Marriages

The Scotch peasants observe many
quaint customs hundreds of years
old.
One is a race between the men
guests, to get first from the church
to the brides home, with news that
the ceremony is over. A bowl Of
brose and glass of whisky are the
winners reward
The bride always is lifted over the
threshold by the bridegroom and a
broom, poker and tongs are placed
in her hands Immediately.

few CHANGES seen
In FOOTBALL RULES
Gridiron Experts Find Little to
Do. Retain OnSide Pass

New York, Sept. 17.-By far the
most striking feature of the annual
Qualification meeting Of the Football
Rules committee at the Biltmore on
Saturday night was the absence of
coaches. 1t was strictly session of
officials. and this fact, in direct
way, was strong tribute to the rules
body Apparently the rules have be-
come stabilized and settled and the
game has. got down to rock bottom
basis. Radical changes will be made
no more and antiquities in wording
have been reduced to minimum.
At every similar session in past
years coaches took leading parts in
the discussion. Foster Sanford always
could be depended on to dig up some
loophole in the rules and produce the
like of his multiple kick. But Satur-
day night Sandy was missing-and so
was his ready wit. 1t was what might
be called hard boiled session on
legal phraseology. 1t looked very
much as if the coaches had got to-
gether and decided to hand the meet
ing over to the officials.
The points debated weren't many.
Evidently the wording of the revised
rules meets with the approval OF the
officials, too. However, 1t developed
that the ancient onside kick, which
the rules committee thought 1t had
cast out of the game this year, still
exists under the changed rules. The
play seems to have the persistence
and the nine lives of cat, and APP
parently cannot be lost by the rules
body. While the terms "onside kick
has been eliminated and the use of
that play as known under thatfname |
In the past has been made illegal, the |
onside kick still is in football.
Apparent Conflict In Rules
This fact was brought to the atten- !
lion of Walter Camp. who presided
over the meeting and acted as the |
spokesman Of the rules committee,
through the discovery of an apparent
conflict in the code between Rule IS,
section BIB. on unlawful interference
With play. and Rule Is. Section 4, on
)ffside and onside. Mr.. Camp has to

said Higgins. HE does everything
well and makes no fuss about it.
FRANKIE ITrisch of the Giants is
also a wonder, but is inclined to be
more cratic than Collins. Frisch
knocks down and makes sensational
plays on many balls because of his
great speed, while Collins invariably
handles ball clearly. He has the
uncanny knack of getting in front of
the ball no matter how hard it may
be hit"
Players of the Collins type are
about one in ten thousand. Tough

POND MAY NOT Be
With YALE eleven
Pitching Arm Too Valuabe.70
Start at PrincetOn..Other Colleges

New Haven. Sept. l7.-According
to one Of the employees at Yale Field
who Is usually In the know" con-
corning Yale athletics, "Ducky" Pond
OF whom the football loving public
expect much this fall, will not be a
member OF the Yale eleven. In fact.
Pond will not even be a member OF
the squad. The reason for this is
that the board of athletic control de-
sires to keep Ponds pitching arm as
far from all chance Of injury as pos
sible.
1t will be remembered that Pond
was practically the only reliable
pitcher on the varsity nine last
spring and was responsible for the
defeat of both Harvard and Prince
ton and for bringing the Big Three
championship to Yale for the second
successive year.
1t vii! also be remembered that
Pond was the mainstay of his fresh
man football team two years ago,
making place for himself as ALL
American Freshman halfback. Last
year, due to low grades in his studies
he was ineligible for the varsity team.
Last spring. however, Pond succeeded
in removing the faculty's ban by inn
proving his scholarship and 1t was ex-
pected that he would take his place
alongside of Neale, O'Hearn, Beach
and Captain Mallory in the back field
Now, however, it would seem that Tad
Jones will have to groom another
man for the halfback lob

FIRPO NOW Baking AT
GO WITH HARRY WILLS
Negro Is Willing But Luis Wants To
Wait For At Least Another

New York, s.. *. Hilary Wills
and his manager, Paddy Mullins read
the accounts of the Dempsey Firpo
fight over the weekend and decided
last night that it might be all right
for Harry to fight Firpo without hold
ing out for bout with the champion,
according to the plan suggested by
Tex Richard some time ago.
But now Firpo has changed his
mind. He is signed with Richard to
meet Wills, but the articles are not
definite, and Luis Angel said last
night that although he was perfectly
willing to meet the negro fighter he
didn't think he wanted to meet him
for at least a year,
There is also one thing Wills does
not want and that is to fight Firpo in
Buenos Aires because he figured he'd
lose either way down there. If he
won the fight-well, Harry read the
story about what happened to the
Buenos Aires office of several news
papers who denied that Firpo won the
fight Friday night and that was
enough for Harry. Anywhere in
North America will suit him, including
Tia Juana.

watching, had different opinions.
However the final score gave the

Berg and Palmer, who have worked

opposing hurlers and while Berg
pitched very fine game, Palmer had
the edge on him. In the last half OF
the ninth, with the crowd yelling for

out the three batsmen, Al Blanchard,
Joe Jackson and Tommy Blanchard,
the last named pinch hitting for Clin-
ton.
The game was made lively by a
number of fast and spectacular plays
and as usual "Chuckie" Wojak, the
elongated third baseman of the Cor
bin Red sox, played most brilliant
fielding game. Chuckie accepted no
less than seven fielding chances with
out missing one at the dizzy corner
and his error was chalked up when
he threw low to first and Blanchard
was unable to field the ball. Wojak
also got one of the Corbin's five, hits,
clouting double in the fourth. Green
