CORNELL BARS PENN STATE.
Unnecessary Roughness Alleged, No
Foot Ball Clash in 1919.

ITHACA, N. Y, December 13.-It was
made known last night that Penn State
will not be on Cornell's foot ball schedule
next year. and though no Official an
nouncement of reasons was forthcoming.
1t Is pretty generally understood that the
unnecessary roughness which character
lied the play of the State College team in
the game this fall resulted in the decision
to drop the team from the schedule.
At the conclusion of that game the Cor
nell team was perhaps more banged up
than In any other contest Of the season.
Some OF the men came out Of 1t with
faces raw from pounding. It was said
that other injuries sustained by Cornell
players were deliberately inflicted. In
short there was q lot Of deliberate ''slug-
ging." and the Cornell authorities were
pretty sore at the time. Nothing, of
course. was said right after the game,
but the decision not to try to arrange q
game with Penn State 10 tho outcome.

troit fan, 'all base runners were allowed
to score when a ball was thrown into the
first or third base stands. At that time
the stands on the old grounds were much
closer than those at the new park. Why
was 1t that a home run was allowed on
overthrows into the old stand, while only
two bases are given at the new park.
where the stands are over twice as far
away? Why. also. are two bases allowed
on balls thrown into the palying benches!
understand that such are the ground
rules, but what are the reasons for the
changes? To illustrate just what mean
I cite a play that happened on the old
park.
"Three or four years ago Washington
was playing in Detroit and Joe Cantillou
of pinch hitters in the ninth Washington
tied up the score. A young fellow by the
name of Smith had been playing short
for Washington. Some player had batted
new man at that position. Cantillon sent
Altizer to play the short field. Schaefer
was the first man up for Detroit In the
last half Of the ninth and he hit a
grounder to Altizer that should have re-
suited in an easy out The throw was q
bad one. and just managed to elude the
first baseman, and barely bounced over
the three or four foot fence that sepa-
rated the stands from the playing field.
Schaefer was allowed to trot around with
but I must admit that it was ridiculous
ending to a situation that for a moment
was mighty exciting"
The change from allowing the complete
circuit Of the bases to only two bases
was made for a number Of reasons. In
the first place. 1t seemed unjust to place
such a severe penalty on mere over
throw. At the time the change was made
q number of stands were so close to the
base lines that such ruling always
caused much adverse comment. when q
throw went into the stands. especially II
the home team suffered. Again, the win
ming of an exciting game on such a huke
play seemed decidedly unfair. It caused
thrilling a situation deserved a better
fate than such a ridiculous climax as
you have stated In your letter. 1t was too
extreme q penalty for the offense. and
when new parks were built and the dis
tances heightened the rule which had be-
come popular with the patrons was con-
tinued.
Under the old ruling when q ball was
thrown into the players bench the run
ners could make as many bases as pos
sible. It was an easy matter on such
play for the men sitting on the bench
to hinder the catcher without violating
the rule. Here 1t Is" ''It IL over there"
at went through that hole" and many
other like volleys were hurled at the
catcher as he approached the bench in
search Of the ball. A number Of the
benches were lower than the playing field,
making 1t possible to obscure the ball In
some way before either catcher or UNI
pire could get over. The easiest way out
Of any situation Is usually the best. and
the rule makers classified q throw into
the bench Just the same - . throw into
the stand.

HOGS ARE INFECTED.

