FOOTBALL GAME is MODIFIED
Interesting Substitute for Popular Pas
time 10 Free From All Rough. :.
ness-tioW Il 10 Played.

An interesting substitute for foot
ball that retains most of the elements
Of the popular game, and at the same
time is free from roughness, will be
welcomed by many boys. Such a
game Is tag football. 1t will appeal
particularly to the boys who are
too young to play regular football, or
who have been forbidden to play be-
cause of physical incapacity. It is
also good game for older boys when
there are not enough players to form
two complete eleveus. With some
adaptations 1t has also been played
successfully by girls.
The game is played with a rugby
ball. on regular football field. by
two opposing teams Of from five to
eleven players each. Scores are made
as in football. and football rules hold
good except where special rules are
prescribed.
After the sides have been chosen,
the ball is kicked of. and the receiv.
er runs toward his opponents goal
until an opposing player touches him.
The ball is down" where 1t touches
the ground on an incomplete pass. or
at the place where the runner is first
tagged, or at the point where he goes
out Of bounds.
Because Of the obvious futility OF
straight:line plays. the forwards
spread out along the scrimmage line.
The play is Therefore much more open
than in the regular game.
As in football. no player may kick
the ball when It IL on the ground. ex-
cept at the kick-off or when making
free try for goal. Another foot.
ball rule that applies should be kept
in mind. Players must be "on-side''
at the kick-off. at the beginning OF
each down, and at the free kicks for
field goals.
An important variation from foot
ball is that the side putting the ball
in play may have only one man on
the scrimmage line II 1t SO chooses.
Every man on the team is eligible, at
any time, to receive a pass coming
In any direction. 1t 10 therefore a
running, passing, kicking game. and
can be played without likelihood OF
mishaps long after the ground has
been frozen.-Youth's Companion. !.

The Red Light" Reform.

The reform aimed at in the Kenyon
bill which vas passed yesterday by the
House and IS now to be laid before the
President for signature. will not be fully
accomplished by the mere eviction of the
unfortunate women who have been In
mates of houses of ill-fame. Every pos
sible effort should be made. through all
available energies. to afford them an OPP
portunity to change their mode of life. TO
sustain themselves by moral means.
They are at this time in need not
merely of encouragement. u actual
assistance. if they or any e diem are

shame. The institutions and organiza-
;ions which have worked for the leGis-
latiOn just enacted will undoubtedly Y
seize this opportunity to perfect their
upliIt work and to offer this practical
assistance. If they are in turn in need
of funds To carry on such a work they
should and doubtless will have the
practical support OF the public.

something could be arranged in the

10 commemorate the services to the ma
ton OF the war President.
Five Years ago The Star was urging
that the centenary of Liucoln's birth be
commemorated by the enactment OF the
memorial bill. and but for a difference of
opinion regarding the exact design this
would doubtless have been done and by
this time the memorial would be well nigh
completion If not actually ready for dedi-
cation. The lapse of five years. how
ever, has not been disadvantageous. 1t
has resulted in the adoption OF a most
attractive and artistic design. eloquently
typifying the career and services of the
nartyred President, and there is no
!onger a disposition to check the prog
ress OF its evolution. The differences
that have just been adjusted through
Secretary Garrison's wise handling of the
matter have been in matters of detail,
and now the way is clear for the vigor-
GUS prosecution of the work.
