NEW FOOTBALL RULES
ARE OUT FOR SEASON
FORWARD PASS ALTERED is
IMPORTANT CHANGE
Playing Time Increased-Each Half
VIII Now Go 35 Minutes, In-
stead of 80 as Here's
tofore

The Rugby rules are out Walter Camp of
Yale and Il. K Hall of Dartmouth have been
working on them all summer, and in the opin-
ion of most critics who have seen them tney
have done good job.
The several alterations in the game and
rules are herewith briefly summarized.
An increased length of the game. owing 70
the fact that 1t was found under the new rules
the players were rather less exhausted tnan
in the old game, 1t was determined 10 increase
the playing time another ten minutes by add
ing five minutes to each half.
1t was voted to continue the method OF two
umpires, but to define their duties more spe-
officially SO that one would aid the referee in
decisions down the field. This one Is prac-
tically an assistantaSto the referee, and is
called the field judge. The other. generally
speaking, has control OF the decisions tnat
belong to the lineup.
The ten-yard rule is preserved exactly as
before, that innovation having met with al
most general approval in that 1t made far
less effective anything like mass plays and
forced the open play which every one so mucn
desired.
Forward passing has been altered to GER
tain extent, making 1t less risky to use IL on
the first and second down. Instead of losing
the ball in case the forward pass strikes the
ground before striking player of either side
the same side retains possession OF the ball
by losing Is yards in distance.
Change in Forward Pass
When the forward pass Is essayed on the
third down, however, ana IL strlheS tne srouiiu
without striking a player, or is otherwise
made Illegally, the ball must be surrendered
to the other side exactly as formerly.
In order to cover point upon which there
was some discussion last year. the following
legislation was enacted:
That line man may carry the ball, pro
vided he does not leave his position in the
line until the ball is put In play
It was also determined that the forward
PASS or tripping hurding by the side that
had not put the ball in play in a scrimmage
should be penalized Is yards.
In order to more clearly settle the point
about the rights of side fair catch, IL
was enacted that a man should be regarded as
having an opportunity to make fair catch
when It was possible for him to reach the
ball before 1t should strike the ground.
In order to prevent signaling by one man
and a catch and a run by another, 1t was
Iegislated that II one man of the side made
signals his intention of making a fair catch
and then another of his side. who did not
signal, makes the catch, this player may moi
run with the ball. nor is he entitled to the
privileges coming from fair CATCH bui
the ball must be put down at the point where
he caught 1t for q scrimmage by his side.
All questions of hurdling were put within
the jurisdiction of the referee

"Flnest Bunch Of Freshmen In Instl-
tution's History" Declares Coach
EioImes-Sixty Enrolled
So Far

Speculation regarding the outlook OF
fall athletics at the University of
Southern California, and preseason
championship predictions, are rife
among the supporters and enthusiasts
of Methodist sportdom. The last week
prior to the regulation. opening period
of the university has developed rec
ord d-breaking harvest of new and raw
material, and as q result the university
men foretell additional honors for their
favorites. "The finest bunch of fresh
men in the history of the college,,
Is the verdict of Coach Holmes.
Coach Holmes has received enough
prep" stars to make a respectable
team by themselves. More than sixty
freshmen, a good proportion of whom
appear to be likely material, have
already enrolled in the liberal arts de-
partment, and a still larger delegation
of incoming first-year students is
looked for during the present week
Among them are to be found devotees
of every branch of athletic endeavor.
Although a large number of last
seasons veterans will be missing from
the ranks of the football squad this
year, the influx of new players of
more or less ability will go long way
in the evolution of q team. Included
in the list are several such men as
Miller, Carmichael, Best, Elliott, Mich
olson and other All-Southern stars of
former years. Yeage who was sched-
uled to swell the strength of the Oc-
cidental squad, has decided TO join
forces with Harvey Holmes this year
and will be a prominent candidate for
a line position.
Stars Return
Among the old men who are counted
on to return are Bickford Southern
center for three years, and George
Runyon. Runyon played guard for
several seasons. Captain Haigler is
due to arrive the early part of the
week. Burek, fullback, gladdened the
hearts of the enthusiasts yesterday by
appearing at the registration desk.
Shute is also counted on to return
within q week
On the other hand, nearly all of
last years substitutes will be out of
school this year.
In track activities, the university
will be in fair shape to try for the
championship. The local institution

