This new story by the author Of "The

This goes rather TO Miss Dundas. the
heiress and owner OF a steamship line,
and 10 the son Of the impecunious Lord
Gair. Tho boy has proposed 10 two
heiresses for the sake Of their fortune.
and now that he is really in love, feels
convinced that all the world knows Of
his mercenary attempt at matrimony.
Old. decrepit Lord Stair himself. who, on

there is in the early part Of the book a
breathlessly temperamental fox terrier.
of which one hears all too little in the
sequel. The authors knowledge Of
Scotch character is again in evidence.
With the usual touch Of Scotch humor
but the people upon whom It is expended
this time are hardly worth while.

CHANGE K'RuLES
Was DISCUSSED
Summer Baseball Has Come
~ Re- District
States

New York, Dec. GA change in
football rules, SO as to allow h free
use OF the forward pass. the promo
ton of soccer football. the elimination
OF the professional coach in college
sports. the doing away with gate re-
seipts and the recognition Of summer
baseball playing as legitimate. were
some of the questions discussed be-
fore 100 delegates to the sixth an
nual meeting Of the National College
Athletic association here Thursday.
Tho present football rules. on the
whole. are. satisfactory and ought to
be disturbed as little as possible, ac-
cording to the report of the chairman
OF h rules committee. DR.. H. L. Will
liams. coach of the University Of Min
nesota. but were criticized by him as
giving too much advantage on wet
days to an inferior team which, on a
muddy field. he said, could nullify the
most brilliant defense. In regard to
the forward pass, he said:
There Is no question. that under
the present rules. the development
pass Is n of the most important fac
tors OF efficient attack. II the re-
striction of 20 yards beyond the line
OF scrimn1age wero removed. and no
limit as to the distance put on the
throw. simply providing that the man
making the catch should get the ball
before 1t strikes the ground. l he
lieve the rules could be improved and
strengthened"
A sentiment in favor of soccer loot
hall was crystallized by the appoint
ment OF a committee to form an asso-
citation to promote the game 1t was
predicted that soccer was destined to
become a favorite outdoor sport.
The discussion of summer baseball
brought out varying opinions as to
whether the amateur law should and
could be strictly enforced.
Captain Palmer E. Pierce, president
of the association, predicted that sum-.
mer baseball playing by college men
for pay had come to stay.
The view that strict application Of
the amateur law to summer baseball
could not be enforced was warmly
supported by other speakers.
only minor changes were suggest
ed by the committee on basketball
and track rules. The present commit
tee In the various branches of sports
were reelected. with some additions,
and the football rules committee was
requested to report and publish its
rules In h spring instead OF in the
fall, to promote the open game and to
formulate a plan for reducing as far
as possible. the number of officials.
The redistricting plan by states was
adopted and these officers were elect
ed.
BY a unanimous vote the association
decided to seek a%filiation with the in
tercollegiate association of Amateur
athletes OF America. and the intercol-
iegiate Dyn1nastS-of America.
