FOOTBALL RULE CHANGES.
Eleven Suggestions Made-Opening Up
Play Inside rs Yard Line.

The football authority of the New
York Evening Post, the well known
Right Wing" is the first expert to
publish a complete list of the changes
the football code for 1912.
The majority of them should meet
with favor in the eyes of the revisers:
They follow:
/. LegaIize teh onside kick and for
ward pass over the goal line, provided
tn ball does not go more than ten yards
over the line. This would open the
defense inside the % yard line, as it
has been opened in midfield territory.
2. Allow The forward pass and on
side kick to be made by any man back
of the line, no matter what the posi-
ton of the backs. This would permit
under the line, and would allow a wide
choice in the formation of the backs,
since the kick~or forward pass threat
would be in every play.
3 Abolish the KICKOFF. It is danger
Gus, and the chance to choose for or
against it is of too much Importance
under the present rules.
4. After a touchback compel the de-
Tending team to put the ball in play by
scrimmage on its own IS yard line.
This gives the attacking team the ad-
vantage to which it is entitled Though
carrying the ball into opponents terri
tory
5. Abolish the fair catch in defensive
territory. 1t is used to protect backs
who cannot face superior kicking and
who are being hard pressed. On the
attack it is apt to open the way for a
score.
6. Retain the three down, ten yard
rule. 1t is possible to gain ground I'M
der it in midfield, and with the defense
opened behind the % yard line WOULD
work just as well.
z. Abolish the 20 yard zone on kicks.
allowing the blocking of ends at any
point beyond the line of scrimmage.
This will relieve the officials of watch
ing tie zone, The protection is Of lit
tie or no advantage to an end going
down the field. Everybody onside
the line of scrimmage.
8. Abolish the quarters and play two
halves of 35 minutes each. The game
is too short and does not give the
by renewed attack and display OF SUI
perior generalship.
s 9. In all games in which the full
halves are used abolish all side line
privileges. save for substitutes, train
ers, rubbers, and one representative
ton of the men. Substitutions for any
cause save injury to be allowed only
at the beginning of halves, Allow no
player once taken out of the game to
return. Players do not now suffer
from exhaustion. If in the opinion of
ed too often for a hurt he shall be or
dered from the game.
10. Allow no field goal when ball hits
ground before crossing the bar.
LII. To the rules committee: Simplify
the rules and the language in which
they are couched as much as possible.
Employ a professional codifier unfa-
miliar with football to write the rules
in their final form, subject to ratifica-
lions by the whole committee.

New York, Dec. 13.-Although filled

Mrs. Britton smiingly told her asso-

used to it and didn't mind-and they
filed the room with clouds, but she
sat through it all.
In short talks to the reporters Mr..
Gaffney and his new business mana

Market Closes BuoyantIy After Day

New York, Dec. 13-After drifting
idly through most of the day, the
stock market became strong and active
in the last hour. Previous to that
in the final upturn the steel and cop
per stocks, the Hartman issues, and
some of the coalers rose a point or
more above the final prices of yester-
day.
United States Steel was the back
bone of the market Although the
trend of prices was downward during
the fore part of the day, with losses
running to point among the repre-
sentative stocks, the Steel shares de-
feated all efforts to depress them.
The quotations rose steadily and to-

Buying of United States Steel was
ascribed to better trade conditions and

fiuence in strengthening the copper
stocks. The metal market held strong
today at the higher prices recently
established. American Agricultural
Chemical made one of the best gains
among the industrials, the movement
being explained as anticipatory of
possible dividend action. Western
Unions recent display of strength
was referred to the quarterly report,
which showed gain of 100000 over

woopRuFF's SHIFT PLAY.
Oyama Flank Movement Forerunner of
Minnesota Shift.

All Penn football men who played
under the coaching of George Wood
ruff consider him the real inventor of
many of the best plays of American
football.
In the spring of 1905, Woodruff was
attorney for the forestry department
at Washington, and became interested
with an army officer, who was friend
the Japanese army in their battles
with the Russians at that time. One
night he dreamed a dream of how the
tics could be applied to football. He
worked this dream idea out later in
every detail and that spring went TO
Philadelphia and getting hold of DR..
Carl williams and other Penn coaches
for her football team Carl Williams
refused to buy the idea. Woodruff
called his invention the Oyama flank
movement, and today the same move
ment, with notifications. is called the
Minnesota shift, and was first used in
tho east by Yale to beat Princeton and
Harvard in the fall OF 1910.

brought 1t to Yale, having learned IL
from Harry Williams, the Minnesota
coach, who was q teammate at Yale,
and an intimate friend of George
woodruff.
The "Oyama flank movement" as
worked out by its inventor, consisted
in bringing six men a certain distance
back of the hne of scrimmage, leaving
only the center standing on the line

BAKER AND BENDER
BASEBALL'S NEW HEROES.
Umpire Evans Comments on the New
Heroes and Fallen Idols.

Every baseball season produces its
new hero and fallen idol. Quite oftea
there are several heroes, and incident
ally as many fallen idols The world s
series, the blue ribbon event of base
ball, usually plays the prominent part
in the making or breaking of heroes,
writes Umpire Billy Evans. Last year
a. this tImc the names OF Jack Coonbs
and Eddie. Collins were held in reyer-
erce by fandom- The wonderful work
of these two great players in the series
them to be the most talked of men in
baseball. Both players performed
valiantly in the victory over the Giants
this fall. but the performances Of 9TH
ers overshadowed their work. IN the
eyes of fandom from coast to coast
Eddie Collins had been suDplanted by
Frank Baker. and Jack Coombs has
given away to Charles Albert Bender
synonymous with home run, while
Bender mates well with many strike
outs, few hits and fewer runs. For a
year at Least lovers OF baseball will
ray homage to the trusty bat of Franz
Baker and the mighty arm of Chief
Bende-.
Then there were the disappointments,
the fallen idols Of the diamond Last
year the great Mordecai Brown, one of
the grandest pitchers that ever faced a
batter, was forced to taste of defeat.
1t was a bitter potion. The fact that
he was removed from the box before
the enc OF the game maze II 1ll the
harder. The great Brown had finally
been conquered. 1t would be unjust
to say he was outpitched, for no box
man IS mere crafty; it was simply
survival of youth
The worlds series of 1911 was not
without its d;sappointmeEts. 1t would
be unk,nd to say that the mighty
Christy Mathewson was such. Never
did Matty work harder; he showed
everything he possessed, both of brain
and hrawn. Artistically his work was
a success, but as result getter 1t was
q failure. Manager McGraw and Giant
banked on Mathewson
They realized the hope of winning the
big series depended on~the master of
the fadeaway. Victory in the opening
game made 1T seem as If Matty was to
succeed. His next two attempts were
His defeat the second time
out, the first ever suffered in worlds
series, presaged the defeat Of the
Giants. The biggest blow to the
GothaInites, however, was the failure
of the sensational RUDE Marquard- In
the grueling race the Giants We're
forced to make to win the National
league pennant Marquard was a wor-
thy running mate to Mathewson. The
performances of the tall left handler
were far more sensational than those
Of Matty. Mathewson was achieving
success as much with his brain as with
the cunning OF his arm. Marquard.
favored with youth and strength, was
down the opposition through
sheer strength.

Between 1890 and IL o'clock there
were two wild sprints. the first started
