Yosr WANTS RULES CHANGED.
Suggests Yards for First Down In
side Opponents 25-Yard Line

Chicago, Dec. Coach Yost, of
Michigan, who has not fallen in with
the revised rules of football to any
great extent during the past season.
recommends a change for next year
from the present rule requiring 10
yards in three downs to hold the ball.
Yost's idea. explained to a limited
extent in a letter received by Chica-
go friend today. asks that the i've
yard rule be in effect after q first
down is made inside the opponents
25-yard line, or else that the mum Der
of downs be changed from three to 10
yards to four for Is yards all over the
field.
Rule-makers in the gridiron game
have considered the change to five
yards in three downs after the ball is
carried inside the opponents 25-yard
line, but the idea Of changing the
number Of downs to four for Is yards
is entirely new to them There has
been some talk OF four downs for 10
yards, which, under the present rules,
must be negotiated in three downs,
but to increase both the number Of
downs and the territory to be covered
within that limit is a new angle for
the consideration Of the committee.

It Means Risking Financial
Welfare for Reputation.
WANT SHORT SCHEDULE
Gait This Season for Kansas
Eleven Pretty Fast.
An Element at the University a
Date of "Soft Snaps"

Lawrence, Kan, Dec. lit is probable
that Kansas will have the hardest
schedule next season that has been ar
ranged at Lawrence in many years.
Wisconsin may play Kansas and a
game with Minnesota at Minneapolis is
a posi- bility. It is understood by the
JayhaWker players that If K. U. wants
to play these two Big Nine teams
the contests can be scheduled. The
only difficulty In the way IS that pOssi-
bly, better paying games could be ar
ranged on the dates that minnesota and
Wisconsin want. For instance, a game
with St. Louis university at ST. Louis
Wou- probably make more money for
the Kansans than would a game with
Minnesota at Minneapolis.
Here seems to be the Jayhawxers'
chance to break into fast company.
They were practically out Of the west
ern football work for the two years
when they were quarreling with Ne
braska. The victory over the Corn
huskers this season gave the Lawrence
team a good standing in western foot
pail, and now seems to be the time for
Kansas to take a chance to demon
strate that they have real football play
ers. Nebraska gained football repu-
tation by ma king good showings against
Big Nine teams and has gradually
worked I'D a football schedule that in
cludes the recognized leaders in col
1eEfate football in the west Games with
Minnesota, Wisconsin. iowa and Ne
braSka can be arranged by the jay
hawkers for next year. If the Kansas
athletic board feels like risking their
financial welfare Tor a reputation. A
game between Kansas and Wisconsin
at Kansas City would draw well and
only a mischance would cause Kansas
to lose any money on the contest.
The K U. players want a shorter
Echedule next year than was played
this season. Twelve games We're sche-
duled; eleven Of them We're played
The Emporia Normals Cancelled their
game because they feared diphtherla
endemic that was spending a few
weeks in Lawrence. Probably only
eight games will be played. If the
wishes Of the Jayhawker football men
are respected it will be something like
this: In October. Haskell, Washburn,
Kansas State Agricultural college and
Minnesota. In November, Wisconsin,
Nebraska and Missouri or Iowa. a
practice game or two would be played
early in the season with the smaller
Kansas college teams.
Such a schedule would mean finan-
cial ruin" will say the Kansas athletic
authorities Perhaps the Jayhawkers
would do no more than break even on
the season, but they would be widely
advertised and If they played real foot
bail they would gain a good reputation
that would get them as good football
schedules as are procured by Nebraska
There is, however, an element in the
University Of Kansas that believe that
the Jayhawkers should arrange their
schedules in an endeavor to have a new
er-defeated team, such as Yost had at
K. U. in 1899

FINDS A VALUABLE PEARL.
Wichita Walters Curiosity in Regard
to an Oyster Rewarded.

Wichita, Kan. Dec. 1.-Glenn L. JOY
a student of the Wichita Commercial
college, who is working his way through
school as a waiter at the Royal cafe
on East Douglas avenue, found. in an
oyster at the restaurant, a valuable
pearl.
Yesterday morning, his work finished
at the restaurant, he was making prep
arations to go to school. Before leav-
ing the restaurant kitchen he noticed
in an oyster can an oyster which ap-
peared of darker hue than the others
At first he thought he would throw the
oyster away, but the size of the oyster
inlIuenced him to place 1t in a spoon
ana lay 1t on the shelf of the restau-
rant. He returned at noon, and MOTTO
ing the oyster where he had placed it
in the morning. decided to cut it open
to find, If possible, if some abnormal
growth had disfigured it. When he cut
it open a pearl of large size and as
clear and perfect as crystal Was found.
Many who have examined the pearl
have pronounced it valuable gem. It's
size and it's symmetrical formation,
alonk with its color, makes 1t a
rare pearl.

Wichita, kan, Dee. 1.-Wycoff Wright,
the street car conductor who shot and
killed Edward A. Hoehle here Thurs
day night, was released by direction OF

the inquest, every witness corroborated

man, and had threatened at least one
other. The motorman, who was on the
car at the time, and boy who had
called out to the conductor to warn
