Guy s. Lowman, the Aggie football
coach, is busy on Alumni field with
a squad of 40 aspirants for the foot
pail honors. Several of the old men
reported the first of the week. anG
the work is now on in earnest. L {.
Phelps, who lives in Manhattan vii.
captain the Aggies this year. He was
the Arkansas center last year. In
0ications point to heavier line than
usual, as the Did Iinemen have all re
turned and much beefy material from
the 1911 freshmen is available this
season The first is with Southwest
ern, little more than a week distant
and the coach will be busy hardening
the men up for the opening contest.
The longest road trip to be made is to
College Station, Tex, where the Texas
A and n. team will be met. The

Wichita, Sept. 2O.-There was r.
joicing in the .WheatshCcker camp |
when it was announced that Lot Pat
ton, all-state quarter for 1911, Will be
back at Paramount again this fall |
Patton did not intend entering school
this year, but changed his mind He |
will start work with the team MondaN.
Paramount will have a hard time r.
keep up their record of last fall, ac-
cording to present prospects. Softer
and Peterson, two stars of last year
from Clearwater, will not return this
season, and Bishop, the big fast full
back, will be missed. Several new
men are showing up well, including
Human, Gill and Babb, members 81
the Wichita high school team las
year. Scrimmage work started this
week under direction of Coach E. Y
Long.
Lawrence, Kan, Sept 2O.-FootbaE
followers here, who journeyed to Nc
Cook field for first practices of the
season, seemed to be more interested
in the effect of the rules on this
years style of play than in the frs
toll of the Jayhawkers. Everything
points to large score games this year
The rules have been so changed thar
the offense of the teams gets the most
benefit. This year the team with thu
ball will be allowed four downs If
which to make the required ten yarf!S
while last year three were given. A
forward pass can be thrown any s
lance to any man of the back field
this year. Last year the pass was re-
if it went beyond % yards.
All these changes are looked upon to
give the teams more opportunity to
score The On side kick has been
a polished. This is a rule in favor Of
the defense but it is the only change
that materially helps this side of TIC
game. This year touchdown with
goal will count seven points A team

length instead of 10, will not tepo
10 change the style of play. Nearly
half a hundred men turned out for
work this week. The first thing CoacE
Nosse did was to start work develop

Kansas toe artist last year, is not IN
,anks this year. Coleman OF last
