Chief Of Police Lano asks the Inde-
pendent to call attention to a traffic
rule that the auto drivers Of the city
will be expected to observe, and if
they do so, many accidents will un-
doubtedly be avoided. When cross
ing intersecting streets, cars at your
right always have the right-of-way.
Drivers should heed this rule which
will be strictly enforced by the police
department.

"KLEEN UP AND KEEP KLEEN"
1t should not be necessary for the
city authorities, the City Beautify-
ing League, or any other organization
to start campaign for cleaning up
city, but every spring there are
any number of people who neglect to
clean up their premises. A good
neighbor will not permit piles of ashes
and forty assortments of rubbish to
remain on his premises longer than
necessary in the spring. You may
have gotten used to the looks of your
yard and it might not seem like home,
were those land marks removed, but
just consider your neighbor, who has
to bear the sight of it every time he
looks out of doors. Wherever all the
truck comes from during the winter,
we don't know. There are the

Editorial Note-The writer intend
ed writing an editorial of this sort
some weeks ago, but wanted to get
his own yard in shape first.
The Independent is glad to note
that the overall craze has not struck
Mlnot. If one wants to wear over
ais, in preference to other kinds OF
clothing, all we'll and good, but it does
not appear to be particularly good
business to spend five or six dollars
for pair Of overalls to use just long
enough for the novelty to wear OIL
and then cast them aside. About the
only effect the overall craze has mad
has been to boost the price of those
garments for the working man from
two to five or six dollars. Wearing
out YOUR old clothing is laudable un-
der the circumstances and many a
man who could perhaps spare the
money for high priced sun Oh
clothes, elects to help the cause ov
getting along with his ga clottlng
a few months longer. Old clothes
won't last forever, and neither, Will
the present high prices. 1t is no long
err considered disgrace to appear IN
old clothes, but rather is it mark OF
Old clothes, do not nee
essarily have to be ragged or dirty.
An acquaintance who had long ago
an old suit, used those
clothes for carrying out ashes during
the winter. An idea of economy
struck him and he sent the suit to
the cleaners and he looks surprisingly
neat in them. Another man proudly
displayed an overcoat he had bought
at the Ryder & Mansfield clothing
store in Minot twenty years ago. A
dollar or two spent on new collar
gave him an overcoat that took the
place of a $500 garment. Wear over
alls if you want to. Wear your old
clothes. Wear your old overcoat till
you have to patch it with your worn
out overalls. You will have plenty Of

made by the rules committee relates to
the scoring Of goal after touchdown.
Ever since the Introduction Of the game
forty-fve years ago, the punt-out after
a touchdown has been part of the
rules. This, and all rules relating to it.
were struck out, and hereafter, if a
touchdown is made, whether directly
behind the goal posts or at the ex-
treme corner of the field, the side max
ing the touchdown may bring the ball
out in front of the goal such dis
tance as it thinks desirable, and from
that point make the try for goal
This means that q large majority
of touchdowns will result in goals, but
it does not entirely eliminate the pos
sibility of missing. In effect it makes
the touchdown very nearly equivalent
to seven points, which the rules allow
fer touchdown, and its conversion
into goal. without entirely doing
away with the kick.
The question of changing the con-
duet of the game from one run on
time to pne run by mum Der of plays,
was regarded as too experimental for
adoption. 1t has been recommended,
however, that the new method bs tried
by the colleges against their scrub
teams TO see what effect will be and
to obtain greater information on the
matter before taking any definite step.
Making it mandatory to number the
players has also been left this fall
without action

Union Boat Club
Beats ''Met'' Eight
In Feature Race

Special Correspondence TO The Trtbunc
STERLING FOREST, n. j., Aug. ID.
Tho eight-oared crew of the Union
Boat Club of New York, coached by the
veteran jim Pilkington, and composed d
largely of Columbia University men,
wood Lake regatta by beating the
Metropolitan Rowing Club combina
ton, with most polished veterans in
the shcll, hands down. They got off
well together, rowing at 36. There
was little to choose between them
for the first quarter, where the Unions
spurted and gained the lead by a
quarter length. The Nets fought
dogedly maintaining steady 80.
The Unions gradually heightened their
lead despite several spurts by the
Nets, then there was another effort
that looked good but it faded.
The time for the old Greenwood
Lake course was 4 minutes so seconds,
exceedingly good.
Henry Heller, of the Atalantas, the
rast conner, made short work of S.
Wells. who substituted for Louis Zoha,
the runner-up to Jack Kelly, at the ma
tional cham nionships and who gave
him an "alleged" close call for the
representative single sculls at the
Olympics. The time was minutes 81
seconds.
The Shea brothers, of the Nonpareil
Boat Club beat the Lone Stars in
the double sculls by over two lengths
in the excellent time Of minutes and
80 seconds.

