played at left half IN most of the games this
fall, but took Captain Marks place at full in

that he will play fullback next season. He was

which will affect his standing next season. This
is his first season with North, as he came here
from Fergus Falls where he played on the high

Shattuck who played with North, will enter

Philadelphia, Dec. 13.-Philadelph1a does not
propose to let the army navy football game next
fall 60 to New York without a fight The
quaker city Intends to bring the contest here
again If 1t possibly be done. 1t was only
because of dispute between the University of
Pennsylvania and Annapolis as to the number
Of tickets that should be allotted to the navy
that the scene Of battle was moved to Prince
ton and 1t now looks as If the trouble might
be amicably adjusted. w
The experience at Princeton decided that the
game could never be played there again for
lack of adequate transportation facilities. New
York, Washington and Philadelphia are the only
three cities to which it could logically go. West
Point favors New York. Annapolis inclines to
Washington tho admitting that the capital is
as much too far away from West Point as New
York is from Annapolis.
Both academies feel that it would be in the
nature of a retreat to seek favor of old Penn
sylvania under the circumstances but word has
been brought here that If Pennsylvania should
see fit to take the initiative In opening the
negotiate tons all might be we'll s.
Those interested in football at old Penn, 1t was
learned today, are not only prepared to breach
the subject to the two academies but they are
now ready to grant the demand of Annapolis
for tickets if the game is transferred back
to Franklin field a has been discovered
by which this be done and at the same

K Negotiations will be opened soon with both
West Point and Annapolis and the authorities
here are confident that when the situa ton is
clearly presented to those institutions they will
agree to play future games here.

YALE FACULTY IS

Walter Camp Mentions Ten Yards

Idea. 3.
Journal snecial Service.

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 13-Enemies of foot
ball in the Yale faculty have decided that the
present Is the moment to strike to win their
point. Some Of them have demanded that the
intercollegiate football contests be abolished.
Others want only interclass matches. Another
set would abolish the entrance fee, abandon
secret practice and cut down the number of
coaches to two. This portion has secured
the promise of faculty meeting next term
to discuss the questions. =, -@--
Walter Camp comes out strong foY two changes
In the playing rules. The first was the adop-
ton Of the ten-yard gain four downs clause,
and the second was "a clause compelling all
tackling above the knees under heavy penalty.
Mr.. Camp said ''The first rule will, we think,
open the game and make it most interesting.
Many accidents arise from tackling below the
knee, and this should be prevented.
. Captain Sammy Morse said: ''Of course I hope
the rules committee will not destroy thezmair
features Of the game, and 1 have idea they
will. 1t seems to me that putting the backs
several yards behind the line on the defense
would tend to more injuries of the backs than
the present system"
Captain Tom Shevlin said: ST take it for
granted that the ten-yard rule on four downs
will be adopted. That will give plenty of
kicking, and that is when accidents arise. I'm
less some safeguards are established the game
may become rougher than ever. / am in favor

halves to twenty-five minutes"
