HEAVIER TEAMS ARE BENEFITED
New Rule Gives Advantage to Team
with Most weight.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22-For the first time
In many years a new rule has been adopted
in foot ball that is to the advantage of
the heavier team. All Of the big elevens
are Jumping at the opportunity to put the
ball in play on the twenty-five-yard line
after a touchback, instead Of being com
PEELED to kick off as was required under
the old rule. This play may be a little
technical to the spectator, but it is OF
immense advantage to a team tina under
ordinary conditions has the upper hand
while in possession of the bali.
Under the former rule after a touchback
had been made the side making the touch
down was required to bring the ball out to
the twenty-five-yard line and kick it to
their opponents. The new rule permits
them to Immediately put the ball in scrim-
mage IL they desire. This gives the team
a chance to keep possession of the ball
until IT has tried all the ways at its COM
mand OF advancing it. II It fails II can
still resort to the punt, which is Just as
good as a kickoff from the twenty-five
yard line. In two of the games last Sat
urday the big -Four" teams put the bali
in play this way and carried it all the way
across the field.
There is always danger in giving the ball
to a fast squad Of opponents on a kick.
They are likely to bring the ball back past
the middle of the field and the goal will
again be endangered. Under this new rule.
however, a team can rush the ball out of
danger, and then If it is desired punt it
out of any kline OF danger. All of the big
college teams are delighted with this
change in the rules. 1t somewhat lessons
their growing fear of the formerly weak
teams who are becoming more of a menace
every season
IL the rule makers intended to put a
damper on drop kicking or goals from the
field when they fixed the value of that
kind OF a goal at three points their plans
have gone sadly awry. The most spectac-
ular features of foot ball in these days of
open play are the drop kick and the for
ward pass. The sight of a ball spinning
from the field and through the goal posts
gives the foot ball enthusiast the same
thrill as does a home run in base ball with
two out. The fact tina It now takes two
field goals to equal a touchdown has not
dampened the ardor of the kickers in the
least. 1t was a drop kick that saved
Princeton from being banked in the game
with Fordham, and the Carlisle Indians
have used the play repeatedly to pile up
large scores.
For a while the Yale, Princeton and Har-
ward teams figured that they need not pay
so much attention to the development Of
drop kiekers as in the past, but in the last
few days there has been a rush on the
part Of the coaches to dip up hooters Of
class. All OF a sudden they realized up
at Harvard that it was a field goal that
beat Yale last year.
Coach Mccormick Of Princeton figures,
and very sensibly, too, that, while a field
goal will not beat a touchdown, the other
team must AVE a touchdown to beat the
kick. And ~tOuchdowns are not so easily
made under the rule requiring that ten
yards must be made in three downs.

chiefly by r. Il. Williams. the distance
runner. who will be remembered. certainly
by some Cornell and Columbia men. II was
Williams who trimmed Bernie Gallagher
Of Cornell IN 1901 in the Princeton-C Cornell
dual meet, only a week after the intercol-
legiate games In which Gallagher walked
of with the two-miie race and Williams
was third. 1t cost some Comedians a bit
Of money when Williams reversed tina
result IN the dual games. Columbia men
viii remember Bert Williams. because Il
was he who popped up seemingly from no
where and defeated Chesley Marshall Of
Columbia IN the intercollegiate mile In 1902
when the little Georgian looked to have
the race won. II Williams judgment Of
trainers Is as good as his Judgment Of pace
was. Princeton has a trainer who deserves
sticking to. The situation is pretty much
that Princeton ought to hold tight for q
time to the man and give him a nance to
make good.

National Club Win. In Court.

