WRESTLE WITH RULES.
Committee Fails to Come to Agreement
in Regard to Forward Pass.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-The intercol-
egiat football rules committee spent
twelve hours wrestling with the forward
pass yesterday, and at the conclusion of
the discussion was M nearer a decision,
as far as the visible evidences of agree
ment were concerned, than 1t was before
1t started. As a matter of fact, the COM
mittee sifted out a thousand and one of
the impracticable suggestions that had
been made to it, and was down to hard
pan. There is undoubtedly a feeling that
there will be al agreement today In the
Hlle OF last year. The only question is
how extensive that change will be.
The committee was supposed to meet
yesterday morning at the Murray Hill
Hotel, but the blizzard played havoc with
traffic and there was not a quorum pres
ent at the appointed hour. In the after
noon, however, ten assembled for BUSH
ness, and they continued in session until
the dinner hour.
During the interim a committee Of three
wrestled with the vagaries of the forward
pass in an attempt to reach an agreement,
and that committee reported when the
meeting, again convened in the evening.
For the remainder Of the night there was
no other subject discussed, and when
adjournment was taken at l O'Clock, there
was still no decision.
The first thing that was done by the
committee was its organization. 1t took
less than ten minutes for the two commit
tees of seven TO agree to coalesce, and
the ~amalgamation was effected as antici~
pated. The committee which will legis-
late then elected Professor l.. NJ. Dennis,
of Cornell, to serve as chairman again;
E. *. Hall, of Dartmouth, to act as secre-
tary, and authorized Walter Camp, OF
Yale, to edit the rules, as usual. The re-
ports of the few subcommittee were re-
eeived and accepted.

Head of National Commits

Says PuIliam Is Mistaken.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 25.-For the frat
time, Chairman Garry Hermann, Of the
National Baseball Commission. yesterday
made reply to the criticisms promulgated
widely a few days ago on the par Of
President Pulliam, of the National League.
Said Mr.. Hermann:
ST am absolutely certain thai President
Pulliam is mistaken In his remarks about
the National Association, about me and
everybody else. I am no ~turncoat, because
1 have evidence in my letter files which
convinces me that the National Associa-
ton did not act dlscourteously toward the
National Commission nor Harry Pulliam.,
President Hermann showed letters WRIT
ten by o'Rourke, father of the resolution
which has caused so much trouble, which
apparently showed hat Pulliam should
have entered the National Commission
meeting, held this month, with a full
knowledge of the intentions of the National
Association.
