"Oh. but they could not dance any

whispered one cup and saucer.
"Why, 1t sounds like a party" said
another, "but how could there be

But as they listened they became
sure that something was really going

DAILY OFFERS GRID CODE
I. FOR YOUTHFUL PLAYERS

Believing that the modern game Of
foot ball as played IN the universities
has certain characteristics that make
ii an admirable game for the youth
OF the nation, provided some OF the
elements OF danger are taken out Of
II, Mai Charles d. Daily, former coach
Of the Army eleven, has worked out
set of rules for boys under ten
and another for boys between the
ages Of ten and fifteen. These rules
were presented at the time Of the
mendation that they be inserted in
the intercollegiate books, but no
action was taken.
Almost everywhere you go these
days" said Maj, DAILY, you see
youngsters handling a foot ball.
The desire TO emulate their big
brothers is everywhere evident, and
j believe that the rules committee
should incorporate a modified code OF
rules which would give the smaller
ard younger boys a game which is
adapted to their needs and which will
safeguard them against injuries
which young boys are subjected to
if they play the intercollegiate game
fntercolle giate players.
For boys between ten and fifteen
i would suggest that In order to
eliminate tackling a rule be provided
whereby a player carrying the ball
can cry Held" and the play cease, the
situation being the same as If the
referee had blown his whistle.
For boys under ten l would advise
that the game be made kicking and
passing game only. and that tackling,
throwing and interference be pro-.
hibited. Also that running with the
ball be prohibited. All kicks and
passes should be heeled. ! would
suggest that there be formation
similar to the usual scrimmage for
nation and that from this the ball
be either thrown or kicked forward
to a player on the same side, who
must hold the ball In order for his
side to retain the ground gained. Tho
attacking side should be given four
attempts to retain the ball by gain
ing 10 yards. The rule should give
the defense an opportunity to knock
the ball down or to catch and heel
II in order to get possession. The
ball would progress In this manner
to either goal line just as 1t does
under the rules for older players.
II think that the adoption OF some
such rules would tend to increase the
interest in the game by giving the
boys of this age. e. distinct oet OF rules
set down by those In control OF fhe
college players.7 s 1

At the rate of daily consumption
Of food for so small fish. it is esti-
mated the fish must have been inside
the she'll for at least a month.
How did II enter the she'll?
An oyster at intervals opens TO OBJ
tain nourishment, and at one OF these
times along came Mr. catfish and
of the oyster. which then was slow
ly consumed by the fish.
The angler who youches for this
story and who requested that his
name be not used, said he was sorry
he did not place the fish in a buck ct
of water to see if 1t really was alive.
as its eyes were bright and the body
not frozen or stiff, as is the case
when a fish has been out OF the water
for any length~of time.
The hardshell crab often has been
known to steal an oyster from its
she'll. It inserts one of its claws
when the oyster is feeding. OF
course, the oyster closes its shell I'M
mediately, but the crab has an en-
tering wedge and each time the .oy-
ter hold, until it finally extracts its
quarry.
Fish That Climbs Trees.
Then there Is the climbing perch.
which is vouched for in the January
issue Of the Nature Magazine. This
fish is found in fresh water through
out nearly all the Malay countries.
and can leave the water whenever 1t
desires. travelling cross-country.
climbing up the trunk of any tree it
may choose and many of It's marches
are OF great length.
This fish stores water in a series
of compartments in it's head when it
goes on land. There seems to be
some difference of opinion as to what
parts the fish uses when it leaves the
water, but it is commonly supposed
to employ certain stiff spines on the
cover OF It's gills. An adult climb
ing perch" may grow TO at least six
or seven inches. In the upper Andes
of South America are found climbing
catfish, while another authentic re-
port covers fish which crawl out Of
the water to skip and play on the
shore like lively kittens.
The aBlind Angler"
Another curious fish which inhabits
the almost unknown depths of the
ocean is called the blind angler" This
fish Is about three and one-half inches 5
long, and while 1t has been named
blind angler" II really does have
eyes, but they are so small that they
were overlooked by those who named
the species.
To lure little fishes about its mouth,
It possesses a wire-like filarent in

@UT-OF-BOUNDS play. The
| eriss.cros. is the most
~ popular play in passing in
from out-of-bounds from end line
of the offensive territory. Two
players line up ten to twelve feet in
front of and facing the man with
the ball. One is about seven feet to
his right, the other a like distance
to his left. A third man, also facing
the passer-in, is about fifteen feet
behind the two. The two players
cut diagonally so that the one cut
ting away from the basket crosses in
front of the man cutting toward the
basket. That will carry the man
covering the former away from the
basket and thus leave this space
open. The third man starts with
them and comes either straight for
ward or diasonally forward. The
man with the ball can pass to any of
them, but preferably TO the man
coming up or the pua cutting to-
ward the basket,