Despite these conditions some good

These things. however, are ephem-

away. The country at heart is sound
and solid for Astounding prosperity
despite the disorder which temporar-
lily prevails In Wall street and the
interests connected Herewith. The
Manufacturers Record does not by

Tor some years the country at large
has been growing more and more
Independent of Wall street, and every
year better able to meet. dts own To-
cal business problems without regard
to Wall street operations. There is no
need for Mysteries. The boundless
possibilities of country OF almost

DIVORCE SECURED
BY MRS. BURRIL

This morning in the county court
Mrs. Emma C. Burril was granted an
absolute divorce from her husband.
Ezra A. Burril.
She alleged non-support and also
charged that her husband was ad-
dicted to the drink habit. She de-
clared that. although he is able bod
led. he refused to support herself
and three little girls.
Mrs. Burril was given the custo-
dy of the three children. Hazel. Eth
el and Mary, aged 10. 6 and 1. re-
spectively, and the husband must
provide $40 per month for four years
for the support of the wife and chill
dren and all the costs of the suit
are taxed against him.
The couple were married at Fort
Collins June 16, 1895. They have
resided in this county several years.
While denying the charges, Burril
did not fight the suit.

1t is said that all differences be-
tween the company and the machin-
lists have at least been temporarily
adjusted.
Cuts Out One Day.
From New York comes orders that
the Colorado roads shall establish a
five-day week in their shops. and
yesterday the d. & r. G.. put inSo
effect the new arrangement. and the
other roads. Including the Midland,
Will follow.
Although the freight shipments of
this year are heavier than at this
time last year. orders to retrench
wherever possible have been given
by the head officials. The policy of
the railroads appears to be to keep
their entire force of men employed,
but to work them shorter hours.
Some of the labor organizations have
contracts which will force the COM
panies to employ them As hours out
of every week. This will be lived
up to by the railroads, which will
work the men one hour overtime on
three days out of the week. The
men have a work day of nine hours.
So long as they may be able to
work at least As hours per week 1t
will prove perfectly satisfactory to
the shop men.
Only Two Boilcrmakcrs.
Today only two boilermakers re-
ported for duty at the local shops.
The others expected to go on duty
today declined to answer the call un-
til they are advised to do SO by the
head officials of their order. None
of them reported for duty last night.
The following order was bulle-
tined last night but evidently was

VIII Not Discharge Them.
1t is not believed that the railroad
company will discharge any of the
boilermakers who refused TO return
to work last night or this morning.
None of the men reported to the
master mechanic for their time
checks. 1t Is believed that the diff
ferences between the boilermakers
and the company will be settled at
once satisfactory to both sides. Only
very few of the boilermakers and
apprentices are at work today.
The shops, outside of the notable
absence of number of boilermak-
ers, present a normal appearance to-
day.
No Difficulty With Trains.
All the trains are being gotten out
in about the usual shape an time
The fact that all the machinsists ard
boilermakers were out for two days
and might did not cause a great
deal of Inconvenience, though long
er cessation from work would have
resulted In the tie-up of trains here.
Outlook not Threatening.
1t is not believed that there is now
any danger of strike, all differences
will be amicably adjusted.
Last night there were several con-
ferences between General Manager
Ridgway, General Superintendent
Welby, Division Superintendent
Brinkerhoff, other officials of the
road and representatives of the boil
ermakers' and machinists' organiza-
tions.
To Save Money.
1t is said that the railroads are
retrenchihg wherever possible In
view of financial conditions. and the
cutting out of day each week for
a time at least Is expected to mater
tally lessen the expenses OF the rail-
road shops here and at all other
points in the state.
Created Keen Interest.
The general interest in the con-
troversy has been very keen, espec-
tally in the city. All are glad that
there is little danger of any serious
trouble.
