Minor Changes in Rules.

Besides the foregoing changes, a
number of rules of minor Importance
were modified Hereafter at The be-
ginning of the first half the winner of
the toss will be privileged to choose
whether his or the opposing side shall
kick off; the loser Of the toss will have
the same privilege in regard to the
start of the second half
The intermissiops between the first
and second and the third aud fourth
periods have been reduced from two
minutes to one minute each
The Geld judge has been eliminated
from the list Of OFFICIALS. Hereafter the
head lihesman will keep time and Judge
al off-sides in the lines Of scrimmhge
Hereafter bounding ball can in no
ease score . goal. The number of men
allowed to walk up and down the side
lines for either side has been reduced
from three to one, but this rule has
always been stretched to favor report
ers and doubtless will be again.
A cedifying committee composed of
Walter Camp, Percy Hapghton and w
n. Morice, viii make report ep the
detailed changes necessary aud decide
whether the rules committee shall rat-
lfy the new code at another meeting
in the future or effect tho changes by
mail. 1t was voted to get out the book
Of rules az speedily as possible, so that
the gridiron candidates may familiarize
themselves with the changes long be-
fore the football campaign arrives.
! To Eliminate Luck.
: 1T WAS explained by the Joint rules
committee that the value of a touch
down was increased go as to offset the
value Of two field goals. Everyone
thought that with luck eliminated. one
touchdown would be more difficult to
effect than two goals from the feld.
The committee believed that the ad
: fition Of an extra down would in no
manner tend TO bring back the old
Fashioned pounding attack, now that
pushing and pulling have been cIimi,
mated from the present style of the
game. Ten yards Of the distance be.
tween the respective goal lines were
Topped off SO as to make feasible the
addition Of the ten.yard forward pass
ore behind either goal,
These zones will give 6eld for the
forward pass Of 100 yards (tep yards
further than forperIyl, and in a num-
Der Of the present college fields there
would not have been room for this nd.
ditionaj space had the old distance of
11o yskds for the goal hnes been re-
tanned,

 WASHINGTON, April 20. The senate foreign committee today rec commended the adoption of an amend ed maritime resolution inviting inter national cooperation in the regula- tiOn of ocean traffic.
 NEW YORK, April 20 - No start ling revelations were brought out vivors heard by the senatorial com mittee today President Ismay was recalled, and he repeated his story of the wreck. He stated that no blame attached to either the company or the officers of the Titanic. The ship was not making as fast time as that made by many others of the Atlantic fleet of ocean greyhounds on their regular trips across the ocean, and, under the circumstances there was no possible way the acci- dent could have been avoided. Referring to lack of sufficient life boats, President Ismay explained that the laws of England and the United States do not require that a vessel like the Titanic carry enough boats to accommodate all of the passengers and crew, and even the number she does carry ordinarily takes up a great deal of room the passengers would rather have devoted to prom enades
 By using sixteen sets of Welin double acting quadrant davits, which will swing a boat away from the ships side. and stay put at any angle in any kind of sea, the Titanic was enabled to stow 32 boats, and have most of the deck room too, for each set of davits handled two boats. This arrangement. which has been approved by the conserva- tive British Board of Trade, makes | it possible for a modern steamship ! like the Titanic to carry more life boats than the laws require, which 1t is claimed by Ismay the Titanic | had at the time of the collision.

 Weighing the intensity of opera tions at the present time with the progress at this time a year ago. in addition to making allowances for the amount of the winter dumps taken out, MT. Dillon is confident that the output will pass the $6,00O.- 900 mark. More prospecting has been done and better results have attended the work this winter than in the winter of 1911, says the judge, and consequently, with more new ground being worked, the total clean up will mount higher.
