NEW YORK SCHOOLS
TO PLAY FOOTBALL
Authorities Decide That Re-
viSed Rules Make Ii
Safe Enough.

NEW YORK. May 30-Following the
action of the intercollegiate Rules Com
mittee IN revising the football code, the
High School Games Committee Of the
Public Schools Athletic League has de-
cided the gridirOn game under the new
collegiate rules will be safer than last
year, and yesterday issued approval of
the game for the local schoolboys next
season.
Prior 10 the meetings Of the commit
tee Of collegiate football doctors in Phil
adelphia and New York. where they re-
vised the rules TO eliminate the danger,
II was thought by scholastic admirers
that football. which was the only draw
ing card among the high school ath-
letic activities, would be abolished and
a supposedly milder, but apparently far
more dangerous game, lacrosse. would
be substituted.
The Public Schools Athletic League
committee suggests certain rules for all
schools before teams be permitted 10
play, but makes no addition or change
in the actual football code. The restric-
tons placed on the coaches and the
managers Of the teams, which all are
made for the safeguarding of the play
ers, surely will result in fewer injuries
than were recorded last year.
At the close Of last season, Superin-
tendent Maxwell of the board of educa-
ton. led the attack on football. and
though James L. Sullivan upheld the
boys end Of the argument. Maxwell won
out, and II was asserted officially that
none Of the managers would be per
mitted to arrange a schedule for the
coming season, and that the game would
be abandoned unless a special schOolbOy
code could be arranged. Yesterdays &C
ton brought glee 10 the schoolbOy play
ers and praises for Sullivan, who is
looked on as the schoolboy champion,
because Of the victory.
II is understood the action Of the
Public School Athletic League commit
tee was based on the suggestion of A.
A. Stagg Of Chicago, DR.. W. L. Dudley
Of Vanderbilt University and 9. W. Saw
age Of Oberlin College. who drew up a
plan at the recent meeting Of the COM
mittee in Philadelphia to control the ex-
cesses and eliminate the dangers Incl
dent to scholastic football.

insurgency and the Courts

Sooner or later-and probably sooner-the strug-
gle OF insurgency will center about the courts of the
United States, be they county, state or federal
OPPORTUNITY indeed did the Washington state
democratic convention yesterday adopt the non
partisan judiciary ticket formulated on Monday.
Condemnation of the republican machine attempt to
the supreme court at the instance of special in
terest was another outburst which proves that moth
ing will stop the spirit of insurgency which is sweep
ing the country.
For so long have the political pirates and machine
thugs held sway that they prone to sit back in the
full bellidness of power achieved by crooked meth
DDS and smile sarcastically at what is called insur-
gency. insurgency is but a name But it is prob
ably as good any other to express the life which
has been thrown into the nation by progressives who
have hurled themselves against the allied powers
Where there is smoke there is usually flame and
the numerous instances of absurd unjust and con-
tempt1ble court decisions which have to light
recently send an ugly glitter that very shortly will
be the object of keen and well directed scrutiny
Because the political Captain Kids have long held
sway is no sign that fine big reef may not be taken
In their sails. Politicians become heavy paunched
from the fat feeding Of mellow years. Such is the
money means is theirs.
There is only way out of it
Your insurgent, lean, thinking and hungry looking
perhaps, but with the clear cut political jaw as OPP
posed to the Jows of bOssism; with sinews of youth
and slender wasted because he hasn't gulped down
the spos of political Hastings is the man who will
prod the big fellow and topple him as he wad-
dies beneath his weight
About the courts of the country will come the real
struggle of insurgency
That is why the action of the Washington state
democratic convention in adopting the ticket of the
nonpartisan judiciary is of greatest significance It
shows the sweep of things. '''t' -
