MISS ROSE /. FRITZ.

Every student OF stenography and
typewriting inclined to be discouraged
should be spurred on to renewed eff
forts by the story of Miss Rose l..
Fritz, champion typist of the world.
Six years ago, when 10 years old,
Miss Fritz began the study of stenog-
raphy and typewriting. In 10 weeks
she was writing 12O words a minute in
shorthand and 60 words a minute on
the typewriter.
In November of 1905, when she was
only 16, Miss Fritz entered typewrit-
ing contest, held in Madison Square
Garden under the auspices of the Ma
tional Bureau shows, in which she
won second place, competing the then
world champion
Her first brilliant success came in
1906, when at the Chicago business
shows she led her nearest competitor
by 1900 words and won two champion
ships-the American ladies' and the
blindfold In this last, with eyes COW
cred, she wrote 4.457 words in one
hour.
FOR the last three years Miss Fritz
has held the international champion
ship, her last record being 6,1S5 words
i'm one hour, the net amount after five
words had been deducted for each err
ror.

FOOTBALL RULE MAKERS
WILL MEET FEBRUARY 10

New York, Jan. 26.-From Phlla-
delphia comes the word that the inter-
collegiate football rules committee will
meet In this city on February IS and
10. As was said some time ago, the
IA members of the committee were ask
ed to suggest dates for the meeting,
and ii Is TO be presumed that most
OF them named February IS.
II is certain that at least two days
viii be needed for the first session Of
the committee, which hardly can get
along without extended consideration
OF the changes that will have TO be
made. The committeeman have re-
ceived from many sources large wads
OF suggestions about altering the
game, and to select from these the
workable ideas, to reconcile them with
their own individual theories about
what football should be i'm 1910 and
subsequently to harmonize IA separate
sets of plans of the entire rules com
mittee is something that is puzzling
enough TO think Of, and probably Is
worse to accomplish.
The persons who have In charge the
task of making over the game are
Prof. l.. NJ Dennis, Cornell, chairman;
e. X. Hall, Dartmouth, secretary;
Walter Camp. Yale; John c. Bell
Pennsylvania; II. B. Hackett. West
Point; Prof. c. w. Savage Oberlin;

JOY Miller, the former Michigan foot

Miller's friends in Detroit know moth

fact that his departure from Detroit
for an indefinite period was known by
some of them to have taken place
