DANGER IS
LARGELY ELIMINATE
New Rules Put Good Samaritan
Angle to Great Game OF
GridirOn.

NEW YORK, Nov 5.-Thc new
football rules have played the role OF
the good Samaritan TO the tackles. BY
the elimination Of interlocked interfer'
ence and pushing and pulling tho man
with the ball, the mass play on tackle
has been deprived of one-half OF ITS
worth. No longer are these men called
TO stand the terrific battering which
attained its zenith last year. This has
brought about one of the most wei
come changes in football, for accidents
to tackles were frequent in 1909. The
death of Cadet Byrne Of the Army Is
recalled,
These rules lessening the burden or
the tackles should have been instituted
back in 1907, the second year of the
forward pass When the defense did
not have to figure on the ball shoot
ing over their heads. it was in the
right order of things to mass plays on
the tackles. 1t was the tackles func-
tion to break up these plays. His duty
ended there. The defensive halfback,
playing yard to his outside, tackled
threw the man with the ball himself,
but that was secondary. His duty
ended with spilliug the play: giving, the
halfback the opportunity for a clean
tackle.
But with the development OF, the for,
ward pass, the halfback inherited
other duties. He had TO play further
back and intercept such passes or else
block the man who was running to
make the catch This left the tackle
unsupported. His duties became over
whelming; the physical e1actions were
too great. Not only did he. have to
lie I'M all smnshes at his position, but
charge with his head back, watching
for a short forward pass.
AS a result the offense crashed into
him like great battering ram. BE
had to meet it alone. The halfback
was watching for forward pass. And
tbe fact that the tackle had to keer
his hand raised to watch for a short
forward pass made him susceptible 10

This year, however. the rules are Civ
ing signs of lessening this mass play
burden of the tackle. 1t is most

NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-San Francisco is

an expensive business. A telegram re-
ceived here last night announced that
San Francisco would raise $4,000 for
the tournament and that $4,000 Of this
would be allowed for the expenses OF the
aviators. Ten or @ dozen OF the big air

IMPROVEMENTS MADE
At STATE HATCHERY
Recently Constructed Trout
Runs Are Proving Very
Efficient.

Surprising improvements have been
made Al the state fish hatchery at Mur-
ray Superintendent Jacklin has been
carrying out a little scheme which when
completed will place the hatchery upon
a more attractive scale than ever The
ground surrounding the superintendent s
house, as well as on either side OF the
driveway and walks. has been nicely
sodded, and in addition to this num-
ber OF little improvements have been
carried out at various places.
The trout runs, those recently con-
structed OF cement, arc proving to be
efficiont in the extreme. AS Of old, the
trout were wont TO waIlow In the mud,
but at present the clean walls OF ce-
ment do much 10 give the fish an ap-
pcarance OF cleanliness and greatly add
10 the surroundings in general. Some
of the trout at the farm are large ones.
They have been fostcred year after year
with all possible care and at the state
fair n month ago attracted much at
tention.
During the past summer months many
important streams OF the state have been
stocked with young trout. The demand
has been so great. in fact. that War
den Joseph Smith and others have been
buslly engaged the biggest portion OF tho
summer In planting and stocking lakes
and atreams. Every important stream in
Utah has received its consignment from
the Murray, Panguitch or Springville
hatcheries.
