AmberOl
Records

Are the new Records that play
twice as long as the regular Edi-
son Records.
Thus Amberol Records can be
used on your present Edison
Phonograph by the addition of a
simple attachment or gear, and
you can still play the Records you
have.
Amberol Records not only play
longer than any other Record
now made, but they play better,
their tone quality being richer,
clearer and more delicate than
has been possible in the past.
Let us put an attachment ON
your Phonograph or sell You an
Edison Phonograph that will play
both Records.

HOWARD AND LINCOLN
CLASH TOMORROW

Howard University foot ball team is
scheduled to play the strong team repre-
sentng Lincoln University of Lincoln
Pa. on the local campus tomorrow at
$50 pm. Lincoln has had the strongest
team in this section Of the country for a
great many years, but has been forced by
faculty ruling to play all games upon
home grounds. This year will be the first
for many seasons that Lincoln has traN-
team is exceptionally heavy and has the
experience of the most expert coaching
that can be obtained. Until last year Lin
since foot ball has been in vogue at the
school.
The team to whom Howard looks for
victory is the strongest that has fought
for the blue and white in many years.
In the back field are Gray, formerly Of
Amherst, whom Walter Camp picked for
the third all-American team of last year,
and Terry and Allen, whom if seen in ac-
ton would be reckoned stars on any col
lege team with the probable exception of
the big four in the east More at center,
Brown at quarter, Durrah at tackle and
Tyson and Lawrence at ends are powers
in their positions.
The Howard team this year is favored
in having on the coaching line Mr.. Ernest
Marshall, who won his foot ball and
track letters at Exeter and Wisconsin.
Mr.. Marshall was good player and is a
close student of the game. Howard is
expected to show its class In the game to-
morrow. This contest is the greatest foot
ball contest between colored schools any,
where i'll the country or where foot ball
is played.

Bucknell tomorrow and primed to put up
the greatest battle of it's career. the

Absolutely no chances were taken on
overworking or injuring any of the
players. Yesterday. with the weather
ideal for foot ball, the team was sent

siderable work on running down under
punts. Not only the ends but the entire
line is being coached to get down the
field fast.

with great difficulty that Schreck was
permitted to reach his dressing room
without being hit with a chair.
Schreck came into the ring weighing
at least 200 pounds, while the negro was
trained to the minute. Langford land

SUGGESTIONS FOR
FOOT BALL SOLONS

When the intercollegiate foot ball rules
committee meets there will be no lack OF
suggestions on hand as to how to Sc
change the game that the danger OF
serious injuries to players will be eliml-
mated to the premium.
1t has already been suggested to abol-
ish interference for the runners and to
model the game on the general lines OF
English rugby. Walter Camp is said to
favor increasing the distance to he gain
ed in three downs to from ten to fifteen
yards. thus forcing teams to adopt a
more open style of attack. Another sug-
gestion is to decrease the number OF
players by removing the guards and
fulback from the games. The advan-
tages to be gained by the latter sugges-
ton are not apparent.
Coach Stage of Chicago, who will he a
representative of the west at the COM
mittee meeting, has a list of five sugges-
with a view of modifying the dangers OF
the game. The desired changes are as
follows:
]. Allowing two chances to make ten
yards, Or increasing the distance to fif-
teen yards. and giving a team three
chances, as Walter Camp has suggested
In this way forward passing will be en-
couraged by making the use of the play
more often necessary.
>. BY prohibiting pushing or pulling OF
the runner with the ball, which now
does lots of damage: for. first, single
player now is often struck by the COM
bined force of two or three men: and
second, it takes the combined strength
OF two or more men falling under or on
top of the attacking players to stop
them.
). BY making penalty for crawling
with the ball, which would encourage
standing up in running.
4. BY increasing the penalty for piling
on a player unnecessarily.
.. By emphasizing the need of the ref
eree's blowing his whistle when the ball
is stopped, thus preventing massing.
There are many proposed actions
against foot ball playing that are being
held up awaiting the result of the rules
committee meeting. If some radical
changes are not adopted. the ban against
the game will be put in force in many
places, especially among the schools.
