 Coach Overbagh was ably assisted Thursday by R. V. Congdon, F. s. BunneIl, F. H. Cranston- The follow ing former stars played with the scrubs:. Robinson, Mccormick, Ran dall, Barry and Stevens.
 The new combination formed by the shifting of Stanley to halfback and Shea to quarter is considered a won derful change and the opinion of many is that Coach Overbagh made a wise move in this shift.
 Stanley is fast and has great fac ulty of picking holes and is the most consistent ground gainer on the team while in Shea, Coach Overbagh has unearthed coming star who, with g little more experience, will accomplish wonders.

 Daubert complained of a bad leg a; various times in the course ef the sea- son, and in the last week or ten days of the campaign was out entirely. Robinson was desperately anxious u finish at the top of the second di- vision and gain credit for carrying the Superbas higher than they had been since 1907. He also wanted the percentage showing to be good, and it was hard blow at his ambitions to have a star like DauDert on the bench at the time Brooklyn was neck and neck with Philadelphia for the coveted fifth place. The Superbas finally landed it by one game over the Phillies, and great was the re- joicing.

Effective Rraxado.

Lord Cromer's quick and daring methods in dealing with an Egyptian rising are illustrated by the following incident: There were rumors of na- tive rising. Cairo was almost openly disaffected, and the British garrison was small. His lordship. however, caused it to be known that regiment was on the way from India, but he was careful not to explain that it con sisted of sick leave and time expired men and bandsmen. All the able bodied soldiers in garrison were order ed to parade all over the town in small parties, and the natives did not take in the fact that they were sort of stage army-the same men over and over again.

ATHLEEs STIRRED BY
 NEW PROPOSED RULE
Would Permit College Men to Compete
 for Any Club During Vacation.

The athletic world has been stirred by two of the proposed amendments to the Amateur Athletic Unions con- stitution, which, if adopted. will have most important bearing on amateur sports. Considerable unfavorable com ment has been heard regarding the new clause, which would enable a stu dent at any institution of learning to claim his alma mater as his place of
 residence and compete either for it or any club he may select in open com- petition. during the period between June and Oct. l. in the district in
 which the institution is located. Concerted action will be taken by
 the small clubs of the Metropolitan district against this rule, for it is against them 1t will work the hardest. Athletes of Yale, Columbia, Princeton Cornell, Syracuse and other colleges would be eligible through this amend | ment to take part in the Metropolitan
 championships annually. and because | of the thorough preparation they re- ceive in college would have a great advantage over the small club men. A college athlete coming to New York would affiliate with either the New 1 York A. c. or the Irish American A. | C., a majority going to the former or
 whom would be eligible. taking part in the junior championships, the small club authorities contend that their best
 men would stand no chance against
 them, and. therefore, believe the pro- l posed rule unfair
 If the national delegates adopt this
 new clause at the annual meeting next | month there will be a number of col lege athletes seen in action around New York under local club colors who live not only hundreds but thousands of miles outside this district
 This proposed rule will meet with strong opposition from the Metropoli-
