MAY CHANGE RULES.
Abolition of Forward Pass to Be Advo-
Gated by Yale.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 3.-When
the football rule makers meet this winter
to revise the playing code for the sea-
son Of 1908, they will find Yale advocating
the abolition OF the forward pass, as played
the past fall. At Yale it is believed that
the present rule makes the game too much
OF a chance and that an inferior eleven is
likely to win because of the clause which
allows helter-skelter forward passing on
the first or second down.
Walter Camp, Yale's athletic adviser,
yesterday came out against the present rule
in a statement in the Yale Daily News, in
which he said;
THE American collegian, whether spec
tator or player, does lot care for a game
in which the element of chance is para
mount. He likes to see or play a game
where hard work counts and a game where
definite planning secures well appreciated
results. For this reason he does not care
for the unlimited forward pass, which car
now be tried without severe penalty on
first and second down. Throwing the ball
around unfortunately may be the last
resort of a weak or inferior team, and, as
such. is unsatisfactory.
I'm other respects, like the separation
OF the line Of scrlmmage and the improve
III III tlie StlleEdl COuuuCL anu Sp1rt OF
the play, the rules have fully justified
themselves and have rendered the game
more popular than ever. When the new
rules were first introduced two years ago
there were many who commended that 1t
was too much to require of any team tina.
1t gain ten yards in three downs, and the
prediction was that no score games would
put an end TO the ten-yard rule in short
order. The contrary has proved frua and
already there are those who would like
to see the forward ass more restricted,
relying upon it as it was a year ago, or
even eliminating it altogether and keeping
the on-side kick and the ten-yard rule.
What was needed in the game was pri-
marily TO lessen value of possession of the
ball, and this the ten-yard rule achieved.
with its Introduction there went out
of the game all The close hammering mess
plays. which were good for two or three
yards on a down and no more"

BURNS ROCKS MOIR TO
SLEEP IN TEN ROUNDS
RETAINS
BILLIARD TITLE.

CHICAGO. Dee. 3.-"Jake" Schaeffer re-
tanned his title as champion at ISL balk-
line billiards by defeating George Sutton
here last night by 500 to 1856.
The match was slow and long-drawn out,
but was close enough to keep the spectators
Interested. Schaefer averaged only a frac-
ton of a point more Than his opponent,
but seemed better able to collect the balls
for long runs han Sutton. The champion
scored IS in the twcnty-seventh inning
and 81 in the thirty-fourth while the larg-
est inning of Sutton was 81 in the fifteenth,
The challenger took ar early lead over
schaefer and seemed about to repeat his
recent victory over Schaefer when he de-
feated him n n match for 49, champion
ship. Successive runs Of 81 and 80 in the
fifth and sixth innings gave Sutton a lead
which he maintained until Schaefer
counted rs in the eighth inning. Schaefer
then had 1856 to Sutton's 131, but the latter
again went ahead in the next attempt,
counting 81 points by some brilliant open
table work.
The challenger increased his lead grad
ually. and after twenty-four innings was
so points to the good. A few minutes later,
however. schaefer got control of the balls,
and by executing all sorts of shots, some
OF them daring IL the extreme, ran IS
points and assumed the lead, which Sutton
tried Vainly to overcome. Steady play by
the challenger kept Sehaefer going at top
speed. and he made up for some erratic
misses by runs of 81 and Al, drawing out
of LANCER just when Sutton seemed most
likely to overtake him. Scores;

