VIZ Observation-Disclosures Guild, Jr.,
w American ambassador to st. Pc
tersburg, desires to see mounted boy
scouts. He believes the United States
government should furnish ponies for
the boys, give them instruction in
horseback riding and train them in
skill in riding ard develop their hardi-
ness. a.. --.a
He outlines his plan in letter to
the state department, which has been
referred to James E. West, chief scout
executive of the Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca. West is enthusiastic over the
scheme. The scout leaders are taking
the matter up with Ambassador Guild
and the officials in Washington.
Ambassador Guild got his inspira-
ton from seeing 70 Cossack boys drill
before the czar last spring. AT recent
events" he writes, Gin the presence of
the emperor at Krasnoe Selo, there
was one thing of particular Importance
as 1t opened a new vista of the posi-
bilities of the boy scout movement.
Early in May some Cossack boys,
ranging in age from eleven to four
teen years, left their villages and as

Hurry Up Yost is greatly pleased
with the 1912 football rules. No one
is better fitted to express an opinion
concerning the changes and he says
the game will allow a decided less
ening of the completely of the old
system, thereby making the play far
more appealing to spectator and play
er.
Under the old rules, where the
strength of the two teams was evenly
balanced great difficulty was encount-
cred in scoring, except through fiuke
or accident. This fault was especial
ly prominent at barring any consistent
advance within the 15yard line, be-
cause of the old restriction of the for
ward pass and the necessity of max
ing three down against concentrated
defense. -...
The new rules, Yost believes, will
serve to eliminate this fault, for with
the limitations of the forward pass re-
moved, an alert, shifty eleven will be
able to vastly increase it's chances Of
scoring, while the heavier teams will
be forced to concentrate their defense
more and more. whereas in the past
the close defense being unnecessary
the heavier eleven were able to shift
back and thus easily block the open
