Half Thousand Applicants.
That there are plenty of men and wom-
en- who crave the chance for an education
along industrial lines and who have no
chance to get it except at night school
was shown by the fact that within two
weeks after the present makeshift night
school was opened at Mckinley Manual

thousand applicants for entrance.
The curriculum includes wood turning,
carpentry, blacksmithing. machine shop
practice. mechanical drawing. art metal

appropriation there should be added to

FOOTBALL MEN ADJOURN.
Committee Fails to Agree on Question
Of AboIishing Forward Pass.

NEW YORK, March 26.-The foot
ball rules committee, which has been

ing amendments to the rules which

adjourned late this afternoon TO meet
again In Philadelphia on April 90

They agreed on a number of changes
In the playing rules which will add 10

tons, which we're In dispute. went over
rntil next months meeting.
In amending the rules before adj
touring the committee removed the
Vineyard restriction on the man re-
ceiying the ball from the snapback.
IL was ruled that there must always
be seven men on the line OF scrim-

decided that the Flying tackle mus;

NEW A. A. A. RULES MAKE
FORMULATION DEFINITE
Every Possible Mishap 10 Given Ger
tain Value in Deducting From
the Cars Score.

The Contest Board OF the A. A. A.,
having In charge the Glidden tour. an
nounces new rules regarding penaliza-
lions.
The most important amendment for
1910 will be found in the adoption OF
the Fixed Penalty Schedule, which IS
applied al the final examination OF the
cars at the completion OF contest. In
this schedule each of the essential
parts of a car is given definite num-
Der of points penalty for defective
condition, greater or less, according
10 the whole makeup of the car and
the condition in which such part Is
found at the finish OF the contest.
The adoption OF this schedule at
once does away with the somewhat un-
certain and indefinite penalty of points
Of the 1909 rules, for time consumed
and money value of material used Ia
placing a car in safe and satisfactory
operating condition. and places each
and every contestant upon the same
footing, with the same penalties ap-
plying TO all for each defective AMI
damaged part which the contest may
develop; in other words. u reduces the
penalization scheme To as nearly as
possible an exact and known proposI
ton instead of an uncertain and vary
ing one.
The avoidance OF work on a car
after final examination and the cal
culation OF time consumed and frac
tiopal values OF material ,sed, enables
rapid determination OF the relativ'
merits Of each OF the cars and ensures
speedy settlement OF the confess
after the close of the hast days run
The elimination OF fractional penaliza
tions also facilitates the announce
ment OF the score OF the cars at the
end OF each days RIM during con
test.
To determine the operating condi
ton of AGAR at the conclusion OF a
contest, test of brakes. clutch trans
mission and motor are provided for
with suitable penalties for defective
operation.
