TO the meeting this winter OF the

coach Tost
It is not the spirit OF the rules to
take away touchdowns BY inflicting
penalties for fouls which had no bear

holds. In line with that idea he be-
Heves that the rules imposing ten

punishment in such manner that loss

Coach Yost also favors strongly a

at the hour for the game to start. He
cites the rule penalizing a team for

The Is yard penalty for attacking

Tost.

"The clock is about to strike in
Mexico" Prentiss declared. ''We have
learned from absolutely reliable
sources that large amounts of ammu-
milton, arms and war materials are
being imported from the East and
West; also that shipments are cross

The lull of the last four years has
been due entirely to the inability of
the rival factions to secure gums and
munitions With all the nations in the
world Overstocked with fighting i'm

The committee, selected with the
greatest care from persons in whom
both the United States and Mexico
have confidence, will make their
findings known to the foreign rela
tions committee of Congress and to
members of the House and Senate.

furnished with copies of testimony
