RULES MAKE THINGS EVEN

NEW YORK. December os.-Praise foi
the 1912 foot ball rules. with the state
ment that they made possible the best
game of foot ball ever played by Ameri-
can colleges was expressed by Henry L.
Williams. coach of the University Of Min
nesota foot ball team. in his report yes
terday before the National Collegiate
Athletic Association as chairman of the
rules committee. The association. with
delegates from nearly ninety colleges and
universities present, met here for its
seventh annual session.
Williams told of the difficulties that
had to be overcome and of the many
which, he said. proved most fortunate.
For several years back. he said. the
proper adjustment of the balance be-
tween offense and defense. with just the
right equilibrium between these forces,
has been serious problem. The ad-
vantage. he contended, had been on the
side of the defense and it had been well
recognized that as the goal line was APP
preached the defense became stronger
through the drawing in of the backs to
support the line, so that the scoring OF
touchdowns by equally balanced teams
was exceedingly difficult. For these rea-
sons, he said, the rules were changed to
give four downs in 10 yards instead OF
three, a. change which he characterized
as the most important and beneficial in.
troduced since the 1O-yard rule was
adopted.
The elimination of the onside kick was
another change which he said was most
important for the best interests of the
game, and was made because the COM
mittee felt that the advantage of the at
tack over the defense might be too great
because OF the decided danger to the de.
fensive backs and because of the decided
element of chance and luck in the play.

KELLER ONLY MEMBER OF FAMOUS
Big -FOUR NOT BASE BALL MANAGER

The only member Of the big four OF
the ancient and honorable Baltimore
Orioles that hasn't COPIED managerial
position. hogged bunch of the hmehght
as the pooh-bah of a peppery outft, but
who must be satisfied with merely nav
ing bored a niche in the hall of base ball
fame as one Of the greatest players that
ever lived, il not the greatest, Is William
Keller.
The ibg four Of the classic conglom-
Grafton that once upon a time, IN the
nineties, made Baltimore look like a real
ball town, were Mugsy McGraw. who
was third sacker: Hughey Jennings, who
was shortstop: Joe Kelley, who was in
the outf1eld, and Willie Keller of the
same district

The rabble knows full we'll where Nc
Graw and Jennings hang their chapeaus

International League, and doing so more
or less successfully. But Keeler-even
some of the most ardent diamond shout
ers will have to scratch their heads when
placing him.
Yet Keller was the peer of the big four
in the halcyon days.
If any one would at that time have
been asked who. if any. was destined to
lead some later troop of husky gents to
International fame the answer would have
been something like this: ikeeler is the
gink to do 1t. for amt he the topliner In the
Oriole quartet? And can't he make more
hits. get to first oftener. land more runs.
drive In more tallies and steal more bases
than any of the others? Sure, Mike!
Keller will be famous as a manager some
day. while McGraw. Jennings and Kelley

A Satisfactory Game.

N"SASAoSs0Ay
After reciting the disadvantage Of an
nual changes in the rules, both to the
players and the spectators in general,
Williams closed his report with the state
ment that now at last We seem to have
game that Is the most satisfactory, pop
ular alike to players, spectators and
coaches, where the balance between at
tack and defense is nicely adjusted
where team that is properly instructed
and properly directed upon the field OF
play ought always to be able to score un-
less outclassed, and where the team of su.
perior ability and skill almost invariably
wins.

owing to the fact that the committee
on recreation and Fairgrounds en-
ployed an outside expert to make the
recreation survey 1t has been thought
that the committee was also anxious
to secure an outsider as recreation SUI
pervisor for Richmond Such Is not
the case The committee and the
various other organizations co-operat-
ing with them are merely Interested
in getting the best possible leadership
for the children and young people or
the city. Richmond is unusually for
tunate in possessing among its resi-
dents two or three quite well equipped
persons for the position of recreation
supervisor.
Mr.. Haynes work was more that OF
an architect. and he was called in be-
cause he has made such recreation
surveys in several Of the large cities
of fine country. and the committee
wished Richmond to have as good a

derstood that no city in the country
of the size of Richmond has SO far
had as complete and thorough a
study made OF its recreation needs
and possibilities of development.
