Princeton Soccer team, Captain
Frank Ober in center, with ball.

New York, Jan. 6.-When the foot
ball rules committee meets early In
January the problem of the game must
be threshed out. Football will be
modified. that is certain, but just how
far will the elements Of soccer and
rugby be allowed to encroach? rms
is the question that must be solved
and the task of each member of the
rules committee is worse than the
congressman from the lonesome dis
trict who wants a new postoffice in
the lonesomest town. Letters are
pouring i'm thick and fast with the
suggestions that the writer's think VIII
solve the puzzle that now confronts
the football world.
Soccer football is fast gaining n
hold in the American colleges. While
rugby is the game that has been adop-

soccer has been developed among the
eastern and middle western institu-
tons. and this is the territory In

FITZSIMMONS' CORRECT
AGE NEARLY FIFTY-THREE

There seems to be quite a mistake
in Fitzsimmons' age even among the
records. says Otto Floto i'm the Detroit
Times. In the record books il is stated
he was born I'm 1862, which would bring
him around the 4s-year mark. and
this Is the age that Fitz himself has
given out for years. But little in
cdent which / am about to recall will
bring him to about SO years
Immediately after the battle with
Jack Dempsey I was his manager and
took him TO New York. our opening
engagement was at Miners Bowery
theater and while in his dressing
room one afternoon just before the
matinee a rugged looking fellow came
in and shook him by the hand. Bob
seemed quite surprised for a moment
and then stammered, my brother
! Charlie" Yes, that Is who II was, his
brother Charlie. The latter had re-
NAMED I'm England when Fitz went
to Australia and had not seen his
then famous brother for years. They
gossiped for n time and then Charlie
said: II say. Bob, you're well To tho
thirty-four year mark now, amt you p
Bob REDEEMED up and looked around
saying, no he was only 81. But
Charlie insisted that he was 80 and
that Bob was the older. This was In
March. 1891. which would make hin
SO the coming spring
Therefore If Bob is SO how in tho
world could he hope to win over q
youngster like Lang?

few CHANGES ARE LIKELY
IN RULES FOR BASEBALL
Conservative Policy Which Has Been
Maintained for the Past Twenty
Years Will Likely Be Con-
tinued This Season.

The committee on rules of both
major leagues will meet early this
year to consider the many suggestions
that have been made to improve the
game" Highly improbable it is that
any heroic departure from the present
rules and regulations will be made.
For the past twenty years the inn
portant changes that have been made
in the playing rules of the game can
be counted on the fingers OF one hand.
They are:
Bringing the catcher up close behind
the batter at all stages Of the game.
The adoption of the foul strike rule.
Increasing the pitching distance from
45 to 60 feet.
Making more strict the rule against
balks.
But what a world of suggestions
have been made to the rule makers i'm
these two decades! Some of them
have been:
To put much larger amount of rub
Der i'm the ball.
To require the outfelders TO stand
in prescribed positions until the ball
has been hit.
To do away with the shortstop, thus
opening the way to many more safe
hits.
TO have a bench batter hit for the
pitcher.
To allow a batter his base on three
balls"
To increase the number of strikes
necessary to a strike out" to four.
To allow batters the choice of run
ing the bases in either direction. lie;
from the plate to first or from tho
plate to third. and so on around.
Requiring the outfelders to pla!
without gloves.
And so on. ad inflnitum.
The rule makers are not likely L
do anything very desperate this win
ter, They may modify the foul strik
rule. eliminating from it's provision
fouls batted to the outfield. They ma.
consider, but are not likely to giv'
serious heed TO Geo. Tebeau's propo
sition to increase the size of the bal
and bat; they may declare against tn
feet-flrst slide; they may prohibit tn
pitcher from warming up" befor
serving the ball To the first batter
But the probabilities are that no NOR
than one of these changes will be re
ported back to the leagues with tn
committees Endorsement.
There is no general clamor or dc
mand for changes i'm the rules. "Giv
us players, the rules will take care q
themselves" say the people who sup
port the great American game
