Yale, Likes Present Rules.

Soston, Dec. 24-"Sammy'' Morse. captain Of
Ihs yale football eleven this season. has de-
cIared himself unreservedly in favor Of the rules
as they now stand. with the single exception
that the playing time be increased from thirty
70 tnlrty-hve or forty minutes for each half. He
is quoted in The Boston Journal" to-day as
follows:
me new rules have improved the game Won
oerTuly. 7 have played under the new and the
old and 70 my mind there is no comparison
The game as played this year re1uir.as more

spectators.
hope the game will not be changed except in
some MINOR particulars by the rules committee
II VIII take two or three years 10 develop all the
possibilities Of the game as IL now stands and
the universal favor which the reformed foothal IL
has commanded leads me TO say that the rules
committee should allow all the time necessary
say three years-in order that the offence and
oefence which the new rules permit shall be
worked out.
I do believe, however. that the time of the
halves should be heightened to thirty-five or
forty minutes Under the old rules there was so
much time taken out and the mass plays were
so wearing on the man that the halves were
actually TOO long. Under the new rules praCti-
cally time is taken out. and the men have
scarcely struck their gait before the whistle
sounds for the end OF the game. That true
Of the Yale team in both the Princeton and
Harvard games. Personally. I believe that the
halves can be heightened to forty minutes with
out the slightest harm to the players, and With
q great deal Of satisfaction 10 the spectators. 1
confident that the rules committee will legis-
late along this line.
IN speaking of the little unpleasantness which
arose over the choice of officials for the Yale
Harvard game. Mr.. Morse said:
oh. most Of that has died away. Some OF the
BOYS we're inclined to he indignant over the mat
ter. They were nervous over the approaching
game. and in their excitement the thing looked
worse than II really was. Yale has no desire to
break with Harvard on the contrary, I think
every Yale man would regret very deeply any
thing Of the sort. There is always pleasure for
the members Of the Yale team 20 go up against
our friends in Cambridge The Harvard con-
tests are the big thing of the year at Yale in the
athletic way. and I know that, from A Yale
standpoint, II would be q great misfortune ir
anything happened which would interfere with
