a very few words at time-greater progress

DAMAGE At DlGBY, N. S.
Storm Worst in Years Along the Coast
OF Nova Scotia.

Digby. N. S., Dec. 27--The big north
east gale that set in yesterday and con-
tinued today kicked up the heaviest sea
in the Bay of Fundy for years and along
the Digby coast the tide rose more than
2S feet. a height hitherto unknown by
the present generation. The wharves
were all under water for time. Boats
and fishing gear were swept high up on
the shore and the stores along the wa.
terfront suffered considerable damage
The schooner Eddie j., Capt Clubhouse
dragged her anchors and crashed into
Syda G. Cousins wharf, carrying away
her jib staysal. At Point Prime light the
storm was the worst In 40 years. The sea
was carried 20 feet over the lighthouse
boats and ladders were swept away ano
the keeper was unable to reach the house
to operate the light. The weather glass
in Digby dropped to 2S 2-10. which is the
lowest recorded here in a score of years

so OF SO COLLEGES
Vote to Retain Football With Danger
Gus Plays Eliminated.

New York. Dec. 27.-Fifty colleges
out OF approximately IS in the Inter-
collegiate Athletic Association have
voted for the retention Of the American
football game with the elimination of
mass plays and other dangerous plays.
This was made known tonight by the
executive committee of the association
on the eve of the meeting to be held
tomorrow.
Five institutions voted that the pres
ent game is satisfactory except in mi
nor details: II favored the English
game of Rugby; seven took midway
position between the American game
anu Rugby, and nine voted that either
the American game should be redi
cally changed or Rugby substituted.
The executive committee. it was an
ed. favored the changes proposed
by the athletic committee of Wesct
Point and would so report to the con-
vcntion tomorrow. The West Point
committee has prepared a resolution
declaring that football has developed
dangers which are recognized to me in
tolerable and that it has become ne
ceSsary to eradicate undue roughness.
Among the abuses of the game the
West Point committee names are:
An excessive desire to win at any cost,
which develops a tendency to semi-pro-
fessional gameS-the practice of employ
ing professional coaches not identified
with the college and a dependence on
preponderant weight and strength instead
of mental acuteness and individual Skill
It is further contention that indis-
criminate playing of obviously over
matched contests should be prohibited
and to this end the forward pass and
mass attack should be abolished The
forward pass is condemned as extremely
dangerous because of the unprotected po-
stion of the player receiving the pass.
Dragging and pulling of fallen player
is condemned and penalties are provided
for players piling upon d man who has
fallen with the ball.
SiXty-four delegates and Is non-mem-
bers of the association will attend the
convention tomorrow. The association is
not a governing body and has no direct
control over college sports, but whatever
it recommends will more than likely meet
with the approval of the rules committee.
The fact that the executive committee
favors the West Point resolution indi-
Gates that the game will probably be
changed.
The executive committee consists of
Capt Palmer +. Pierce of West Point
chairman; Prof. Savage of Oberlin, Prof
Nicholson of Wesleyan A. A. Stage of
the University of Chicago and Professors
HetheringtOn of Missouri State University
and Phillips of Amherst.
The committee approved the application
for membership of Harvard, Brown
Bates College and Norwich University of
Northfield VT.

Judge Deering reported the matter to
District Attorney Jerome, who assured
him that an investigation of the hospital
and police records will be made SO as to
ascertain whether a man answering his
description has been reported.
Manager Jonzalen thinks that Mr.. Borne

as he can ascribe no other reason to his
disappearance.
