RULES COMMITTEE
 EXPECTS ID MAKE
 NO RADICAL CHANGE
Goal After Touchdown Will Not Be Abolished by Grid iron Rules Committee.
 Meeting Today

New York, February 24.-When tns members of the football rules committee meet for their annual session here to- morrow and Saturday several minor changes and suggestions for others in the playing rules governing the game will be- discussed, but none of them promises to cause as much genuine interest as the effort to make the numbering of players a matter of compulsion.
 Last season several of the collegiate e1evens adopted this mode of enabling the spectators to distinguish individual players during the gridiron contests. There are many colleges. however, par-. tioularly Hayward and Yale, where tha placing of nsmbers on the backs of the competing players does not find favor. and strenuous objection is likely to ha made against having such a rule becoma mandatory.
 While several of the rules may be all tered in order to make them clearer and| easier to interpret, no radical changes are looked for as it is generally conceded that, as they now stand, the rules are tfle| best that have ever governed the great college game.
 The abolisAment of the goal following| a touchdown, which has been advocated at previous meetings Is not likely to bel adopted. According to keen judges of| the play, a. hard and fast measure should be adopted to prohibit violent body block I ing by players on defense who ignore thel flight of the ball on a forward pass and deliberately put the player who tries tod recover the ball out of commission. Al l0-yard penalty for this offense is con~' sidered by many to be insufficient.
 The rules committee is: E. K. EaIIl Dartmouth, chairman; Walter Campi Yale, secretary; Dr. James A. Babbitt} Haverford: Dr. Carl Williams. Pennsyl- vania; Percy D. Haughton Harvard Paul J. Daniel, Annapolis; W. A. Lam. beth, Virginia; Parke H. Davis Prince ton; Lieut.. Philip Hayes. West Point; Cs w. Savage, Oberlin; Clyde WiIIiams5 Iowa State college; A. A. Stagg, Chicago Dr. H. L. Williams. Minnesota, and Ed mund w. Butler Cornell.

". M. C. A. AND ATHLETIC CLUB
 AGREE DEFINITELY ON SERIES

March IT. The Athletic club will have the right to name the place where the first game will be played. The second game will be played at the opposite court. The place of the third game will be decided by the toss of coin. This condition was as set forth by the Y. M. C. A. It was impossible to start the series at an earlier date owing to the fact that the Y. M. C. A. season is not completed until March g.
 The naming of the referee will be decided later It was announced last night, however, that T. C. Young and Coach Pritchard will alternate in ref ereeing and umpiring. As the Y. AL c. A. did not press it's wish for the Athletic club to paint a two-inch black border around the baskets, this was dropped
 The price of admission was also settled more easily than expected. A uniform price of 50 and 75 cents will be charged to all of the games. Just how the gate receipts will be divided will not be made known to the pulp lie, but it is generally predicted that the receipts of the first two games will go to the team on whose court the game is played while the third game will be split 50-50.
 THREE GAMES TO BE PLAYED
 Three games will be played regard less of the result of the first two. This was in the conditions of the Y. M. c. A. and was accepted by both. No play CT is eligible in the series unless he has played in one whole game or parts of three games this season.
 Few conditions remain to be settled. Both institutions will provide seats for an extra large attendance at all of the three games. Bleacher seats will be provided at both places. All seats

BOXERS ID BLAME
 FOR PRESENT LIMITS
Willard-MOran Situation Is Used for Example-Jack
 Johnson Talks

Boxers in this and other countries are wont to complain bitterly at the restric- tions and limits which surround their profession. They have only themselves to blame.
 Take the present situation in which the heavyweight champion, Jess Willard, and Frank Moran are involved. Willard's s manager denies that he is sick after posi- tive statements had been sent out that he was. The boxers and managers are stalling around seeking unusual pub licity and disgusting the public gener- ally.
 Willard, if he is to retain the affection which he won from the American public when he defeated Jack Johnson, would do well to change his tactics. Speaking of Jack Johnson, he is qouted in the Glasgow Journal where he is now, as saying that he was induced to lay down to Willard. More than one person be- lieves that Johnson faked the famous or notorious Havana mill but a promi- nent Birmingham citizen who saw it de- clares that it was strictly on the level. He said Johnson wore himself out pound- HIS OH
 Willard is an enigma so far, and until American fight fans have an opportunity of seeing him under fire will have to sit back and wait as patiently as may be. Johnson's interview in the Scotch news paper reads as follows and is given for what it is worth:
 q say now that there is not a man breathing whom I think I could not boxer who was beaten by Jess Willard in Havana, but those in the know will be able to read between the lines. I am not speaking disrespectfully of Willard, far as man is concerned, but if he were as good boxer as he is a nice fellow he would be a great fighter.
 My fight with Willard was financial proposition. But the story goes back some little way. You can hardly be ex- pected to realize how I was persecuted after becoming a champion. Yes, I suf- fered some at the hands of the dandy people in America because they could not find white man to beat me.
 Well, they promised me that if would consent to be defeated by Willard I would not longer be molested and would enjoy the freedom any other man would would be allowed to see my old mother, who couldn't travel to see me. I would have my motor cars and other property restored to me. It sounded very attrac- tive, but they played the double cross on me.
