Nov you sit here, Edna" he said,

fall down the hill, and you can see
it 60"
As the little child sat down upon
a log she laughed in her fathers
face, and the latter, after patting her
on the head. went to the tree to fih-
ish the work of telling it.
Although the tree had been nicked
on the downhill side, and there was
no doubt in the mind of the father
but that it would fall in that direc-
ton, by one of those unaccountable
freaks of fate the huge tree tottered
and then, to the horror of all, fell
the other way.
1t occurred so suddenly that Mr..
Bull had barely time to jump aside.
The father, with feelings of horror,
saw the great tree swoop down upon
his child and hide it from his view.
Wildly he ran to the spot where
he had last seen his daughter, and
with the strength of the men he
frantically tore aside the huge
branches, and with fervent, half-ut-
tered prayers, he dragged the little
one out.
1t was too late. One of the great
branches of the tree had struck the
child with terrific force, crushing in
the little skull and the victim was
unconscious.

Big-Club Football Talk

mid-season revision of the rules.
They are worrying more at Harvard
over the game with Dartmouth than
the one with Yale. The former eleven
is one of the sensations of the season,
and they displayed enough football in
the game against Princeton at the Polo
grounds to keep the coaches at Cam
bridge hustling TO whip the big Grim
son team into the best possible shape
for the contest.
Roth Sherwin and Ingersol, who
played great football for Dartmouth
last season, are playing better than
ever this season. The team has
both spirit and dash and a pair of flut
ends.
Dartmouth always plays her best
game against Harvard and it looks as
though this falls contest will be more
bitterly fought than ever
The annual struggle between the
Army and Navy this year at Franklin
field in Philadelphia, which winds up
the season, will likely be only a spec

itself figures to be a walkover for the
West pointers, who have one of the
best gridircn machines of the season

TEW YORK, N Y, Nov. b.-lt fs
nj Yale's off year in football Botf
- Princeton and Harvard appear
to have their annual struggles with
the big Blue team slashed to the mast
already They don't know what it is to
quit at New Haven, however, and the
Bulldog may show up stronger in her
ten final games of the season than is
expected.
There are two distinct reasons why
Yale hasn't>been successful this season
One. because she has been woefully
slow in getting on" to the new rules,
and secondly. because the material is
far below par.
yale should have regular coach
like Harvard has in Percy Houghton
and not appoint the previous seasons
captain" is one cry heard along Chapel
street. Now this is a joke. Ted Coy,
greatest of all football players, is do
ing just as much as any other man
could do. He is not at fault for the
New Havenites' showing. In fact, he
deserves great credit for the little real
football that has been displaced by the
~earers of the Blue.
Camr's Complaint.
The writer asked Mr. Camp what he
thought Of the new rules now that they
ha<s~been given q pretty thorough
test To my surprise he made a weak
complaint. He said:
suppose a punter. standing behind
his own goal, kicks, and one of the
backs Of his own side is interfered with
by an opposing player inside the 20
yard zone2 The rule gives the ball to
the offended side, where the penalty
occurred; that is, behind the goal posts
i'm other words, counts as a touch
down. This is clearly too great a pen
atty for what might have been acct
dental Interference.
The new rules in prohibiting mass
and interlocking plays have clearly
lessened the number of injuries. There
are, however, many infringements of
the new rules. Some of them are de-
tected; others are not. 1t is difficult
for the officials to see all the viola
tions of the rules. There is much hold
ing in the rush line, and the receiver
of the forward passes is not protected
as fully as the new rules meant him
to be. The 20-yard zones are not
watched closely enough in all cases.
Everywhere 1 went L urged players and
officials to live up to the spirit OF the
new rules as the best the rules COM
mittee could frame at the present |
