Two Football Rules
Haze Been Changed
Six Men Must Be in Line All Over Field
Value of Goal From Field Reduced
to Four Points.

Two important changes in the playing
rules and one In the scoring, together
with some minor changes, have been
made in the football rules by the inter-
collegiate committee.
The most important change Is the ex-
tension of the same rules all over the
playing field and compelling six men
TO be always in the line Of scrimmage.
while If seven men are in the line the
quarterback. or the first man taking
the ball from center. may run with II,
provided that he goes outside the second
man from the center-that is. the tackle.
1t was thought desirable TO have the
same rules hold all over the field. In

the 25-yard lines.

Washington Exhibit Said to Have
Contained Samples.
Rosalia, Wash, June 2O.-''I would
give good deal to know who sent a
bundle of wild oats to the st. Louis
exposition as an example of the agri-
cultural resources of the state" said
H. l.. Morse, after his return from the
St. Louis exposition this week.
"The grain and fruit exhibit of the
State of Washington is very poor, and
unworthy of the state. Accompanied
by MIR. Moreland visited the Wash
ington state building, and we were
surprised to find the man in charge
arranging punches of wild oats and
placing them on exhibition as sample
of the grain we grow here.
"By questioning the man in charge
and convincing him that the oats were
what we claimed them to be, we sue.
ceededT in having them removed.
1.-The timber and mineral exhibit is
creditable, but the agricultural exhib-
it is sadly neglected and does the farm
ing interests of the state an injustice
that ought to be remedied.
Mr.. Morse and Mr.. Moreland were
among the first of the local people to
visit the exposition. They have farm
cd here for years and know what this
state can produce.
