plea for national development. Mr..
Rockefeller is quoted, in part. as fol-
lows:

will have to put the brakes on our ma
tional development. Will the individ-
ual strive for success il he knows that
hard won prize is to be snatched from
his fingers at the last by his govern

schools should be taught the need OF
our development"
Referring to a subpoena recently is-

FOOTBALL
Playing the Game Under the New
Rules but I'm Old Style.

The new "Expurgated Football

yesterday, when, in a slaughter OF the
innocents, the strong and heavy team
Of the A. & NJ. College scored seven
to%uchdowns netting SO points against
their lighter opponents from Ran
dolph-Macon College. Virginia.
Since this scoring was done in two
halves of thirty and ten minut S
play respectively, it will be seen hat

The features are that the ground 10

kick the ball and then nave a chance
to recover it after it has touched either
the body of an opponent or the ground
without waiting for it to be touched
by a member of the opposite team, as
heretofore; the forward pass by
which a team while on the offensive

play; and the provision aimed al

quired that there shall be at least six
men in the line at all tines, that none
of the line men except the center and

and that, when a man is drawn back
from the line, he must take a position
before the ball is in play outside OF
the position of END" There are also
numerous restrictions tending to les

The bodies Of these men were re-

work of a band Of So men constituting
a rescue party that work necessarily
through the hours of night and day.
1t was not until 7:30 O'Clock his even
ing that the rescuers reached a point
near st. Paul entry, where the explos-
ion occurred. The work OF rescue was
very slow, as the conditions confront
ing the party were difficult TO sur
mount. Toward the middle Of the
evening the hope was expressed that
all the bodies would be recovered by
midnight.
h authorities anticipated the fear
full extent OF the casualties today by
ordering a carload OF collins and
burial supplies which are now on the

Then the third party was formed and
continued the work. Meantime the
first party had reached another en-
trance TO the mine In safety and sent
word over the mountain announcing
that fact All this time the work of
bratticing the mine necessary for car
rYing on the work OF rescue, was being
effectively carried out. Some confus-
ion was caused in the determination
of the exact number of men entombed
by the fact that when the explosion
occurred the exchange OF shifts was In
progress. added to which was the fact
that a humble Of the men escaped
from the tug Fork entrance. The
scenes around the mine were pltiful.
