Football Rules for iyCe.

Respectfully submitted to the COM
mittee OF revisiOn.)
Footballs must be resilient and col
lapsible at pressure of seventy
pounds to the square inch; this will
break many a fall.
No gridiron shall be of metal.
The college yell is hereby abolished
as a relic of barbarism, melting to
brutality.
Players must have their hair cut
before each game; floating hair is
inimiCal to the trachea of contestants
The high ball, or anything approx
mating to it, is barred as tending to
bad feeling; players may be cheered
but not inebriated.
When a player cries Down." two
players must be designated by the
referee to jump on him; this will give
paying patrons a better view than
heretofore.
No player shall gouge out but one
eye of an apponent; if, through over
sight, he should do so, he must put
it back before the game can go on.
Players may still continue to kick
a goal if undue force is not employed
A broken back counts two points
for the opposing eleven, a broken leg
one; broken ribs and noses do not
count.

WHO ARE THIS YEARS HEROES:

Every year adds new names to the
list OF football heroes at the University
Of Missouri At the close of each
season gaps are left in the ranks, yet
there Is never a lack of new material
This year IS not exceptional. A long
list of new men is trying out. What
will be their reward?
In practice each man strives to play
the one best game. Some fail but
gradually one climbs to the top. The
day for the big game draws near.
Other players and the coach put faith
in his ability. The students and fac
ulty look to him as a preserver of the
honor of the university. The strain
upon him is nothing as compared to
the honors he shall receive. At last
he has the ball: an open field is be.
fore him; a struggling, mass of play
ers is behind. He runs as if his life
depended upon reaching the goal. An
injury matters little now. His one
thought is to reach that goal. He
places the ball behind the posts and he
about him and he is the hero of the
university. How soon is his achieve
ment forgotten? Possibly some months
of honor and glory await him but at

ALMOST AS GOOD.

1t was tie, but it looks like vic
tory to Missouri Ames was consid-
cred, next to Kansas, the strongest
team on the schedule. If the new
Missouri spirit is able to play Ames
to 6-to-6 score this early in the sea-
son, surely, with five weeks of devel-
opment, Kansas can be defeated.
This is the direct result of the new
Missouri spirit. When the Tigers left
Columbia they felt their responsibility
as never before. The Missouri rooters
sent them to Iowa with a purpose.
That purpose was to defeat Ames and
Iowa State University. If they couldn't
defeat them, they were to do their
duty. To use a slang expression, the
Tigers made good,'' for a tie score
with Ames looks like a victory to Mis-
sourians. 1t looks like Beat Kansas
is prophesy instead of an empty
phrase.

Before the Game.

(By Any Coach, Before Any Battle }
Our punter has bung-up toe,
Our quarterback is noarse;
Our halfbacks have no backbone, so
Well lose the game, of course.
Our right end man always gets left;
Our left ends never right;
Our tackles lack in tackling deft-
The outlook sure's a fright.
Our guards seem solid-in the head;
Our center-let him pass.
TAKE this from me-it's on the dead

to Police Investigation

The police are mystjfed over an ap

articles from bonded warehouses, and
although Detectives Tracy and Welsh
have been working on the case for
week, they are as much in the dark
as when they started. An organized
band of thieves is suspected
A week ago yesterday young man
gave two expressmen an order on the
Phoenix warehouse at 142 Beale street
for 25 bags of rice and II bags of cof-
fee, valued at about $400, with instruc-
tions to meet him at Battery and
Market streets with the load. The
order was signed j. Campbell" The
expressmen drove with the load to the
point indicated but after waiting two
or three hours no one came to claim
the load and the harbor police were
notified. The load was taken TO police
headquarters, where it still remains. no
one having called to claim the rice and
coffee.
When the rice and coffee were re-
ceived at the Phoenix warehouse, it
was known that they had come from
some other warehouse, where they had
been stored but it was not discovered
until Friday that they had been stolen
from the Danforth warehouse, Battery
street and Broadway, but by whom
is a mystery.

Heise told the police that he believed
these two cases had been stolen from
the lJanfortn warehouse also, and the
police took possession of them and they
were placed beside the rice and coffee.
