FOOT BALL MEETING
MAY Be warm ONE
Committee About Equally Dr.
vided Over Proposed
Changes.

NEW YORK. February 2-Suggested
changes in foot ball rules for the coming
season presaged a warm fight among
the members of the foot ball rules COM
mittee which gathered here today for
the regular annual meeting that is likely
to last two days. Some members of the
committee believe that the present rules
are all-sufficient, while the so-called pro-
gresstves believe that changes are neces-
sary in order to bring about q fairer and
better balanced game
A sharp fight was anticipated on the
question of the forward pass over the
line of scrimmage. Some committeeman
are in favor of limiting it to behind the
line of scrimmage on the ground that it
limits many dangerous hazards. The
question of reducing the number of yards
to be gained in four downs or of increas-
ing the number of downs to five comes
up early for consideration. The opinion
was freely expressed today that some
thing must be done to more nearly equal
ize the attack with the defense and at
the same time insure greater continuity
for offensive plays.
All the members Of the committee of
fourteen. with the possible exception of
A. A. Stage of Chicago University, were
expected at the meeting. Mr.. Stage is
opposed to changes in the present rules
beyond their simplificatiOn, and that his
alternate, II one is sent, will be so in
Structed.

FRED KNOWLES DEAD.
tuberculosis Ends Life of Giants
Former Secretary.

NEW YORK, February 2-Word reach
ed here yesterday of the death of Fred
erick K. NJ Knowles, former secretary
and treasurer of the New York National
League base ball club. He had been
suffering from tuberculosis for several
years, and his death had been expected
for the past two weeks Fred Knowles
went to Denver, Col, where he died, last
fall, but failed to respond to the atmos-
phere that has helped SO many others
troubled with the disease.
The ex-secretary of the Giants was
forty-four years of age. He was born
at Trenton n. j., and from the time he
was old enough to hold a base ball
was an ardent follower of the game. He
was a newspaper reporter for several
years, but in 1896 he was engaged by
Andrew Freedman, then owner of the
Giants, as assistant secretary. A few
months later he was promoted to secre-
tary-treasurer, a position he held until
his health forced him to resign.
For six or seven years Fred Knowles
was in full charge Of the financial af-
fairs of the club. assuming almost COM
plete management when the club passed
into the hands of John T. Brush. When
the Giants won the worlds championship
he handled everything connected with
the series. He came east last fall for
the worlds championship series between
the Giants and Athletics Before going
to Denver his New York friends gave
him benefit at Wallacks Theater,
which netted him about $500.

LINK WINS MATCH.
Throws Two Local Boys Under
Limited Time.

The wrestling matches at the Lyceum
last night were interesting, in spite OF
the fact that they were both rather one
sided. Shad Link did not have much
trouble winning the handicap match in
which he agreed to throw the two Zerega
brothers in one hour or forfeit 500
Frank Zerega went on with Link in
the first match, and did some clever WORK
in getting out of holds that his oppo-
nent had on him, at one time breaking
out of combination scissors and ham,
mer lock. There We're times when Link
seemed to have the local boys Shout
ders to the mat, but he failed to claim
his fall because Zerega would squir1n off
the mat 1t took Link few seconds over
eighteen minutes to dispose of Frank
Zerega.
Louis Zerega then went on with Link,
and managed to stay longer than his
brother, though he was plainly out of
condition.
Link outweighed each of the two men
by twenty pounds. and from the start of
the contests it was evidently only ques-
ton of how long it would be before ne
would win. The two Zerega brothers as
sumed the defensive from the start, and
had little opportunity to be seen in a diff
ferent light because of their inferior
weight.
Between the two matches Americas, the
Baltimore wrestler was introduced, and
the announcement was made that ne
would probably appear in bout at the
Lyceum next Thursday evening.

