Philadelphia, Pa, April l6.-For the
first time in her football history the
University Of Pennsylvania will this year
hold a spring football practice which
means something. Heretofore the spring
practice has been very poorly attended,
the result being that much more work
was made necessary in the fall. Not
only do the coaches Wish 90 correct this
weakness. but this year they wish to
contribute their portion Of the expert
ments which the rules committee has
requested OF an colleges for use at its
coming meeting in this city.
It was intended 10 start the spring
practice on "Wednesday. but 10 was i'm
possible 70 get a field and IL viii not be-
gin until Monday BY that time the com
mittee will have completed the selection
OF coaches for 1910 and all the gridiron
instructors will be urged to be present
for the spring training
At a meeting OF graduate and under
graduate football men at the training
house on Wednesday night, called %
discuss the new rules and the prospects
for the coming season. Il was made
apparent that Pennsylvania men do not
regard the new rules very highly Dr..
Carl Williams who aIternated with John
c. Bell as Pennsylvania representative
on the rules committee, explained the
new code and then proceeded to give
his views. DIT. Williams objected for the
most part 20 the rule which prohibited
the assistance OF the runner with the
ball. According 20 his view the game
as played this fall viii be practically the
same played as FAR back as 1913 and very
much IKE the English rugby OF the
present.
Dr. Williams also did not think very
highly Of the suggestion 10 be debated AZ
the next meeting, that the defensive
scrimmage line be confined % the same
limits as the offense.
The prospects for the 1910 team are
only moderately bright The team has lost

ALTO BELL.

Few horses brought 20 Washington
have excited greater admiration than the
late W. A. Dennys Alto Bell 177S. son OF
DaybeIl and May D.. by Alcantara. %
No other horse so grandly bred brought
TO this country has been so badly handi-
capped by adverse fortune.
Mr.. Denny suddenly died while Alto
Bell was in an advanced stage Of de-
velopment. and when he was Just be-
ginning 10 show himself worthy of the
wonderful family Of race horses from
which he is descended. Just before Mr..
Denny passed away. Alto Bell drew a
cart over the Gentlemen's Driving Park
track. Baltimore, in 2;251z driven by
Thomas Cannon. and there is now no
doubt that II the horse had been con-
tinued in the hands OF Mr.. Cannon that
season he would have eventually trotted
10 a very low record.
In the settlement OF Mr.. Denny's es-
tate Ford & Graham, OF this city be-
came the owner Of the horse and carried
him 10 their magnificent estate. The
Hermitage. in Montgomery county.
where unfortunately he was permitted
TO dwell in obscurity for a number OF
years. The firm had other irons in the
fire that paid them better returns, and
this explains why the grandly bred and
beautiful animal was neglected Recent
ly the firm OF Ford & Graham dis
solved. Mr. Ford taking over the in
terests Of Mr.. Graham and Alto Bell has
became the property Of James Lumsden
a canny Scot, who has determined that
the animal shall be rescued from his
former obscurity and placed before the
public in his proper light.
