Such importance attaches to the Presi-

New Year day that diplomats accredited
to Washington hurry from all parts of
the world to be present. and 1t is a
show a bewildering display OF fine uni
forms, gold lace, medals and canking
swords and spurs on that occasion. In
usual interest attaches to the event this
year. both because it is the Presidents
flrst state function and because there

number of attaches on the ocean, who

Canadians Play Rugby for the Amer.

Less Productive Of Accidents Than
the o'd sty'7 - Played Four Short
Quarters,
(By Associated Press. }

New York, Dec. 11.-.-The Hamilton
and Ottawa (OntArio) football teams
two iof the leading clubs of Canada
gave an exhibition game of Rugby
as played in Canada ut Van Court
1andt Park this afternoon, before {
representative gathering of the bes
American football authorities and {
vast crowd of other spectators wh<
had been attracted by desire to see
the game which has been heraldet
by some as the successor of American
college football as now played. Ham.
ilton won II to s.
f. Not understanding the rules ot
play at first, the crowd was apathetic
but as the play advanced there was
more enthusiasm and at the con.
clusion the public was unmistakably
friendly to the game.
The rules committee of the Amer
ican collegiate football association
meets in this city during Christmas
week, and it is expected that it's mem
bers, nearly all of whom witnessed
the game today will consider a revis-
ion Of the rules, bearing in mind
the Rugby game as exhibited today
Among the head coaches, trainers
and other American authorities there
seemed to be concensus of opinion
that the open play and entire alb
sence of mass play in the Rugby
game Is responsible for the few acct
dents which have resulted.
The game is divided into four quar-.
.ters of Is minutes each the teams ex-
change goals between quarters and
there was Il ten minute fntermission
between the second and third quar-.
ter.
One Ottawa man was slightly hurt
in the first five minutes Of play, but
after that not player was injured
until near the end of the contest
when in fast and strenuous playing
threes men were retired. The rules
provide that no matter how slightly
a-player is hurt he must retire.
The first quarter, when Hamilton
scored four points to Ottawa's moth
ing, brought out many features OF
Rugby. The game was marked by
spectacular kicking by the backs OF
both. This, ami the rule against
mass playing, led to much open play
ing which appealed particularly to
the spectators.
The principal element of roughness
comes in the tackling, which may be
done by one player and which, be-
cause of the long kicks and great
runs, contributes a degree of dan
ger.

FOR THREE DAYS
GO WITHOUT FOOD IN THE IN

SCIENCE.
Starvation Was Not Experienced as

Amount of Food Three Times

fects From Experience.
(Bv Associated Press.)


Minneapolis, Dec. Involuntary
fasting for the sake of science was
the experience of eight young men,
sophomore medical students, who un-
derwent the ordeal in a three day
test just finished at the university
Starvation. however, was not expert
enced, for the young men were al
lowed a scant amount of food pre-
scribed by Doctors Beard and Scott,
of the physiology department.
At the outset every man was care
fully weighed and at $3.50 a. m. they
received their breakfast. The bill of
fare for the different meals never
varied as much as one gram and for
lunch at 1890 o'clock and for dinner
at $50 p. m. they received the same
fare.
The reason given by the students
for the ordeal was to determine the
fuel value of proteins, fats and car
bohydrates. Doctors say the exper-
iment was carried on to determine
whether Heterogeneous equilibrium"
could be successfully maintained
without actual tissue waste.
