football men as a rule look at II from

The prospect Of having the West Point

Game Will Improve.
There is no doubt that football IS
going to improve. and the object Of the
rules committee is undoubtedly 20 make
viii be no match for science and gen
eralship and agility and ability. This
was isr object two years ago when the
forward pass and On-side kick came into
the game through this mecfun. and It
IS an object worthy to follow. We want
a game Jhat will eliminate rough play
and be based on headworIS and team
work. II is hardly natural that, with
such vide. sweeping changes, perfection
could be obtained in two years. The
new style OF game viii have TO 90
through several years of study and evo.
luton before It IS satisfactory-frst to
the players and. secondly. to the public.
The game as it is played today is a
little fiercer and more dangerous than
it was before the changes Of the past
two years. It stands TO reason that open
play is more risky. yet the public has
demanded this open play, so IL can
understand what is going on The for
ward pass opens up more chance for
injury than any other legislation, and

Gals do their duty.
Source of Injuries
In receiving a forward pass a player
must turn while running to catch II
and, while doing 50, expose his back to
his opponent, receiving a tackle when
he is not expecting II. It is this which
causes injuries-5eing thrown or struck
by an opponent when not expecting a
tackle. 1t seems to require a little more
| nerve to play football today than It did

With the 1907 football season a thing

colleges in that section Of the country.

MUST PRINT THE EVIDENCE
New Rule of Supreme Court Which
Affects Lawyers

Lawyers throughout the state will be
interested in a new rule promulgated
today by the Kansas supreme court
which requires every case fled with the
court after July l. 1907. to be accom-
panied with a printed abstract Of the
testimony.
Although not specifically provided in
the new rule. it is the intention that
the practice Of having copies Of the rec
ord made by the copyists at the su-
preme court office will be abandoned.
This VIII mean a large saving in the
expense, which will be partially offset
by the expense Of the printed abstract.
The printing of the abstract becomes
part Of the costs in the case.
The printed abstract does not dis
pense with the fling of a complete
transcript of evidence. 1t simply in
sures Iitigants that the court will not
overlook any important feature of the
testimony.
The following is the rule in exactly
the form prepared by the court:
The plaintiff in error or appellant
shall prepare printed abstract OF the
. record which shall reproduce such por-
lions thereof as il is necessary to read
in order 10 arrive at a full understand
ing Of the questions presented for re-
view, SO that no examination Of the
court If the defendant in error. or
appellee shall claim that such abstract

Is inaccurate, he shall furnish a coun-
ter abstract correcting any such orafs-
sions or inaccuracies. A party need not
include IN his abstract all the evidence
In order to support a claim on his part
that Il does not show or tend to show
certain fact. but when such a quas-
ton is presented the adverse party
shall present so much of the evidence
as he claims to have that effect The
abstract shall state only the substance
of those parts OF the record the bearing
of which upon the case can be clearly
shown in this manner; such as are
purely formal or otherwise iumateria
shall be omitted altogether; but the QUO
tationS must be made with verbal ac-
curacy whenever the decision Of any
