Big STRIKE
IN BOHEMIA
DISTRICT

one of the richest strikes ever
made in Western oregon was made
in the North Falrview mine, Bohe-
mia district, a few days ago. The
ore is fabulously rich, and the
ledge is five feet wide. About two
feet of the ledge is free milling ore,
and the rich stuff is a stringer run
ming along the hanging wall. The
find was made on the surface, only
200 feet below the main tunnel. Bo-
hemia will get to be a great camp.

For the past two years the class OF

Games Between East
And West Popular

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-While the
eastern football adherents and enc
mics are reviewing the controversies
of 1905 and talking of reOrganizing.
changing and perhaps eliminating the
reat autumn sport, the players in the
middle west are planning for next
season, and speaking of raids into the
eastern camps and of games to decide
the championship of the United
States And all this enthusiasm is
the result of the Michigan victories.
Football prestige has been an dnques-
toned attribute of eastern colleges for
the past few years, since the confer
ence dispute which hampered the
Wolverines. One does not have to
glance far into the depths of football
history, however, to remember days
when the corn-fed and Wheat-raising
youths came from the prairies to the
campus and rolled up pnenomenar
football scores When the eastern men
saw some of those TALES they used
to wonder if Stagg and YOst dressed
their teams in track suits and coached
squads made up entirely of 4f0-yard
champions. At that time there was
some thought in the minds of many
that if certain inter-sectional games
had been arranged the eastern bleach
critics would have believed that the
Yale-Harvard contest was an interest
ing tradition
At the close of this season the middle
western colleges are a-buZZ with foot
ball conjecture. The Michigan-Pennsyl-
vania and the Chicago Cornell tie

of the field, and would limit even the
most modified forms of it to a few
| downs near the goal line.
Plan to Stop Crawling.
Many players have been injured try
ing to crawl with the ball after being
downed At present a rule penalties
members of the defensive team who
pile up on a PROSTATE player, but if
the ball were called down the minute
the player was on the ground, whether
a tackler was holding him or not,
crawling would be stopped short and
it's attendant danger of injury entirely
eliminated.
These are the principal changes in
the rules which most of the critics con-
slider necessary, and which are most
likely to be subjects of legislation by
the rules committee, but countless
other revisions have been suggested.
One of these is to prevent the running
back of punts, and the injuries often
resulting to the runner from fierce
open-field tackling, by providing that
the ball must be in play on the spot
where it is caught, and with a fai.
catch This, however, would eliminate
one of the most spectacular features
Of the game, and would give good
kicker a tremendous advantage. Again
it is suggested to do away with c'eats
on the players shoes, prolific source
of minor cuts and bruises, to abolish
the straight arm, to limit interference
to one or two men in compact forma
ton, to prohibit the defensive player
from using his hands on any part Of
his opponents head, and many others
of like nature. These will doubtless
receive due consideration by the rules
committee, but it is rot likely many Of
them will be acted upon.
There will always be injuries in any
active, lively game like football. which
all the legislation >o-' open play in
the world can't legjslate out of being
In fact, the lesson drawn fl ON open
play so far seems to be that it actually
results in more injuries, but usually If
minor nature, seldom resulting seri-
)usly, while the men hurt in mass
plays are usually seriously laid out
This seasons playing in the Northwest
bears this out. Dudley Clarke, Ore
kon's kicker whose loss handicapped
that team f-3 the whole season, was
put out with sprained ankle received
in an open formation jim practice. Keck
of o. A. c., received a sprained ankle
running in from the field. Louis Pink
ham received a broken rib in tackling

gon ends, was hurt in an open play

fort was made to induce him to sign

sorts of weight conditions, and when
