 Circus day always proves an event which attracts great throngs of people to the center of the city from this sec tion. Yesterdays fine weather was an incentive for the celebration, and the extra cars which were put on in the morning to accommodate the people who went in to see the street parade were well patronized. The schools let out in time to give the children ample opportunity to see the parade. Hun dreds of children from this section were delighted with the pageant. In the evening there was another tide of hu- manity bound for the circus grounds to attend the performance.

effect upon the play. The rules are
rather more complete.
The duties OF the two umpires are
more clearly defined so as to place re-
sponsIbility upon the proper shoulders
and also to further assist the referee.
The alterations which pertain direct
~ to the play itself are: An Increased
length of playing time, making the
halves the old time of thirty-ive min

as in 1906.
The penalty for au Illegal forward
pass and one which strikes the ground
before it strikes player of either
side has been made less severe. In
1906 it meant the loss OF the ball to the
side which made the pass.
In the rules of 1907 on the first and
second down it will mean loss of dis.
tance-fifteen yards onIy-and not the
loss OF the ball.
On the third down, however, the old
rule applies of loss of ball This real
iy is the main point of the difference
between the rules of 1907 and those of
1906.
The ten yard rule stands as it did
last year.

AS there was some discussion last

run from his position in the line and
take the ball from the quarter the rule
has been made specific in this case.
1t will be remembered that the rules
of 1906 provided that the five center
men could not be dropped back into

and some questioned whether a tackle
Or guard could run from his position.
The rule now provides that line

there is.no more important part OF the