Out of a car of 80 hogs received in
Moscow from Culdesac 10 were found
to be infected, while car containing
81 hogs from Genesee had eight that
failed to pass the inspector.
AS has been pointed out the greater
part Of infected pork is the result of
filthy conditions under which the hog
is compelled to live. Pens are dirty
and the water and food is often filthy.
Many farmers are today using the
same pens they have used for quar-
ter of a century, and when once in
fected they contaminate all the stock
that is kept in them
There ought to be a law throwing
the responsibility for clean meat on
the man who produces it, putting it
up to the farmer to use ordinary pre-
cautions that the meat supply may
reach the consumer in as good condi-
ton as it is possible to get it.
That there is need of official action
is shown in the 1911 report of the
chief of the bureau of animal indus
try. On page 32 is a table which
shows that of all animals inspected
in 1911, 52,776,S55 passed as fit for
food, 82,710 were passed as fit only for
lard, while 1888 were condemned
as unfit for consumption in any form.
When the danger from infected meat
is fully appreciated, as it is today;
when the nation has become thorough
ly aroused to the fact that tubercul-
osis is transmitted from meat and
milk; when the inroads of tubercul
osis on the human family are apprecia-
ted, and when it is known that tub
erculoSis among meat and mich COWS
is principally, if not entirely, the re-
suit of filthy conditions, is it not time
to strike at the cause? Is it asking
too much to demand that those who
produce cattle and hogs carry on
their business in conformity with mod
ern sanitary requirements? The most
effective safeguard of the public health
is to be found in proper sanitation on
the farms Give the hogs a chance.
Clean up their pens. Supply the ami
mails with pure water, and let cement
bathing tubs be substituted for the
The hog should have ce-
ment floors in the pens and there
should be plenty of whitewash on the
walls When the farmer quits produc-
ing diseased hogs and cattle there will |
be no further need of packing house !

is worth a pound of cure

NEW YORK, Feb 6.-The football
rules committee, which has beer
working in secret here for two days
upon innumerable suggestions for al
tering the game, came to unanimous
decision late today in favor of several
fundamental changes. The lines of its
anticipated improvements are in sub
stance as follows:
/. The playing field, now ITO yards
in length, will be shortened to an even
100 yards.
2. A zone of 10 yards width beyond
the goal lines is established, the pur-
pose of this being to provide ample
space for execution Of forward passes
and scoring on pass made across the
goal line into this zone is permitted
5. The number of downs" to gain
10 yards is increased by one.
4. The on-side kick is eliminated.
5. The value of touchdown is in
creased from five points to six points,
the goal from touchdown and other
scores standing as at present
6. The 20-yard zone, in which the
present rules now provide restrictions
to interference with the forward pass,
is eliminated, so that the restrictions
will apply now to any part of the
field.
Z. After a touchdown the ball will

A SYSTEM OF SAVING

only have been INDICATED, it would
have been popularized.
1.-THE republicans were playing too
much politics to permit playing square
with the governor and the people.
"The old fixed levies, which were
obsolete, and which had in a measure
been the cause of the high taxes re-
sulting from the enforcement of the
law, should have been repealed, and
the full cash valuation for assessment
purposes adopted.
eve are big enough, and enlightened
enough, and our people are trust
worthy enough, to be permitted to set
tie for themselves the amount of
money which should be expended for
schools, and such other purposes, for
which fixed levy was provided
'That is what 1 wanted, and that
would have been the simplest and best
way out. But had the republicans
adopted that, it would have instantly
shown the logic of Governor Hawley's
course, and would have popularized his
policy.
"The republicans wouldn't permit it.
There was too much politics in the
session for anything like that
81 am not proud of what the legisla-
ture accomplished, but when l calmly
think it over, l have to be surprised,
that under the circumstances we ac-
complished as much as we did"

FOOTBALL RULES

be put in play from the 2Oyard line
instead of the 25-yard line.
s. On a kickoff the ball. instead OF
being in play in the center Of the
field, will be put in play from the 40
yard line of the team kicking off.
Taking into consideration the short
ening 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 crimmage.
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 legiti-
mate goal.
IL. The interval between the first
and second and the third and fourth
period is reduced from two minutes to
one minute.
The principal improvement expect
ed of the new rules is equalization of
the chances of the offensive and de-
fensive teams 1t has long been con-
tended that the defense was too pow
erful and especially when close to its
goal line. The allowing of a touch
down on a forward pass across the
goal line is expected greatly to relieve
this condition.
