HEIsMAN'S RULES.

John Heisman, one of the wisest
football men in the East, has a set
of rules which his athletes must
abide by, and it would be wise
idea if many other institutions
adopted them. Here they are:
/. Candidates may not use tobac-
co in any form.
3. Candidates may not partake OF
spirituous or alcoholic liquors in any
form.
8. Betting on the games and bet
ting in any or all forms is absolutely
prohibited.
4. Candidates must be in bed by
80 pm. weekdays and II pm. Sun
days.
S. Candidates living ut the train
ing house will eat only such food as
prescribed by the head coach.
6. All candidates are expected to
conduct themselves at all times as
gentlemen and sportsmen, They may
not use profanity on the field or COM
init unsportsmanlike acts in practice
or in games.
T. All candidates are expected to
obtain good averages in scholastic
work to remain on the squad. They
are expected to conduct themselves
at all times in such a way that their
acts will be a credit to the team and
| university.
s. If any candidate desires to in
| fringe on any of these rules he
should consult the head coach who
may or may not grant permission to
do so. Expulsion from football will
be one of the penalties for failure to
obey these rules.

letes reached Antwerp they found a
drop to so degrees and wanted hot
and cold water which was out of
the question for there was a scarcity
of hotels and the athletes had to
take quarters in schoolhouses.

PIRATES AND RED

Major League Teams Choose
Hot Springs for Spring
Training Camps.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. Nov To-
Two of the big league teams will
train in Hot Springs next season.
They are the Pittsburgh Pirates and
the Boston Red Sox. The latter will
use the main field in Wilmington

cupy Fogel field directly across

Some weeks ago Barney Dreyfus
opened negotiations with the man
agement of Oaklawn park. desiring
to obtain concessions there that
would enable him to lay out a play
ing field inside the race track. There
are any number of small houses. all
in good condition. that are used by
horsemen during the racing season,
and Barney had sweet dream of
every Pirate occupying his own cozy
bungalow. 1t would have been the
greatest arrangement any big league
team could have hoped for, but the
deal fell through and the Pirates
will be back on Fogel field.
Both teams. it was also an
nounced, would play series of
games here in the spring at the
conclusion of their training, and
that is an attraction that never
fails to draw hundreds of visitors.
many of whom are residents of
towns that have no opportunity of

With both teams having their

between them.
They will be fairly evenly
matched when they take the field

be expected to happen.

front of play recently, and ran al

ing to get out Of the way of a c. II.

The officials of the Thanksgiving
game should be chosen as early as
possible and they should be the
best that can be found. One Of the
troubles with the present seasons
games is that the officiating In
some instances has been far from
