Washington football officials will be
conspicuous at the game between Uni

Thorpe. the star halfSack. Of the
Carlisle Indian team Is being seriously

and an :ffort will be made to enlist

Donnelly as officials looms I'D as a
complete approval Of their services in
the game last month with Swarthmore
in which questionable decision cost

Brown Works Hard for
Game With Carlisle

PROVIDENCE, Nov. 2s.-Browns s
football warriors had spirited practice
here yesterday in preparing for the
Carlisle game on Thanksgiving Day
No scrimmage was held, but the man
were kept on the go every minute
Much attention was given by the
coaches to the careful handling of the
ball. The misjudgment of the ball on
the kickoff in the Trinity game gave
the Hartford men touchdown. Coach
Robinson Is looking for a severe tuss;e
with the Indians, and hopes to elimi-
nate all chances of fuke from poor
handling of the pigskin.
Signal practice was run through with
plenty of ginger. and Adams and Kratz
again were in the lineup. Both men
will be in condition to face the Carlisle
braves. Sprackling ran the team at
top speed up and down the field, and
there were few slip-ups.
After the signal practice the coaches
had the scrubs line up and form a de-
Tense against which Sprackling tried
out some new plays. Robinson was not
satisfied with the way the men attacked
the scrubs. He and Pryor took the
backs to one side and showed them
their mistake. while Schwinn and Reg.

where they were at fault

BELIEVE THAT: NEW
RULES DON'T LESSEN
FOOTBALL PLAYERS
Changes Must Be Made to
Eliminate Gridiron
Accidents.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. c8-Dr.
Carl s. Williams. of the University OF
Pennsylvania, agrees with Coach Percy
Haughton, Of Harvard, and Walter
Stanford, Of Yale, that the new rules
have not eliminated any of the dangers
OF football.
II have talked with Howard Henry,
OF Princeton" said DIR. Williams yes
terday, "and he agrees with me that
the rules must be changed in order to
give the patrons a game, the students
q sport. and to relieve the play of its
monotonous sameness.
THE style l favor is the one used in
1880 and 1891, when team play counted.
and there were not so many scoreless
and unsatisfactory games. That game
was free from injuries and was the best
We ever had. Today's game is decided
ly dangerous, and the forward pass has
proven frost in every way. Men are
badly hurt while catching the ball. and
the play has not been success as a
ground gamer In the old game there
were seven men on the line of scrim-
mage and four in the ba2kfield Help
ing with the hands. when the runner
carried the bali, was allowed. There
tance to be gained was Ave yards. To-
day we see a lot of kicking. but no con-
sistent play.
The Princeton-Yale. the Army Navy,
and re Harvard games are good
examples Of battle that lacked the luster
CT the id style. They were great
games. fought by a splendid set of men
on both sides, but the rules hampered
them so that when they came to the
crisis the defense of each was so power.
full that steady and stronger attack
which under the old rules would have
won for them, was blocked because un.
der the present game a weaker defense
excells a stronger attack.
When the rules committee meets
have no doubt that many suggestions
will be made, but I am sure that there
will be these three changes: First
that the forward pass Is wiped off the
slate; secondly, that the distance 1!
made five or seven yards, and. third
that helping the man carrying the bal
will be, permitted; The periods may
stand, but ! doubt 1t. 1t seems tC
break up the game just at the tins
when something decisive is about to bt
accomplished. They may eliminate tn,
periods and still permit men to be takeI
out of the game and be returned in tn,
same half, but they will limit a man
returns to the game to twice for thu
entire day.

Despite Coach Reiter's orders to take

terday. Most Of the men are In a bat
tered-up condition as result OF the

was the biggest scoring asset that Yale
had this year, and but for a poor pass
Yale would probably have scored
against harvard INSIDE or nve minutes
from the time the game started. But
Ter. of Cornell; Hogsett. of Dartmouth;
Dewitt, OF Princeton, and the undem-
onstrated prowess Of Milholland, Of
Harvard, were all worthy Of admiration
and just as much good football as the
ne-plunging ability Of Wendell. the
speed of Pendleton. or the punting ca
pacity Of Camp and FELTON,.
There should be no changes In the
rules which will lessen the possibilities
or the value of a goal from the field
nor put a premium upon heavyweights
and brute strength. A man with brains
and agility, with few pounds but much
determination. should be given a fair
show to Join In the greatest Of the col

Business and Western
To Play Tomorrow

Announcement was made today to the
effect that the Business Western foot
ball game. which Is the final inter-
scholastic gridiron contest of the sea-
son. will be played at Cathedral School
grounds tomorrow afternoon at 8
o'clock. The game will decide last po-
sition in the scholastic series.
Both teams are anxious that the post
poned game be played as soon as possi-
BILE, and the definite decision to play
the game tomorrow was received with
delight by the students of the two
schools.
Much strenuous practice has been
done by Coach Peet's huskies from
business. and the boys seem to be de-
termined to hold the speedy eleven from
Western to a small score. At Western,
Coach Byrd has had his boys under
daily tutorage, and the Red and White
warriors hope to spring a big surprise
tomorrow.

It II doubtful II there have ever been
two high school teams in Washington
who have entered q game with a more
thorough course Of preparation than
Tech and Central this afternoon at
Georgetown Field.
THE rem was o disappointment to

lied upon Captain Morris and Ecken-
dorf to tear of long runs on the fast
going, while Central figured that II
Captain Hamilton. Reuter-. or Van Dyne
could get under way on dry gridiron
It would mean victory. A soaked
stretch. however, means that bot
teams will have to alter their styles
n to suit the occasion. and this will be
!; real test of the quality Of football that
the players have learned. A heavy
field means a closer defense with less
I chance taken on long end runs.

sI.It has been years since two high

general team play.

Coaches Favor
Changes in Rules

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 2S.-Lieutenant
Douglas Howard, head coach Of the
Naval Academy football team. said last
night that while he had not given the
subject of a change in the present rules
much thought as yet. he favored cer-
courage the rushing game to some ex-
tent.
He stated that he thought that the
most practical plan was to keep the
number Of downs the same as II 10 at
present, but to require the side with the
ball to make only five yards to retain It
when within the S-yard line. He does
rot favor any change In the rule as to
the onside kick.
