rules committee and the newly-organized conf
mittee appointed by the sixty colleges thruout
the land who were dissatisfied with the game
of football as played now agreed to amalsamate
last night. and held joint session at the Hotel
Netherlands, where they elected officers for the
ensuing year.
This amalgamation eventually means radical
change in the game played now, as every
one of the new committee has been instructed to
insist on a change that eliminates the roughness
from the game.
Dr. H. A. Babbot of Haverford, F. n. Curtis
of the University of Texas. Lieutenant Charles
Dalny of West Point and C. X. Hall of Dart
mouth, all of the new committee, met early In
the evening at the Murray Hill hotel.
Gopher Was Absent.
Dr. H. L. Williams of Minnesota and Pro-
fessor ]. T. Lees of Nebraska were absent.
Babbot for his committee, telephoned to the
old committee who were in session at the Hotel
Netherland and suggested amalgamation.
His proposition that there be chosen three
of the old and two Of the new committee TO
make up the amalgamated committee. The OLD
committee would not agree to this plan. Then
the new committee suggested combination OF
nine members. AS this was not satisfactory to
| the older association, Walter Camp, chairman
of the latter and Yales representative. invited
| all the newcomers to the ranks of the rulemakers
] to join the veterans at the Hotel Netherland
! and discuss all proposals.
There they wrangled jointly and separately
over the details of combined organization for
more than an hour before they came to de.
cision Alonzo A. Stagg Of the University OF
Chicago was unable to join the old COMMITTEES
| because of the death of President Harper OF Inc
| Chicago university.
William T.. Reid Of Harvard, who was origi'
nally on the older body, and who had been In
structed to switch over to the new, went to the
Murray Hill early in the evening and sent up
| his card to DAILY who formerly played on the
Harvard varsity. DAILY went into conference
with his committee, and. altho the action was
| supplementary, those in session had nc
right to do so, they accepted Reid as one OF
their members and he went to the New Meth

made the subject of an investigation by the ma

WaddelIs antics. and cannot reconcile them
selves to the feeling prevalent among supporters
Of the American league in Philadelphia that his
innocent peculiarites should cover his behavior
on that occasion
There was something 81 spiciouA about wad-

quired his services most, 1t is said, and much

known that Mack permitted Rube to do about as
he pleased last season, and they hold him in a
