Will MAKE few CHANGES
IN 1911 CRlDlR0N RULES

Chicago, H., Nov. 2S.-That the "bia
eight" faculty representatives viii
sanction another year of new" foot
ball when they meet in Chicago next
week is the belief of the University ol
Chicago authorities. Coach Stagg and
his colleagues will stand for contin-
ued trial of the present status on the
ground that they have proved suni-
cient To reduce gridron inquiries 60 a
marked extent.
The various conference colleges
have not raised the question OF playing
rules yet, but their action of last year
in forwarding a demand for a safer
game to the committee gives an inn
portant angle to the meeting of De-
cember 3.
1T cannot be denied that accidents
Of all sorts have been less frequent
this year. and this is owing largely
to the 1910 changes" said Coach Stage.
Il take no stock i'm the statement that
the open-fleld game has increased the
injuries. ] have heard such an objec-
ton, but it does not hold good for such
football as ] have seen or heard of.
81 do not think the abolishing of the
flying tackle had anything TO do with
reducing injuries. but the rules against
pushing and pulling were effective.
These rules should be retained Every
thing points to the success Of the pres
cnt style of game on the score OF in
iuries."
Coach Stage has some rule changes
in mind for the coming session OF the
rules committee but has not had time
to formulate them. He admits that
number of notifications would he ben
ehcial and will have his share 60
spring at the gathering. As far as the
essentially safe" statutes are con-
cerned, however. the maroon coach
thinks the officials will retain them
without question.
The proposal TO return to the old
style championship schedules next
season has the support of the maroon
student body and may be accepted by
the board of physical culture. The
students argue that the title games
could be played next year without the
feature Of too much ri /
valry, to which the professors took OK T
reption when they ruled out the west
ern championship.

OlYMPIAD WOULD ATTRACT
Big CROWDS TO CLEVELAND

Cleveland, o., Nov 2S.-The worlds
Olympic meet i'm Cleveland i'm 1915
would mean the expenditure of ovei
"A half million dollars. and would bring
between $4,000 and 100000 visitors here
from all parts of the world
Cleveland's Endorsement for the meet
is the first step The next one will
be to have the meet come to America
The A. A. u. will make hard fight t.
get it.
The olympic meet is confined to am
ateurs. The athletes receive medals
The athletes are brought to the place
of the meet at the expense of the or
ganization that holds IL. 1t is estim-
ated that it would cost n quarter Of i
million dollars to bring the worlds
stars here
The organization holding the meet
gets its money back by charging al
mission to the games.
A stadium to seat 100000, which
would be counted on as that daily at
tendance would be necessary to break
even. a stadium could not be built Tor
less than 100000 according to George
Collister Of the Cleveland Athletic club
A swimming pool is necessary, as
there are a number Of water events
The games include field events, wres-
Ting shooting. gymnastics. bicycle ra-
ces and a marathon race.
The length of the meet is two weeks
The London meet i'm 1908 was July
1926.
The London meet had $500 athletes
from 20 countries The stadium seated
$4,000. and had standing room for 20,-
900. The central lawn, where the neld
events were held, was 210 yards long
and 100 yards wide. A swimming pool
326 feet long and so feet wide was built
on one side. n cinder path circled the
field. The meet did not pay, but that
was probably due to its being poorly
advertised.
The first olympic meet was held 776
b. G. Meets have been held off and on
ever since. The games were revived
in 1896. and the first modem rect held
i'm Athens Paris had the meet in 1900.
st. Louis i'm 1904. and London I'm 1908,
The next one will be i'm Stockholm in
1912.
The government is expected to give
100000 If the 1916 meet is held in
Cleveland.
The a. A. u. is working to have the
meets held every two years instead of
every four years. If the plan succeeds
and America gets the next meet. the
meet will be in 1912 and the
next one one here i'm 1914.

MONEY FOR RAILROADS.
College Athletics Mean Big Outlay for
Transportation.

1t is reported that IL costs Harvard
nearly $4,000 to run the foot ball team,
but the gate receipts pay for this as
they do for most branches of college
sports. Rowing. however, is all outlay
with no revenue. and IL costs a large
amount to support the crew squad,
made up, at most of the rowing uni
versities. of ut least four Fights and
two fours. This is what has temper

ARE UNCERTAIN
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DECIDE
HoNORS IN FoOTBALL-MUcH
DIFFERENT FROM BASE
BALL.

