The irish MAKE
GOOD UMPIRES
THIRTY-sIx AR5ITRAToRs CLAIM
THE GREEN AS THEIR MA.
TIoNAL COLOR.

If you desire to shine in the athletic
world real good Irish name is a most
valuable asset.
A good portion of the American
league players are Irish. seven of the
eight managers are sons of Erin, while
all the umpires with the exception of
Billy Evans look on green as the most
beautiful color in the world Evans is
WEIGH, his parents having been born
near Cardiff, Wales
While an Irish name is a great help
to athletes in general still in no
branches of the sport are there SO
many Irishmen as among the umpires.
If you have any doubt ON this score
just look over the names of the men
who officiated in the different leagues
last season.
American League-Sheridan, Con-
molly, O'Laughlin, Egan, KERN, Perine,
Hurst and Dineen.
National League-o'Day. tombstone,
Kane and Mullen.
American Association-Owe Con-
ahan, Sullivan and Hayes.
Southern League Moran
and Fitzsimmons.
New England League-Fahey, Com
molly Mclaughlin and Rorty.
Eastern League-Kelly, Murray, By
ron, Finneran and Connors
Virginia League - Mace, Pender,
Henneger and Stanton.
New York League-Kelly and Gu
sack
In each league over two thirds of
the umpires are Irish, the other ma
tionalities represented are the Welsh
and German. The Connecticut league
last year boosted of the only Hebrew
umpire in captivity. His name was
Steinberg, and he was regarded as the
best man in the organization. His
work was so good that he drew a trial
from President Heydler in the fall of
last year.

WESTERN Man
HAS new GAME
Los ANGELES FOOTBALL PLAYER
THINKS He HAS SOLVED
REFORM PROBLEM.

Los Angeles, Jan. A new Amer
lean football which combines all the
advantages of the Rugby and intercol-
legiare games now played in this coun-
try is the idea of Pat" Higgins. a Los
Angeles football player.
Higgins plans to organize two teams
to play the new game and by trying
out all the combinations which he has
devised would evolve set Of rules
that viii be superior to anything hith-
erto adopted. BY the demonstrations
of actual play he expects to obtain an
entirely new game that will solve the
present football problem.
To bring the plan to the attention of
the intercollegiate rules committee
Higgins sent communication to Wal
ter Camp, inviting a delegation to
come to Los Angeles and investigate
the new game and cooperate on it's
development. If it proves as satisfac-
tory as Higgins anticipates. united ac-
ton concerning 1t viii be expected.
III the inventor Is successful the new
game will have the excitement of the
game win have the excitement of the
intercollegiate game with the spectacu-
lar plays OF Rugby and is to be SIM
pier and safer than either. Several
new features are to be introduced to
give 1t distinction. The advantages of
all football games will be considered
and utilized as far as possible.
The present intercollegiate pay is to
be followed more closely than any of
the other games, as 1t contains more
elements adapted to an American fol-
lowing. The tension which is charac-
teristic of the American game in MAX
ing the necessary distance, the loss
through possible fumbling and the pos
sibiliry OF an unexpected score will be
retained. The signal and concerted
action are to be kept The loose play
and confusion arising In the Rugby
dribbing and mass plays of the Ameri-
can game are to be abolished entirely
and team work Of an open variety Is
to be substituted. The serum of the
English game is to be ignored. Spec
racular tackling, punting and passing
rushes are TO be retained.

PROBABLE CHANGES
TO BE MADE IN
1910 FOOTBALL.

/. Players viii be prohibited
from dragging, pulling or pushing
the player carrying the ball. They
will be positively prohibited from
pNing upon a fallen player, and
the man carrying the ball will be
prohibited from making an effort
to advance the ball after he is
down or the ball is legally dead"
2. When player is in posi-
ton to make fair catch, no OPP
posing player shall approach near
er than three yards of the catcher
until the later has caught or miss
ed the ball
8. Requiring on the offense
seven men to be in the line Of
scrimmage while in plays across
the line of scrimmage not more
than three men shall be allowed to
cross together.
4. The present forward pass
will probably be eliminated and a
forward pass substituted that will
be entirely unrestricted, to be-
completed behind the line of
scrimmage, without penalty for
failure.
5. Making compulsory the re-
moval from the game of any play
er at the request of the trainer,
doctor or captain of the team.

