OLD YALE CAPTAINS URGE REFORM IN
 FOOTBALL
Gordon Brown Says Return to Rules of 20 Years Ago Is Necessary and Ray Tompkins Would Take Up Rugby.

New Haven. Feb. 3.-Former Yale football Captains are out strong for sweeping football reform Gordon Brown, Captain of the famous 1901 eleven, writes to the Yale Daily News that a return to the general rules of twenty years ago is necessary and Ray Tompkins, 'S4, wants Yale to take up the Rugby game. Gordon Brown is nephew of J. Peirpont Morgan. He writes
 My suggestions about football sum- med up in one sentence are to go back to the game Sas it was played in the early EOS with few changes. The changes I would advocate are in de- tail the following:
 Abolish the neutral zone and forward pass forward of the line of scrimnage.
 Require the attacking side to have at least seven men on the line of scrlm- mage before putting the ball in play, the man who puts the ball in play to be the centre of these seven three men to be at least three and a half yards back of the line, and the eleventh man to be anywhere between these two former groups. In other words the old-fashioned regular formation to be the only one allowed.
 Allow a forward pass anywhere back LII l10 l1IlG Ol SCI1IIluldSO lO ally IlldAI.
 Reduce the distance to be gained to sevene yards.
 The onside kick to be left unchang- CT.
 A man catching a kick to be free from being tackled until he has taken two steps in any direction. If he he's ltates oyer five seconds the ball to be down.
 No one to be allowed to push or pull one of his own side with the ball un- til he has advanced over the line of scrimmage.
 Ray Tompkins says:
 It must not be forgotten that our game is a development of the Rugby game, and the process has been going on for thirty years. This development has been a persistent and consistent one and our present game has come to be about as different from the Eng fish game as our American methods are from English Methods.
 I am further of the strong opinion that the Tnglish Rugby game should be introduced and developed in every college and school so that those col lege authorities. the boys parents, and the boys who do not like our present game can develop it under the English rules. This will enable the two games of football to be developed to a high degree of proficiency and thus settle any controversies, one of the most prominent of which is, which is the more dangerous of the two?

BOXING

Pal Moore, the Philadelphia ban tam. who may be champion some day,
 will be put to real test when he
 meets Jimmy Walsh of Boston in a ten round bout at the Olympic A. L..
 in Harlem on February Fl. The
 match was made yesterday and will doubtless excite unusual interest.
 Walsh is 24 years old and has been
 actively engaged in pugilism since 1 1901. In that time he has defeated | or held his own with the pest pan | tams, barring Coulon, whom he has
 never met. He has tackled Diggef
 Stanley, Englands bantam champion, {! four times The first bout was Tn | London and Walsh lost a decision in | fifteen rounds. The second contest
 was a fifteen round draw, decided In
 England, and the third, of the same length, which took place in Chelsea, | Mass, was a victory on points Tor
 Walsh. The last time they met was | in London, nearly a year ago, and the 1 decision was a draw at the end or the fifteenth round. Walsh is regard | ed by many as having @ better rlgnl | to the bantam title than Coulon, so | that Moore will probably have his hands full.
 A sporting man received a letter from a Frisco promoter yesterday in which it was predicted that before long Tex Rickard would be thrown overheard by both Jeffries and John son: that Jeffries had soured on the Salt Lake City proposition and did rot intend to let Gleason receive the cold shoulder. It was also stated in the letter in case of split between
 Gleason and Rickard T. D. Sullivan,
 as stakeholder, would decide in favor of the pugilists. It is understood that Pickard will receive a substantial offer to withdraw from the match;
 that if he agrees to step down and
 and out he will get back his $20,000
 forfeit and a $20,000 bonus to cover
 his expenses. But those who know
 Rickard insist that he will make
 lot of trouble if the fighters do not stand by him. Incidentally it may be
 said that the methods employed in arranging the big match indicate
 generaly lack of experience and
 diplomacy Some of the semi-pro- fessional promoters would have dis
 played better judgment, it is believed.
 The Nelson Wolgast forty five round fight for the lightweight championship of the world will take place in the arena on the Alameda baseball grounds, California, on the afternoon of February 22. This was announced today by Promoter Sid Hester after a conference with the champion, who arrived here this morning.

and they may also be repeated upon

method of decoration is preferred to a