The football season is practically
finished. and certain colleges are as
sorting their claims 10 Championships
Of one sore or another. Every yea
an attempt is made % decide upon
q team which IS regarded as the
best in the country or in some section.
Al best, all this Is guesswork
1t is little difficult 10 see why
there should be any football cham

based upon college rivalry.
The schedules OF the different teams,
even in the same conference or or
ganization, are not of equal difficulty.
The season is too short to admit of an
extended schedule. Colleges cannot
unite ana play round robin for the
championship. There isn't time enough.
and the teams couldn't stand the
strain anyhow. Football is a sport i'm
which the elevens must work up to a
climax by means Of a carefully ar
ranged preliminary schedule.
1t would seem that any college
should be satisfied to stand on it's rec
ord against it's time-h onored rivals.
and be content to refrain. from talk
about championships.
But the discussion for 1910 has al
ready started Harvard is acclaimed
the champion eleven of the east In
the east they call the Crimson cham
pions Of the country. why, pray tell?
Harvard has not played a single west
ern team. For that matter the Grim
son has not met several OF the strong
teams of the east. notably Penn. Navy
and Princeton.
But to get back to the point. Isn't
IL true that college championships are
purely matters OF speculation like all
star teams? When one team beats an
other the victor may be regarded
rightly as the better of the two But
why assume from that victory or by
comparing scores that the eleven is
the champion Of the state or the east
or west or what not?
We have no reason To believe that
Harvard could defeat Michigan or
Minnesota, that Michigan could defeat
Princeton or Yale. that Oberlin could
defeat Denison or Wesleyan. And re-
member also that If any of these sug-
gested games had been added TO the
schedules of the so-cnlled champions
the whole situation would have been
changed Immediately. Football teams
have To reach their zenith on n GER
tain day for which they make long
preparation. They cannot hold their
form like a baseball nine.
Presumably each college arranges
its schedule with the idea Of beating
certain rivals. Other games are put
In for practice or to furnish the filthy
lucre. Harvard wants to beat Dart
mouth and Yale: Yale wants to de-
feat Harvard and Princeton: Mich
igan wants TO win from Penn and Min
nesota. Why not rate them on that
basis? Each eleven is the superior Of
the teams it has defeated.

BROWN WISHES
HE COULD BAT
CUB PITCHER DEPLoREs WEAK
NESS OF SLABMEN WITH THE
WlLLoW-GlvEs SOME OF
THE REASONS.

"The batting helplessness Of pitch
crs," remarks Mordocai Mrown. the
great three fingered hurlcr OF the
Cubs has been rich joke for 80
years, and, no doubt, will continue to
be so long as the old game is played.
Why are pitchers so feeble with the
stick? why are they lemons with One
bat and on the bases?
The average man outside the game
would think that pitchers should he
the best batsmen In the world. They
know all about the tricks of throwing
the ball, they should know just what
Is being sent by the other pitcher, and
therefore, being educated. as II were
they ought to be exceptionally good
hitters. But, as a rule, they are mis-
cradle punks with the stick. and are
getting worse. instead of better. as
the years go by. Yes. ! KNOW hit

be a Delehanty.
"The reasons for the weak batting
of pitchers are numerous; so numer-
Gus, In fact. that any one of them
would seem wholly logical as an cx-
cuse. For one thing, the pitcher cs-
pOcially in hard, close game, is
about all i'm as he comes back from the
slab at the end OF every inning lie
is painting, half dizzy. nerves and
muscles all throbbing, and how can n
man i'm that condition be expected to
go up and hit the ball?
Then, again, many hurlcrs are spc
cialists and students of pitching and
nothing but pitching. They spend all
their practice time learning the tricks
of the slabman's trade, those and moth
ing more. They can't bat. simply be-
cause they don't know how.
Still others disdain batting on the
principle that they are earning their
salaries by pitching and nothing but
pitching-that. they, do enough along
those lines, and that it would be fool
ish for them to even attempt to bat
Still more OF the. slabmcn allege that
batting, and running the bases tires
them out so that they can not do their

are really serving their clubs most
faithfully when they do not try 10

"All of these reasons arc logical and
self-explanatory OF course, pitcher
who can bat has big advantage over
