of the possibility that Lou Dillon had

The race was one Of the most sensa-

New York, Feb. 10.-Ten yards 10 be
gained in three downs was the principal
football reform tentatively agreed upon
at meeting of the national inter-colleg-
tate football rules committee in this city
today.
This rule. if finally adopted. the foot
Dali experts believe, will do more than
anything else toward opening the game
After today's meeting the secretary Of
the committee, w. T. Held, Jr of Har-
ward explained that none of the rules
suggested either today or at the confer
ence two weeks ago had been finally
adopted.
The committee is framing a set Of
rules covering different points of the
game and when these are all covered
the completed rules then will be voted
upon. The committee adjourned to meet
again Saturday, March 8, in this city
In addition to agreeing upon the ten
yard rule. which exactly doubles the dis
lance to be gained in three downs under
the playing rules of the past several
years, the committee agreed upon the
following:

Had Herrera or Herman won, the public
demand would have been so great that

AIl-Star Basket Ball Team.
Patrons of the game Of basket ball will
regret that the local Y. NJ. G. A has not
a team in shape to give battle to the
Chicago Y. NJ G. A. five scheduled to
meet the b. Y. L. Of Provo next Tuesday
night. This team is touring the west
meeting all corners. and 1t would be a
treat to see them play in this city.
UnQuesuOnably there are enough high
class basket ball men in the CITY to form
an aggregation to extend the Chicago
five to its limit. Early in the season the
Y. NJ. G, A. of this city intended. and
in fact did begin, to form a team which
would probably have been stronger than
any team in the state league After try
ing for some time to schedule games the
idea was dropped, as it was impossible to
get teams strong enough to make it in
teresting for an all-star Salt Lake aggre-
cation.
should the Chicago team defeat the
Provo league five, IL will justly claim
the championship of Utah, while an all
star aggregation of local players, prop
erly coached and trained would probably
have defeated the Chicagoans.

Worked Well Before Race.

Before the race Lou Dillon had worked
close to the record, and she was favorite
in the betting, although Major Delmar
was at the top of his form. In the first
heat Lou Dillon, driven by Mr. Billings,
went well to the half-mile post and then
dropped back, hOpelessly beaten. When
heat it was decided by Aillard Sanders
of the Billings stable. and q veterinary,
that the mare had humps" and Mr.
Billings drove the second heat merely to
give the event the appearance of the
contest, and at the time made no at

frightened during the week when ]. I.

put a baseball team in a state league

Mr.. Dubet made good last season with an
amateur team, there IS every reason to
believe he VIII do even better with a

With a team in Salt Lake, three Of the
necessary clubs for a fOur-team league
are already in sight, and with the addi-

of a meeting when he and Walter D.

not need any stirring up this year. Lob
teTVille has always favored q state league
and in the past has made good in such
an organization. The early request for a
franchise in league this year would in
dictate that the Ogdenites are anxious to

and in fact, is the first town in the state
TO ask for a state league.
1t now remains to secure another town,
and Park City would be the most accept
able in the state. AS yet nothing has
been heard from the Summit county min

thusiasm is not at a high pitch there this
year. The Park fans had a bitter expert

hoped that the opportunity to get in a
