REBELS SHOT WITHOUT TRIAL
Summary Executions Are the Order of
thu Day in Moscow.

Moscow, Jan. 3.-According to the
stories in circulation here the number
of summary executions of revolution
lists is large. Mr.. Smith, an Englishman
and proprietor of the Machine Works

messed number of executions. When
the "Drujini'' revolutionary garrison
of the sugar factory surrendered, the
officer in command of the regular
troops picked out the victims who were
marched 20 PAGES in front of the firing
squad, received volley and dropped
without a struggle. Mr.. Smith even
says he thinks he recognized Governor
General Doubassoff among those pres
ent. 1t is said that the victims We're
handed over to a firing squad with the
command take them to the river"
which was tantamount to a sentence
and warrant for their execution.
The clearing of the Riazian line so
far as Lubertzi which fell principally
on the Semionovsky Regiment was at
tended by much bloodshed. Three lead
ers. Orloffski, SemiOnovsky and An
drciff, were captured and shot and over
800 persons are reported to have been
killed or wounded
A newspaper reports that n number
of "Drujinists' We're placed in collins

FOOTBALL NOTES.

Boston Journal: Eastern football

dirtier' in every way than the game
as played in the West. / have had a
years experience both East and West,
and l am certain that the game is
much cleaner i'll every particular in the
West" This is the verdict of Gov"
Yates. former University of Chicago
athlete and now a student at Swarth-
more. He played left end on the
Swarthmore team this fall.
Boston Journal: Football is not the
only sport that has developed too much
rOuGhness. Ice hockey even among
amateur teams gives promise OF put
ting roller polo of the old days to
shame. Not anything serious has oc-
Cured in our local games. but in New
York open smuggling and the toughest
kind of tactics are the rule. A recent
contest between Portage Lake and
Calumet is said to have been the
means of sending several of the con-
testants to the hospital. while the po-
lice finally arrested player, who had
been ruled off for smuggling. as he was
about to strike the referee. Free
fights sometimes take place in games
in the West and the intense rivalry of
Canadian teams has often produced
the toughest kind of games. The sport
needs a repressing hand.
Paul J. Dashiell. chairman of the in
tercollegiate football rules committee
defends that body in this emphatic
manner: THE public seems to be
laboring under grave misunderstood
ing of the nature and scope OF the
committee. The idea is prevalent that
we are a sef-appointed and irrespon-
sible body and that We have gratuit-
ously undertaken to dictate to all the
colleges how they shall play the gam.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. Every member of the commit
tee is the official delegate of his insti-
tuition. speaks for no one else and is
responsible to it alone. The commit
tee has never made any pretense of
being a general governing body for
football: that it has been accepted as
such is n tribute to the wisdom of its
rulings, but it has never assumed such
a position. We speak only for our in
situations, and il others follow our
lead they do so entirely voluntarily
The committee has been subjected to
much harsh and undeserved criticism
on this score. 1t is not only not self
appointed. but each member has to re-
port back for confirmation to his col
lege before any proposed change can
be ratified by him. The committee ex-
lists solely for the purpose Of arranging
and modifying rules for seven institu-
tions it represents: Yale. Harvard
