New Foot Rules.

Important changes in the rule gov.
erning the forward pass play, which
prove OF advantage to teams, and other
football legislation, were made by the
intercollegiate football rules commit.
tee, which concluded it's session in New
York recently.
Inc new rule on the play of the
forward pass covers the illegal touch
ing of the ball. When illegally touch
ed the side making the illegal play
loses the ball to it's opponents on the
spot from which the pass was made.
According to the new rule only the
man of the passer's side who first legal
ly touched the ball may hereafter
take it until it has been touched by an
opponent. If the forward is legally
touched and then free and is then
touched by another player of the pass
er's side, the ball goes to the oppo-
nents at the spot where touched
The committee considered the ques-
ton of defensive tactics in connection
with the forward pass and it was de-
cided that while the forward pass is
in the air, the players of the defensive
side may not use their hands or arms
on their opponents except to push
them out of the way to get at the ball.
In order to eliminate tackling it is pro-
vided that the players of the side
making the forward pass, who are elig-
ible to receive the pass, may use their
hands and arms just the same way
that players do down under the kick.
Another rule was passed making the
intermission between the halves of the
game Is minutes. A delay of two min
utes beyond that time gives the ball
to the field, which may then place the
ball on the 30-yard line of the offend
ing eleven.
Another rule adopted provides that
all forfeited games hereafter are to
score as one to nothing.
The committee passed rule that all
penalties, except in the case of man
disqualified, may be declined by the Of
Tending SIDE
In the future the field judge, will act
as timer instead of the linesman.

DON'T LOOK FOR War

BASSADOR TO U.S..
Takahlra Says It Would Be the Most
"Inhuman Event in Worlds History
and Too HeIIish to Be Thought of"
All Newspaper TaIk-He Has
Been Away TWO Years.

New York, Feb 1S.-Declaring that
war between the United States and
Japan would be the most ''inhuman
event in the worlds history" and was
too hellish" to be thought Of, Baron
Kogoro Takahira, the new Japanese
ambassador to Washington, said Sun
day, upon landing in New York from
the steamer Etruria, that the Japanese
knew absolutely nothing of a break in
the cordial relations which have been
historic between the two nations. Talk
of war, Baron Takahira declared with
much emphasis, was utterly unintel-
ligible to him, unless, as some one had
suggested, it was spread broadcast to
serve the commercial ends of some
newspapers. The new ambassador
said there might be some matters pend
ing in Washington which would re-
quire his attention, but they were not
serious. AS to the cruise of the Amer
lean fleet to the Pacific ocean, he re-
garded it purely as a naval maneuver
on grand scale, designed to show to
the world at large that America has a
wonderful naval power which can be
dispatched anywhere at a moments
notice "in support of a legitimate
cause, which always is at the bottom
of American diplomacy" Baron Taxa
hira will leave for Washington tomor-
row morning at IL o'clock to present
his credentials to President Roosevelt
He is warm personal friend of Mr.
Roosevelt, and is looking forward to
his meeting with the chief executive
with great deal of pleasure. The
baron is returning to the American
capital after an absence of two years
spent in Rome as ambassador to Italy
The baron left Washington. as minister
and was subsequently elevated to the
rank of ambassador. He was one of
the Japanese ENJOYS at the Portsmouth
peace conference.
