SALIVA HOGS BRING IL CENTS.
VIII Be Made into Christmas Pork for
Home Trade.

Salina, Kan, Dec. 22.-It is probable
that Salina ha, established a record
for hog prices-at least for years-12
cents.
Of course this was an exceptional in
stance Three hogs were sold by John
Gebhart, living north of town, for this
extraordinary price.
The hogs were bought by NJ. ].
Quinn. They were bought especially
for Christmas meat. Mr.. Quinn had
looked in vain over most of the coun-
ty for hogs just of this kind.
Were it not for the fact that they
were designed especially for certain
class of Christmas trade such a price
would never have been offered. This
undoubtedly establishes record here.
When hogs went up to cents some
months ago there was much comment
on this fact. But this new price makes
the cent hog fade away like a morn
ing glory under a hot sun.

KENNEDY TALKS FOOTBALL.
X. Z. Coach Would Return to Old
Style-WiH Coach Again.

Lawrence, Kan, Dec. 22.-In an in
terview concerning the probable ac-
ton of the football rules committee.
Coach Kennedy of Kansas came out
ment of the old style of play. Ken
nedy played when the mass and
guards back formations were features
of the gridiron sport, and he talks
with first hand knowledge and ex-
perience with both the old and new
style of game.
The new rules have proven fail
ure'' said Coach Kennedy. There
are only two things to do-either
make the game more open in imita-
ton of the English Rugby game or
go back to the old style. 1t is foolish
to even think of introducing Rugby,
and the only thing that can be
done is to go back to the old style. ="
The Kansas coach would not rein
troduce the old game in entirety. He
advises changes which would rob the
game of some of it's bad features.
The heavy mass plays were the dam
gerouS feature about the old game.
Only five men were required to be on
the line of scrimmage and the six
men behind the line would hurl
Kennedy would require seven men IN
the line of scrimmage, thus leaving
only four men to play the mass plays.
He would further do away with dan
ger Dy 1OrD1d01nS lacking above the
waist, crawling with the ball. jump
ing or falling on a player after the
ball is down. He would also abolish
the forward pass and onside kick.
THE forward pass and onside kick
are the most dangerous devices ever
introduced into football. The rules
do not protect the man making or re-
ceiving the pass, and every coach in
structs his players to hit the waiting
man hard and not to watch the ball
at all. This leads to injuries.
But the open game is not more
dangerous to the backfield men alone.
In the old days the heavy linemen
stopped shoulder to shoulder and one
pushed openings in the line. Now
the players stand a yard apart and
jump fiercely at each other. Just as
many lnemen are injured under the
new rules as under the old.
Zone improvement made by the
new rules" the coach continued, sis
that they provide for better officiat-
ing. and that alone is quite a better
ment- Much of the criticisms of the
old game was due to the fact that the
officials did not enforce what rules
were on the books.
II want to see the rules revised.
Everyone says that step is necessary.
The best revision would be to estab-
lish modified form of the old game"
Coach Kennedy is an applicant for
his old place and will undoubtedly be
reelected.
