NEW YORK, Dec. Is.
- OLUMBIA UNIVERSITY has fol-
lowed the lead of Harvard in
applying for membership in the
Intercollegiate Athletic Association,
which is meeting here today to con-
slider the revision of football rules. Co.

AS a basis for today's discussion the
delegate from West Point has prepared
a resolution offering certain definite
suggestions for revision. His resolution

"A single line of scrimmage at the
forward point of the ball.
"An unrestricted forward pass to be
completed behind the line of scrimmage
without penalty for its failure.
ALLOW the quarterback to run with
the ball without restriction.
when a player is making a fair
catch no opponent shall approach
within three yards unless h ball is
fumbled.
ION the offense at least six men shall
be on the I'M of scrimmage; h others
except the quarter to be at least five
yards behind the line. In plays across
the line within five yards of the centre
not more than three men to cross to-
gether.
Dragging and pulling of the player
with the ball to be prohibited.
admit no one to the side lines except
authorized officials.
Require removal of a player from
the field as soon as he becomes physi-
cally unfit"

ent game is satisfactory except in

vention. The West Point committee

President Felts, of the Bay Views
rolled last night with the Bay View
Regulars and got a mark Of y. He ex-
pressed himself as delighted with the
success Of last nights big affair and
complimented the STAR.
The members Of the Bay View Wheel
mems Suburban League five were in the
sixth squad 70 go on h alleys last
night. There was a big cheer for the
quintet, which has brought home the
bacon for the wheelmen so many times
in the Suburban League race The
champions made good by putting up the
record mark of 4Ss. 1t nay be that this
feat VIII be worth Just s25 to the Bay
Views, for that is the amount of the
first team prize in the STAR tourna-
ment. The tallies of los made by both
Captain Billy Ticlsch and Jack Taylor,
and the mark of los to the credit of the
veteran. Harry Critchett, should put
them in the money, too, for there are six
individual prizes.
> Both Taylor n Tielsch did perfect
work in recording their marks of los,
neither missing the head-pin. Taylor
started with three strikes in a row,
while Tfelsch got two for a starter and
then eight pins. Taylor got nine in the
fourth box. a strike in the fifth and
seven IN the sixth. Then came nine pins
and then seven. A strike followed n
then w mines, for a total of 100 in the
eleventh frame. His last ball earned
him eight pins.
Tieisch got numerous strikes and tied
Taylor in the seventh frame at s. and
again in the tenth frame at 81. He was
a pin behind in the eleventh box, but
made it all even by getting nine pins on
his last ball.
5 Critehett had 100 in the box, but FIVE
pins falling. S~choenleber had three
misses and William Nagel two, the total
of five for the team being an exceed
ingly fine showing. That S~choenieber
got a score of 81, in spite Of his trio OF
slips. counts yell for his pinning. Nagel
tailed 81.
There was plenty of good pinning
done by the other thirteen teams that
competed last night, but none of the
pin-knights reached that coveted CEN
tury-mark. The Bay View Wheelmen's
basketball five went on the alleys first
accompanied by the members of the
Friday Night Bowling Club. Guthrod,
with 80, was high for the basketball
quintet. His slip came in the sixth
frame. For the Friday Nights Schaal
had IS. in spite of a pair of misses
owing to excellent filling in the ten
frames in which he did hit the head
pin, and Dick Stern. in spite of a handi-
cap of three misses. tailed 50. Raao
got 81 with one miss.
The Knockers and the Dubs took
their turn next and there was some
more fair pinning. Mates, for the
Knockers. was high with S6, slips in
the second and third frames spelling
his chances. Both Ran and S~treunins
tailed 20 for the Dubs.
The Regulars and the Wanderers then
tried their skill. There were several
good exhibitions. Staeger had a miss
in the first frame and this was a handi
cap he never recovered from. finishing
with a total of 81. He a 80 in the
eleventh frame and needed a strike for
q score OF 100. Seven pins was the re-
suit of his best effort. q. Schmidt, for
