OVER TWO MILLION
 TONS OF COAL USED.
To Blow Locomotive Whistles in.
 US. Each Year

Bloomington, Indiana. Dec. 5.-If locomotive whistles were placed in more forward positions and adapted to single high pitched note. many lives would be saved and approximate ly s5.000,000 annually would be cut frtAa railroad coal bills. according to Professor Arthur l.. Foley, head of the physics department and of the Waterman institute for scientific re- search at Indiana university. He has made study of sound intensity and cost of operating locomotive whistles and claims the low pitch or chimes" whistles are only about one-sixth as effective as a high pitch signal
 The shriek of the present whistle is limited. he explained, because of the smoestack. bell, steam dome, gener- ator and a blanket of hot gases in front of it. causing the sound to be broadcast to the side Of the track and not down the right of way to- wards a crossing.
 Whistles should be standardized, and the use of similar whistles fer other purposes prohibited. according to Dr. Foley.
 Dr. Foley has calculated that D. 434,026 tons of coal are consumed an nually in generating steam to blow the nations locomotive whistles

NEW YORK, March 10.-Taking far-reaching step calculated to sim- plify gridiron regulations and elim- mate misinterpretations of them, the football rules committee at it's an- nual meeting today created all ap- proved rules committee, charged with the task of establishing a basis for precedence in disputed is sues arising in the game.
 This action was characterized by members as the most important ac- ton of the committee, which after discussion of the rules, made but one fundamental change in the regu- lat;ons for 1923. This change was the abolishment of the onside kick from scrimmage formation, fea- ture which was said to be little used in recent years and which has been particularly difficult to rule on vixen 1t occurred. The onside kick from kickoff formation was not affected by the decision, however.
 Arriving as virtual board of ar bitration the approved rulings com- mittee will interpret moot ques- tions and publish it's decisions an- nually in the form of a supplement to the regular football rules. Its findings, however, will be subject to final approval by the rules commit tee as whole. The result of its work, 1t Is believed. will establish a series of precedents to guide of ficials and others connected with the conduct of the game.

MANY TRACK MEN AT MUNGER BOWL

The largest number of men that ever came out for track at Birming- ham southern college are pounding the cindcr track or doing tnelr stuff in other departments daily About 90 men are out for the daily workouts and Coach otls hlrpy IS giving them plenty of work. Prac- tice the past week has been largely coaching the men to get away on the sprints. All of the men are working in the starts practice. and some show results of former track experience in this department. The majority of Coach kirby's material, though, is green and he will have to develop his men for the various events.
 Just who will try for the dis tances and dashes cannot be told this early in the season. There are two or three experienced dash men among the candidates, in addition to other fast aspirants that may develop into good dash runners.
 All of the track paraphernalia has been received and the men were out working with the various apparatus during the latter part of the week. Red" Richardson and Hoyt Levie have been hurling the javelin and discus in an impressive fashion. Richardson won the javelin throw at the collegiate field meet last year. "Hoss" Candy won the discus throw. He has not reported for practice yet, but will probably be out during the first e the week.
 No work has been done on jumps vet. The work will probably be bet ter organized by Coach Kirby early next week and the candidates will be able to work in any department.

Approued Rules Committed Outcome of Coaches Confab|

tees, In pointing out the significansS of the work which the new bodJ will accomplish, declared it would enable greater simplification of tn rules and serve as basis of edu cation for increasing competencl among officials. Interpretations Drawn Up.
 Interpretations of the type planned had been drawn up previously irI connection with the rules. 1t wa4 said. but at present they either ] have been discarded or incorporated in rules changes.
 Most of the rules committees de- Alterations today were devoted tdl clarifying various sections of the, rules and making a number of min \ or changes.
 These alterations included: Impos7 ing the penalty of 15 yards for clip ping either from the spot wherel the ball was put in play, as the| former rule provided. or where the| offenso occurred. whichever will give| the offended side the most ground removal of the five-yard penalty where an onside man touches aI kicked ball. giving the defendingj team the ball if it intercepts an in-| completed illegal forward pass. in-l stead of allowing the attacking teamI to put 1t in play again; and im- posing for delay in starting the sec- ond half penalty of 25 yards. the same as that for delay at the star q of the game, but at the discretion of the referee.
 Abolish Onside Kick.
 As q result of removal of the on- side kick which has been permitted by the rules since it's infancy, the committee eliminated the touchback where a player who Is offside and within the opponents ten-yard line is touched by the ball kicked by his own side. Formerly the touch back, under these circumstances, re- suited in giving the ball to the de- lending side on it's own 20-yard line.
 Hereafter time out will be taken after the point for touchdown as prevailing under the old goal kick ing agreement. 1t was said.
 The committee decided not to put its stamp of approval of new type of football, exhibited to them, which differed from the standard type in that the valve was on the opposite side from the lacings. It was claimed to be better balanced than the old type.
 MT. Hall was reelected chairman of the rules committee and Walter Camp of Yale, reelected secretary. Together with w. s. Lansford of Trinity and F. xv. Moore. of Har- yard, they also form the new ad- visory rulings committee.
