Secretary Reid does not agree with those
who contend that the game would. be still
more improved by keeping the seven forwards
In line until the ball is snapped back; He
thinks the rules as char ged will be a sufficient
check to FREQUENT mass plays. The rule
easier to get through the line than hereto
fore" he said yesterday. and there will be
less need for mass formations to get through
and consequently less use of them. This
aside of the requirement that the line man
must go five yards back. The objection to
mass play lay in the fact that there was great
resistance by the defending side. IT was the
violent contact that made them objection
able. With a weakened resistance there will
be less violence of contact.
Furthermore, the rule that a kicked ball
will weaken the defence still more. Two or
three men will have to play back all OF the
time to guard the ball II it hits the ground.

THE EIGHTH SYMPHONY.
BEETHOVEN'S TO BE PLATED BY
 NEV YORK ORCHESTRA.

MT. Damrosch's Selection for the Clas-
 sic of the Wednesday Performance
 An Analysis of the Composition
 some of Its Unusual Features.
 It is expected of every symphony or chestra worthy of the name that one number on it's concert programme must be a symphony. In this respect MT. Damrosch has not departed from the Well-ordered rule in bis arrangement of the programme for the New Haven Symphony orchestra, which will play in Woolsey hall Wednesday evening, March 21. He has chosen one of the mJst charming of all symphonies thovens Eighth It is a short sym phony, one.of the shortest in the whole range of symphonies, and the shortest Beethoven over wrote. Beethoven said of this composition that he wrote 1t in an unbuttoned" mood. that is, in d free and easy mood There are four short movements in the symphony The III Sb llcA DtGll llhtllCu lO d lGSA-NS OIO- naise. It ends in a diminuendo of pizzi- catos in the strings, and corresponding answers by the wind instruments and
 Iettle drums, with a final repetition of the principal theme in pianissimo G;ords. In the ending Beethoven here introduced to this first movement was unheard of at the time and provoked ,1 ment, the delightful alegretta scher- zand9, was composed on a theme writ ten in honor of Reethoyen's friend Herr Maelzel, the inventor of the metronome, that baleful marker of time to the stu dent of t6e piano. The accompaniment of the melodies In this movement imi- tate throughout the tick-tack, tick-tack of the memtronome. A stately minuet is the dominent thing in the third movement, Towards the end 1t rises to great pomp with trumpet and drum. More controversy has been aroused re- garding the proper tempo of this min uet than about any other single compo- stion of Beethoven. As tempo, within certain limits, may be considered a matter of taste the question will prob ably never be settled MT. Damrosch conducts the minuet at pace which
 might be called the natural one for this quaint old dance form In the closing movement Beethoven introduces for the first time in his symphonic writings kettle drums tuned in the octave from r to F. The whole movement has been likened to military camp with drums rolling, flies playing and the general hustle and activity of the soldiers re- faxed from the sterner duties of the battlefield.
 Seats for the concert go on sale Sat urday morning, March 17, at 10 o'clock In Woolsey hall.
