ing against the increase is taken by

payment of the first months salaries
accompanied by a letter stating that
the payment is made under protest

der protest.
Under the new law, which went into
effect February IL, seventeen crossing
policemen were paid today at the rate
of 81, 200 year, seven at $l,OoOa year,
and seventeen at 5000.

Tackles VIII Suffer Under
the New Football Rules

working to gain 10 yards in four
downs
The mass play died when pulling and
pushing a man through the line was
abolished But the tackle now will
have to stand the shock of his oppos-
ing forward. and then of a heavy man
bent on making two or three yards.
He will not. in all probability. get
much help from the secondary defence.
To weaken the defensive back line will
be simply an invitation to the offence
to work the now unrestricted forward
pass to its hearts content
The situation will be much the same
as Yost faced when Notre Dame beat
Michigan and which. later in the same
year. he compelled Pennsylvania to
meet The threat of the forward pass
was always there. but the play itself
was no great factor in the scoring. In
stead, the first defence was simply bat
tered down by straight football" while
the backs waited helplessly for the for
ward pass that didn't come.