Tower CITY HIGH
HAS STRONG TEAM
BASKETBALL TEAM EXPECTS TO
FIGURE IN THE STATE CHAM
PIoNSHIP RACE.

Tower City, N. D.. Jan. flower
City had four interesting games Of
basketball last week. On Tuesday
night the high school teams played
the almuni teams. Both games re-
suited In tie, the boys score being
10 to To- and the girls to 8. AS the
majority of the alumnae girls were
members Of the team that won the
state championship last year, 1t looks
as though the Tower City girls would
have another championship team.
On Friday night the high school
boys defeated the fast H. s. team from
Buffalo by score OF 80 to IL. and
the Tower City Independents also took
the Buffalo Independents into camp
by score OF 81 to is.
The H. s. boys are coming fast.
They had previously defeated the fast
Darlington five by a score of % to 6.
They will no doubt be in the race
strong for championship honors.
Games have been arranged with Far
go. jamestown and Valley City highs.

BOXING Meets
FOR COLLEGES
COLUMBUS PROF. WOULD MAKE
re5 NIT GAME REGULAR INTER
COLLEGIATE SPORT.

New York. Jan. 4.-Prof. Joe MUIR
ray, instructor of boxing at Columbia
university, is making a big effort to
stretch the spirits OF rivalry in the
college world so that the manly art of
self defense will be included on the
list of athletic contests along with foot
ball, baseball, rowing, fencing and
wrestling
Murray's first step in this direction
is the holding of annual tournaments
among the Columbia pupils. The first
one held last spring was so successful
that arrangements for another are now
under way.
Murray says he has about twenty
likely pupils who have shown such
proficiency at the NIT game that he
would be willing to stack them against
any twenty men Of the other big insti-
tutions of learning and feels confident
that they would win the tournament.
Murray has everything from light
weights to heavyweights. Among his
best pupils are Jack Ryan, the heavy
weight basketball player. and Buck
Robinson and Count" de .Grasse, who
might be classed as middleweights.
inIercoite9taee Meet.
Murrays idea is to get up a big
intercollegiate tournament. with en-
tries from Yale, Harvard, Princeton,
Pennsylvania, Cornell and Columbia.
The boxing game is already flourish
ing at Cornell he says, where Larry
Connolly, the Boston boxer, is the in
structor. Glasses could be gathered at
the other universities, and competent
instructor could pick out the best men
after a series OF tryouts. A scale of
weights could then be agreed on and
the pupils classified accordingly at an
agreeable time to all concerned. Dates
could be fixed for tournament and
the events conducted in much the same
way as are the annual American Ath-
letic union boxing championships
Murray believes such a tournament
would be interesting to all the college
world, and the spirit Of rivalry would
be intense.
The professor has had a world of
experience as an instructor of boxing.
He has boxed and trained some of the
biggest men of the ring during the last
three years, including Jeffries, John
son, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. Joe
Choynski, Tom Sharkey, Kid Mccoy,
Gus Rubin and the rest OF them. He
also introduced boxing in the Y. M. Z.
"A. and has taught the rudiments Of the
game to many a millionaire.

MAY ABOLISH GAME.
Government to Shut Out Football From
Indian Schools.

Washington, Jan. 4.--The Indian
service of the department Of the in
terror of the national government is
apt to abolish football at the govern
ment Indian schools. Such a ruling
would affect Carlisle, Haskell institute
and the Grand Junction school at Sher-
man in California. The loss of Carlisle
would leave big vacancy on some Of
the most important schedules in the
country.
That the Indian service contemplates
abolishing football in its jurisdiction
is not only new phase of the univer-
sal crusade against the game, but 1t is
understood that the trouble over the
Pennsylvania Carlisle game and the
death of Haskell substitute from in
juries in a Kansas game has something
to do with the rumored agitation.
