing hin
down after he has made his kick; Will
the option of the kickoff given the team
scored against is thought to be OF bench
to teams weak on the defensive which
otherwise would not have an equa
opportunity for trying out their offence

Pure Athletics Wanted.

If football league is to be formed by
three of the foremost preparatory
schools of the state-Goddard seminary,
Montpelier seminary. and st. Johnsbury
academy-as reported, there is one re-
quirement which should be incorporated
in the agreement. That is that all pro-
fessionaIism be barred. 1t is the bane OF
school athletics that the spirit OF profess
sionalism creeps in, and the encroach-
ment, which already has been noted in
Vermont schools, should be guarded
against. The desire to turn out winning
teams leads the minimizing to go beyond
the limits of legitimate amateur sport,
and brings upon the schools a certain re-
proach from those who are interested in
true sport. 1t is fine thing for school
to be represented by team of athletes
which whips its opponents, but when
such results are gained by means OF hir-
ing players to be members of the team
the practice should be stopped. 1t is
preferable for school to be represented
by weaker team, all of whose members
are bona fide students, than to have lot
| of hired players who may possibly pur-
sue course or two of study, to remove
the curse of the thing.
Although no definite charges have been
made against the teams OF various
schools in Vermont it is well known that
certain rumors have been current that
teams were not composed OF really bona
fde students. No evidence has been
brought out to substantiate these rumors
but it is probable there is something OF
truth in them. Now there is no one
school that should be singled out as par
ticuIarly culpable in this respect. I'm
doubtedly nearly all the schools which
lay any claim to superiority in athletics
have at one time or another been guilty
of breach of the rules of amateur stand.
ing. And instead of growing less no
ticeable the spirit still continues. This
should be eliminated and athletics II
Vermont schools should be placed ane

Times suggests that in case league il
formed amoug the three schools men
toned that strict adherence to thu
rules of amateur standing be required
and that at least no player, representing
any school, should be allowed to pla,
on team who receives remuneration to-
his services. There will be more interes

Yesterday in the floral tea room Mrs.
G. r. Croft, the newly elected president
of the auxiliary, announced that the
auxiliary was ready to open the school
of domestic science. Miss Stringham.
who is to take charge Of the school, ex-
planned for the benefit Of the auxiliary
of what the work of the school would
consist.
The first course, she explained,
would include twelve lessons in plain
cooking and would cost each student SO.
The second course would instruct, to
the extent of twelve lessons, in the
more elaborate cooking, and will cost
80. The third course would teach gen.
eral homework to the maid who must
do all the work of a house; the fourth,
invalid cookery; the fifth, the duties Of
a waitress; and, if desired, there would
be an additional course that would
teach first aid to the injured, including
the preparing and putting on OF band
ages, the resuscitation of the drowned,
etc. Each of these courses will cost So
for twelve lessons
Miss Stringham also showed the uni
form that each girl who desired to take
course at the school would be ex-
pected to wear. In addition to this
course in domestic science, Mrs. Mar
garet j. Blair, of the state agricultural
school, will give a course in sewing.
All the lessons will be given in the
floral tea room, which is on the second
floor of the Commercial building. The
members of the auxiliary are anxious
to get the classes formed as quickly as
possible and request that each woman
who desires to take the course shall
notify Mrs. G. r. Croft, 225 Arundel
street, or leave their names at the floral
tea room. The school will not open un-
til sufficiently large class has been
formed, so the members Of the auxil-
larry wish to have the names Of appli-
cants as soon as possible.
