followed up near his own corner,
where Willard stetled things with
straight right from the shoulder TO
Kearns's jaw. The latter fell heav-
lily to the mat, hitting his head with
terrific force. Referee ,Toh counted
his man out, but it wGs some time
before Kearns was revived, as the

Football Boosted; Baseball
Hammered by College Men

| the 1912 football rules, with the state
ment that they made possible the
best game of football ever played by
American colleges" was expressed by
Henry L. Williams, coach of the Uni
versity of Minnesota football team,
in his report yesterday before the
National Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton, as chairman of the rules COM
mittee. The association, with dele
gates from nearly ninety colleges and
universities present, met here for its
seventh annual session.
Mr.. williams told of the difficulties
that had to be overcome and of the
many radical changes that were
made, all of which, he said, proved
most fortunate. For several years
back, he said, the proper adjustment
of the balance between offense and
defense, with just the right equili-
brium between these forces, has been
serious problem. The advantages,
he contended, had been on the side of
the defense, and it had been web
recognized that as the goal line was
approached the defense became
SAIOD5tI Iii OuSn lllC dN AllS III VI
the backs to support the line, so that
the scoring of touchdowns by equally
balanced teams was exceedingly. diff
ficult. For these reasons, he said,
the rules were changed to give four
downs in ten yards instead of three
a change which he characterized as
the most important and beneficial in
troduced since the ten-yard rule was
adopted.
The elimination of the on-side kick
was another change which, he said,
was most important for the best in
terests of the game, and was made
because the committee felt that the
advantage of the attack over the de-
fense might be too great; because of
the decided danger to the defensive
backs, and because of the decided
element of chance and luck in the
play
