Kid. Shea's Bout
BY Wide Margin,

1t WAS well satisfied crowd OF
sports that left City hall Wednesday
evening after witnessing the three box
ing contests that Promoter T.. W.
blanks had scheduled for the occasion.
The real bout OF the evening was the
contest between Honey Melody of Bos-
ton and Kid Shea of Halloween. This IS
the third bout that these lads nave IN
duleed in and at the outset it promised
to be Il good one In the two former
bouts; it WAS considered that Shea had
out pointed Melody and a third bout
would prove the real worth OF both
men.
Wednesday evenings bout was
Shea'S Nv big margin, his natural ag
gressivencss pulling Linn out Of places
that seemed dangerous for Him At no
stage Of the game did Melody show
particular advantage over the local
youth. while several times Shca's ter
ric rsht made him dazed ana groggy.
Melody lost his good favor it'll the

clean and scientific bout and he re-

Although the work of both boys was
speedy, the repeated clinches tended
to spoil the sharpness that might have
otherwise been shown in some of the
rounds. Melody went to the floor three
times. twice from heavy blows to the

CHANGES IN RULES.
Football Officials are to Revise Code
for Next Season.

New Haven. Nov. 1s-Plnus for the
revision of the football rules this VIM
ter hay" progressed rapidly and there
is every indication that tn" sessions
of the Intercollegiate rules committee
will be the most harmonious of any
where general revision was planned.
The members have been in CORE
spondencc all the fall and have care
fully watched the effect of the code
which was adopted for this season
Ideas expressed hr different members
of the committee indicate that the
members ar. closer together then
ever before as 20 The present needs
of football.
The material collected by Walter
Camp. the Yale athletic adviser. on
his trip To- California. will be placed
before the committee. No football Of
fetal ever made 50 extensive "a trip
and no member of the rules commit
tee ever cnlloctcd So much evidence
OF tn" needs at the game, Mr.. Camp
is warm advocate of the main fea-
lures Of the revision (which was or
dernd for this season. but he has some
valuable changes at minor nature
to offer at TIE coming meeting of the
committee.
The question which will probably be
taken up first with the coming meet
ing is that of retaining rules which
officials at games declare they could
not enforce and have regarded as Il
dead letter all the season. These are
incident to the 20-yard neutral zone
for 0nside kicks and forward passes.
1t is thought that the proposed rule
cutting out coaching like that of pro-
fessional baseball games will be pass
ed without opposition. Some of the
provisions adopted last year will be
tossed out as cumbersome and con-
A general rule will govern
the committee in its actions. 1t will
aim to adopt rules which tend to in
crease fair play and to discard those
which incline 20 add unfair tactics.
