SUGGEST CHANGES
in FOOTBALL GAME
SOUTHERN COMMITTEE HAS
STRONG RECOMMENDATIONS TO
MAKE TO NATIONAL BODY
WOULD DIVIDE GAMES INTO
QUARTERS.

| The following are the more important
suggestions adopted by the Southern
Football committee, to be passed along
TO the national body:
l. That the game be divided into
quarters, and that it will last not long
er than sixty minutes.
2. That the referee be required to
report when any man is in bad physi-
cal condition to the faculty representa-
tive of the team.
3. That the method of scoring be
changed so that team gets one point
for reaching the 25-yard line, two for
reaching the 20-yard line, and SO on to
score Of six points for a touchdown.
these points not to be cumulative. AL
SO that goal, from touchdown be aboI-
ished.
4. That no player Of the team with
the ball be allowed to lay hands upon
the runner.
s. That there shall be no body
checking of the man receiving the for
ward pass, and that the player making
the catch shall not advance with the
ball.
6. That after two plays cross the
line of scrimmage less than five wards
out the next play must cross this line
more than five yards out.
z. That in the team on the offensive
seven men shall be in the line OF scrim-
mage and shall maintain their relative
positions to the center.
8. That all tandem plays in the
backfield be declared illegal.
8. That the line men be allowed to
drop back only for the purpose Of kick
ing.
10. That all incomplete forward
passes shall go as downs and shall have
no distance penalties attached. and the
ball shall be brought back to the place
where it was SNAPPED.
IL. It was also resolved that the
present onside kick Is source az
danger. and should be modified. also
that the penalties should be Increased
for the offense OF "piling up"
These suggestions, in the main, are
well made and 1t is more than probable
that several Will be adopted by the ma
tional body.

stole three bases, stealing home in the
fourth inning. Fred Clarke made his

Perhaps am going out OF my delc

the pugilistic game. but since 1 join
ed the all-star athletic troupe and
worked with Jeffries daily have be-
come greatly interested in boxing and
learned just how great man the re-
tired champion is. believe that / am
in a position to know as much about
Jeffs condition as any one as / have
worked with him every day for the
past eight weeks. In all Of the time
that have been with him have not
discovered any weakness in the retired
champions makeup, and can see nc
reason why he should not go into the
ring July 4 In the very best condi-
ton. l do not agree with the pessi-
n1i5ts that he has suffered greatly by
his long layoff from active pugilistic
duty, and / am firm in the belief that
he will be very nearly as good as the
Jeff who moved down Ruhlin, Fftz-
simmons, Corbett, Sharkey, ct al. II
Many questions have been raised
about Jeffries since he first announced
that he would fight Johnson. The cry
from every quarter Of the globe has
been: HE can't get back in shape. He
may be able to go few rounds, but
in a long fight he surely will be whip
ped by the colored fellow"
Now, all this may sound well to peo-
pie who do not know just how much
Of his old-time strength Jefries has
retained. This talk, no doubt, is a
good argument for the supporters of
Johnson, but it is not true. Jeffries
not only will be right, but the longer
the fight goes on the better chance he
will have. That sounds like a foolish
statement, doesn't It? Well, it isn't. and
there is good reason for believing
that JEFF is going to be the stronger at
the end of every round as the fight
progresses.
johnson Will Retreat, Not Jeff.
Johnson always has been defensive
fighter, He has allowed his opponents
to bring the battle to him and has
backed around the ring, cutting his
men down with uppercuts Now, he is
not going to be able to hurt jeff to any
great extent by this style of battle, be-
cause the latter, with his left hand
extended and pursuing his favorite
crouch method Of fighting, will leave
few vulnerable points exposed. Any one
who has followed athletics of any sort
knows that 1t Is much more wearing
on man to back up than to walk
forward. Johnson is going to back
up. That is the style he always has
pursued, and he will not change 1t for
Jeffries. The colored fellow backing
away from jeff is going to sap his
strength much more rapidly than his
foe. The latter. of course, is not going
to gain strength as the fight progresses.
but he will conserve more of his ener-
gy than the present champion, and this
is going to tell as the fight mounts
UP into double figures in rounds.
There has been so much talk about
Jeff's endurance being bad that think

A mistake has crept into print as
to the record of Horse. jr.. the PAGER
that dragged broken wheel oyer ha,r
mile in his race at Fargo last summer
and won. He has been credited with a
mark of 2:121-4. whereas his mark IS
2:13 Ia. II is generally believed he
can beat his record by several seconds
when they get ready to turn him
loose. We shall see what the coming
season will bring forth.
It is interesting, and somewhat
amusing, TO note the difference OF
opinion among eminent writer's on the
subject of shoeing the horse with a.
high or low heel Some claim that the
high heel is bad for the horse with
weakness (knee-sprung) that 1t has a.
tendency to still farther contribute to
his troubles, while other eminent
writer's are as strong in their opinions
that the low heel is bad for the horse
There is one fact which seems in
conference.-the, 1. e., that the low heel
and long toe are strain on the ten
dons. The great Robert Bonner went
so far as to say that it was an inn
possibility for any horse to throw out
a SPAWN If he was shod with high
heels and short toes. "You pay your

A. K. Ware, Of Northfield, MINI. in
writing of the racing last season says,
among other things: when our fair
associations have the nerve to arrange
classes for free-legged PAGERS and
classes for hobbled PAGERS by them
selves, then we shall see a gradual
abolition of the hobbies.
Why is 1t the fair associations of
North Dakota do not do more to en-
courage the breeding and development
of the light harness horse in this state?
They will all claim that they are deep
ly interested in the DEVELOPMENT Of the
horse interests but when 1t comes to
delivering the goods, 1. e.. putting up
purses for the home grown product
they are woefully weak The breeder
who would like to develop his young
sters confronted by the fact that he
is forced to start right in and race
him against seasoned old campaigners
"a heart breaking and discouraging
condition right from the start 1t looks
as though there was too much interest
in the purses and too little in the
horse developing interests. In other
words, TO put 1t plainly, the develop
ment of the youpgster is lost sight of
in an overweaning desire to get class IS

Especial Correspondence.)

NEW YORK, April 11.-Thos.
Keenan, and Chas. Cunningham
are two of the most rambunctious
policemen New York ever saw.
They took notion into their
heads that the law against selling
liquor on Sunday really meant
something; there are hundreds OF
saloons in the city that sell in
back rooms on the Sabbath day,
and the two policemen, when they
we're supposed to be asleep at
home one Sunday, started out to
arrest saloon-keepers. They had
no orders.
The captain of the district to
which they brought their prisoners
was astounded that saloons we're
open in HIS district on Sunday.
He was forced, by the actions OF
Keenan, and Cunningham, to send
out his reserves to hunt up Sun
day saloons, and they found plenty
of them.
who's dom all this?" roared
the saloon interests.
The mayor wasn't doing It; the
commissioners of police weren't
doing it; you couldn't blame the
captains of the districts-it was
just the two rambunctious police
men.
The commissioner of police call
ed them to his office and told
them they were simply running
discipline. "Wait ORDERS" he
said.
But they didn't. Out they start
! ed again the next Sunday. They
arrested IL more saloonkeepers
in another part of town. The
newspaper reporters and squads
of camera men trailed them.
Their evidence was always
good; the judges invariably i'm
posed sentences on the saloon
keepers.
The next Sunday when they
started out they found they
couldn't get into many saloons
The Liquor Dealers association
had pasted their photographs on
the rear door of every saloon for
the information of bartenders.
BY this time the two policemen
had upset the whole Sunday sa-
