MIKE MURPHY SUGGESTS
CHANGES IN FOOTBALL

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb mike"
track teams of the University of Penn
sylvania, has suggested the following
changes i'm foot ball rules:
"First-Let the quarter rests be
abolished. The collegian does not heed
them; they are proper for the younger
scholastic youth, who is not so well
developed.
''Secondly-Drop the rule permit
ting the free catch. 1t is. only used by
players who are afraid to take a
chance or cripples who wish to save
themselves from a toss to the earth
"Third-Add a little to the assist
ance accorded the halfback and per-
nit him to have a player drive into
the line, using his hands to tug, twist
or jerk along.
"Fourth-Make all territory equal
and no restrictions on the zones now
existing within the 25-yard line OF
the goal.
"Fifth-Allow the forward pass to
be used anywhere and any one ELI
gible TO accept the same except the
guards. tackles and center.
"Sixth-Take away the present 20
yard minimum on the onside kick
Permit the play at any time and the
ball to go any length with every one
but the guards. tackles and center ell
gible TO receive it, either on the bound
or fly.
"Seventh-Abolish the rule that pro-
tects a catcher or a punt, Permit him
to be driven from under the ball il
the ends or halfbacks or any player
of the opposition is fast enough tC
reach him prior to his catching the
ball"

LIVED IN KEWEENAW co.
Horace Greeley Spent One Year There
at Pennsylvania Mine.

This is the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the birth of Horace Greeley
founder of the New York Tribune.
and candidate for the Presidency on
the Democratic ticket in 1872. 1t has
a peculiar significance for Keweenaw
county, as Horace lived i'm Keweenaw
for one year at what was then known
as the Pennsylvania property, now the
Manitou, says the Keweenaw Miner.
The house that Uncle Horace occu-
pied with the late Father Kunz, the
winter he spent on Lake Superior. is
still standing and in fair state of
preservation. 1t stands just north of
the residence occupied by the late
Alex +. Thomas when he was super
intendent of the Conglomerate prop
erty.
One of the anecdotes related of
Greeley when he lived here, was as
follows:
An old Philadelphia. named Bailey,
came here in the forties and settled at
Mandan, and the property not turning
out as he hoped for. seemed to unsettle
his mind somewhat, and he was for
many years regarded as queer" When
Uncle Horace was up here Bailey be-
came well acquainted with him. and
told him that he was making a revision
of the bible. and asked Greeley If he
would publish 1t when he had it COM
pleted, which the latter agreed to do,
If 1t met with his approval. Later on,
when IL was about complete Bailey
sent 1t on to New York. with the
request for any criticisms, Uncle Hor-
ace would see At TO make.
A short time after. the bible was
returned with the following criticism;
"The author of this work was either
crazy when he wrote or else had the
nightmare. Horace Greeley. IT'S
needless to add that the work was
never published. one Of the things
the bible contained and which was
written by Bailey was that God was
a poor architect, for If he wasn't he
would have placed the calf of ones
leg in front, so that there would not
be so many barbed shins. 1t was filled
with a lot of such nonsense.

ATTACK ON FOOTBALL.
Maroon Daily Makes Charges Against
Athletic Management.

Chicago, Feb. 4.-Even John D.
Rockefellers University of Chicago is
allowing it's desire fer a name in ath-
letics to overcome its desire for fame
in pedagogy, according to the Daily
Maroon, the official students paper
which charges that the university is
PROSECUTING for students with fair rec
ords In athletics.
In part the Maroon charges that:
Candidates for the football team are
kept at work so long they cannot even
make a pretense at studying.
Students enter the university large
ly because of the opportunity of exer-
cising their athletic prowess.
Ninety-nine per cent of the stu
dents take no part in athletics except
TO shrek from the bleachers.
The one per cent of students who
do take part in athletics is physically
injured by the exercise involved.
Athletics today is too much of bus
mess. It's only object is victory.

LOGGING CONTRACTORS
MAKING GOOD PROGRESS

AS most of the large logging con-
tractors of the copper country have
completed their shidding and banking.
the severe snow storm this week will
not entail as severe a loss as would
have been the case, had it occurred
earlier in the season. Contractors with
long hGuls will find il expensive 10
keep their ice roads open, but as the
recent thaws left the roads i'm good
condition. it is not likely that the work
in the woods will be hampered from
this time on. Smaller contractors,
however will find their work serious
ly interfered with, and it is likely that
some Of them will be forced to leave
logs in the woods this winter, being
unable to skid and bank them.
Several large camps are in operation
IN the vicinity of Twin Lakes on the
Copper Range road and a number of
smaller camps near Pellxie The har-
vest at Twin Lakes consists mostly OF
pine. while that near Pelllie of hem
lock and hardwood, to be used for
mine timber and rollers.
THE market for hcmlock is showing
considerable Improvement of late
said a well known contractor i'm dis
cussing the situation today, "and VIC
expect the remainder of the season q
see still further Improvement" This
situation is very pleasing to the lumber
operators, for 1t is well known fact
that hemlock has been selling below q
normal price i'm comparison with the
price of other timber, during the last
few years.
