Football rules change with as much
regularity as the style in women's
hats and sometimes it is hard to see
any more reason for a change than a
change in hats. The rules this year
show a slight change, but it is there.
The change is almost a joker and
liable to the sorrow of early games.
Resting quietly along near the para
graph of the forward pass is rule
that says a kick may be made from
any point behind the line of scrim-
mage. Formerly that rule said the
kick should be made at least five
yards back from the scrimmage line.
1t is easy to see how fast back
field with a brainy quarterback and
a player that can punt on the run is
liable to take a heavier team off it's
feet at the start. 1t means a return
to the quick snappy onside kick of
year or two ago and with fake for
ward passes can work havoc.
There will be more open play as a
result and more spectacular play from
the viewpoint of the spectator. 1t
also eliminates in a measure the old

CHANGE FOOTBALL RULES

mass formations. Instead of one man
back to wait for kicks the team on
defense must now have two men back
and two fast ones to be on the look
out for forward passes and the quick
punts. 1t places more power than
ever with the offense for with two
men back to keep an eye out for open
plays it means a weakening of the
line conducive to line smashing tao
tics. Still to pull in the back men for
a secondary defense there is that big
open space for punt.
1t is hard to keep a man from kick
ing the ball if he does not have to
worry about the imaginary five-yard
line He knows he can kick as soon
as he is ready and where he pleases.
The four-down rule is still in effect
and the team with a heavy aggressive
line, good tackles that can take away
most of the work of the secondary de-
tense line, will be the one that will
stand the best show. On the other
hand a light fast team will have a
chance to spring few surprise touch
downs by quick plays.

STOCK SELLS GOOD
Cattle and Hogs Bring Good
Prices.

Cool days and nights increased the
demand for meats and the markets
were active at Glen Miller stock
yards all last week. Good prices were
paid for deliveries of all cattle and
hogs.
The receipts were as follows: Cat
tie, 140 head; calves, As head; hogs,
sos head; lambs, lis head.
Clayton Miller, of Center township.
made the largest delivery of hogs
during the week, which was 1877 head.
The porkers averaged 2S3 pounds and
netted $4,592.
William Barton, of Middleboro, sold
SO hogs for $4,000. Barton's hogs were
the best marketed last week

Earlham will be heavily handi-

showing on the football field through
her inability to get her team organ

colleges of the state.

and Wabash, all of which are to meet
the Quakers have placed their squads
in the field and the coaches have COM
menced to whip their teams into
shape.
Student activities will not open at
Earlham until the beginning of the
college year, September 20. While a
number of players may be brought out
for practice a few days before matri-
culation, it is felt but little real work
can be done until the opening of the
fall semester.
Two light games will be played at
the beginning of the Earlham season,
in PREPARATION for the battles with But

st. Marys will play the curtain raiser
here on October II, followed by the
game with Hanover a week later.
The schedule will be lighter this
year than last through the dropping
of the !. u. and Cincinnati games. 1t
is felt that there is small glory to be
won against the state university and
always the possibility of getting a
number of players laid up on the eve
of an important game with one of the
secondary colleges, which Earlham
would like to meet on equal terms.

PLACE EVEN MONEY
ON WORLDS SERIES

NEW YORK. Sept. 24-Even mon
ey on the Giants to beat the Athletics
in the approaching worlds series was
offered today on the curb market and
generally throughout the financial dis
trict.
Many small wagers were reported
and several larger bets on the out
come of the games became known
late in the afternoon. One bet of 5000
was recorded in the Wall-street dis
trict at even money on the Giants.
A broker on the curb announced that
he had 81 1000 to place on the Giants
at even money. The same man also of
fered to bet $500 to $1,000 that the
Athletics would carry off the world s
championship.

work given the players. The men pick
ed by Coach Boyle for the first team
scored three touchdowns against the
second team in very short time.
Thomas, the speedy Methodist half
back scored all three markers.
At Indiana University two full teams
were out and took part in hot scrlm-
images. Coach Sheldon announced that
he had at least two strong candidates
for every position on the eleven and
that no candidate was absolutely sure
of a place. Following the afternoons
practice, the coach gave the men a
stiff lecture, in which he insisted the
men get down to work at once.
A surprise was sprung at Purdue
when the players were given scrlm-
mage work, as ordinarily this kind OF
practice would not be taken up for
a week later. The men, however, en-
tered into the spirit of the occasion
with Zest and showed very satisfac-
tory form.
Work Forward Pass.
Wabash warriors, too, were lined up
and given practice in bucking the line
and working the forward pass. Coach
Thurber expects to give his men
scrimmage work every evening from
now on. AS the Purdue game is to be
PLAYED under conference rules Wabash
will have very little choice in her line
up as only about Is players are eligi-
BILE for the game.
Yesterdays practice shows that But
Ter will be weak on kicking as none Of
this seasons recruits offer anything
very sensational in this line. Although
Butler plays Kentucky next Saturday
only light scrimmage work has, as yet,
been attempted, signal practice being
the order of the day.

HOT LINERS
OFF THE BAT

While the Giants were on their way
back home from Cincinnati, their last
stopping place on their final western
tour, the Phillies played two games
with the Cubs and broke even, so that
McGraw's men still lead the National
League race by ten games.
The Boston Nationals have
strengthened their hold on fifth place
in the National league by beating the
Cardinals.
The tie between the Maps and the
Senators for second place in the
American league was broken by the
defeat of the Washington team by the
ST. Louis Brows, and the victory of
the Maps over New York. The Yanks
hold seventh place by the margin of
point.
Reports from st. Louis say that
open rebellion has arisen in the camp
of the Cardinals by the announcement
that Miller Higgins has signed con-
tract to manage the team next year.
Connie Mack is planning to give va
cations to all the men he will use on
his world series team before the big
series starts October 6.

POINTS, NOT PLACES
COUNT IN CONTEST

Points instead of places will be used
in the Y. NJ. c. A athletic contests this
year in marking the standing of con-
testants as it is believed that such a
system will make the race more in
teresting to the men in the classes.
The points will be given on the mer-
it system. Fast time, in a race where
the other contestants finish poorly,
will count more than a mere first
place. A close runner up may get al
most as high a score as the man who
finished ahead of him.
