HORSE BITES JOCKEY.
Nearly Takes Foot Off in Scrimmage
at Aqueduct Track.

An apprentice boy named Ogilvie met
with q distressing and at the same time
an unusual accident at the Aqueduct race
track yesterday afternoon. The boy had
the mount on the Boston stables three
year-old colt Palette in the Flushing
stakes. One of the starters in the race was
William L. divers All Gold, and just as
the animals were taking their positions at
the post All Gold suddenly sprang al
Palette in an attempt to savage her. He
bit viciously at the flly and finally caught
little Ogilvie's foot in his mouth and crush
ed the ankle bones frightfully.
In his attempt to escape from the beast
the boy twisted in his saddle and finally
fell off While he was lying on the ground
his own horse stepped on him and broke
his collarbone. Two policemen carried the
boy through the infield to the jockey room,
his injured foot dangling as though 1t were
merely held on by the ligaments. An am
bulance surgeon announced that Ogilvie
had sustained a compound fracture OF the
bone and some doubt was expressed as to
whether the leg could be saved. Ogilvie
has been connected with the Boston stable
for some time, but yesterday was his sec

hospital.

FOOT BALL soLoNs MEET.
intercollegiate Rules Committee to Dis
cuss Last Years Changes.


cuss Last Years Changes.
The intercollegiate football rules commit
tee will hold it's first session today at the
Hotel Walton, Philadelphia Chairman
Walter Camp called the meeting at this
time because all the members are there to
attend the University of Pennsylvania re-
lay races
The following are the members of the
committees: Walter Camp, Yale, chairman;
John c. Bell. Pennsylvania: A. A. Stage.
Chicago; L. M. Dennis, Cornell; Paul
DashieiI, Annapolis; Robert Wrenn, Har-
ward.
Some very important legislation is ex-
pected at this time, because Of the expert
ments made with the rules last year. 1t
was announced by the committee last sum-
merely on trial. The important changes
made at this time were those requiring
that seven men be in the line of scrtm-
mage between the 25-yard lines, and that
between these lines the first man receiving
the ball be allowed to run with 1t, provid-
ing he goes five yards to one side of the
center.
The members of the committee will dis
cuss these rules today with q view to as
pertaining whether or not they were adj
vantageous.
AS usual, the committeeman have come
primed with suggestions for a further re-
vision of the rules. The most persistent
of these suggestions is one calling for a
change In the scoring value of a drop kick
Some contend that five points is too much
to allow for drop or field kick, and that
two, or, at the most. three, points is SUM-
cient.
Another change suggested is that In case
of tumble or a blocked kick the ball be
given to the side recovering 1t at the spot
where 1t was fumbled or the kick blocked.
It Is argued that this will eliminate to ,
large extent the element of luck.
Among the foot ball men who Will LOBBY
during The meeting is Coach Yost of Mich.
gan. The westerner's fertile brain Is fuil
of excellent ideas on needed reforms in the
rules.
