NEW GAME or FOOTBALL.
DR.. Sargent, of Harvard. Invents It for
16 Men ON a Side.

16 Men on a Side.
Cambridge, Mass, Nov. Doctor
Dudley Allen Sargent, director Of the
Hemingway gymnasium at Harvard,
has invented q new football game
without a name. That is, he is wait
ing before giving it a name and draw
ing rules to govern it.
The game is played on a field 100
feet square, with a goal on each side
of the square. A 25-foot square is
marked off in each corner of the field,
and another 60-foOt square is laid off
in the middle. The goals are six feet
wide and seven and one-haf feet high,
but these will probably be widened to
ten feet as Doctor Sargent considers
them too narrow.
Each team is composed of sixteen
men. and one man from each team
stands in each of the corner squares,
while two men from each side have
positions in front Of each goal The
rest of the men stand in the center
square.
The ball is kicked or thrown for a
goal. If no goal is made a point Is
scored against the team trying for
each attempt. A goal thrown from
the corners counts two and a goal
kicked from the corner one. NO goals
can be kicked from the center OF the
field.

TO His Playing.
Big Fellow Says There Is No
Doubt About His Eligibility.

The Washburn team engaged IN
hard practice last night for the game
on Saturday with the Paramount col
lege team. The shifting Of several Of
the men with Haughey at full. Will
liams at tackle, Munford at guard and
Smiley at end was tried and indica-
tons seem to point that the team
work will be perfected to a pretty
good degree by the time Saturday s
game is at hand. All the men seem
to be taking hold Of the work with a
more jealous spirit than at any time
for several days. They realize that a
shift in positions at this time of the
season is a pretty bad handicap for
any team but they are doing their
best to minimize the handicap All
the men are now in pretty good shape
for Saturdays game with Paramount
and all seem to feel confident.

Kansas players. There were no ques-

on the grounds that he is not taking
enough work in the college. They

FEWER DEATHS 10 FOOTBALL.
But New Rules Increase Number of
Minor Injuries.


Chicago, Nov. 2.-''The new foot
ball rules have increased minor in
juries, but have decreased fatalities"
This is the consensus of opinion
among gridiron coaches of the middle
west. A sufficient number of games
have been played now for the coaches
to get pretty good ida of how the
rules passed for the purpose of de
brutalizing' the game are going to at
feet the men and the general idea is
that there is 8 bigger percentage of
minor accidents than under the old
rules, though the danger OF fatalities
IS greatly decreased.
Reason for this change is obvious.
The new game consists more of open
field running and broken bones and
knee twists come easily and quickly
from hard tackling when running with
the ball. Under the old game the run
ner was sent Into the line like a
piledriver. head foremost, and many
injuries then happened to the head
and neck some OF which proved fatal
Most of this style Of play is done

field running.
After watching the game closely so

that the new rules are beneficial to
the PLAYERS, for the reason that

be broken bones and twisted knee
joints The broken bones will come
largely from being thrown hard in
open field running, when a runner IS
tackled and thrown. The knee twists
will come, I figure, more in the end

used this year"
