The general effects of the above
noted changes are as said before, inn
possible to say. and yet l am inclined
to think that with six men in the line
we will see the return Of the much
ttouted "who-back" play. The whoa
back" play, it will be remembered, was
that i'm which one man was taken out of
the line and played back Of the full
back. 1T will also allow a more perfect
protection for the kicker in kicking
forma ton. Unless am much mistaken
the return of tackle back plays with
notifications. All in all, do not think
that coaches will spend much gray
matter in connecting new plays. but
rather dig up what they used before
last year.
The change which the rule book des-
ignates as the next important change
to those mentioned. l believe in some
respects to be the most important one.
Under the rules as they We're a field

it will count only four. and this is true
whether the goal is made by drop,

right direction. In the opinion of the
writer it would have been a little better
if they had shaved off another point.
but a half loaf is better than nothing.
l do hope that the rule makers. be-
fore next season, take up the matter of
the goal after a touch down. Perhaps
il is too radical for some of us to ask
to have the goal after a touch down
entirely abolished. and yet it would not
be the most foolish move I'm the world
If ii We're done. If the goal after the
touch down is not abolished before the
next season l believe that the powers
that be will make a rule which re-
quires the goal to be made by "A place

NEW YORK. Sept. 17.-Today marks
the first appearance of gootball on the
athletic stage for 1904. In the east the
season opens today with game be-
tween the Carlisle Indians and Labanon
Valley College at Carlisle, and in the
west the University of Chicago plays
Lombard College.
At most of the big colleges th.- teams
have been engaged in practice for sew
eral weeks and with the opening of the
college year the sport will be taken up
IL ernest. Pennsylvania will inaugu-
f,..e its schedule next Saturday with
a game with Franklin and Marshall.
Yale and Princeton will not start their
schedule until September IS. while
Harvard's first contest is down for
October /. On that date all the teams
throughout the country will be IN ac-
ton, and from on there will be football
galore until the Army and Navy close
the season in Philadelphia on Novern-

With the opening of the season the
thousands of enthusiasts the country
over are interested TO know what
changes will result from the amended
rules which govern this greatest of
college sports. When the InteTcoiie-
giate Rules Committee met this YEAR ii
made a careful study of the expert

change the provision for seven men,

by at least six men must be on to line
of scrimmage. in every part OF the field.
This allows five men TO be behind the
line at any time. but, in order to pre-
tect the players from the much dreaded
mass formations. provision was added
in accordance with which the fifth
player back must stand in n position
outside of either extremity Of the line.
This will permit a great many Nlria

An event of interest to all follow
ers OF football Is the issuing OF the rule
book which is out this week. This
gives every one an opportunity to study
for himself the changes which have
been made in the game this season.
All the principal changes in the foot
ball rules for the season of 1904 are in
the nature of compromises. Under the
old rules no less than Ave men were
allowed in the lire of scrimmage.
The result was that plays We're en :
volved which depended to great ex-
tent on heavy mass playing for their
efficiency. Players We're so grouped be-
hind the line that we had the forbidden
wedge formations in everything but
name. A change was needed but what
the change should be not even the rules
committe itself seemed to know. How
ever. an experimental change in the
rules was made last year, under which
at least seven men We're required in
the line when the ball was put in play
In the middle section of the field-that
is, between the two twenty five yard
lines.
However, the old rules We're still in
force inside of the twenty five yard
lines. The result of this change. though
was a little awkward. as the different
rules under which the teams played ON
the respective sections of the field made
it at its best difficult, both for the
snaotatn, and tho MA yar
The prevailing idea in the minds of
the rule makers evidently was to make
a more uniform style of play. There

difference, as il were, and fixed the

Ii les also allowed that the man first
receiving the ball from the center may
run from any part of the field.
Whether these changes are for the
better or the worse Is impossible to say
until one sees them in actual play. In
fact, the whole subject Is handled very
xfngeyiy By the football sages. as il
they aldnft exactly know what to do to
better the game.

Triumphs Of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human BODY by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take
the place of diseased sections of veins:
autiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like iniu-
ries before Inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without matura
tion and in one-tnird the time required
by the old treatment. Chamberlafn's
Pain Balm acts on this same principle.
1t is an antiseptic and when applied to
such injuries causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain and
soreness. Keep bottle of Pain Balm
in your home and it will save you time
and money, not to mention the incon-
venience and suffering which such in
iuries entail. For sale by Dawson

It may be a question of little while
longer, but public park for Dawson

officials unanimously endorsing 1t there
Is no reason why such resort cannot
be secured.
The sentiment of the city governors,
however, seems to indicate that the
project cannot be accomplished this
wear. but as a unit they declare their
willingness to give the city park by
next spring, when it is believed it will
be more feasible to undertake the
work.
Mayor Mercer, when asked by The
News for an expression of opinion con-
corning the proposed park, stated that
he is heartily in favor of it, but that
he thought short postponement OF a
settlement of the question necessary.
He said: 81 am anxious TO see pub
lie park in Dawson. They add to the
appearance of city and furnish en-
ioyment and pleasure to its people. At
present, however, I believe the city
hardly able to stand the expense nee
essary to secure a creditable park, in
view of the many recent Improvements
made in the electric light system and
other things. But [ see no reason
why another year should not see the
proposed park an accomplished fact,

that next spring or summer will see
resort of this kind in Dawson"

having the park, but like the rest OF

When Alderman Dean was approach
ed he replied: Eyes, l certainly am
in favor of public parks and similar
Improvements. They are credit and
a source of enjoyment to every town.
/ must, however, say that l hardly
think the time ripe to lay out and i'm.

cate of a public park for Dawson, and
hope we can have one, or better, even,
two. Right now, though, as member
of the city council 1 can hardly see my
way clear to vote for an appropriation
for this purpose in view of so many ex.

HONESTY STILL LIVES.
After Fourteen Years Negro

The payment of debt occurred in

of Dawson, the former promising faith
fully and earnestly to bring back in
payment of the debt on the following

succeeded Saturday and no chicken
was forthcoming. Whenever the gen.
tleman in question saw Tom Smith, ex-
cuses and promises, apologies and
declarations came fast-but there
never came until last week the promis-
ed fowl, then not only one, but two.
Whether it was the prickings or
conscience that affected Tom Smith
cannot be said, but something i'm
