The football rules are out. They
are called more simple than the old
ones, but the reader will wish the
committee had drafted it's views in
regular English and not in phrase
ology about as clear as a hypothetical
question.
The changes are few, the effect i'm
portant-the spectators will get bet
ter idea of the game.
A field of 100 yards instead Of 10,
the extra 10 yards used as end zones,
back of each goal. where forward
passes may be received.
The addition of a fourth down to
gain 10 yards.
The kickoff from the 40-yard line.
On kick-outs opponents will line UP
on the 2O-yard line instead of the rs.
Intermissions between first and
second and third and fourth periods
reduced to one minute.
Forward passes may be of any
length.
The onside kick has been discarded.
The rules do away with checker
board field, and it is again grid
iron.
Touchdowns count 6 points.
Goal from touchdowns 1 point.
Goal from field points.
Safety by opponents points.
Hurdling in the line is defined as
jumping over a man with both knees
or both feet foremost, within five
yards either side of where the ball
was put in play.
To prevent shifting strong players
from the back field to the line on the
defense, the rules forbid playing a
so-called center, guard or tackle ON
the defense, as end or back on Of
Tense, or any shifting to evade this
rule. If captain desires to shift
one of his line men to the back field,
he may do SO by speaking to the ref
cree, but the man so shifted may not
return to the line. Any of the five
center men, however, may be taken
back five yards and return to his
position at will, under Rule 9 Section
3, which provides that any one of
the five center men may drop back
five yards on the offense, his place be-
ing taken by one of the back field

Bert Kennedy, who is coaching the
Haskell Indians this year, springs the
first bear story of the season. Kennedy,
it seems, has counted upon a speedy
young Indian named Jamison to be
quarterback this season. The Injun
was interested and promised to give
the coach his best. But that was last
spring. This summer Jamison develop
ed strong affection for his ancestral
home and about September L grew SO
homesick that he was allowed to re-
turn to his WigWam for 10 days. He
didn't return. In fact he hasn't re-
turned at this time. When he does
return he will be deprived of all privi-
leges as a result of ovestaying his
furlough So Kennedy must find an
other quarter.

Curious Ideas of the Arabs Regarding
the Earth, Sleep and Other
Matters

The Arabs of Morocco believe that
the earth is balanced on the horns OF
a bull. which itself rests on a fish on
the surface Of the sea, the sea being
borne up by the Divine Power. When
the bull is tired he changes the earth
from one horn to the other. with the
result that there is an earthquake.
During sleep the soul leaves the
body and visits other souls. What we
see and hear whilst dreaming are the
things which the soul sees and the
conversations in which 1t takes part
during its peregrinations. Conse
quently, We ought never to awaken a
sleer rer rudely, for II he happens to be
dreaming at that moment his soul
may not have time to return to the
body, and in consequence the man will
die
Moroccan wizards contend that ghosts
can only be devils. never the souls OF
dead people. They are human in ap-
pearance, with the exception of their
eyes. which are directed downwards,
and their feet. which are forked or
shaped like the hoof OF a camel. These
ghosts speak, but they are intangible.
They are OF all colors-yellow. red,
green, white and black-and their prin-
cfpal occupation consists in playing
tricks on human beings.
