AN IMPORTANT CHANGE
 IN FOOTBALL RULES


 New York, March 27.-An important change in the football rules was made by the Inter Collegiate Football Rules Committee. which completed it's ses- sion at the Murray Hill Hotel today in the reduction of points for a goal from the field from four to three.
 The object of this change. 1t was said, was to prevent two goals from the field counting more than hard won touchdown and goal. Commenting on this change, members of the com mittee said that 1t would reduce the importance on teams of star field goal kickers. Another change of import ance was one designed to prevent con penalties had been incurred by one team for the same play, by giving the offending team the option Of say ing which penalty shall be imposed

WESTERN GETS COACH.
Ex-Capt. Miller Of Georgetown Will
Help High School Lads.

Concurrent with the announcement that
most of the veterans OF the Western
high foot ball team have decided to en-
ter other schools comes a confirmation of
the rumor that Eddie Miller. for three
years a member of the Blue and Gray
varsity. having been captain of that team
last fall. will coach the youngsters now
trying out for the Red and White. That
such an able and experienced player has
been secured to teach the tactics of the
grfdiron to the ones that will have to
uphold the honor Of the Georgetown in
stitution in the high school series is
certainly great boon and one that will
in some part make up for the absence of
so many old men from the lineup
Although Miller will not be able to be
In charge every day because of the fact
that some of his efforts will be given
to the Hilltop varsity and props, never
theless he will have full say as to the
style of play to be used and in his alb
sence capable Iieutenants will carry out
his instructions. Inasmuch as the coaches
of the West Enders during the past few
years have either been ex-Georgetown
men themselves or have worked along
Miller will not find 1t difficult to show
the lads how to go at the game. His
hardest work will In all probability come
in teaching trick plays and getting speed
in the team playing, as both of these will
be very necessary II the light young
sters of the Red and White are to do
much against their heavier and more
seasoned rivals from Central and Tech.
Miller has not as yet decided when he
will take charge, but it will be as soon as
possible. Work in connection with his
classes will keep him pretty busy the
rest of the present week. SO that it will
probably be Monday or Tuesday before
he finally gets time to start developing
team at Western.

Maher From Newman School Regis

Young" Maher. for two years star
tackle on the Newman School eleven of
Hackensack, n. j., and a brother to Ar
thur and Walter. both of whom have
great records as foot ball players, has
entered the Georgetown Prep School and
has reported for the gridiron team at that
institution. He looks as though he could
handle himself, IN a game. being solidly
built and quick on his feet. Any one who
has ever seen either of his brothers in
action will readily notice strong re-
semblance.
Both of his brothers played on the Blue
and Gray prep teams of 1904 and 1909
while the younger. Walter, also played at
the Army and Navy Prep School, at Cath
Ollie University and last year on the hill
top varsity. 1t was expected that the
latter would again be seen in the har-
ness this fall. but as was stated in these
columns last spring. he has decided to
retire from the game and will henceforth
occupy himself with business.

HATCHETITES AT WORK.
Last Years Stars Rapidly Coming
Out With Foot Ball Squad.

Last years stars are now rapidly COM
ing out for practice with the George
Washington foot ball team and the
Hatchetites' stock is steadily rising.
"Haggy' Ellis appeared at Potomac
Park yesterday afternoon and will be the
mainstay of the backfield this year. Ell
lis is one of the steadiest men that ever
played backfield. and is one who never
gets injured. He played in every game
last fall without a mishap. and was al
ways ready and willing when called upon
to carry the ball. Hart has signifled his
intention to appear this afternoon. Hart
was the Al-South Atlantic tackle last
season. and he should have no trouble
In getting the same position this fall.
Both Ellis and Hart are in the pink of
condition. having rowed on the Poto
mac senior crew for the past four months,
so both of them wills be found in their
regular positions in the first game on
the I'd OF October.
Brandt, who played on the scrub team
last fall, is in fine condition and is fast
man and gritty. He should have no trou-
BILE in making some position on the line,
and could make 1t pretty hot for any
man he Is pitted against.
Bryant Morse has not yet appeared upon
the scene. but as soon as school begins he
will be in line. and in case he should not
beat Kelly out for quarterback he would
be fine running mate for either White
or Brookes on the end. Eichof, last years
star center returns Saturday and will be
out for practice Monday. Reports say
that he'is heavier than last season, when
he had no trouble whatever with any GEN.
ter ne played against. Holmes and Aston
are still showing up we'll at guard and
Bullough seems to be the goods at tackle
Never before in the history of the school
has there been such wealth of fine ma
terial for the line. 1t Is likely that the
five center men for the first game will be
Eichof at CENTER Brandt or Holmes and
Aston at guard, and Hart and Bullough
at tackles, but with the opening of school
next week wealth of new material is ex-
pected, which will make the veterans hus-
tie to keep their positions. Letters have
been received from men who are entering
school this fall, stating that they are to
try for the team. Last fall practically al!
of the regular team came out after the
season had started. and 1t would not be
surprising II the same thing happened this
fall.
The practice yesterday was very light,
as the men were pretty lame after the
stiff practice of the day before. Thralls
strong right leg is missed great deal in
the punting line. and the team Is yet
without a punter. but Dougherty is busy
developing one. There is wealth OF
drop kickers and it appears now that
great many of the points made this fall
will be by this method. There was a lit
tie passing the ball. some kicking and
some light signal practice. just enough to
dition.
With the return of the veterans the grid
iron game at George Washington begins
to wear a different aspect.

responsible for the colts winning the Dis
trict championship, was out giving the
boys a few pointers. AS he has to re-
turn to Woodstock to pursue his studies
in few days, it will be impossible for
him to take charge of the team this year,
much to the regret of both himself and
those trying for positions.
Manager Langmuir is fast getting his
schedule completed. he already having
two games on the list with many more
in view. To date. the first contest set
tied is that with Western, which is sched-
uled for October l. The other. that with
Central. is down for October 8. 1t is to
be hoped that Tech will now get into cor
respondence with the hilltoppers. as
contest between these two rivals Is one
that would attract the greatest interest In
local circles and would also do great
deal toward settling the District inter-
scholastic championship. Besides the
Washington teams, Manager Langmuir Is
also negotiating with Baltimore. Phila-
delphia and Richmond schools. and 1t Is
pretty certain that there will be two or
three games with outsiders on the COM
pleted schedule.
