COMMITTEE LIKELY TO
AMEND FORWARD PASS
Rule Makers Are Expected to Make
Changes at Their Coming
Session.

The time is at hand for the regular
winter meeting of the football rules
committee There may be less interest
than usual in the session this year. in
view of the fact that the rules as now
revised are acceptable in the main
and few changes of a radical nature
can be looked for, but there is work to
be done and two or three questions of
more or less Importance must be
threShed out
The forward pass. which is slowly
but surely becoming The Old Man of
the Sea" to the rulemakers. will. in all
probability, be the leading subject for
discussion The play is comparatively
new TO football. and for that reason
it is not surprising that the rule gov
ernins its use has not proved entirely
acceptable as first promulgated or as
amended since
1t developed during the season last
fall that the forward pass was not so
successful as in 1907, due in all proba-
bility to the latest amendment. when
the effort was made 10 so restrict and
limit the play as to discourage its in
discriminate use. The chief value of
the forward pass lies in the weakening
of the defense. by compelling the OPP
posing team TO spread out its indis-
criminate use by making ii more de-
| ceptive possibilities. which make other
offensive plays more effective. Just
how to maintain this good point with
| out opening the way to the wild
| fling" which marked its use to a large
in ~
value as a ground-gainer is the prob
lem the rulemakers must solve
1t was thought that the rule adopted
| last year would lead to the develop
| ment OF more accurate passing. and
discourage its indiscriminate use by
making il more dangerous. The trou-
BILE is that the rule discouraged its use
to too great an extent, and consequent
ly did not lead to the development of
more accurate passing
| 1t seems that some middle ground
could be discovered by which the pen
atty for an incompleted play need not
be so severe. without opening the way
once more to its indiscriminate use by
a weaker team. with no other purpose
than to trust to luck. Morris s. Halli-
udS, oiS VI tiiS SoiAcii CodCHSS. HAS
expressed the opinion that the present
15-yard penalty for an incompleted for
| ward pass is too severe. while Glenn
| Warner. the coach of the Carlisle In
dian team, goes further and suggests
that it would be well to abolish the
restriction that the pass must clear
the line of scrimmage five yards from
the center or else eliminate the play
entirely and supplant it with the rule
that kicked ball may be caught on
the fly by the kicking side.

SMALL FORTUNES SPENT
BY TEAMS IN TRAINING
Annual Trips to the South by Big
League Clubs to Acquire Form"
Are Costly.

The major league clubs are at the
present time pouring 100000 into the
strong boxes of southern railroads and
hotels. And for what? Why. for that
mystic, intangible something called
form.
A vast army of big leaguers are now
at their training camps looking for
championship form. which is almost as
hard to find in the southland or any
where else as the fountain of youth.
PennantitiS is the consuming fever
that is causing the magnates 10 loosen
the purse strings and send their talent
into every state in Dixie, looking for
the end of the rainbow. where lies the
form that will win championship.
And the southern training camp is no
longer the privilege of the rich major
leaguers. The more important of the
minors have taken up the spring prac-
tice tours. for they are just as anxious
to bring pennant glory to their respee-
tive cities as the big fellows.
Does it pay? In nine cases out of
ten the answer, financially speaking,
is No" Artistically? Well, that de-
ponds. President Comiskey of the
Chicago American league team took
his White Sox on the most elaborate
junket made by any of the teams They
went to San Francisco on a special
train. which was an exact duplicate of
the Overland limited. Swell training
trips are lsbby with the Master of
the Sox,' and he spent $4,000 for his
train alone. That is as much as the
average club spends for its entire
training trip.
But Commy says he will get it all
back, and more, too. Possibly he will.
for he has scheduled about seventy
five games for the two sections of his
team. and. inasmueh as he has the
whole of the far west practically to
himself. it looks like a reasonable
guess that the Sox will have proved
themselves bread-wipners when the
trip is over.
There are two good reasons for the
Indifference with which the southern
fans view the coming of the big
league squads. One is that they don't
like to see their own pets whaled so
frequently. and the other is that the
stars from the north don't extend
themselves to the point of showing
of all their fine points. That is to
say, the swell sliders don't slide, and
the top-notch fingers are content to
go along without displaying their be
wildering benderS. 1t is the most diff
ficult task for a manager to make his
team work its hardest in theexhibition
games in the south.
Every spring there are a larger
number of players who ask to be ex
cused from the southern trip. They
! promise the management they will re
port in the pink of condition" wher
the championship season opens. Since
there is no way to force a player tc
take the practice jaunt, the manager
has nothing to do but bow gracefully
to the stars request and wait to SEE
If the promise to report in the pink
is made good. In most cases ths
player who sidestepped the practices
in the south is timid in his batting
when the bell rings for the openins
game of the season. The swattins
orb is trained in only. one way, ant
that is to swat steadily every day.

The Bride.

With sacred thrills of welded bliss
Our lips have met in many a kiss.
AS happy stars in music move
Our lives glide by, and yet, dear love,
I grieve because you may not know
My spirits subtlest ebb and flow.
The soul is yelled BRIDE
Could / but tear that veil aside
Revealing all the strange desires,
The ashes and the hidden fires
Would you so love? All, who may know
Yet oft I wish it might be so.
Sometimes when by your side I dream
So variant from the thing I SEEM
Could you but pierce with spirit eye
NY souls remotest mystery.
But no, a shadow thin and pale
Between us hangs its battling veil.
AS children with impatient heart
Will pull the slow sweet flowers apart.
We long sometimes to tear away
The calyXeS of time and clay:
But Love awaits his full blown hour.
The trance of light. the crowning
flower.

The Hills.

The Hills.
Oh, my Soul, have you wearied of the
hills?
We were native to them one day you
and I
Less dwellers of the earth than of the
sky,
Where the holy sense of silence stays
and stills
Like a hand of benediction lifted high
We have stayed in this market place too
long;
We have bartered with the birthright
in our breast;
We have shared US with buffoonery
and jest,
Nor raised our eyes to where our hills
were strong
Above this petty region of unrest.
Oh. my Soul. let us go unto the hills,
To their wonderful, high silence and
their might
Where the old dreams shall whisper
us at night
Till the sullen heart within us stirs and
thrills.
And wakes to weep and wonder and de-
light
Oh. my Soul. let us go onto our hills.