ANOTHER WYMARD HERE.
Brother Of Georgetown Tackle to
PLAY Next Fall

Charles cfBud') Wymard, a brother of
Skip Wymard, tackle on the George
town University foot ball team for the
last four years, has entered the junior
class of the arts department Of the Blue
and Gray institution, and will be can
didate for next years foot ball team.
Bud played center and captained the
Mount st. Mary's team last season, and
was without doubt one Of the best line
men that the school on the mount has
ever had. Wymard was picked for the
middle position on the line of the ALI
Maryland team during the last season, as
his work was of such a high caliber that
there was not q man in the latter state
who could be classed with the brother of
the Hilltop tackle.
The loss of Skip Wymard will be
somewhat made up for by the entrance
Of his brother BUD in the Hilltop in
stitution. as the latter will without doubt
make good. If Bud is able to play as big
a part in the athletics of the Blue and
Gray school as Skip has done for the
last four years Georgetown will be greatly
benefited by the acquisition of the Mount
St. Mary's boy.
BUD also played on the Mount ST.
Mary's base ball team last season in one
or the garden positions. Last season S
all Maryland center weighs 17S pounds, and
is five feet ten inches tall.

WARNS AMERICAN ATHLETES.
Ex- Yale Athlete Tells the Boys How
to Behave in Stockholm.

Schuyler Merritt Meyer, a formef Yale
base bali player has written at great
length in the current number of one of
the publications of his alma mater de-
nouncing in strong terms what he asserts
he saw American athletes do at the Olym-
pic games at Shepherds Bush, London in
1903. He hopes that the followers of this
years team will go lin training in order
that the United States may not again get
black eye because of their actions.
He asserts that American athletes gen.
orally overlooked the rights of all other
intending participants prior to the games
on the practice days at the stadium, and
that as he terms them, 'heelers' of the
team insulted the officials at any and
every opportunity. He takes exception to
the cheering section arranged for by the
members of the America committee, and
asserts that the members of this commit
tee sat by and permitted the most dis
graceful actions without endeavoring to
restrain the so-called "heelers." AS d
finale to his ideas of what he saw he
says, Let America go to Stockholm pre-
pared to win, but let us not forget that
we are gentlemen.

PREPS BEAT CARROLL.
Club Second Team No Match for thu
Georgetown Youngsters.

Last evening in the Ryan gymnasium
the Georgetown College props defeated
the Carroll Institutee Reserves in basket
ball by the score of 80 to 49, The strug-
gle, although seemingly a one-sided af-
fair. as the score would indicate, was
nevertheless hard-fought battle from
start to finish. The game was charac-
terized by the teamwork of the Blue and
Gray embryo collegians, as it was due
to this fact that the latter were able to
defeat the Carroll Reserves by a margin
of % points.
For the Props Martin and Lane star
red; Martin putting up a wonderful de-
fensive game. while Lane was particular
ly effective in basket getting. Degnan,
for the defeated team, seemed to be in
class by himself, as he stood out pre-
emtnently among HIS teammates, being
the best individual player of the con-
test.
The Hilltop preparatory school is -unde-
feated in the District, and bids fair to
retain the scholastic championship,
which they have held for the past two
years.

him in the regular position at third base.
Heine Zimmerman, the substitute m

in solving the Hilltoppers' dilemma as
to a good center for next fall. Wymard

where he captained and played center
on the eleven. Wymard is rated as an
exceptionally good man.

Murphy did not attempt to explain how
such a rule could be placed in effect, but
argued that some stand should be taken
against players engaging in the business.

CHICAGO, February News of the
death of James Doyle, third baseman of

effect at the headquarters of the club
here last night.
Although compare lively new addition
to the team, Doyle won popularity among
the patrons of the game by his modesty
as much as by his ability.

only man available for third base.
Zimmerman has played the position sat
isfactorily, but he recently announced his
intention of quitting the game.

polling-place of the ninth precinct OF

Of which is at the central fire station.
According to report which reach
ed Republican headquarters shortly
before ten O'Clock, the soap-box ora
ter had planted himself in the voters
lire and was preaching Democratic
doctrine. whenever an attempt was
made to pat him out of the line for
electioneering closer to the polls than
the law allows. Barron would refuse
to get out on the ground that he was
waiting to vote. Instead of voting,
however, he stayed in line and eiec-
tioneered. e About ten o'clock he
finally went in the booth to,yote.

his dirty .siurs and quit eleetieneer,
ing would take off my coat and we'd
see who was, the best man. said a
Republican voter. who is about the
size of the soap-box Demosthenes.
Then he shut up. saying he didn't
mean his slurs that way. He broke
the law openly in order to help boost
the Democrats.
