COLUMBIA "a. KRKsvIIILE A.
The Missouri Tigers Used Plays Made
Possible by New Rules.

Columbia, Mo- Oct s.-The Missouri
Tigers opened the season brilliantly at
Rollins field Tuesday afternoon, defeat
ing the Kirksville normal team in a
fast game by the score Of "a to T. The
Missouri team used a number Of plays
made possible by the new rules, and
their success makes it appear as If the
new game will prove exceedingly pop
ular. The general verdict of cOachers
players and spectators was that the
game was the most spectacular that
has been seen in Columbia for several
seasons.
The most interesting feature Of the
game vas the frequent use of the for
ward pass. Except when the ball was
fumbled, the play was good for a gain
OF from ten to fifteen yards, even when
the man was downed in his tracks.
The play was made by the quarterback
starting on an end run and then pitch
ing the ball ten to twenty yards. to an
end who had run out wide to receive it.
The first half was close, due to the
fact that Missouri invariably lost the
bail when the Kirksville goal Was in
danger. About five minutes before the
close of the half Douglass. on a delay
ed pass, ran is yards for a. touchdown.
McWillians, the Kirksville punter,
did much to keep the score down in
both halves by his brilliant work. In
the second half, when Missouri lost
the ball on a poor forward pass, Nc
Williams kicked a pretty drop kick
for a goal from the 30-yard line. Mis-
souri, had the luck in the second half
and made three touchdowns in twenty
minutes of play. Coach Monilaw sub
stituted number of men, but the team
did not decrease in strength.

MUST PERFECT THE NEW PLAY.
Forward Pass on eOn side'' Kick
Useless Unless Wen Executed.

Boston, Oct. 3.-As was anticipated,
football games in which there were
evenly matched teams. brought out the
fact that the forward pass and the ION
side kick viii have to be remarkably
well developed to be a go this fall. and
that with the necessity to gain
ten yards in three downs the big col
lege teams will have to discover more
new and varied methods of carrying
the ball other than the plunging into
the line which has been in vogue so
long.
Harvard. which would have been
able to beat Williams by a big score
under the old rules. was able to win
only through blocking a kick and
muffed kick near the Williams goal
line.
However, the game had this in its
favor, that it was calculated to please
the spectators. for there was some~
thing doing all the time, and mere
brute strength certainly played
smaller part in the contest than has
been seen on Soldiers field ever before.
There was little chance to judge
whether the new rules will entirely do
away with injuries. but it seems likely
that serious hurts will be fewer. The
possession of the ball does not seem to
be OF any great advantage, nor will It
be until some new method Of advanc-
ing it is discovered.
Harvard undergraduates are vet in
doubt about whether they viii like
the new game, but are willing to see
1t tried more thoroughly.

OTTAWA DEFEATS NEEDLES.
Kansas BaDtists Won Out by Good
Work Of CARPENTER.

