Mr.. Sullivan was bitterly opposed TO the

is used by the athletic clubs, and which
was suggested as substitute for the for

new modification is far better. II any

instead of two. An unlimited number Of
substitutions may be made instead OF the
former two. which restricted the number
Of men that could be used to eight. Now
any number may be used.
A substitute may go i'm only when his
team is in possession Of the ball and men
taken out may be returned to the game.
The team scoring will now have to give
the ball To the opposing goal keeper in
stead Of putting it In play at the centre.
This will avoid great deal Of the racing
for the ball
Mr.. Sullivan also expressed his pleasure
over the appointment by the committee
Of graduates of four official referees. one

Mr.. Sullivan defends the game from the
charge of danger because of roughness.
and holds up his own teams at Princeton
as very fair and reasonable indication
of the freedom from danger. Not man

COLUMBIA COACH HAS
NEW BASKETBALL PLAN
Will Develop Freshman Teams
with View to Finding Var
Sity Material.

new plan for the developing and
coaching of basketball players will be
tried out at Columbia this year by Harry
a. Fisher, who has coached the Blue and
White fves for the last ten years Be
cause of the changes I'm the intercollegi-
ate schedule which bring Columbia's first
league contest after the Christmas holi-
days, Fisher Will defer calling out the
candidates for the varsity squad until
well on I'm the present month. In the
meantime. however. he will begin work
with the candidates for the freshman
team.
Already twenty-six youngsters have
signed up for the first year squad, and
Fisher will endeavor to put a regular
team on the floor and have IL play a
series of match games. 1t will be the
first time since 1908 that serious at
tempt has been made to develop freshman
basketball material on Morningside
Heights. and followers of the sport feel
that 1t will mean the development OF
players who, as varsity candidates next
year. will greatly strengthen the squad.
The freshmen candidates who have re-
ported to Fisher to date are, he says, the
best material he has seen in years.
The varsity candidates will not begin
practice before November Is. Prospects
are good for fair team because Benson
and Meenan, forwards; Jaques, guard. and
Lee. centre, are veterans of last seasons
five, and will form strong nucleus
around which Fisher can build up a new
team.
Although no league contests will be
played before Christmas. the Blue and
White five will have two. and perhaps
three. preliminary games before the holi-
days. The team, however. will not work
up to its true form until after New
Years.

MOST VENoM0US OF SNAKES
"Bushmaster," South American Rep.
tile, Absolutely UndIsputed Mon
arch of Forests.

About the latest thing among snake
novelties is the bushmaster," writes
a London correspondent. This snake,
according to Baron e. Leijonhufvud,
F. z. S., F. R. G. s.. is one Of the rar-
est and shyest in the world. 1t Is at
home In tropical South America. and
occurs In Trinidad. 1t has the great
est venom of any Of the large poison
GUS vipers and as much as $50 mil
ligIams has been extracted at one
time from the bushmaster. The dread
cd rattlesnake, including the large
diamond, does not give more than half
the quantity Of venom. Attaining
sometimes length of twelve feet, the
bushmaster is the largest of all the
poisonous snakes Of the world The
pattern is beautiful; pinkish yellow
ground color, with rhomboid regular
designs of darkish brown, having a
tinge Of purple and terra Gotta. In
each darker pattern is brighter CEN
ter spot. Its Latin name means the
silent rattlesnake;' 1t was given this
name by Linnaeus on account of its
tail. which is tapering and horny,
made of the same material as that of
the rattlesnake. but without the seq
ments and consequently silent.
Charles Waterton, the famous nat
uralist. who made three journeys to
South America. describes the BUSH
master In his notes of the first jour
ney in 1872 as follows: 'Unrivaled

I'm Central America the bushmaster
is called by the Indians the pineapple

and similar to the outside Of pine
