Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 26.-The American
intercollegiate foot ball rules committee to-
day wound up its two-day session in the
Murray Hill Hotel. making among others
three highly important additions to the
body of regulations for the game, but in
the main changing the game very little
The stand-pat spirit was predominant and
the committee In a way Endorsed its own
work of last year.
The committee will meet at some future
time, when the rules have been codified.
set and printed, also that they can see their
work In type. At that time, IL there are no
objections, the rules will be adopted for
mally.
Edward K. Hall of Dartmouth. the secre-
tary of the committee, In announcing the
changes made. put special stress on three
points. In the order in which he set them
forth they were alternating the penalty for
an illegal forward pass. SO that the side
making 1t instead of loI ing the ball gets
a penalty of fifteen yards on the first and
second downs. but retain the pigskin:
lengthening the game from thirty minute
halves to thirty-five-minute halves and max
ing 1t obligatory to have two umpires. one
of whom Is to have such special duties
that he absorbs part Of the functions of the
referee. There were other changes, how
ever, of varying import.
There was an echo of the contention
raised by Fielding H. Yost. the Michigan
foot ball coach, before the Pennsylvania
Michigan foot ball game last fall, that
under the rules no lineman except the end
had a right to run from behind the line or
from his place in the line. Pennsylvania
contended that Yost was wrong. Whatever
may have been the rights Of the case, the
rules committee yesterday clarified the rule
beyond all question:.
"A lineman is permitted to carry the ball
provided he does not leave his position I'm
the line until after the ball is put In play
was the language used. a,sa.i n
This may be considered a. justifying

On next Wednesday night c. and L.-Treas-
ury Is slated TO meet State-Justice, while
Agriculture will try to put q stop to In
terior's winning streak
Capt. Walker Of Interior found he had
men ito burn" when he counted noses for
the match with State-Justice last Wednes-
day night. While the regulations call for
but six boards, Interior had enough players
on hand to man several more If necessary.
Byler, however, gave way to Boykin "a
recent recruit), and several more Interior
men stood by and watched their team
mates whitewash the State-Justice combi-
nation.
Sournin had a big match on with Fox. the
champion of the Manhattan Chess Club of
New York city, and this game, which lasted
long after the departmental series, was
probably the center of attraction. Sournin
won cleverly, after several hours Of hard
play, and the next game was arranged to
take place tomorrow night.
In the "RuSck-out' tournament last Mon
day night departmental players made quite
showing, particularly Pratt Of Interior,
struggle. The victory was finally won by
Lavender of the Washington Chess Club,
Mr.. Fox withdrawing after his defeat of
Pratt.
The players had but fifteen seconds in
which to move piece, two complete moves
thus consuming but one minute. At this
rate the average game of forty moves would
require but twenty minutes to play. Moth
ing slow about this brand of chess.
Mr.. Dyar, the crack player Of last sea-
sons Agricultural team, has Joined the
consular service as an attache OF the Amer
lean consulate at Berlin. Mr.. Dyar is a
bright young man as well as good chess
player and his career abroad will be watch
ed with interest by his many friends in
this city.
Lieut.. Whipple Of the War champions
is also at present in Europe, and may not
play here this season.

In the individual tourney Walker still
leads, having won three games, while his
losses are represented by goose egg.
Pratt Glass c. has played in eight games,
however, losing only two; SO, taking the
number Of games played into consideration,
he is by no means q bad second to Walker
He has but seven more games to play in
order to finish his quota.
