FISH DEFENDS NEW FOOTBALL
Skill in Place of Brute Force Now New Game Capable of Still Greater Development.

In the initial number of magazine published in Boston, Hamilton Fish, Jr., captain of the Harvard football team, has an article upon 'The New Football" The Crimson leader com- pares the old game and the new, to the latter's advantage, but predicts that it has by no means reached it's highest development. He says in part:
 "The new football rules, which were enforced for the first time in 1906, have caused a much greater revolu- tiOn in football than is generally real ized. To the inexperienced onlooker, the game has not changed to any ex- tent, except in the use of the forward pass. But to the players and critics the game has undergone an absolute change for the better.
 "A decade ago the players were all lowed to do almost anything they chose in the way of rough play. It was understood that a man should be warned three times for rough play be- fore being put out of the game In many instances the opposing lines forgot their assignments entirely and only remembered to hammer one an- other. In looking back on football as played ten years ago. it seems re- markable that more fellows were not smashed 10 pieces. The old players spent most of their time practising with locked hands or arms. The best plays were heavy mass plays such as the guards back and tackle backs, which simply wore down and squash ed the opposing line men. Statistics show that owing to the frequency of these mass plays. twice as many were injured as under the present rules.
 Tt is impossible to overlook the brutal openings which the old game allowed. Each team had certain play

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
LATE RALLY IN PRICES Prompted by a Covering of Shorts
 No Market Today.

New York, Nov. 24-The contrast of the wide movements in opposite direc- tions of a few stocks in today's mar ket did not conceal the unsettlement still existing in the speculative senti- ment over the issues presented in the Standard Oil case. Reading resumed it's functions of supporting factor against the tone of depression else where in the market. Its rise to only l 38 short of it's highest record price was unexplained by any news bearing on the property. The buying of the stock was concentrated and said to come from banking interests connect- ed with the company. The strong showing made by the Southern Pacific in its annual report made that stock in demand and gave it a period of strength in the market. Wabash pre- ferred reacted sharply from it's advance of yesterday, owing to the disbelief in the rumors of merger with the Della ware, Lackawana and Western. There were further engagements of gold for shipment to South America, and the foreign exchange market maintained its strong tone, ir spite of the further decline of discount rates in London and Berlin. On this account reports of the intention of the Bank of England authorities to reduce the official dis count rate tomorrow were received with some doubts. The eve of the Thanksgiving holiday reduced the vol ume of the transactions to some ex- tent. The same influence prompted a covering of shorts, which was responsi- ble for the late rally in prices.

Thanksgiving Day Sport Programme
Football Wrestling and Boxing in Local Field-cornell vs. Penn the Big College Game-Duckpin Challenge to Danelson Roller.

Thanksgiving day in this vicinity provides an attractive and varied sport programme; including two kinds of football, soccer and the American rugby, and a card of wrestling and boxing bouts. Soccer football comes in the morning at Sachem park when the Norwich club meets a Jewett City aggregation. The Academy football eleven winds up its season with a game against Yale Consolidated on the Academy campus in the after noon, and the wrestling and boxing bill is pulled off at Central Village town hall under the management of Bill Collins.
 For the Academy game, Captain Gallivan will have his usual lineup, with Casey, Porter. Ravens and Oat on hand for possible substitutions. This makes the Academy lineup as follows: Gallivan (capt) re. Swan It, Walsh lg. Ricketts c, Isbister rg, Law son Tt, Gebrath re, Hendrick qb, Moves lhb, Lawler rhb, Mccormick fb. Against these Arthur Robinson has a lineup for the Yale Consolidated team which includes Thompson. Burke, Tom Aubrey, Jack Murphy and Nat Morse, all former Academy boys. Claude Pen dIeton, formerly of Yantic, and some Williston and Exeter football men. AuDItyt NuO IdS DGCH ldiHt by writing the football song of the year.

 The Academy is closing most sue cessful season, in which it has lost but one game. and a balance of about S200 is expected to remain in the treasury when the season is over. The sum, of $106 was realized on the Bulkeley game last Saturday.

CTS with especial assignments to at tack the opponents, punter, and in those days punter was lucky to get through game with whole skin. By rule which was introduced just before the other new rules, the punt CT is protected by Is yard penalty from being charged.
 ''The opposing lines now have a neu- tral zone of a foot between them, thus allowing the umpire to see any in- fringement of the rules. The use of locked arms and hands Is absolutely forbidden. The duties of the line man are to carry out the assignments giv- en him and not simply to batter his opponent. Skill is taking the place oi brute force. Football as played today is game of human checkers where each play is planned and every mis- take costly.
 "The new game has by no means reached it's highest development Each year the rules committee will make further changes for the better and each year the players will be more proficient at the new style of play.

