COACHES LIKE
THE NEW RULES

New York, Feb. 5.-Football
coaches and players were jubilant to-
day over the important changes In
the playing rules for 1912. They
believe gridiron contests this year Will
he the most spectacular and least
harmful ever Witnessed in the great
college game.
The most important rultr they
consider, Is that granting a team four
downs instead of three, In which
70 gain the required ten yards This
they say, win ensure more running
and less kicking. at the same ume
preventing any semblanee OF n mass
play that proved 80 fatal under the
old-time rules. Another mqch-
discussed change Is that which per-
mits the scoring Of touchdown
from a fordward pass, legally cap
tured within ten yards behind lhe
opponents goal line. This It Is
pointed out, will prevent the second
airy defense Of defensive team from
Joining the first line OF defense WIN
in the 25-ya1d zone and viii give a
line plugging team hundred per
cent. more chance to score. Footpall
men say this rule. In itself, VIII DO

most any other rule that could nave
been devised
The shortening Of the field by ten
yards, TO give room behind goai
posts for forward passes also WIN
tend to increase scoring.

tin Bergh has received official notice
from the supreme court that the petit
ton for rehearing made by the plant
dfs, Pierson & Savage, in their cas-
vs.. M%innehaha county, had been de-
MED. This is the famous tax ferret
case, and this decision of the highest
court is the final determination in the
case. 1t will be remembered that
Messrs. Pierson & Savage sued the
county last year to ecove the sum
Of S125,000 for services in ferreting
out untaxed property in the county.
The supreme court held in its decision
last January that the county was not
liable for this bill for two reasons.
F1rst. because the county commits
.Bioners had no authority to enter into
the contract in question; second, be-
cause the law of 1905, which provided
for compensation in such case, was un-
constitutional. The plaintiffs applied
for a %rehearing of the case in the SUI
preme court some time ago, and the
court has had this petition under con-
sideration for upwards Of two months,
with the result above stated.
