Foot Ball Rules.

Harry Miller, for four years halfback on
the University OF Notre Dame foot ball
team and mentioned as an all-western half
back for 1909. arrived In the city yesterday
afternoon to coach the Creight1a eleven
for the coming season. Miller is recog-
nzed as one OF the best foot ball players
produced in the west for many years. and
his presence as coach of the Blue and
white warriors should infuse new life into
that aggregation.
When asked regarding the new rules for
the coming year. Coach Miller said he be-
lieved the game would be as fast as ever,
and much danger would be eliminated by
the restriction Of the flying tackle. The
forward pass, in his opinion, would be used
more cautiously than in preceding years,
and that considerable time would be neces-
sary TO impress the new rules upon the
knights OF the pigskn.
