MOUNTAIN LION CAUGHT
That Animal Fell Into a Trap Set for

Jacob Gilbert Of Grass Valley, New,
exhibited handsome young Califor-
MIA lion which had been captured with
trap set for coons. He had set his
trap In Clear creek between North
San Juan and Freeman's Crossing and
was astonished when he went to visit
the trap and saw large lion vainly
trying to shake II loose. Gilbert sized
his victim up and, knowing that the
only good lion was dead lion, he
proceeded to empty the contents of
his trusty gun into the animals body.
The animal measured six feet from

The head Of bull moose, which

killed BY B. A. Cummins of Pierre

When the moose was dissected the
bullet was found in its heart, covered
with rust, and hunters believe that

MANY changes OF Importance in the
vi football rules viii be suggested
to the intercollegiate Football Rules
committee at their coming annual
conference. Most vital among these
changes are those offered by Frank
]. O'Neu. chief football Instructor ai
Syracuse university, and Johnny
Mack, veteran Yale university trainer
No two men are more competent 70
offer suggestions than these veteran
football men. Each has given the
rules close study in an endeavor 10
pick faults. If the suggestions which
they make are carried out football
viii advance TO a higher plane q
craftsmanship.
@AIueh has been stated OF late
BY Eridiron uuthOrities.r declared
eBucky5 O'Neil, erelatiVe to the
doing away with the goal after
touchdown However, I would
suggest the changing OF the
rules to allow this try for goal
under more hazardous conditions
rather than its elimination
-Gridiron fans desire to see the
spectacular. The commonplace has
no claim to attention in modern foot
ball The forward pass, on side kicks
and other spectacular plays en-
ployed during the past few seasons
have entirely supplanted the old push
and-puu game. For this reason, I
believe that II the goal after touch
down were to be made from scrim-
mage formation on the Is yard line
added interest would be given this
feature OF the game
would Improve Game.
Under present conditions the kick
ing of a goal after touchdown is
nothing more than a breathing spell
for players and spectators. However,
II the try were made from scrim-
make formation. a factor OF uncer-
tainty. so necessary TO every sport
would be introduced Under such q
condition OF affairs a team would
have 10 be equipped with a strong
set Of forwards in addition 70 having
an accurate goal kicker. The oppo-
uents would also be given a real
chance Of blocking the goal. an op-
nortunity that is more or less denied
them at present.
Penalty for Holding.
Another change which I would
like 10 recommend Is more drastic
PENALTY for holding by the offensive
team. A IS yard loss IS the present
penalty. I would suggest that hold
ing should cost a team possession OF
the ball To my mind that IS the
only way to eliminate the one real
bad feature OF our present game II
the penalty would be increased the
number OF violations would be de-
creased.
