K. OF C. SHOWS
GREAT GAINS.
Annual Convention Being Held in
| New Haven Have Added 1903
New Councils.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, June g.
The delegates to the national conven-
ton OF the Knights of Columbus as
sembled yesterday at st. Johns
church, where mass was offered by
Bishop Michael Tierney, of Hartford.
The sermon was preached by the Rev.
Father John j. Mccoy, of Worcester,
and Cardinal Gibbons presided. From
the church the delegates went to the
new national headquarters building,
where the convention was formally
begun. Supreme Knight Edward l..
Hearn presiding.
After welcoming the delegates Mr..
Hearn took up business matters of
the order. He referred to the San
Francisco catastrophe, and to the re-
Spouse of the members of the order
to the appeals of the California breth-
rem for assistance. The direct con
tributions from subordinate councils
at present amoun to $685. 600.
In referring to the memorial SER
vices of the orer, he said that the SER
vice, as at present included in the
ritual contains in the judgment of
many critics, certain Objectionable
characteristics. 1T is the opinion Of
many he said, 'that this memorial
form should be abolished entirely,
and so | recommend to this council,
recommending that in lieu of the me-
mortal service, the order shall set
apart February % in each year as a
day upon which all councils shall
have requiem masses sung for the re-
pose of the souls of departed BROTH
ers."
"Of the progress made during the
year Mr.. Hearn said: I'm territory
where the order has already secured
a footing our growth has not Jagged.
Every jurisdiction has exhibited a
gain, the Oldest state, Connecticut,
having shown a great reawakening
during 1905. Instead of receding we
have made a steady advance. In Can
ada our progress has been very salts
factory" Mr.. Hearn dealt at length
upon the matter of a level system of
rates, and quoted largely from the
report of the actuary and national
physician on the subject.
while the growth in membership
has been very gratifying the increase
in financial strength and integrity
has been even more so. The total
surplus is $1,617,972.75, invested
in first class securities. Since II
last convention our insured mem
bership has increased from 44,6O1
to 52,476, and our associates from
33,737 to 1912, $50. We have added
los new councils, and have planted
the banner of Columbianism in Mex
leo, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ma
Mia and in the maritime provinces"
In conclusion, Mr.. Hearn said that
the growth of the order seemed to
point to the ad~visability Of forming
councils in foreign countries.

PHIL KING TALKS OF
CHANGES IN FOOTBALL

New York, Feb. Phil King, one of the
greatest players ever developed at Princeton,
in a recent discussion as to the work of the
eastern reform committee, expressed the hope
that before the new rules are definitely decided
upon an effort will be made to simplify and
make them uniform. cat present. he says,
'it requires a constant study to memorize them,
and I venture to state that not more than 25
per cent of the players are perfectly familiar
with the, requirements or penalties"
King is in favor Of changing the distance
to be- gained to ten-yards in three downs, pro-
viding some other rule is passed to prevent the
widening of the line Of defense, which would be
the case should the above rule be adopted.
Under the present rule an end run is a difficult
play to put thru.
Make the distance greater he says, "and
we would have a gradual a1engthening of the
defensive line, which would result in a seesaw
kicking game. I am primarily against any rule
that would require stated positions for the de-
fensive team. This would add to the already
onerous duties of the officials. Permitting the
first man who received the ball from the center
to advance at any point in the line would have
a tendency to keep the opposing team from
spreading its line Of defense, thereby making
open plays, such as end runs, long passes and
double passes, easier Of execution. Ten yards
to be gained will certainly be a hard proposition
for any team unless some other rule, such as
above, is passed, which will give a team an
opportunity Of r~egaining the ball enough to make
a score"