Kansas City, Oct 3.=The Ottawa
university football team defeated the
Sportsman's park yesterday afternoon
by a score of to 0. The only score
of the game was made in the first half
after fifteen minutes of play when the
NEEDLES fumbled the bali on their own
35-yard line. Carpenter, right tackle
on the Baptist team, grabbed the ball,
broke away from the serimmage and
after disposing of two Medic tacklers
! hiked down the field for a touchdown.
Allen missed an easy goal from the
touchdown.
There was little exhibition of he ex-
purgated rules in the game yesterday.
Neither team used the forward pass.
The game went quicker because Of the
limited time out" rule. Punting was
frequent, and was caused by the in
ability Of the teams to make the re-
Qutred ten yards in three downs. Meth
er team punted in situations that
would not have called for kick I'M
der the old rules. Allen easily out
punted Diemer. The Ottawa boy was
more cool headed than the doctor,
whose nervousness several times made
hunts out of his kicks.
The NEEDLES OutWeighed the Baptists
almost twelve pounds to the man.
What the Ottawa team lacked in beef
was made up in speed and team work.
Their Interference was good and with
one exception the men went into the
a bad habit of lodging back from the
tacklers on his quarterback runs and
several times he lost ten yards be-
cause he did not run aggressively. The
doctors were not in condition. They
asked for time out six times, all they
are allowed by law. The Baptists did
not ask once for time.
In the second half the Skull and
Bones team began playing great foot
ball. Smith was the whole Medic
team He plunged through the line
for gains of from five to fifteen yards
and the ball was twice carried danger
ously near the Baptist goal. Brum-
images men were no weaklings when it
came to goal line stands. Twice they
held the big doctors for downs when
the ball was only a few yards from the
Ottawa goal line.
The Medics might have scored had
they had a few more minutes to play
in the first half. TIME at the end of the
first half was called when the Medics
were about to try a place kick from
the Ottawa 30-yard line. About the
middle of the second half, Smith was
injured and had to leave the game.
After this the game was merely a
kicking contest. as with Smith out of
the game the Medics could not make
their gains. The lineup:

Mr.. Sullivan to Leave Us.
This is from the New York Tribune:

This is from the New YORK tribune:
Congressman Timothy D. Sullivans
friends said yesterday that it was about
the same as settled that the big fellow
would resign his seat in the House not later
than July /, to he eligible a candidate
next fall for his old seat in the state SEN
ate. Mr.. Sullivan is tired of Washington.
He has been in his seat in the House only
once this year, and that was on the open
ing day.
Every man to his taste, and it must be
admitted that Albany is a good town. but
Mr. Sullivan has hardly given Washington
a fair trial. He has not been here long
enough, or often enough, to discover the
attractions of the place. And then the big
topics are but just opening, as it were.
Congress for the coming six or eight years
will be a singularly valuable and inviting
field for young statesmen of ability and
ambition. II Mr.. Sullivan is thinking only
of his district leadership in Tammany Hall
Albany is all right, but If he has his eyes
on the United States Senate, or the presi-
dency-and why not?-then Washington is
most decidedly the town.

Santo Domingo.

What has become of the Santo Domingo
treaty? 1t is so good an instrument that
prompt ratification should have followed its
receipt by the Senate. Instead of that,
controversy set up and took a wide and
speculative range. and action has been de-
ferred The Dominicans are puzzled, and
Europe must wonder a little We are GER
tafnly not impressing the outside world IA
vorably by introducing domestic politics
into our questions of diplomacy.
The Presidents course was a practical re-
Spouse to clear and definite situation. He
did not commit this government to any
thing beyond our power easily to perform
The Dominicans-near neighbors-sought
our aid in an emergency, and in doing SO
complimented US. They put complete trust
In our friendship. as we'll as in our ability
to perform the service desired. 1t is this
feeling of confidence that we are hoping to
establish in the bosoms of all our neigh
bors this side of the great water.
Probably the feeblest of the criticisms
leveled at this treaty is that which declares
that 1t sets a precedent for debt collecting
by this government 1t does nothing of the
kind 1t commits us to nothing beyond the
plain terms of its own provisions. We shall
be as free as before to act in any other case
that may come up according to its particu-
lar features. 1t is neither within our abl-
ity nor the scope of our purpose to regulate
debt-contracting debt-collecting by for
eign powers. In this case we are merely
assisting an embarrassed neighbor at her
own request and to the satisfaction of her
creditors in dealing with an annoying finan-
cial tangle.
The question is asked, Why have re-
sponded favorably 70 this call? Because we
are interested in good order In Santo Do
mingo. We prefer good order to turbu-
lence in that country. Chaos there would
in a way injure US. For If chaos came we
should be obliged to step in rather than
permit any European power to do So
Chaos, we may be sure, would not be toll
Grated there as a constancy. Some power
would take charge If we did not, and such
a seizure would, of course, bring us to our
SepSpS immediately
