GOPHER COACH
LIKES RULES
DR.. Williams of Minnesota
Says Changes Will I'm
prove the Game.

Il believe the changes in the rules
will be satisfactory TO all concerned
and will improve the game,' said DR..
Williams While discussing the foot
ball situation at Minneapolis.
-Four tries to make ten yards will
undoubtedly result in the development
OF the running game n will make
it easier for the often; we team to ad-
vance the ball.
The onside kick, which always has
bee nfraught with danger. has been
eliminated. This play tended to spread
out the defensive. backfield and the
doing away with 1t looks like a wise
move. The need of. the onside kick
Will hardly be felt this year because
the elimination of the 20-yard o n
to be made as far up the field as the
offensive side can get men to receive
the ball. The Shortening of the field
and the incidental creation of the 10
yard zone behind the goal line ex-
tends the possibilities Of the forward
pass. AS a result 1t will be possible
t MAKE a touchdown by means of a
forward pass. The fundamental idea
of this 10-yard zone rule Is to prevent
the defensive backs from closing in as
the ball is rushed toward the goal
inside the 25-yard line. This will
make it more difficult for the defen-
sive side to make a stand in the
shadow Of its own goal line.
The general tendency OF the
changes will be to strengthen the at
tack and develop the running game.
making more touchd WINS possible.
I believe the changes will lessen the
element of chance and eliminate
flukes in large measure. 1t seems that
the better team will have more of a
chance to win this year than former
~. From the standpoint of the spec
tator. the game will be just as spec
tacular as heretofore and thu running
game will make things more interest
ing. There will be less likelihood Of
games resolving themselves into kick
ing duels when evenly matched
teams meet"

Missoula, Mont. Sept. 14.-From a
position as lowly as possible to one
as high as possible is the proud and
unique record of Missoula in the two
years that the Union association OF
professional baseball clubs has
known. Missoula began its part ir
organized baseball under a handicap
answered to the name of "Scrappy
Bill" Joyce.
AS a part Of the manlpulations that
attended the beginning Of the asso.
citation, Mr.. Joyce acquired the local
franchise. He had been, in his day
one Of the greatest opponents Of the
national pastime. and he had manag-
ed several o fthe clubs of which de-
voted fans speak only in bated
breaths. MIR. Joyce. however. had
lost his baseball cunning during the
twelve years, he had been away from
the diamond. He had underestimate
ed the speed Of the circuit that w. H.
Lucas. John j. McCloskey. Dick Co.
ley and a few others had organized.
Mr.. Joyce believed that the union as
ISOLATION would furnish baseball OF
the class provided by the trolley lea
CUES of the metropolis of the country.
Therefore he entered Missoula in the
pennant race with a club that would
have classed, only fairly we'll in such
an organization. The result was as
unfortunate as 1t was inevitable. The
scrappers. as we Of Missoula called
the Joyce club, were consistent los
ers and o o settled to their natural
level. From that time. which came
before the eason was we'll under way
they were unrivaled as champions of
the basement.
Missoula was too good a baseball
town to stand for representation of
this sort. So. as the leaders Of the
garden city fans. a few local sports
men rescued the franchise and took
certain steps toward the improve
ment of baseball conditions here.
Charles McCafferty. who this year
started the season as manager Of the
Butte club. guided the Ill starred
scrappers through the remainder of
the season. They did not. however,
get out Of the cellar.
After the close of the 1911 season.
Clifton H.. Blankenship. the peer of
any minor league manager. was
bought by the local association to
lead the 1912 club. Mr.. Blankenship
was secured from Salt Lake. He had

According to Charles E. Armstrong
the new university football coach,
light and heavy teams will both be
benefited by the change in the foot
ball rules this year. With the pro-
vision allowing four downs in which
to gain ten yards the heavy team can
smash Its way through. while the
light and fast men will be able to play
open style. Mr.. Armstrong said. in
speaking Of the rules:
II believe that the average team
will make Use of both styles this fall
and W. will undoubtedly see the diff
ferent teams spring many surprises.
The defensive men must be on the
lookout more than ever this year for
trick plays on account Of the short
gains which tend to draw them in
and this will give the opposing play
ers an excellent chance to work the