Kelley, Former Rutgers
Captain, and Saurbeck
to Make First Eleven

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Aug. 14.-Two
football players, who already have been
prominent on college teams, have been
added to the Yale squad and give
promise Of shining in the Eli backheld
this fal. They are Frank Kelley, the
former Rutgers captain, and L. N.
Saurbeck, who played with an Ohio
college eleven for two seasons Saur-
beck took prizes in punting, forward
passing and in sprinting at the spring
practice, and is likely to prove the
most versatile member of the Yale
backtield. Both were in Yale last
year.
Although the big squad will not report
here for three weeks, the backfeld
members are in some cases doing light
individual practice at their homes.
Jack French is in line for most of the
punting assignments, while Sturm. of
Webb, the halfback, who was kept from
the big games by injuries last fall,
will do most of the forward passing.
Adding sprinting contests to the
spring practice was en- innovation. The
tlfty-yard dash was won by jim Ne
vile. while Bob Lay won the contest
in drop kicking with a goal of fifty
yards. These winners are set down as
Yale's coming backfeld stars this fall
me coachlng stan mas been COM
pleted by the announcement that Harry
Vaughn will have charge of the end
rush squad. He made brilliant record
as end at Exeter and Yale, and has
since been coaching in the Middle
West. He succeeds Jack Gates, who
has gone into business.
The resident squad is largely a new
aggregation. Tad Jones, who was head
coach in 1915, will return, succeeding
Al Sharpe, and John Field will be
bsckfeld coach. He was one Of Yale's
e. latest defensive backs and has
coached the squad in defensive play
several seasons. He is in business in
Bridgeport. DR.. Billy Bull again will
direct the coaching of the punters, and
Dr. Arthur Brides that of the line
from tackle to tackle.
Yale is delighted that the rules were
not changed more at the session OF
the rule makers. The Ellis feared some
radical innovations which might handi-
cap the college sport. In speaking of
the new rules, Yale's representative
on the rules committee, Walter Camp,
for thirty years director of Yale ath-
letics, said:

seven times in the ten games. But in
this third set each man made his serv-
ICE count, except in the sixth and
eighth games, when Johnston broke
through, largely as a result Of harder
and faster stroking and his rushes to
the net position. Probably nine per-
sons out of ten in the stands believed
Johnston was going straight on to VIC
tory after he had taken the set at 6-2
and led by two sets to one
Champion Disappoints
But surprise was in store for those
who looked to see the champion come
stronger as the match progressed to-
ward its finish. There was no rest in
terval between the third and fourth
sessions. Johnston started the serv-
ice. but his inability to clear the net
with his drives gave the game to Crit
fin, who also won the second, placing
wonderfully well as Johnston made in
effectual attempts to close in at the
net Then it wse the champions turn.
He won the third and fourth games,
after several long driving duels from
deep court and then Griffin retaliate 4
by taking the fifth and sixth for a
lead Of 4-2 on games. They alternated
in wlnnin., on the next three games,
leaving the score at ID in Griffin s
favor, and then "Peck" ran out the
tenth and last game with three brill
liant placement aces, the last a we'll
judged smash that caught the side line
squarely, with Johnston many feet out
of position. Griffin's set at Cd, and
the match all square again.
Again it was Johnston's service when
the fifth set began, ard he put the
game safely away as Griffin made three
"nets" and an "out" His errors were
apparently anguishing to Peck, for
more than once, after messing up an
easy shot he would glance at the sky
roll his eyes in agony and give other
evidences Of despair. These paroxysms
were always q delight to the gallery.
Games went on service until they
came to the fifth, which Griffin wor
with four superb placement aces, three
times passing his opponent after lur.
ing Johnston we'll inside the service
court lines, and once with an overland
volley down the side lines.
But Griffin dropped the sixth on his
own service and then ran cut the last
three games for the set at 63, and the
