CAMP ON TIE
FORWARD PASS

New Haven, Conn, Dec 3.--Walter
Camp yesterday said that the new foot
ball rules, after a second seasons trial,
have justified themselves, with the ex-
ception perhaps, OF the one created last
year, which gives great freedom In the
use or the forward pass Upon this II ap-
pears some restriction ought TO be placed
before next year.
Mr. Camp said: when the new rules
were first introduced two years ago there
were many who contended that IL was
too much 10 require of any team that
they should gain ten yards In three downs
and the prediction was that 'no-score'
games would put an end to the l0-yard
proved true, and already there are those
who would like TO see the forward pass
more restricted. relying upon II as IL was
a year ago. or even eliminating II alto
gether and keeping the outside kick and
10-yard line.
what was needed in the game was
primarily TO lessen the value OF possess
sion OF the ball, and this the 10-yard rule
achieved. With its Introduction there
went out all the close hammering mass
plays, which were good for two or three
yards on down, but no more. The AM
erican collegian. whether player or spec
tator. does not care for a game in which
the element of chance Is paramount. He
likes to see or play a game where hard
work counts and game where definite
planning secures "A well-appreciated re-
suit. For this reason he does not care
for the unlimited forward pass. which
can now be tried without severe penalty
on first and second downs.
Throwing the ball around indiscrimi-
nately may be the last resort of a weak
or inferior team, and as such is unsat-
isfactory. In other respects, like the
separation OF the line OF scrimmage and
the Improvement in the general conduct
and spirit OF the play. the rules have
fully justified themselves, and have rem
dered the game more popular than ever"

WIGGLESWORTH
GOOD LUCK OMEN
Mt. Carmel, Pa, Girl Insisted
on Being Married in
Health Office

Because a friend from Quakertown,
Pa. was married here about a year
ago, in the office of Secretary Wiggles-
worth of the Board Of Health. and was
lucky. Miss Annie quinn. aged is
years. of Mt. Carmel. Pa. would not
be married anywhere else but in Mr..
Wigglesworth's office, so the only
thing that remained for the benedict
to-be at that time. for since. he has
become one in fact. was TO bring his
bride to Wilmington To have the
nupital ceremony performed, and this
he did to-day.
The groom. Robert j. Manney. also
of Mt. Carmel. is nearly twenty years
Of age. and he not only brought the
woman Of his choice with him. but the
minister to tie the nupital knot. The
latter was the Rev. ]. 6. Shireman #
Mt Carmel. and he performed the
ceremony in the-presence of Mr.. Wig
ellsworth and the latter's assistant,
Miss Clara I. Mason.
AS Mr.. Wigglesworth had never seen
either the bride or the groom before,
he was naturally curious 10 know why
the bride insisted on being married in
this office. The Rev. Mr. Shireman
told MIN that the young woman abso.
lutely refused to be married elsewhere
and no amount of persuasion would
move her. Finally thet rip to Will
mington was arranged and she was
happy.
''The reason wanted to be married
in your office" said the bride to Mr.
Wigglesworth. "is because about a
year ago I had girl friend married
right here in this very same room and
she has been happy ever since. I then
had a desire to be married here. as
1 thought it would mean good luck"
The young woman had her wish
gratifed, and after the ceremony was
performed she was probably the hap
piest bride seen in this city for some
time. Preacher and the newly mar
ried couple left after thanking Mr.
Wigglesworth for taking up his time
and returned to Mt. Carmel
Magistrate Broman issued a marri-
age license to-day to Stephen Cooper
and Miss Stella Cooper. both of Phua-
delphia. but where the couple were
married could not be learned They
left the magistrates office presumably
to go to the City Hall. they having
asked to be directed to the mayors
office. When that official was seen al
noon. however. he said he had not seer

Partisanship displayed itself between
members OF the Levy Court this morn
ing following a decision by the court
to pay printers s. for printing the lists
Of registered voters in each Of the 11s
districts of the county. Heretofore
Democratic Levy Courts have pgid as
much as $40 for printing each list. but

duced the price TO IS. this being the
price paid last year. The Republican
members Of the court this morning OBJ
jected TO paying So for each list this

should be broken uD by the court plae-
ing such a charge on the lists as would
