FEWER INJURIES IN
FOOTBALL THIS SEASON.
Latest American Modification of Eng
lish Rugby Game Likely to Stand.

Boston. Nov 2S.-That the latest
American modification of the English
RugbX football game is likely to stand
for several years. at least, with perhaps
a few further minor changes, IS the
opinion of many of the coaches and
players of the New England college
elevens at the close of the present sea-
SON. From the spectators standpoint
the game proved more popular than
ever before.
Injuries were less in number and in
seriousness than for many years, only
one fatality occurring in this section,
That one was on Thanksgiving day at
Winsted, Conn.
According to Trainer "Pooch" Dono-
van and DIR. Nichols of the Harvard
eleven, twisted knees were more prev
a1ent than any other injury. The pol
icy of Coach Percy D. Haughton of the
Harvard eleven this season in regard
to injuries was to allow no player to
continue in the game after he had
suffered any semblance of injury. Mr..
Haughton's opinion of the seasons re-
suits will not be learned until after his
return from Europe.
Coach Don" Pryor of the Brown
squad said that the new rules helped
his team immensely. They gave
greater chance for heavy, speedy men,
he said, than was allowed the same
players under the old rules and are
entirely satisfactory except-possibly for
the twenty-yard zone relating to for
ward passes and onside kicks, and the
division of periods. Brown went
through the season without serious in
jury and the team could have stood a
much harder schedule than under the
old rules. Brown put brains ahead of
Drawn and won out.
Coach r. S. Durdin Of Bowdoin COL
1ege said the new game has great pos
sibilities which even the larger colleges
did not bring out.

CLUB BATTING.
SUGGESTION Of DR.. Carl Williams.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2S.-Dr. Carl Will
lians, representative of the University
of Pennsylvania on the football rules
committee and chairman of the advi-
sorry board OF coaches, speaking of the
new football rules today, said:
There is no question that under the
new rules there has been a decrease in
the number of injuries. I contend,
though, that the new rules have not
succeeded in making the game more
interesting to the public. The game
has been marred by the fact that I'M
der the new rules prohibiting giving
assistance to the runner it is almost
impossible for either of two evenly
matched teams to gain more than two
or three consecutive first downs. I
would remedy this by permitting the
runner to receive the assistance of at
least one man. If such q rule were
passed it would be possible to restrict
the forward pass to back of the line of
scrimmage. This would give the Of
tense an even chance. Then I would
remove the twenty-yard restriction
from the onSide kick.
With the exception of this year as
guide next years game should be far
more interesting and just as safe"
DR.. Albert H. Sharpe of Yale, coach
OF Penn Charter school, this city, and
one of the best known referees in the
country, said:
AS coach and as official I feel
sure that the new game has reduced
injuries, but it has not been an I'M
qualified success. TO improve it
would remove the restrictions from the
onside kick. / would also eliminate
the twenty-yard zone intended to pro-
tect men going down the field under

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

We called in a doctor. He said it was
eczema and from that time we doctored
six months with three Of the best doc
tors in Atchison but he only got worse:
His face, head and hands were a solid
sore. There was no end to the suffering
for him. We had to tie his little hands
to keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from the
time he took the disease Until he was
cured. He kept US awake all hours in
the night and. his health wasn't what
you would call good. We triedsevery-
thing but the right thing. Finally got
a set of the Cuticura Remedies and am
pleased to say we did not use all Of
them until he was cured. We have
waited year and half to see If it
would return but it never has and to-
day his skin is clear and fair as it

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL.
. S. STEEL, U. p, AND READING
Held the Overwhelming Preponderance
of Activity Over the Entire Market.

New York, Nov. 2S.-A number of
factors combined to cause the acute
weakness of stocks today, some posi-
tive and some merely passive. The
most significant fact in the days
greatly expanded dealings, however
was that United States Steel. Union

stocks for weeks past. This fact Of
fered convincing evidence that re-

Of wealthy spectators and bankers
who have practically carried the whole
of recent markets was in progress.
The disappointing action of Lehigh
Valley on it's Introduction the New
York stock exchange was a more pas
sive influence on the days weakness,
but not less effective on that account.
The closing price of Saturday in Phil
adelphia of 81 Ia, was translated in
to New York terms of 1873 1-2, there
fore, and the fluctuations were ac-
cordingly doubled in range. In addi-
capitalists active in Lehigh Valley and
in Rock Island, with a supposed sup
Elementary speculative interest in
Reading, would signalize the entrance
of the new stock by bullish demon
stration. Instead there seemed to be
efforts to take advantage of this ex-
pected demonstration to market
stocks. Lehigh Valley itself dropped
to 179 IL.
The suspicion that the sources of
the selling were the same as nearly all
of the recent buying constituted the
weakness of the market, which became
acute in the entire absence of demand
at offered prices. The fall in Read
ing Of 1-2 and Union Pacific and
United States Steel 8 3-3, were fairly
representative of the whole market.
There were many losses reaching three
points anZ some over five. Last prices
were about the lowest.

value $2.033,000. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.
