There is hope OF a weIl-based kind
which should bring Joy and ultimate
contentment to m%ultitudes OF persons

Or. Coutant. an able specialist, has
evolved a newly perfected method for

ed by ringing. roaring, buzzing or other
d~isagTeeable noises in the head. 1t APP
pears that about 95 out of every hun
bred cases are from causes amenable
to proper treatment.
Or. Coutant does not advocate the
use OF drugs or electricity. He relies
chiefly upon cooperating with Nature
in bringing about q speedy and efSectu-
al cure OF morbid aural conditions. Re
markabIe cures are reported. many of
them being in the cases Of deafness
that had existed for about 90 to 40
years. With the description given In
his newly published book. the learned
docto provides a long series OF letters,

GILMORE DOBIE
FAVORS old RULES

Seattle. Feb. s-Coach Gilmore
Dpbie, of the University of washing
ton, does not like the changes in foot
ball rules. Mr., Dobie believes the new
rules send the game to a great ex-
tent back to the old style of play.
THE rule allowing four downs actu-
ally will place a premium on physi-
cal advantages" he said. THE big
fellows, / believe desired revision
where their natural advantages of sell
ection from d squad of big strong men
would do the most good. The ele-
ment of chance in the 1911, was one
of, the fine points Of the game. A
tough, fast team. with crafty field gen.
eral, could win and tie games in com
petition with an eleven better equipped
physically. Under the new code the
offensive tactics are given an unnec-
essary stimulus and heavy teams are
going to gain some of the advantage
they lost in 1905. The eastern coaches
have not developed their offense to
its fullest extent

to interference with the forward pass
is eliminated so that the restrictions
will now apply t. any part of the field.
z. After a touchback, the ball will
be put in play from the 20-yard line
instead of from the 25-yard line.
s. On a kickoff the ball instead of
being in play in the center of the field,
will be put away from the 40-yard line
Of the team kicking off. Taking into
consideration the shortening of the
field and this change in the rules, the
Kickoff distance is heightened by five
yards.
8. The field judge is eliminated. The
head linesman hereafter will keep time
and be judge of off-side plays in the
line of scrimmage.
10. The number of men allowed on
the side lines, now three, will be re-
duced to one for each team.
II. Provision will be made that a
bounding ball cannot score a legitimate
goal.
IL. The interval between the first
and second and the third and fourth
periods is reduced from two minutes to
one minute.

PUCK PUSHERS
PLAYED TO A TIE.
soPHoMoRE-FREsHMEN HOCKEY
TEAMS PLAYED SENSATIONAL
GAME YESTERDAY WHICH RE-
SUITED IN A NOTHING TO
NOTHING TIE.

The sophomore-freshman hockey
game Of yesterday resulted in a tie,
neither side being able to score dur
ing two twenty minute periods of
play, in was agreed to decide suprem-
acy later in the season. The game
was fast and scrappy, for the rivalry
between the first and second year
classes is always keen. A number of
interested spectators were present, the
freshmen having the larger following.
The puck few back and forth in the
middle of the rink but neither team
could put 1t where it counted. The
freshmen had a shade the better OF it
all the way through. Both teams oc-
c~asionally showed some good team
work. Shelton was the star of the
freshmen while Melchior and German
did the best work for the sophs.
The nior-freshman game is billed
for this afternoon with the fourth
year men as favorites. On Friday
the junior and sophomore sevens clash
for what promises to be one of the
best games of the season.
