Voyage Around the Horn, Tells
a Wonderful Story In Article
Written Especially for This
Newspaper of His Experience
When Shot and Shell Were
Christmas Presents-His Fleet
Will Have Two Christmases This
Year.
Copyrighted, 1907, by the News
paper Enterprise Association.)
On Christmas morning, as I view
with pride from my deck the gran
deur or the ocean, | think God that
He made three times as much water
as land.
Every old seadog will join me in
this. The sea is his home; he loves
it as the farmer loves his broad
acres. Apart from it he is restless
and dissatisfied, but with voyage
of weeks ahead of him he is as
happy as a clam at high tide.
No true sailor would exchange his
Christmas holiday at sea for one on
shore 1t would be like Thanks
giving dinner without the turkey.
OF Is Christmases spent at sea
the one which rises before me most
vivialy is that of 1865, when the
federal forces, assisted by the gun
boat fleet, were trying to capture
Fort Fisher.
That Christmas was hummer.
The only presents we received, and
they came fast and furious, were
solid shot and shell from the guns
of the enemy. Even this didn't
destroy our sense of humor.
The boys would write on each
solid shot or shell before placing
them in the guns, presented by"
and add the name of whatever YES
sci they happened to be on. Mighty
few shell hurled at the fort that day
lacked this Christmas greeting. All
the gunners caught the spirit of the
grim jest, for the fighting line is no
place for dyspeptlcs with long
faces.
Despite the excitement Of the

the mastheads of all the ships
trimmed with Christmas green's,
even though the sailors had to risk
their lives in going ashore to get
them, and you can bet the sentl-
ment of the day was not lost.
This year Santa Clause will fol-
low the feet. He will show up just
as warmly if We are crossing the
equator as he would be were we
skirting the coast Of Labrador.
Santa Claus has anticipated our
12,O00-mile trip this year and fur
nished in advance the pick of his
best. On board the supply vessels
will be thousands of packages con-
tanning every imaginable sort OF
Christmas gift from a whiskey flask
to a smoking jacket, each package
labeled Don't open until Christ
mas"
Along with these gifts ne Is send
ing thousands of yards of green
with which to decorate the mast
heads of the 16 battleships. 1t would
be difficult to imagine more beau
tiful and picturesque sight on
Christmas morning than these ships
lined up, with the sailors swarm

on his feet Hurding in the line is jump ing over or attempting to jump over a player on the line of scrimmage, with the feet or knees foremost within a distance of five yards on either side of the point where the ball is put in play.
 There must always be at least six men of the side in possession of the ball on the line of scrimmage. and if only six are on the line one of those not on the line must have both feet outside the outside foot Of the player on the end of the line.
 Furthermore, no player of those ordi- narily occupying the position of center. guard or tackle-that is, the five middle players of the line-may drop back from the line of scrimmage on the offense. unless he goes back at least five yards and another player takes his place on the line.
 The most radical of all changes made. however. has been the introduction of the forward pass. the rule for this reading as follows:
 "one forward pass shall be allowed to each scrimmage, provided such pass be made by a player who was behind the iD play, and provided the ball, after being passed forward. does not touch the ground before being touched by a player of either side.''
 The necessary distance to be gained in three downs has been doubled-that Is,
 
 gain ten yards in three downs instead of five, as formerly. This Is the most direct legislation against mass plays.
 The rather indefinite expression of charging has been changed to start ing forward beyond the restraining line'' fin all cases throughout the rules.
 The rule about foul play has been am- plihed and specifically covers striking with the fist or elbow, kneeing, kicking. meeting with the knee by any player or striking with the locked hands by line men when they are breaking through. Furthermore. a player on defense is for bldden to strike in the face with the heel of the hand an opponent who is carrying the ball. These offenses are punishable not only by disqualification of the player. but also the loss by the offending team of half the distance to it's own goal line
 Tripping and tackling the runner when clearly out of bounds. piling up on a player after the referee has declared the ball dead, hurdling and other acts of un- necessary roughness are punishable by a five yard loss. Unsportsmanlike conduct or abusive or insulting language to oppo- nents or officials Is punishable by suspen- sion for the remainder of the game.
 It is provided that tackler who has fairly tackled by a runner above the knee shall not be penalized If he slides down below the knee after making the tackle.
 All the officials are expected to penalize ofIenses enumerated under unnecessary roughness, unsportsmanlike conduct and disqualification. On penalties that would carry the ball to or across the goal line. where formerly the distance has been halved, the ball will now be placed at the one yard line.

The Ten Yard Gain Rnke Makss ths Deadly Mass
 Pieys IneJJtefipe.

The much talked of football rules for 1906 are out, and players. coachers and captains are now deep in the study of them. The great question Is, of course, how to frame up effective plays that will be permissible under the new regulations.
 The most important of the new rules and definitions are as follows:
 The officials of the game shall be a referee. two umpires and linesman. It Is, however, allowable to dispense with the second umpire at the discretion of the two institutions involved.
 The length of the game has been short ened by making the two halves each thirty minutes in length.
 The line of scrimmage for each side is an imaginary line parallel to the goal line and passing through that point of the ball nearest the sides own goal line. It will be noted that there are thus two lines of scrimmage. one for each team. N and the two teams are thus separated the length of the ball.
 It has also been provided that a player to be on the line of scrimmage must have both hands or both feet up to or within one foot of this line. or he must have one foot and the opposite hand up to or with in one foot of 1t. He must also stand with both feet outside the outside foot of the player next to him. unless he be one of the two men standing on either side of the snapper back. in which case he may lock legs with the snapper back.
 Tripping is specifically defined as fol- lows:
 "A player trips another player when he obstructs him below the knee with that part of his leg that Is below the knee"
 Hurdling is defined and forbidden. Hur- dling fin the open is Jumping or attempt ing to jump over an opponent who is still

 PHOENIX. Feb. T.-Leayins Pres colt November 1, for Tucson with the expressed intention of stopping owe: in Phoenix during the fair Harry and Earl Linn have never since been seen or heard from.
 Their psasnt at firSl became came alarmed by the failure of their boys to write them. and now they are distracted. believing that the long si- lence of three months must be due to the fact that the lads are beyong com municating with them.
 They fear that the two boys have met with foul play and the police of Prescott, Tucson, Bisbee. Phoenix anG other ciries of the territory we're asked to work ou the case.
 Chief of Police Kinney states that the case was brought to bis atten. ton some time ago and he was aDie to learn that the boys had spent the week here when tie territorial faIi was being held and he is quite sure that they continued their Io1rney south after that.
 He reported the facts as he found them tn the relatives In Prescott and friends in Phoenix but the parents of the boys are 10th to believe they would remain silent so long unless something had happened to them Kinney thinks they have stopped in some mining camp south of Phoenix and are at work.
 Charles Ice Of this city Is interested in tho search for the boys. It was he who took up the matter with Kin ney and the parents being still satis- fiad that all iS mt well with the lads have now written the police in nearly every town in the southern part of the territory. The press has taken up the matter and if the boys are in the land of the living there is a strong likelihood that they will be brought to light shortly.