If Charles L. Nado of Danielson, the duckpin roller, whose 412 score was reported in the Wednesday Bulletin, wants to get up against some classy rolling, he can reply to a challenge which Kid Murphy, the Norwich star, issues herewith.

FOOTBALL SEASONS END.
Penn-cornell the Big Game Today
 Two Good Games in New York.

New York, Nov. 24.-The football season will end in the east with to- morrow's games. The Cornell-Penn- sylvania contest at Philadelphia this year will take the place of the can celled Army Navy match as the last big game of the season. It is Phila- delphia's greatest college athletic event of the year and will attract a crowd almost the equal in brilliancy and enthusiasm of those at the Yale Princeton and Yale-Harvard games of the past fortnight
 Two interesting games will be played in New York, one between Syracuse an1 Fordham and the other between New York university and Trinity. The Syracuse -Fordham game will attract the largest number of spectators, for Fordham has already beaten Cornell and in the event of winning tomorrow from Syracuse will be fairly entitled to the championship of New York state. Fordham has lost only one game this year, that being to Prince ton by goal from the field.
 Other eastern games tomorrow will be between Pennsylvania State and Pittsburg, between Bucknell and George Washington, and between Get tysburg and Franklin and Marshall.

THE PueiLIsTs.
The French Fighter Wants to Get
 Another Chance.

Give me another chance" is the pith of a statement given out by Henri Piet, the French lightweight, recently defeated by Ad Wolgast in two rounds at the New Orleans West Side arena. we can show that Vol gast secured a freak victory "The blow \ with which Wolgast put Piet out in the second round" declared Gus Muller, his manager, would not have put out any ordinary fighter in condition. Piet was not in good condition; had he been the story would have been otherwise"
 Give me a chance with a good lightweight and if I don't win next time I'll go back to Paris" says Piet. Mcfarland Will Invade England. Packey Mcfarland has sent word to the National Sporting club of Lon don that he intends to visit England about the first of January and that if Freddie Welsh can be induced to re- main there, until then he will make a match with the English lightweight champion. Under the revised scale of weights in England the lightweight limit is fixed at 135 pounds and Me Farland states that he will have no trouble in reducing to that figure. Nelson has refused to fight Mcfarland except at 133 pounds ringside. so the Chicago puglisit is anxious to cut Nell son out of first crack at Welsh. ketcheI-Papke at 165 Pounds. Ketchel says he will agree to fight Papke after January at 165 pounds ringside and will allow the middle weight title to go with the result But Sam Langford, who has laid claim to the title, stands ready to defend it at 15S pounds ringside, the American
 
 Papke. Under these circumstances it is hard to believe that a Papke- Ketchell mill at 165 pounds will be regarded as a middleweight bout.

 Frank Slavin, who, it is thought, was long ago buried pugilistically, is striving to resurrect himself. Slavin came to life with a challenge from Victoria. British Columbia, in which he offers to fight Charley Mitchell, John l.. Sullivan, Jake Kilrain or Joe Choynsd in one night and says that he will guarantee to stop" them all inside of ten rounds each for the mod est sum of $10,000. If he doesn't stop them he will give his adversaries s10,- 900.
 When Slavin was "good" he was beaten in four rounds by Peter Maher, the perpetual Irish champion, at Madison square garden in New York, and was knocked out in London by Peter Jackson in ten rounds.

COURT DECLARES ELECTION VALID.

The local option election held in
Staunton on July %, 1909, on the
question of granting or not grant
ing license for the sale ofintoXicat-
ing liquors which was carried by
the "drys" by a plurality of 20
votes, and which was subsequently
contested by the "wets" who,
claiming alleged illegal voting,
charged that said election was an
undue election, has now been de-
clared to be legal and valid by
Judge Henry w. Holt of the Cor
poration Court.
The action of the Court in the
matter is final unless the "wets"
see fit to carry the case to the SUI
preme court on constitutional
grounds. Approached on that
subject, q prominent attorney who
has been identified with that fac
ton since the beginning of the cam
paign stated to a Sun reporter that
no such action would be considered.
1t would seem therefore that after
several months of uncertainty
Staunton is, or soon will be, a
dry" town.
