Return Field Judge,
Says Water Camp
.Specidi to The Telegrabh

SPectGi TO The Telegraph
New Haven, Conn, Jan. 20.-In dis
cussing the approaching meeting of
the football rules committee in New
York. next month, Walter Camp, the
Yale football authority and member
of the committee, said he was in ia
vor of the reintroduction of the field
judge as an official. The game itself
has reached such high state of per-
lection, he said, that there is little
room for improvement in the rules.
"All players and coaches look for
ward with more or less anxiety to this
meeting" said Mr. Camp, "for upon
it's action depends the kind of game
they will be obliged to learn for the
coming Fall. For two years now the
rules have remained so stationary that
they have had a fair test in actual play
and the game resulting has apparently
been satisfactory, while still admitting
of much further development"
Mr.. Camp favors the field judge be
cause the plays made possible under
the forward pass and quick kick are
beginning to take on such a compli-
Gated variety that two officials can no
longer be expected to cover every
point"

AT THE ORPHEUM

Before presenting a bill like the one

week, the management would have
done well to offer reward to any per-
son who could witness the show from

ent of at least hundred laughs, No
body would receive the reward. In
other words. there's comedy bill of
the first water at the Orpheum this
week. Every number on the offering
is mirth provocative except one, and
that is a rattling acrobatic act offered
by two attractive young women known
as Leach and Wallen, who start the
bill at wonderful pace. Their cos
tuning and stage setting is attractive.
and their feats unusual and far from
the beaten path. The pace they start
the bill at strengthens in bounds as
the show moves on. Cartmell and Har-
ris offer the most. refined and classy
dancing feature seen at the ,orpheum
since they were here about three sea-
sons ago.. and then John and Emma
Ray top the climax with, their screech-
Grande.' Some excellent singing Off
sets the irresistible comedy of the
