JAP LOSSES ARE 100, 900
The --latest Report Indicate That They
Paid Dear for Victory.


(By Associated Press.J
The Japanese losses are estimated at
the Russian headquarters to be 100,-
900.
Some of the troops employed to
cover the retreat from Mukden were
badly demoralized, losing their way
in the hills eastward and only now re-
joining their onwn divisions.
So certain was General Kuropatkin
of being able to hold Mukden that
maps of the country northward were
not even distributed. Kuropatkin,
however, resolved to accept battle
against his better judgment, owing
to the .impatience of st. Petersburg
for victory, or he was confirmed in
this decision by false calculations of
Field Marshal Oyama's strength.
One of the main factors of the sue
cess of the Japanese was the violation
of Chinese neutrality in the use of
! the Simmintin road.

Unless both OF these questions may

league and had the best team III the
east. The News says: Manager Billy
Van has received a fiattering offer to
take his Lewiston team to Indiana in
March to play a series of exhibition
G1mes and in an interview with The
News tonight, stated that he had sent
on contracts to be signed SO there is no
doubt but what Lewiston will be rep
resented in the West, as Manager Van
never went after anything but what he
made good. He is positive that his team
can go West and win a few games and
get little of that good Western
money"

Does Not Agree With Camp
on Football Question.
Favors -Four Downs to Make
the I0-Yard Gain.
Wants Five Men Behind line..-faurs Pres
ent Rules II Officials Enforce Them.

Detroit, Dec. 22-Fielding ii. fost'
coach of the university OF Mlchlsah
football eleven last night nialied let-
ter to Walter Camp, chairman OIL the
football rules committee, regarding pro-
posed changes in the rules. Coach foSt
shows disinclination to agree with
Mr.. Camp that the team having possess
sion Of the ball must advance 1t 10
wards in three downs. Eost suggests al
lowing three downs for the requisite 10
wards. A rule of three downs for 10
Yards, says Yost, would in a game be-
tween two well-matched teams, devel-
op a more punting duel
Other suggestions by Coach Yost are
as follows:
Allow five men back of the line of
scrimmaSe.
Do not abolish the low tackle. but
legislate against the double tackle.
Let the rules stand as at present. as
far as roughing is concerned, but make
the officials enforce them.
Have the officials named by a CEN
trail appointing board.
Make the time of halves 90 minutes
instead of the present So minutes.
Regarding roughneSS in the game,
Coach Yost says:
"In the entire history of football at
Michigan we have never had a man
seriously injured in playing or prac-
ticing the game. Regarding brutality
OH the field, 1 can only coincide most
heartily IN your views. No punishment
is too severe for such an offence. Dis
qualification is not unreasonable. There
are enough clean, able players in every
school to make up an eleven that can
play the game as gentlemen should"
