TO ABOLISH MASS PLAYS
MOVEMENT TO MODIFY THE PLAY
ING RULES OF FOOTBALL.
Seventy Head Masters of Leading
Schools Petition the Committee
to Make Changes.

NEW YORK, Feb. ga petition signed
by more than seventy head masters of
schools, representing many States, looking
TO the modification Of the present playing
rules of football, has been presented 10
the intercollegiate football rules commit
tee. The petition is one phase of the move
ment for the adjustment of mass plays
and had its inception at conference held
in connection with the meeting of the head
masters association in Boston last Decem-
per- A committee was appointed which
drew up the following circular letter ad-
dressed to the intercollegiate committee on
football rules:
"Gentlemen-The undersigned. head mas
tiers or schools in which football Is played,
take this method of urging upon your COM
mittee the desirability of so modifying the
present rules as to eliminate, as far as pos
siDle, without sacrificing the game, the OBJ
?ectionable and dangerous features that ex-
list at the present time. The objections TO
these features have already been publicly
made and we are bringing forward no
new proposition. Our experience with foot
pail teams made up of boys below the col
lege age shows US, in their extreme form
the evil results of the game as at present
played. We also feel, in view of the fact
tnat the large majority of college players
nary training on our school teams, and in
view of the consequent Importance to COL
Iege football OF having the game fully de-
veloped In the secondary schools that our
testimony as to the points In question is at
least entitled to careful consideration
we wish to express in emphatic terms
our Judgment based on experience that
football as at present played is too severe
and too dangerous and our belief that il is
possible, by modification of the rules TO
develop a style of football that will retain
the unique and characteristic advantages
OF the present game without its most Sc
rlous attendant evils. We present no ar
guments on the subjects, as they already
are familiar to you. We make no specific
suggestions. for you are the most compe-
tent ones to decide how the desired end can
be secured. We simply point out the tes-
timony and urge you, in the interest of COL
lege and school athletics, to take speedy
action for the elimination of the present
objectionable and dangerous features of
football.
The petition was signed by almost every
head master to whom 1t was sent and the
signatures represent all the leading foot
ball schools of the East as well as the
champion schools Of the West.

Bowling Alleys to BE Constructed In
TOmlfnsOn Hall.

The material for the construction of the
ten bowling alleys that are to be used at
the National Bowling tournament is now in

day afternoon and this morning the first
work of building the alleys will begin. The
work will be started under the supervi-

pany that is putting IN the alleys. The
contract calls for ten pine alleys, continu-
ously constructed, and sixty sets Of pins.
ounces, for a total cost of 81, 400. The COM
pany will require two weeks TO install the
alleys and one week to remove them.
In addition to this work the local assoc
citation will have elevated seats erected
on the stage of the hail. This will give
a splendid view of the progress of the
games as they will be bowled from the
and the runways thirteen feet will be re-
served for players and scorers only. The
spectators will be confined to the stage
seats and balconies.
The first work of the alley builders will
be the building of the subfoundation, con-
sisting of pine on cork carpet. Over this
the leveling strips will be placed and over
them another layer of cork carpet On
this carpet the alley beds will be built. The
character of construction will result in
noiseess games, except for that made by
the impact of the balls on the pins.
The Brunswick Balke-Collender Company
of Chicago, which has the contract for the
alleys. has brought seventeen men here for
the work. Nine more will be employed.
They will work continuously in shifts of
eight hours each until the alleys are ready
for the tournament.

CHICAGO'S LATEST STRIKE.
Owners of Office Buildings May he
Frozen Into Submfssion.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Tenants in many large
office buildings found considerable incon-
venience in getting to and from their Of
fees to-day. owing to the strike of elevator
conductors, who, with starters, janftors and
window washers, are seeking to enforce
recognition of their unions by the Build
ing Managers Association. While some
sort of elevator service was effected by the
building managers in nearly every instance
the support being given the strikers by the
coal teamsters threatens to leave the
buildings in darkness and without heat un-
less a speedy settlement is arranged. Coal
teams are being turned back without de-
posting their loads at many of the build
ings. Particular attention is being paid by
pickets to the Dearborn Power COMPANY
which furnishes light and power TO most of
the affected buildings and which is said 10
have no more than enough coal to last
through the day.
At conference between the Building
Managers Association and Representatives
of the strikers the managers offered to ar
bitrate the difficulty if the men would re-
turn TO work. This the strikers refused to
do. asserting that they had been trying to
arbirrate the matter for the last six months
without any results, and that the difficulty
had now reached stage where il could be
adjusted only by the granting of all the
demands.
