Gallaudet will lose two athletes at the
end of this year who have probably
been more valuable than any other
pair that have represented the school.
They are Foltz and Moore. FoltZ and
Moore have been the bulwarks of the
foot ball team for years and are capa-
bic in other lines.
Moore has run on the track squad and
has pitched on the base ball team, while
Foltz has appeared successfully in base

The changes in the foot ball rules will
not affect in the least the appearance Of
the game. As a matter Of fact, the code
is not appreciably altered from any stand
point, the most important differences
being in the time for substitutions and in
the making Of a forward pass across the
goal line incomplete except on fourth
down. These will prevent ground being
gained by teams by Intentionally throw
ing the ball twenty or so yards down the
field and outside Of the field of play when
close to the goal line, and the fact that
substitutes cannot now be sent into the
game after the beginning of the fourth
period will preclude the possibility of CIV
ing information to team that may be
fighting desperately to stave off defeat.