BIC" LEAGUES
MEET NEXT
WEEK
Nationals to Gather at New
York and American Body
in Chicago.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Both of the major
baseball leagues will hold meetings next
week. The American League will convene
in Chicago on December II, while the Ma
tional League will meet in this city at the
Waldorf on the same date.
It is believed that a number of important
trades will be made among the National
League clubs, as the American League
clubs have already completed several big
deals. The New York Nationals, ii is said
will try to make trades with Cincinnati
and st. Louis with the idea of bringing
Pitcher Kreger, Outfielder Mitchell and
Second Baseman Higgins to the pole
grounds.
But before such trades can be made II
is said that Manager McGraw will have
to give up B~resnahan, Browne. Bowerman
and McGinnity, together with a cash
bonus, which is highly improbable.
The Boston Nationals want to trade of
Fred Tenney, the veteran first baseman
but nothing will be done until it is def.
nitely known whether Joe Kelley will sign
a Boston contract or not. New York
Pittsburg and Philadelphia, are said to be
after Tenney.
Tn Cincinnati club wants a manager
to fill Ned Hanlon's shoes, and Carry
Hermann is said to be after Bresnahan
The st. Louis club is anxious to secure
Bowerman and McGinnity, while the Phil.
adelphia club is reported to be willing t.
make a deal for Dan Mccain. The Chi.
cago and Brooklyn clubs will stand pat
from present Indications.
In the American League it is understood
that Stovall, Of Cleveland, and Unglaub
of Boston, are on the market. The New
York Americans will make no more deal,
for new players, as Manager Griffith think.

Bowler Puts Up
Great Fight, Losing Only
After Il Games.

Lee r. johns n Jimmy Smith, who
fought it out for the championship Of the
Greater New York and i~ntercity Individual
bowling tournament last season, met in
the opening series of that competition last
night on the Amphion alleys, New York.
Smith won, but he was given a hard
squeeze. It required twelve games TO set
lie the issue. The champion captured six,
the Newark man five and one resulted in
a tie.
Johns bad the series five games to two
in his favor at one stage, but Smith was
there with a grandstand finish, winning
the last four games. A delegation Of local
sports witnessed the match and a pile Of
g~reenbacks changed hands on the result.
Smith ever offered to wager that Johns
would not get three games in the string.
1t was on that bet that the locals
cashed in.

WELL-PLAYED GAME.
Dominican Juniors Dispose of New York
Basketball Five.

Last night at Dominican Hall the Domin-
lean junior basketball five again displayed
It's skill by defeating the crack Boys
Club team, of New York, by a score OF
~ to 20. The Boys Club five is composed
of a fast set of young players, and from
what they showed last night, they can de-
liver the goods. The victory by the home
five was appreciated by all who witnessed
it. 1t necessitated the hardest kind Of
work by the home five. however, to de-
feat this crack Boys Club team. The able
manner in which the visitors repealed the
fierce attacks Of the "Doms' was amazing
and evoked cheering from the spectators.
The cleverness of the players, the speed
with which the ball was dribbled from one
end of the hall to the other, the accurate
passing of the ball, and then the beauti-
full goal shooting was worth while seeing.
The many collisions the players e%ncount-
cred in trying to capture the ball were
amusing. Right from the start it was a
hair-raising contest. First one side would
shoot a basket, then another. but the home
five became the more aggressive and Ii was
a continuous scrap throughout. The team
work displayed by both fves was ex-
During the first period the home five
found the basket to more advantage than
the visitors, scoring is points to the Boys
Club 0. In this half a beautiful passing
game on the part of the "Doms' was
exhibited.
In the second period it was a different
story. The visitors were somewhat re-
freshed by the rest and played the home
five to a standstill. They scored 20 points
to the Dominicans, ~. Conlon and G..

An information was sworn out Mon
day before Justice T. A. Stevenson, of
Jefferson township, charging W. G.
Guptill with intent to murder. The
trouble grew out of the tresspassing of
hogs owned by Guptill upon the premi-
ses of E. @. Cass and the information
was sworn to by Mrs. Cass, her husband
being confined to the house with a gun
shot in his thigh. The story in brief as
told by Cass is that he was out in the
corn field for the purpose of driving
hogs owned by Guptill out of the field
and as he stopped to pick up an ear
of corn he was shot through the thigh
'bysa bullet from gun in the hands of
Guptill. The bullet passed clear through
