Will Make FO tball Rules
To Suit Themselves

NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-The athletic
directors eof the New York public
schools plan to revise the football rules
to suit themselves. They believe that
by eliminating certain features OF play
they can produce a game in which the
element of danger will be greatly less
ened. The chairman of the committee
in charge says in statement made
public today:
I'VE shall take up the rules IS the
intercollegiate committee leaves them
and wherever their decision does not
appeal TO us we shall modify or alter
the regulations to fit our needs.
I'VE shall substitute some of our
provisions as necessary for boys of
high school age. for what is physically
proper exercise for older men is not
always suitable for younger ones. We
hope TO produce a game which will be
safe enough to warrant the readOp-
tion of football in our schools"

preparation of s420, 900, but $4,000 re-
mains to be subscribed. and this amount
the members of the commission think
will be obtained before the extended
option expires.
The members of the commission de-
cided that steps should be taken to
raise the remaining sum by popular
subscription rather than alone from the
property owners
The subscriptions range from $40 to
$1,000" said j. r. Howell. secretary of
the commission. Nothing would please
the commissioners more than TO see
the public generally regard the prof.
ect as one directly for the public good.
BY raising the remaining $4,000 the
state will give to the city buildings
and improvements amounting to nearly
$500. 000.''

Stock Holder of Socrates Mine
Complains of an Alleged
Secret Combination

Charges that the directors of the
