FOOTBALL RULES.
Understood That Coach Stags Of Chi
caao Will Introduce New Code.

Chicago. March 24.--Coach A. A.
Stagg of the University of Chicago,
left yesterday for New York, where to-
morrow he will attend the National
Inter- collegiate Rules committee meet
ing. AT this meeting the mass of rules
sifted down at the session a month ago
will be formulated into the 1910 code,
1t is understood Stage will introduce a
new code foundes on his recent expert
ments with theSUniversity Of -ArlSan-
sas eleven a. Fayetteville.
From the drift of his, discussion of
the rules it is predicted that Stage will
make a hard fight to serve the forward
pass. Stages pet scheme IS TO apply
the rules to the forward pass which
hold with punts. instead of bringing
the ball back and penalizing the side
when a player fails to get a forward
pass before it hits the ground. Stage
alsa wants pushing and pulling to stop
and in genera! wants to abolish the
mass play.

history, with the exception of WASH

overhauled and analysed as much as
that Of James J. Jeffries, upon whom
the eyes of the sporting world have
been resting for many months.
Not a single minute of Jeff's life
has been overlooked by the indus

up his family tree by the roots. AT

which he gets from his mother.
