.AUTOISTS MUST
 PAY DIFFERENCE
Law Affecting Registration Fee Inter.
 preted by Attorney General.

Attorney General Holcomb has giv- en an opinion to State Secretary M- H. Rogers. covering certain points wh oh have arisen under the present law Tor the registration of automobiles One point raised was the date which shon d be attached to license when an ap- plication has been made at one time and the correct fee received later. On this point the attorney general finds that the registration should bear the date on which the application is re- ceived-
 The second point raised by the Sec. retary of State involved the pro rata fee to be pail by the owner of motor vehicle who. having registered an au- tomobile. later in the year buys and registers one of a different horse-pow- CT, either greater or less. than the one first registered. The attorney gene al answers the question by the following illustrations:
 smith causes a motor vehicle owned by him to be registered in January. 1910. It Is a twenty horsepower car. end he pays the SIC registration fee which the statute requires. which en- titles him to use this car under the registration until December 3l. 1e1l.
 In July, 1910. he transfers the own ership in this car to another. and can register a substitute car of twenty horsepower sor less for the balance or registration fee The only fee he pays is the S2 transfer fee
 If. however. he desires to register substitute car of sixty horsepower ne must pay the pro rata registration Tee for the balance of the year which the statute provides for sixty horr-- power car. viz.: SIS. He paid in Jan uary s10 on his twenty horsepower cac. and has therefore paid s5 regis- tration fee on this car for the balance of the year. He Is allowed this amount as an offset to the SIS and pays the difference of SIS.
 In this way he Is given credit for the registration fee he>has paid on his former car for the balance of the year. and pays the statutory registra- tion fee for the substituted car for the balance of the year.
 A similar computation would deter mine the registration fee to be paid between motor vehicles of any horse power.
 The statute does not provide for the repayment of any portion of a regis trstion fee further than to apply the unexpired portion of a registration fee in part payment of the registration fee of the substituted motor vehicle of higher horsepower. 4

SAVAGE AND COY TO
 ALTERNATE IN BIG GAME

According to Charlie Chadwick. who for four years was guard and tackle at Yale. Savage is the man for the end position. He states that Eds forte is really offensive halfback playing. H. is six feet tall. weighs 1S0 pounds. and is the typical end rush of the modern game in weight. build and speed Chai wick. however. ranks Vaughn as a better and speedier man than the local youth. Vaughn has been feared by all the teams as a sure catcher of the for ward pass. Whether Savage will pull off the runs after catching the forward passes. as Vaughn has done will be told about o'clock Saturday.
 The practice at Yale field yesterday was secret. and for the first time since who knows when. a Princeton player was invited in. He was Frank Bergin. the New Haven boy. who played in the game at quarterback against Yale Saturday. After Bergin got back to Jungletown. a doctor looked him over. found a broken rib. and bundled him off again to his home in the Elm City. When the Yale coaches heard he was in the burg yesterday they phoned i'm to come over to the field and take a peep at Eii's bunch-secret work

In planning the campaign for the Harvard game Saturday. the Yale coaches have decided to let Captain Coy and E. Savage swap places in the game frequently. Savage boots the ball as we'll as Coy does. and he also is a heavy line borer. If Coy gets trifle tired he will call Savage back while he catches his breath play ng end In case Coy retires from the game. Savage will go behind the line permanently.
 That right end position has been bothering the coaches all week. It tw7s finally decided yesterday that Savage would be the first string man. with Dummy" Logan who has been out of the game for some time. but who Is rapidly gaining strength. to fall in line. Yale will start with the strong est aggregation possible. The com bination of Savage and Coy Inter changing. and the halfbacks. Philbin and Murphy will be the order. The Yale line. which played so strongly against Princeton will play against Harvard. with the exception of right end. which has been noted will be divided between Coy and Savage

STAGG SUGGESTS
 FOOTBALL CHANGES
Modification of Rules Which He Believes Win Ainimize Dangers to Which Players Are Subjected, @
0speclal from united Press. }

Chicago. Nov. 1S.-Dr- A. A. Stagg of the University of Chicago, started work today on a revision of the foot ball rules. in an effort to make the game safer and prevent the deaths which have caused the adverse senti- ment during the past year. Among the changes he will suggest will be a rule giving team only two chances 'tos make ten yards before losing the ball on downs or making the necessary distance to gain IS yards and allowing the three downs
 Stagg would prohibit pulling - or pushing the man running with the ball which he thinks leads to injuries Stagg also wants to penalize a player crawling with the ball He would in crease the penalty for bling unneces- sariiy on a player. He would force the referee tc blow his whistle the mo- ment the ball is stopped. thus prevent ing piling up of players
 Stagg will offer his suggestions to the conference committee at a meet ing to be held this afternoon
