make it a general rule that seven
men must always be in the line and
that the first man receiving the ball
may run with it.
10 Discourage Line Bucking.
Another change talked of is that the
first man taking the ball may no long
er be compelled to go five yards out
side of center. The principal objec-
ton to this rule is that, though it
would simplify the code, it would en-
courage line bucking, since the run
ner would not have to wait for the
quarter to pass the ball. but might get
away directly.
The value of the field goal is COM
ing in for a great deal of discussion
and many coaches ask that the value
be reduced to three points from five,
claiming that the play is an individual
one, and that the efforts of one man
should not count for as much as the
efforts of whole team in making
touchdown.
1t is not likely, however, that the
value will be changed, for the policy
of the Rules Committee is to open up
the game, which would be the better
if it were almost impossible to score
by any other method than goal kick
ing. To reduce the value of this play
would be to reduce the status of one
OF the cleverest plays on the field.
Open Play just as Dangerous.
1t is curious fact, but the opening
up OF the play has not reduced the
number of injuries in the least, and
the trainers all over the country are
anxious to have the old rules back
again. Most of the injuries in foot
ball are not sustained in the mix-up.
as is believed, but are the result of
hard tackles in the open, where two
or three men get at the runner at the
same time. This year there has been
more open tackling than ever before,
and for that reason there have been
more injuries, especially to the knees.
Scarcely a back playing upon any of
the big teams came through the sea-
son without a wrenched knee, and
at the University of PENNSYLVANIA
three of the backs had water on the
knee during the season, while the rec
ords at other colleges are similar
Nevertheless, the sentiment is for
the more open game, as demanding
more Skill and taking away the pre-
MUM upon sheer beef that has so long
ruled, and the changes of the commit
tee will be along that line.

CORN CAKES AND GEORGIA SYRUP
At the Worlds Fair Georgia Will AttractiveIy
Exploit Her Resources.

st. Louis, Dec 13.-Corn "pone" and
fluffy hot corn cakes, made by a typi-
cal Southern colonial nanny" and
served with fresh country butter and
pure sugar house syrup all Free will
be one of the attractions that will draw
visitors to the Georgia exhibit in the
Palace of Agriculture at the Worlds
Fair.
In an agricultural way, corn and
sugar cane are two of the big products
of the great Southern state, and the
Georgia commission has determined to
delicious these foods are when served
in the ideal way.
In the center of her agricultural ex-
hibit, surrounded by cotton and corn
and sugar cane, an ideal plantation log
cabin will be built. 1t will be presided
over by an old negress who knows all
about the art of producing corn pone
and corn cakes, such as are made in
no other part of the world. Every
visitor to the Georgia section will be
invited to sit down and test the pro-
verbal Southern hospitality and the
cooking ability of a genuine Georgia
colored "auntie."
Georgia's display of cotton will not
appeal so strongly to the appetite, but
it will be artistic, showing a neat pa
vilion made of cotton and a miniature
cotton field, with miniature bales and

In the mining department Georgia
will make a display that will portray
that states greatness in the produc-
ton of minerals. The central figure
will be a statue of Vulcan, fifty feet
high, made of iron, standing on a ped
estal of coal and coke. Georgia mar
BILE is famed all over the world for its
beauty. Great shafts of the natural
stone, magnificent monuments and pol
ished colmns and obelisks will be shown
in stately array.
Georgia's pineries will be drawn upon
to furnish another exhibit of peculiar
interest in the Palace of Forestry, Fish
and Game. The pine wood will be
shown undressed and polished The
process of extracting turpentine, pitch
and rosin, and all of the by-products,
will be shown in detail.
Georgia's pavilion on the Plateau Of
States will be one of the striking fea-
lures in that wonderful array of archi-
tectural creations. A building and
maintenance fund of 5000 has been
created. On an advantageous site at
the intersection of two main boule-

MAY CHANGE RULES
MUCH DISSATISFACTION EXISTS AT
PRESENT FOOTBALL REGULATIONS.
OPEN PLAY MORE DANGEROUS.
TALKING IN THE OPENING NORE
LIABLE TO INJURE.

The National Rules Committee WIFE
Meet This Month and Console
Notifications of the Present Rules
Open Game Demands More Skin
and Faster Men, but 1t Also De-
mands Hard and Fierce TackIing-
Open Formation Is Popular if the
Heavy TnckIing Methods By Two
Men mt the Same Time Can BE
Modified.
With the close of the football sea-
son there is again a clamor among the
followers of the game for a change in
the rules, which will make the play
more open from the standpoint of the
spectator and not so rough on the
players. The Rules Committee will
meet this month"; and they will con-
slider some modification of the existing
code.
Last year the committee, in order to
open up the game, made changes that
compelled seven men to be in the
rush line between the 25-yard lines, al
lowed the first man who received the
ball to run with it, provided that he
went five yards outside of center, and
forbade the use of hard head harness
or hard pads of any kind.
These changes We're made in order
to give a chance for more end running
and less line plunging, since the
smashing tandem plays that broke up
so many men were not possible if sew
en- men had to be kept in the line.
Much Kicking.
The notifications have, in a meas
ure, resulted as the committee expect
ed, and there has been more kicking
this year than ever before, while some
of the teams, notably the Indians, have
made use of the privilege of the quar-
er-back running with the ball and exc
cuted a number of pretty tricks. Among
the teams generally, however the play
has not opened up as much as de-
sired, and plunges on tackles have
taken the place of the old center bucks,
while another line breaking tandem was
devised, with one tackle and two backs
in the formation.
With another year it is believed by
the committee that the coaches will
have more fully realized the possibili-
ties of the new rules, which were draft
ed here this year as an experiment,
and for that reason the old rules We're
unchanged within the twenty-five yard
lines, and, therefore, the committee,
according to one of the most inf1uen-
tial members believing that the changes
are good, will this year extend the
changes all over the field, and thus
