Gophers Not Enthusiastic.

Minnesota football authorities are neither sur
sprlsed nor disheartened by the changes made in
the rules by the American intercollegiate COM
mfttee. DR.. Williams and Dean F. s. Jones
have both expressed the opinion that the game
played under the revised rules will be full Of
interest and free from many of the objectionable
features of the old game tho they are unable
Ito say just how the new rules will work out in
actual playing.
sesI do not think that the modified rules will
lessen interest in the game, said Dr. II. L..
Williams. Some Of the changes, particularly
the rule calling for ten yards in three downs,
81 do not favor personally. The test of this rule
win come in actual play. On the whole feel
strongly that the rules will produce a
game as interesting the old one.
~ s.The features of most vital Importance are
those which permit the kicking side to secure
the ball and allow the forward pass Open play,
With more kicking and fewer mass plays, into
the line, will make the game more interesting
I'D the spectator. The rules as they stand should
certainly have the support of all who hope to
see football preserved as college sport
.sThe ten-yard rule viii give the heavier team
the advantage said Professor Jones, and the
forward pass should work for more open
! game Aside from this, it is hard to say just
how the rules will work out until they are
fried on the field. trust that the revision
committee knew what it was about and that the
new rules will give us greatly improved style
of play.

heavyweight champion of the world, stated yes
terday in an interview that he had not volun-
tarily retired from the ring, but had been
forced to retirement because there was no one
in the world who the public thought had
chance to beat him. He also said that if the
public found a heavyweight who it believed
had a chance with him he would come out of
retirement and defend his title if sufficient
financial inducements were offered -

north. We say "dilapitated," but. it
is even worse than that-it is no
road at all-merely a path. l have
reference to the "hole'' in the road
between the Haas and Hanson farms.
Some time ago had occasion to haul
a load of sand over this path. " In
going over this ditch one OF my horses
was thrown, and lucky for me the
horse stumbled in such a manner as
to escape the front wheel of the
