Graduate Coaches at Cornell.

Cornell men and others as well have been
greatly surprised over the sudden depart
ure of Glenn Warner as coach of the Cor
nell eleven and his return to the Carlisle
Indians. The loss of Warner is severe
blow to Cornell, for he was one of the most
ingenious coaches in the country and de-
serves almost the whole credit for putting
athletics at Cornell. and foot ball. in par
ticular on their present solid basis. War
ner took hold of Cornells foot ball machine
when it was completely run down, and in
three years time he made the most ef-
fectiye Cornell ever had. 1t Is a question
whether or not Halliday and Shoelkopf can
do as well, even with the splendid system
and veteran nucleus left by Warner. Cor
nell will inevitably suffer by not having
a bunch Of experienced graduate coaches
near at hand, as is the case at Pennsyl-
vania, Yale, Princeton and Harvard But
the Ithacans have taken hold of the situa-
ton manfully and the experiment deserves
to be successful.

FOOT BALL CHAN G Els
SUGGESTIONS TO BE SUBMITTED
TO THE RULES COMMITTEE.

Now that the foot ball has retired to hi
bernate the pigskin reformer has again
stepped into the limelight and is in his
glory once more. Despite the success which
has greeted the code under which the game
was played in the season just closed the
air is full of suggestions by which the orig
inators believe the play can be improved
The proposed changes run the gamut from
minor to radical, and II all were adopted the
game In 1907 would certainly be weird af-
fair
The suggestions which found general ia
yor and which will be submitted to the
rules committee when 1t officially meets. are
a. follows: The substitution of a fifteen
yard penalty for the loss of a ball when a
forward pass hits the ground The aboli-
ton OF the five-yard rule from center in the
forward pass The allowing of two forward
passes in one scrimmage II the first does
not cross the line of scrimmage. No in
crease in the number of downs In which to
make ten yards. The exchanging of posi-
tons between the linemen and backs. pro-
Viding that such a shift does not produce
mass plays. The abolition OF the rule pro-
hibitlng tackling below the knees. The
keeping OF five men on the side line back
three yards from the gridiron. The increase
In the time of play to thirty-five minute
1laIves and the taking out of time for dis
lance penalties. The discard OF the second
umpire. Tine framing of a rule pro-
tecting the player catching punt. The
giving OF the control of the progress and
condition of the ball to the referee and the
directing of the umpire to Iook after the
players alone.
Other proposed changes by former play
e,s and coaches who are not connected with
the rules committee embrace a wider scope
and include the reducing of the necessary
gain of ten yards in three downs to five
yards inside the ten-yard lnes increasing
the number of downs n he a
rule is retained from three to four or MAX
ing the gain fifteen yards in four downs;
permitting the side which fumbles the ball
TO retain possession of the spheroid at the
spot where they put the ball into play; in
creasing the time OF halves from thirty
minutes to forty minutes; compelling the
player to wear numbers that spectators
can know what men are carrying the ball
preventing all but four players in the back
field from advancing the ball; requiring both
teams TO play seven men on the line at all
times limiting the maximum weight of any
one player to 1SJ pounds, and scores OF
others both with or without merit

THE RACE TO BERMUDA
LEWIS NIXON ON THE CAPABILI-
TIES OF MOTOR BOATS.

NEW YORK, December 22-Mr. Lewis
Nixon, the builder of the first motor boat
to cross the Atlantic, was this week inter
viewed regarding the proposed race from
New York to Be- ada in June next for the
cup offered l New York Yacht Club
member. He said, among other things:
While already prepared to say that the
internal combustion must before long drive
out the steam engine on the score of greater
economy, simplicity and efficiency, such a
race as the New York to Bermuda contest
will turn the attention of the world to this
type of engine and hasten the revolution
The motor boat race from Algiers to Tou-
Ion last year was disastrous failure Had
L been able to spare the time 1 should have
run the Gregory-the boat that crossed the
ocean over the course, she had lust
braved the heaviest gales of an unusually
stormy winter, but needed her and could
not do so.
"A short time ago sent out two motor
boats on a voyage to Santo Domingo. the
boats leaving a few days apart. They went
outside, in the open sea, to Charleston, in
practically the same time. So you can see
that the Bermuda race offers no terrors. I
could not possibly have built steam vessels
to do what these vessels are doing as they
would have been at least twice as large The
rapid increase in the number and also of
motor boats is an excellent gauge of their
worlds record for speed with the Standard
but, of course. this Is not the type of boat
for the Bermuda race The boat cannot
well be designed until the conditions are
fully outlined and If L go in for the race
L shall give no details.
THE lfe-saving service is now installing
motors in their lifeDoats. with tremendous
gain in efficiency. Instead of the crew ex-
hausting their energies in pulling out in the
face of roaring gale, they can go out I'M
der power and save their strength for work
when they reach the wreck. The fishing
boats are now taking the motors up In
great numbers. Many a fisherman to whom
age has brought stiffening joints and wan
ing strength finds in this Wonderful new de-
velopment a means of proonging and in
creasing his earning powers.
so If the cup given by the N. Y. Y. c.
member for the Bermuda race will bring
about the more extended use of the motor
it will hasten a movement which will be of
the greatest value to mankind"

GAME BIRDS FOR KANSAS.
Two Carloads of English Pheasants
to Be Distributed Throughout State.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star. v
Two express cars carrying about 1900
English pheasants passed through Kansas
City yesterday afternoon on the way 10
Pratt. Kan. The birds were imported
direct from England and consigned to the
game warden of Kansas. Dell Travis They
are to be distributed in the various counties
with a view of stocking the state with the
game.
The game warden made a contract with
X. c. Beck of Nckerson, Kan, an importer
of birds, for 1000 pairs OF pheasants, but
about 100 of them died the way to this
country.
1T required eight express cars Of the
English style to carry the birds from Lon
don to Liverpool said the man in charge
of the pheasants. You see there is plenty
of room in these two American cars.
"A few of the birds died on the train
from New York, but most of the 100 died on
the boat. They try to fly in the wooden
crates, striking their heads against the
Stats until stunned. Since leaving New York.
Monday, the birds nave eaten 400 pounds OF
cabbage and more than 500 pounds of grain
feed"
This is the second shipment OF pheasants
to Kansas. About nine months ago 100 OF
the birds were imported from England and
turned loose in the state. The money used
in purchasing the pheasants is takon from
funds derived from the issuing of licenses
to hunters.
The English pheasant is a hybrid be-
tween the ring-necked pheasant and the
pheasant of southern Europe. The plumage
of these birds is brilliant, that Of the males
being especially gorgeous. They reproduce
rapidly, and in their habits of life are SINH
lar to the common barnyard fowl. The his
tory of the pheasant extends back 20 the
days of ancient Rome and in all times the
bird has been popular with sportsmen.
There are sixty species of pheasants
known none of which is native to Amer
lea. The turkey is their closest relative In
this country.
