New York. Jan. 6.-When the foot
ball rules committee meets early in
January the problem of the game
must be threshed out. Football will
be modified, that is certain, but just
how far will the elements of soccer
and rugby be allowed to encroach?
This is the question that must be
solved, and the task of each member
of the rules committee is worse than
the congressman from the lonesome
district who wants a new postoffice in
the lonesomest town. Letters are
pouring in thick and fast with the
suggestions that the writer's think
will solve the puzzle that now con-
fronts the football world.
Soccer football is fast gaining a
hold in the American colleges. While
rugby is the game that has been
adopted by the colleges on the Pa
cific coast, soccer has been developed
among the eastern and middle west
ern institutions, and this is the ter
ritory in which any game that is to
supplant football, If there IS substi-

BURLINGTON MAY LOSE GAS.
Company Threatens to Leave Unless
Permitted to Raise Rates.

Permitted to Raise Rates.
Burlington, Kan, Jan. 6.-There
are a lot of people in this city who
would be willing to give part of a
weeks salary to know whether Judge
Dennis Dryer is trying to run bluff
on them OF not. The judge is the lead
ing stockholder in the gas company
which has been supplying the needs
of Burlington for some time.
The franchise held by the company
expires In the near future and the
Judge says that unless the council per-
mits the company to raise the rate
from % cents to 35 cents per thousand
feet, the whole works will be torn
down in the spring and taken to Par
sons.
There are a number of people who
think the company is blufflng in regard
to taking the plant away, but they
hardly dare to take a chance and call
the bluff, for if it didn't happen to be
one the situation would be far from
ludicrous There is some talk of pre-
senting a petition to the council re-
questing that the raise in price be
allowed.

Mayor Says Money Sent Foreign Mis-
sions Should Be Kept at Home.
wichita Kan, Jan. 6.-Mayor
Davidson believes that Wichita people
are sending too much money to for
eign missions and that they should
keep some of the money at home and
invest it in building and maintaining
institutions which will help the boys
and girls at nome. He thinks TINS
city should have an institution on the
order of the House of Good Shepherd
at Kansas City, and he also believes
there should be a hospital owned by
the city in which the INDECENT sick
could be cared for.
The mayor said: Wichita needs
two institutions: One where poor
| people afflicted with tuberculosis can
be cared for. and one where incorrigi-
Bile girls can be sent. There Is enough
money sent out of the city every year
to go a long way toward building such
| institutions"
He objects to sending girls to the
reform school. The mayor expects to
get the citizens interested in the mat
ter without antagonizing foreign mis-
sionary workers too much.

is managing a team 1t is easy. All that
is required, usually, Is to show a letter
from another manager offering more
money and the players demands are
acceded to. And so it is that every
manager has to write letters making
offers he knows he would not pay, to
players who are now playing on other
teams and the management usually
comes across with an advance in wages.
In case there is any hesitancy in such
cases the player produces the letter and
there is evidence before the manage
ment that the player can get more
money. It's a difficult task to tell the
real offer from the fakes, but baseball

Just now the revision of football is
the problem that is causing college
students and graduates worry. AT
the meeting of the intercollegiate
meeting held in New York late in De-
cember the problem was passed up
to the football rules committee, but
with orders to revise and eliminate
some of the dangerous features of the
game. Consequently the leading foot
ball authorities of the country have
been eagerly sought to secure their
opinions on the changes.
Introduction of both rugby and
soccer features have been advocated
in many instances. Rugby is the
nearer resemblance to the present
American college game in that the
ball may be carried by members of
the teams. The experts were given
an opportunity to see two of the best
Canadian teams at this game, after
the close of the football season, but
the general verdict was that there
was not the opportunity for scientific
work that the American game affords.
