HYDROPHOBIA DEATH
SHOULD Be WARNING

Now that there has been death from
hydrophobia people will probably be more
careful In having bites from animals
properly attended to as soon as possible.
and the health authorities advised when
the rabies scare reached this city.
Several persons are daily bitten by dogs
who think no more about II soon as
the pain ceases. IL person after having
been bitten by a rabid animal does not
undergo the treatment at Pasteur In
stitute, hydrophobia is likely to develop;
and IL is n fatal disease.
Therefore, the treatment at the Pasteur
institute should be undergone as soon as
possible after the bite as IL is a pre-
vtntive one against hydrophobia.
IL will greatly releave a persons anx-
iety, after having been bitten. II the ami
mails brain can be examined. Therefore
every effort should be made 10 secure the
animal
II the health authorities are notified
they will make every effort 10 secure the
animal and the city bacterologist will
make an examination OF It's brain.

FOOTBALL At
MOSES BROWN

Football at the Moses Brown. formerly
the Friends school, is just now in an
unsettled condition, owing 20 the gradu-
alton of one member OF the varsity
eleven and the failure OF six others to
return to the school this term.
Those OF the 1906 team who will not
be on the gridiron this year are Collins.
right tackle: Moore. right tackle and
centre: Tingley, right end; Mahlstadt.
quarter; Davis, sub right end; Jones'. left
end and half back; Owens. right guard
Those who will be In the varsity eleven
this year are Capt. James Wilson. left
guard; Eldridge right guard and left
tackle; Patton. right guard and right half
back; Clarke. fun and sub quarter back;
Spicer. centre and sub-full- back; Reach,
right halfback,
The young men began 10 return TO
school today. and Coach Edmund d.
searle had nearly score out for prac-
tice. but will be unable before Saturday
TO make selections for filling the va
cancies on the team. Several OF them
looked promising. but none more so than
Macomber, who is one OF four who this
year have returned TO school
Coach searle says that Macomber has
in him the making Of a good man. as
he is big. heavy and well developed; but
what position ne can best fihll Mr.. Searle
come back have had football experience
and may be drafted upon the team.
But one game has been scheduled thus
far II is with st. Georges eleven on
Nov 8.
Coach Searle has made careful study
OF the new rules and says there are few
which viii affect the playing The for
ward pass I'm his opinion does not amount
TO much Its limitations arc such that
II will be dangerous TO try and only those
of skill can hope 10 work II successfully.
The rule not allowing line men to be
put back with the exception of at the
fve-yard line will have the effect OF
not allowing the big fellows TO come
through the line
But II will take away opportunities for
versatile play and make the game less
interesting. The general effect Of re
quiring the lO-yard gain Is TO make the
scores OF even teams much smaller. But
It will make the score large for superior
teams and reduce that of the weaker
teams. for the latter connot make 10
yards where they can five yards. be-
cause they cannot hold the ball so
long. This rule will tend to make the
games less interesting.
The rule as TO tacklitg calling a man
down when any part OF his body touches
the ground. is good in its intention, in
that II seeks TO eliminate brutality; but
there must be considered the reflex action
Of the school officials. 1t will he hard
10 penallze when II is known for n GER
tainty that a lost game will cause
strenuous kick from the losing side. The
more rigorous the penalty the less likeli-
hood there will be OF satisfaction
Unless the school and college sentiment
backs up the penalty there Will be no
use In putting IL on, The whole ques-
ton Is whether there will be more or
less interest taken in the game. This Is
wholly a matter Of speculation There
will not be much more open playing. and
the tendency may be 20 stop the playing
OF the game between the larger and
smaller colleges.

AS the cars met, the whistle ropes
were jammed in the wreck, producing
continuous shrieking OF the whistles.

continuous blowing OF the whistle until
the cars were separated, added TO the
confusion.
AS the motormen tried 10 reverse. the

0 O'bR|EN AND
BURNS MEET

Manager McCarey's office yesterday af-
ternoon nearly had an impromptu mill
between Philadelphia Jack o'Brien and
Tommy Burns. In which Secretary
Charles McHugh OF the Pacific Athletic
club. former Philadelphian, was nearly
choked by Burns after a verbal set-to.
o'Brien and Burns encountered one an
other Saturday afternoon, when both
were In bad humor, and but for the In
reference OF witnesses a general rough
house would have resulted.
Burns and O'Brien applied epishets free
ly, though O'Brlen declared that under
no circumstances would he raise a hand
against Burns The latter, however. so
vllihed OBrien that Jack became wild
with rage and intimated to Burns that
when they met In the ring he would ten
der the Gentleman Boxer" thrashing
he had never dreamed OF.
When Burns entered McCarey's office
O'Brien was talking with friends.
Hello, O'Brien" said Burns. at the
same time Offering his hand. O'Brien
glanced coldly at Burns and replied:
Gentlemen are not In the habit Of prof.
fering their hands 70 fakirs and fixers
OF fights" Burns grew white and said:
"Fakir and fxer Of fights. you say.
Well. you needn't talk. You never fought
on the square i'm your life. Every fight
you went into was fixed or faxed"
After a few more remarks, each warm
er than its predecessor. the two pugflists
started for each other, but were separat-
ed and hurried away by their friends.