NEW YORK, Oct 2S.-In the court Of
special sessions the trial Of the case
against the officers Of the National Ath-
letic club to test their right to hold SPAR
ring exhibitions for members OF the club
resulted in a victory for the Brooklyn or
ganization. The club officials had no diff
hculty in proving that the National Ath-
letic club was organized and Incorporated
twenty years age. owned it's own club
house, worth 10000; had a bona fide mem
bership Of over 800. and that they con-
Quoted its Entertainments for its members
only, and strictly according to law.
Two members Of the police had borrowed
membership cards from two d-isgruntled
members of the organization and, repre-
senting themselves as those members, had
obtained admission and the arrests fol-
lowed. The club has an injunction against
interference Of the police, issued by Su-
preme Court Justice Maddox. The opening
stag will be held in the near future.

The Care OF the Eyes.

When one Is using the eyes for
close work it Is wise to change
the focus at intervals and gaze off
at a distance; if the distant view
is of green mountains and fields
it will be most restful. If the
air in the room can be frequently
changed that will rest the eyes
also. One should never use the
eyes for study or work before
breakfast or after the strength
has been reduced by disease or a
nervous STRAIN. A book should
be held about 1s inches from the
eyes. The light for work should
he steady and for an entire room
dltfused rather than spotty.-.

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

1t takes almost as much money
to send boy through college as
it does to support him afterward.
A mans idea of PATRIOTS m is
thinking he could run the govern.
ment better than those who are
elected to do it.
A girl sleeps with love letter
under he" pillow so she won't be
able to sleep for wanting to get
up and read 1t again.
If woman cau't worry about
anything else, she can about
whether she is going to like the
baby's wife when itgrows up and
gets married.
One of the most convincing
things about a widow is how, hav
ing had all her faith in man shat
tered by one, she can have 1t so
perfectly for all the others of his
race.
The most awful thing to the
average man about being cast
away alone on a desert island is
he would have nobody to lie to.
The queerest thing about wo-
mems fashions is how they can
shift their waist from around
their knees and hang it to their
shoulder blades.
1t can become lrksome to do
anything If 1t Is made a duty.
The reason men like to spend
money as II they could afford it is
they can't.
The difference between a man
and a woman is she likes to stand
before a mirror openly; he on the
sly.
What a girl likes about a love
letter is how she wants to keep
reading it over after she knows
1t by heart.
There's nothing makes a WI
man feel so neglected by her hus
band as for him not to let her buy
his neckties.
The reason a woman brags
about how smart her husband is
IN business is 1t kind of helps her
to believe he is.
The man who wants to put on
girls rubbers tor her before
they are married thinks she ought
to want to put on his goloshes for
him after they are.
Even a man who prefers prize
fight will lie ABOUT how he enjoys
grand opera.
There's no way a man can help
his wife to enjoy heI self when she
is having good cry as to tell her
to go right on dong lt.-New

A well.known druggist here at

prescription, stated that the IN

can be obtained at a small cost
from any good prescription phar-
macy, or the mixture would be
put up If asked to co so. He fur

Miles will send, free, to every afflicted

worst cases soon relieved.
They are the result of 2S years Of
extensive research and remarkable
success in treating the various all

case. So astonishing are the results
of his treatment that he does not hes

two-pound Trial Treatment free.
Certainly nothing could be more
generous. Few physicians have such
confidence in their treatments. There
is no reason why all afflicted persons
should not avail themselves of this
liberal offer, as they may never have
such an opportunity again. Delays are

THIRTY MATCHES APIECE DAILY.
Our Average for Every Man, Woman, and
Child


The American people use up
the enormous total of 100000.
100000 matches a year. It's the
general belief that matches are
the by.product of planlng mills
and other wood working factor
les, but as a matter Of fact, the
best grade of two inch lum Der is
used ecr matches, while sashes,
doors and binds are the by pro
ducts of the match tim Der saw
mills.
In single year. the manufac
turers cut 225, 100000 feet (board
measure) of pine in the Great
Lakes region, and one of the 150-
odd factories used up 200, feet
of sugar or yellow pine logs every
day. The deduction is that IN
common with other industries OF
the United States depending up
on existing forests, the match
makers are within sight of a
shortage IN the wood supply.
When the present tim Der hold

course cannot be duplicated IN a
generation, and the people of this
country may have to get along
with fewer than twenty. five or
