NEW YORK, Feb. 5-A radical re-
vision Of football is under advisement
| by the intercollegiate rules committee
III charge. Greater safety for the play
or and more variety for the spectator
are felt to be essential if tho game
is to be permitted by public opinion 10
| live.
The rules committee adjourned to-
night until March %, after appointing
| a subcommittee to consider three plans
| of reorganization. The sub committee
| is composed of A. a. Stagg, University
of Chicago; DR.. w. j.. Dudley, Wander
bilt university, Nashville, Tenn, and
o. W. Savage, Oberlin, O.
When the committee reconvenes 1t
will pass formally on recommendations
decided upon in the meantime by the
sub committee.
In the main, tho committee feels that
injuries TO players are largely due, not
so much to mass plays, as to savage
tackles.
No Diving Tackles.
Accordingly. it Is recommended that
there be no more diving tackles; that
rigid physical examination of all can
didates be insisted upon with medical
supervision of all PLAYERS throughout
tho season; that buifeting with the
shoulders Of ends racing down the field
after the ball be abolished. and that
the back when he receives n punt be
protected, on the other hand, from un-
necessary violence by the ends.
Under ono of ihc three plans sug-
gested halves would be shortened from
thirty-tve to thirty minutes, with fif-
teen minutes intermisslon, and these
halves themselves split again into four
periods of fifteen minutes play, with
intermissions of five minutes.
The three plans upon which the sub
committee Will report provide in sub
stance for the following changes Of
alignment and play;
First plan.
First-Seven men on the scrimmage
line.
Sccond-no pushing or pulling of the
man with the ball.
Third-Prohibition of diving tackles.

Fifth-Players going down the field

Scventh-F'irst man receiving the ball
to be allowed To carry it anywhere.
Eighth--Forward pass allowed over
any part OF the line to men on ends
Of the line or behind the lines when
the ball is put in play.

specified, play 10 be resumed by the
side in possession of the ball when

COTTON CROP WILL BE SHORT
Drouth Playing Havoc in Texas and
Oklahoma. High Prices
Expected.

The weekly cotton letter of Latham,
Alexander & Co., of New York says
The continuance of dry, hot weather
in Texas and Oklahoma and fear of a
drouth in these states, stimulated buy
ing of cotton this week on larger
scale than at any time this year, parti-
cularly of the new crop, and sub
stantial gains were made and firmly
held.
The evening up of the long and short
accounts caused considerable irregu-
larity in the old crop option but the
advantage lay altogether with the
bulls and the shorts were compelled
to pay dearly for their misiudgment of
last seasons conditions.
II is becoming generally recognized
that the growing crop sustained seri-
Gus damage during July from eXces-
siye rains over the greater part OF the
belt east of the Mississippi and the UNI
official estimates now being circulated
are very much lower than last months.
That we shall have crop of not
more than twelve million bales seems
probable now and unless Texas and
Oklahoma get rain within the near
future it is likely to be considerably
less. In view of last years shortage
crop of under twelve million bales
will necessarily result in very high
prices and trade interests in the best
position to appreciate this simltion

Mr.. H. E. Singleton of Collin county
is the most noted hog expert in Texas

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
AL TRAIN.

The event of today is the visit OF
the northumberland train. 1t
may surprise some of our readers that
the cost of this train is rather more
than eight hundred dollars per day,
vet such is the case, according to
figures given to the press by Col T.
]. Anderson, of the Sunset Central
lines. The entire cost for the nine
days is estimated at over $1,000.
Whether or not the result will justi-
fly this expenditure depends on the
farmers, for whose benefit it was
planned. If they take the interest that
it is hoped they will, improved meth
DDS of culture will result in larger
yields and thus the tonnage of the
railroad will be increased. 1t is
worthy of serious thought on the part
of the farmer that although neither
he nor the state pays any part of the
expenses he is the first and greatest
beneficiary, while the profit of the
railroad depends entirely on the use
he makes of the opportunity it offers
him free of charge. Educatiny the
farmers along its line is what the rail
road is striving for.
incidentally the farmers college is
both a participant in the expense and
a beneficiary. OF the thirteen lee
turers A. and NJ. furnishes eleven TO-
gether with all the educatioal the
equipment It is expected taht the col
lege will reap rich harvest from adj

The Brazos county exhibit at the
Farmers congress made an impress
ion: it is being talked about by de-
legates who have returned to their
homes in all parts of the state. But
the advantage thus gained will soon
be lost if it is not followed up by
exhibits at the great fairs al Dallas
and San Antonio. This is the cheap
est and best possible way to show to
the world what a great country Brazos
is and that it is capable of pro-
ducing a greater variety of products
than any other county in the state.
