FOR NEW CUP RACE
Event Which Is to Supercede Gordon
Bennett Contest Will Be Run on
Triangular "Citcuit."

PARIS. Feb. IA &C lrse has now
been selected for the new road race
which the French industry has promoted
to supercede the Gordon Bennett cup
contest
Situated about 100 miles to the south
west of Paris a triangular circuit" of
sixty-five miles has been mapped out,
which is said to be by far the fastest
circuit that has yet been used, there
being one stretch of twenty-one miles
almost dead straight. while there are
no very severe gradients to be tackled.
This will permit of top-gear driving all
the way, and it is very probable that
existing records for long distances will
be bea ten.
The regulations governing this new
race, which will be known as the Grand
Prix, permit for the promoting country
to enter a larger number of ears than
any other country. That France fears

NEW YORK, Feb. 17-Such an i'm

one of those most enthusiastic i'm his
advocacy OF the foreign style of football
Is Dr- George i. Meylan. the director
OF the Columbia Gymnasium. who made

Will Become Popular.
He likens Rugby TO American basket
ball, with tackling added, and recon-
mends it because all the players are al
lowed TO carry the ball. Danger he
says, is minimized by the absence OF the
American stye of serimmage, DIR.
Meylan feels very confident that. once
introduced, Rugby will prove acceptable
and even more popular with the public
at large, as. with the ball constantly
IN sight, every spectator can follow the
plays. In fact. he believes that If Co
lumbia were TO take it up, which he
deems not at all improbable. as well as
several other of the dissatisfied universi-
lies, the regular college football would
have most dangerous rival
Dr. Meylan thus sums up the situation
from his viewpoint: THE game the New
Zealanders showed US eliminates all
dirty play, and the opportunities for it
az well. There is no brutality I'm it
either / feel that 1t is a real sport
such as Americans of the proper constl-
tutions can enjoy, and undoubtedly
would. There is a smaller tendency to
specialization and to professionalism
involved in the playing of the Rugby
game, too.

SIMPLER RULES
WANTED IN GOLF
English Writer Protests
Against Legislation.
BALL MUST BE PLAYED"
This Principle Should Be Revived and
Perplexities Would Disappear-Mr.
Britton Receiving Suggestions.

It may be well for those in the Dis
trict OF Columbia who are interested in
the simplifying Of the rules OF golf 10
read the letter which is reprinted from
1of Illustrated, Of London It reads
as follows:
SIT; 1T Is. perhaps. an encouraging
sign that two members OF the rules OF
Golt committee have recently been led
10 express themselves in favor of a re
turn to the simple rules under which
our Fathers and grandfathers played
the game
no one who has endeavored 10 mas
Ter the present code, or who considers
the endless questions arising on the
rules submitted 10 the rules of golf
committee and the cryptic nature OF
many OF the committees answers, can
doubt that reform Of some sort is
urgently needed.
Departure From Principles.
THE complexity Of the present rules
is due TO a departure from the funda-
mental principles Of the game which
were all. or nearly all that the old
codists concerned themselves with. TO
say nothing Of entirely new offenses
and penalties. The attempt has been
made TO draw distinctions between va
rious shades Of oBenses against statu-
tory laws. and this has been done and
is being done to such an extent that the
original law is fast becoming a dead
letter
What is wanted is a return 10 the
broad and simple rules of the game and
the abandonment. once and for all, of
the hopeless and endless attempt to leg
islate for particular cases or the prin-
ciples OF equity. Let lis revive the
spirit and letter of the rule which says
that n ball must be played wherever il
lies or the hole be given Up. II We do
that, we shall not so often hear golfers
ask the ridiculous question. What do I
DO here?" 1t seems to have been for
gotten that the game Of golf is TO play
the ball with club, no matter where
it gets to. and not 10 invent and invoke
rules TO enable US to evade our golfing
difficulties.
SimpIifaction Needed.
III this rule alone were given its Old
weight. great reform would be ac-
complished and if the whole code were
dealt with in the same spirit the diff
nculties Of the rules committee and
the queries of perplexed correspondents
would disappear automatically. VIII

would be a great help in the right di-
rection if the golfers Of the District
would carefully read the present rules
and write out their suggestions and
send them to him. In this way not
only the members OF clubs in the Dis
trict would be benefited by the study,
but il would bring Washington into
much greater golf prominence The
