DIR. WILLIAMS ON
CAMPS NEW RULE
Suggests Notifications Which
Would Result in Brilliant
Football Next Year,

Or. Il. I. Williams, the coach Of Mnnesota's
football team, does not altogether agree with
Walter Camps suggestions regarding lengthen-
ing the distance in downs. In article in the
Minnesota Daily Of today he says:
1.-THE proposed new rule to require 10-yard
gains in three downs. instead of five, cannot
fail If adopted, to produce the greatest change
in the American game Of football that has taken
place in years. If this rule is adopted
without changing the other rules they now
stand it will transform the game very largely
into kicking contest, when two teams meet
that are at all evenly matched. Touchdowns
will be made but seldom in the big games, and
whom they occur it will be more or less by
chance securing the ball a blocked kicks a
fumbled punt or long, brilliant dash by an
individual player, such as is occasionally seen
but never be counted on. In other words,
the defense of wel-drilled team will nearly
always stop the offense Of opponent before
they can carry the ball a sufficient distance to
secure touchdown If the proposed rule is
adopted, while the remainder Of the rules remain
the they are now.
Looking over the charts Of the most important
games played by Minnesota for the past three
seasons, it is interesting to note what the re-
suit of this rule would have been.
"Thus, in 1902, when Michigan defeated Min
nesota % to 6, the would have been II to
g. In 1908 the gopher-wolverine would
have been 0 to instead Of to g. In the re-
cent Minnesota Wisconsin game, the first touch.
down would have been the only one made. For
i'm all these marches for touchdowns there was
always some period when ten yards was not
made in three downs. -.
"If such proposed change should be adopted.
should advocate that it apply only to the space
in the middle of the field, between the 25-yard
lines and that inside of the 25yard lines the old
rule of five yards on three downs be in force
Or. if adopted for the whole field, that the
quarterback be allowed to carry the ball without
the restriction Of having to pass the line five
yards outside the center, and that the old rhle
requiring only five men on the line with two
men outside the ends be restored Adopted
with these notifications, more brilliant football
than any yet seen the gridiron would undoubt
ed1y result, and from the spectators standpoint
the game would be greatly improved

got them confused, and only my friend able
to point out which which.
''That is what call q Palermo dollar" he
said. ''Do you remember some years ago that
western silver miners caught taking about
81, 900, 900 worth Of silver into the Nevada City
mint and having it turned into money without
being recorded? Well, that is just what is
going on in Palermo today, with variations.
Silver is bought in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, or
thereabout, and shipped to Paris, then to Paler-
mo. and minted with reasonable privacy. The
dollars are tumbled with stones to nick them
and laid in creased clay, then come over here in
