WIN Make short Trip and Discuss
the New Football.


Chicago, Sept. 12.-Walter Camp, dean
of American football and the chief ex-
ponent of the reformed game, Will visit
the middle west about October / to- talk
over the. new rules of the sport with the
coaches, officials selected to govern the
games, and whatever of the fan ele-
ment is willing and not too numerous.
Notification of the veterans plans for
a short western trip with the opening
of the season was received here yes
terday. His visit will be in the nature
of clarifying the doubt that may Turk
in the minds of many about the new
rules, and marks a step towards bridg-
ing over the breach between the west
and the east in 1hletic relations
Camps primary purpose, it is believ-
ed, is to rub the fur the right way and
to aid in creating better sentiment
toward the new code and the new game.
While the east is more or less satisfied
with the new rules, the west, from an
eastern viewpoint, seems to have bafk-
ed more. Coach Yost of Michigan is
pointed out as the chief kicker.
