WANT CHANGES
In FOOTBALL
Rules Committee Will Be
Asked to Consider / II min
atiHg Kickoff

There is not much likelihood that
the intercollegiate football rules COM
mittee will act favorably upon more
than one of the suggestions made at
the recent annual convention of the
American Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton. The suggestions which will be
submitted to the rules committee are
as follows:
l. Numbering the players.
?. Goals from touchdown to he
kicked from the point where they
cross the line of scrimmage.
3. Abolish the kickoff.
4. Forward passes made from be-
hind the line of scrimmage and that
are grounded become dead from the
point where the ball Is thrown.
5. Increase the value of field goals
to FIVE points
6. Add field judge to the corps OF
officials.
Most footabll men are now pretty
well convinced that for the benefit
of the public the players should be
numbered. No one has been able to
give a NOiiidAN lhd0Oil WHY THIS ouOulu
not be done The students and out
side public cannot follow the game
intelligently without such an aid, and
since it is the gate" that supports
the gridiron game the colleges GER
tainly owe il to the public to give
them every consideration.
Compelling a team to kick a goal
from a point in line with that where
the ball crossed the line of scrim-
mage would be a hardship. When a
team chooses to put out first it runs
the risk Of not being able to recover
it and try for the goal If any change
is to be made in the goals from touch
down it would be best to abolish il
altogether.
The late Mike Murphy, who knew
more about football injuries and
their causes than any other coach or
trainer, in his latter days was bitter
ly opposed to retaining the kickoff.
He maintained that more players re-
ccived body bruises in these physical
collisions than in the regular scrim-
images.
The whole tendency Of football
legislation has been to reduce than
to increase the value of field goals.
10 is hard TO see why the rules COM
mittee should be asked to make two
field goals count more than a touch
down and goal.

PLUMAGE BIRDS

U. S. Protection

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. a. Many
species OF birds. which are valuable from
both nuturalstic and economic stand
points will be saved from extinction
by The migratory bird act and the new

'r. Wilmer Stone. conscryator of the
ornithological section of the Academy OF
Natural Sciences, in the second of SER
les OF three lectures on bird life in the
auditorium of the academy last night.
The migratory bird law" said Doctor
Stone, "and the clause in the new tariff
law prohibiting the importation of any
wild bird piumage arc two of the best
and most important laws ever passed
Tor the protection OF wild life.
"On the basis that birds which pass

such birds rs the kmgiishcr, bird OF par

Several OF these species are almost cx-

The De Neri team. after slump,
won two games last week, and are
now hot on the trail of the Trenton

handicapped by the absence Of Joe
