The Stage Westerner a Type.

Plays of Western life have been in
fashion in New York during the last
year--an admirable fashion, promising
much for the American drama. for 1t is
ont OF that vast, indefinite West that
the big story is likely to come. The spirit
OF life there is broader, freer. bigger; the
people are franker in their sins of COM
mission and not smuGly conscious of their
virtues: they have a keener comprehen-
sion OF the real things in this headlong
national development of ours. Their feet
rest more firmly on the honest soil; their
heads are nearer the stars.
There have been bad Western dramas.
painfully bad, but even the worst have
in them something free and good. 1t is
true that tho typical stage Westerner,
whom we know as we'll as we knoy our
pockets, whether they are In trousers
or handbag, never existed in the flesh
But then | don't believe that any one
ever saw a ballot-box that looks like an
hourglass cut in two, nor a working
man wearing square paper cap; these
are mere symbols. Just as is the stage
Westerner, of real things that no one
dreams Of questioning. -Eyerybody's

MAY MAKE GAME ON
GR|DIR0N L0NGE R
Not Likely, However, That There
Will Be Any Material Change
9seir7G in New Rules.

When the football rules committee
meets in tho early spring there is little
reason to expect material. or even any.
change OF the rules as they were codified
last year. Though there was much
grumbling from certain quarters early in
the season about the great revolution In
the college sport as II was to be played
under the new rules. it came mostly
through ignorance and through the fear
that the change would be so great as
practically to make new game, one that
would not be acceptable to those most
interested-tie players themselves. How
ever, after the season had got well I'm
der way, Ii was seen that the game was
still football, shorn mainly OF Its br,i-
tally and roughness. changed SO that
science and grit would have an equal
chance with strength and weight. and
giving less opportunity for dirty work"
on the part of those who were addicted to
this means of winning ut any hazard.
The chief result Of the now rules was
that they restored the game to It's per-
nanency in college sports. which had
been pretty roughly shaken, and from
which 1t was threatened to be displaced.
SO great had become the repulsion for
the game as It was formerly played that
immediate and vigorous action on the
part Of its adherents became absolutely
necessary.
One change may be made. perhaps,
when the rules committee meets. 1t has
been suggested that the time OF the game
be restored to thirty-fve-m minute halves.
as 1t Is believed that this might result
in !essening the chances OF so many tie
games.
Last year there were twenty-six ties of
important games. and 1t Is thought that
If the game were made longer many ties
could be avoided. 1t has been sus-
gested also that, II at the end OF n game
of two thlrty-minute halves neither side
has scored. they play until one or the
other Of the teams has scored It is
pointed out that this Is done in baseball,
but It must be remembered that base
ball and football are very different. In
baseball, by reason OF the fact that each
side has the same number OF innings,
the chances are equal for either side
scoring II the game be prolonged more
than nine innings. II football We're
made longer, after neither side had
scored during two thirty-nlnute halves,
and when one side had scored In the
extra-time game, why should not the
game be prolonged further still so as to
allow the other side chance to score?
