Prof. George Jarvis Brush, first d.
rector Of the Sheffield Scientific school
Of Yale university, died at his home
in New Haven on Tuesday at the age
of 80 years. In 1852 Prof, Brush was
one of the first six who received the
new degree of PhB from Yale After
teaching year in the University of
Virginia, and then studying two years
in Germany, he was elected to the
chair of metallurgy in the Yale Sci
entifc school in 1885. In 1854 he be-
came professor of mineralogy, holding
that chair until 1898, when he became
professor emeritus He was a direc-
tor Of the Sheffield Scientific school
from the time 1t was organized in 1872
up 10 his retirement in 1898.
AS a contributor of scientific papers
to the various journals he was well
known in this country and abroad,
and he was member of the American
Academy Of Sciences since 1868. To
hundreds of Yale graduates and in
scientific circles his death brings loss.
1t is interesting to note that he came
to Yale with the intention Of becom-
ing a scientific farmer.

The new football rules have been
theme for much discussion since they
We're issued last Saturday. Arthur
Howe, captain and quarterback of the
Yale 1911 team, considered that the
new rules are aimed at a more even
balance between the offense and de-
Tense. The forward pass across the
goal line, he says, may not produce SO
many spirited stands at the goal line,
but on the other hand will permit
more scoring, The extra down viii not
cause more mass play, but instead viii
give the field general a greater oppoT-
tunity to try his offense and will give
a much better chance for scientific
advance TO the goal line. Tt is GER
tainly better to have a touchdown
count six points, because I do not
think two goals from the field should
ever have beaten a touchdown when
the goal after it was not kicked.
Walter Camp. so, secretary of the
rules committee, gave out a statement
as follows:
The rules committee faced q situa-
ton which seems best stated as fol-
lows
While the elimination from the game
of pushing and pulling and the forbid
ding of the old practice Of using an
extra man in the backfield had put
an effective ban on anything like mass
play, it had, in spite of the introduce
ton of the forward pass. rendered
consistent ground gaining impossible.
As one of the chief attractions that
had built up the game of American
football in the favor of players and
spectators was the generally satisfac-
tory balance of running and kicking,
oh 1agFo 4 ton Il
that that balance should be 50 materi-
ally disturbed as it has been during
the past few years, provided of course
that mass play and its dangers should
rot be readmitted
1t was also a fair sporting criticism
of the game last year that superiority
of one team over another could not be
demonstrated ~ scores unless that
superiority was very marked"
