SAY GOAL FROM TOUCHDOWN
SHOULD Be ELIMINATED NOW
Yale Mar Urges This Change AS Football Rules
Committee Meets.

New York, March 16.-MenIbels OF
the Football Rules Committee, four
teen strong, will gather at the Bilt-
more hotel this evening for the yearly
ironing out Of the code. In all prob
ability, the meeting will go over until
Saturday morning, as has been the
case in recent years.
No changes Of a basic nature will
be considered, as the feeling is gen.
erel that a thoroughly good game BIAS
been evolved, but many suggestions
for minor changes will be considered
and O. further effort made to clarity
the code and to clear up disputed
points.
One more plea may be- made for a
further change in scoring. III letter

former Yale player and a close stu
dent Of football said:
1t is high time that the goal from
touchdown be eliminated and that a
touchdown should count seven points,
so that in all fairness it should count
more than two goals from the field.
ITO score a touchdown requires the
best effort and skill of all eleven men,
while one man under the present sys-
tenn can nullify the work of these
eleven If he is reasonably .skilful in
field goal kicking
From what could he learned last
night, the chance of any scoring
changes being made are small, but it
was admitted by one member OF the
committee that dozens, of suggestions
have been listed and will be submitted
for consideration.

tract Rate, Says Garfield

Washington, Oct. s. Twenty one
rulings for the guidance of coal op-
orators. jobbers and dealers were is
sued yesterday by the coal adminis-
traitor, Harry A. Garfield, to clear up
some of the uncertainty and msun-
derstanding that has existed in the
coal trade since various price fixing
orders have been issued. 1t has been
brought to the attention of the ad-
ministrator that jobbers had con-
tracts to buy coal as low as $1.25 a
ton and that they were selling this
coal at 81 a ton, the maximum price
fixed by the President. Some job
bers who have contracts to sell at SO
ton have been buying coal at the
President price, So a ton, and thus
making a fifty per cent. profit.
The new regulation, putting a stop
to these practices. provides that job
bers who. at the time of the Presi-
dents orders fixing the price of coal
al the mine August 21 and 23, had
contracted to buy coal at or below
the price set in those orders may not
sell at a price higher than what they
pay, excepting to add the proper job :
