PLENTY OF HUNTERS
FOR LONDON HUNTSMEN

LONDON. Dec. The fox hunting
season. now beginning. promises as well
as ever. There are plenty of foxes in
nearly every district. and rather more
than Is usual at this date in some coun-
tries.
The reason for this state of things is.
To a great extent due to the fact that.
owing TO the dry weather, cub hunting
has been a matter OF some difficultV
this autumn in the case OF number of
packs, and kills have been less frequent
IN consequence, But rain having come
at last the only thing now needful 10 a
prosperous season is a moderately open
winter. with as little snow and fog as
possible.

Rule and Pictures Disagree.

The rule reads as follows:
When swapping the bail back. the
snapper-back must be Onside, except
for his head. and THE hand or foot
used IN swapping the ball"
Last year the rule was the same. but
as tho side with the ball was allowed
the length OF the BAN. a center could
legally have both hands on Il so long
as both hands did not extend over the
far end OF the ball.
When the new rules were adopted
and the neutral zone which compels
each team 10 remain at It's own end
Of the ball until the scrimmage starts,
was adopted. no change was made lin

Western Was Foxy.

When Tom Kirby, the Western High
coach. made the discovery the fact was
carefully covered and, although the
center was coached for over month to
get the ban back with one hand, the
reason for the change was not even
made known 10 the members Of The
west end squad until two days before
the Central game. AS Westerns center
became quite proficient in onc-hand
passing and succeeded in swapping the
ball as well with one hand as he had
with two earlier in the season, il was
expected that the team would have a big
advantage over its rivals, Wno would
be forced to change their style entire
" without an opportunity 20 practice.
When the rule was called to the atten-
ton OF the officials they were greatly
surprised that the question had never
