SECRET SESSION
 IN GATOR CAMP
Van Fleet Has Florida Work
 With Visitors Barred

GAINESVILLE, Fla, Sept. 24.- Especial. )-Signal parctice behind closed doors for the first time this season was the program Wednesday afternoon of the fighting Gator grid az gregation.
 Promptly at 4 o'clock Coach Vanfleet divided his squad of Pigskin chasers in- to sections, leaving the linesmen to assistant Coach Sebring and Tipton for cutting down practice while he took the backfield men to a secluded field for an hours parctice of the famous Gator GooseStep.
 The last few minutes of the after noon workout were spent in trying some new plays. The plays were tried out both 1n fast time and then in slow motion time, every phase being carefully watched by the coaches forsdefects and for chances to improve them.
 Go0seStep!
 The slow Gator goose-step is the keynote of the Florida backfieId action, 1t is to be remembered that all opposing elevens found this rather baffling last year.
 Glancing at the lineups of both Gator elevens Wednesday afternoon it seems that the rumorS of a most powerful Florida football team are likely to have some very firm foundation, for both elevens looked very good indeed.
 The Gator players are full of spirit, pep and vim and their very actions Wednesday seemed to spell ruin for their 1924 grid enemies.
 Coach VanFleet intimated that scrim- mage may be the program for Thurs day, however, the silent military head coach of the Gators may change his mind at the last minute.

LOTHIAN TO OPEN
 SEASON FRIDAY

LOTHIAN, Ala. Sept. 24-(Spe- cial.)-Dothan High school football eleven, being driven hard for their opening game here Friday evening, when they encounter the fast eleven from Blakely, Ga. The team will be some heavier than last season but the gap left by the graduation of seven letter men will be hard to fill. The team will be without the services of two. letter men from last season in the opening contest, w. Brown, a varsity end from last years eleven, and Bennett. tac- kle of last years varsity, both of these men being out of account academic ruling. Whidden also will be out of Fridays contest because of a practice rule. The loss of these three men will weaken the team some but for the ex- ception of few injuries they will en- ter the game in good condition and con- fident of giving the Georgians the fight of their life

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Battling forward with an irresistible rush with their fourth straight pennant in sight, the New York Giants today sent Pitts bug down to defeat for the second suc- cessive time, to 2. It was crush ing and probably decisive blow to the pennant hopes of the Pirates, who now are three and half games be- hind the champions. They have only a slim chance to catch the leaders.
 The makeshift team with which John McGraw is making his last stand, again covered itself with glory. Behind the fine twirling of Virgil Barnes, the Giants. played in sparkling fashion. The Pirates were out-generalled and out-gamed at every turn.
 Galnt rockies, plugging up the gaps left in their machine by injuries, again were heroes, for Wilson scored the first run with a circuit clout to right field in the fifth inning, while Bill Terry, substitute first sacker, came through with telling single in the sixth, SCOT ing Lindstrom with the second run after the Pirates had purposely passed Irish Meusel to get the recruit,
 This piece of strategy that went awry proved the turning point of the game, for the Giants went on to score three runs altogether in the sixth and clinched the game.
 The Pirates had men on bases in all but two innings, the sixth and eighth, and nine runners were stranded. They got two hits in the second and fifth innings but failed to score, when Barnes frightened and was aided by some fine support, particularly by Will son in center field.
 Emil Yde started for the Pirates, but retired after the sixth, and Johnny Morrison finished the game. It was only the third defeat Yde had suffered this season, against record of 15 vic tories, and it was his first setback at the hands of the Giants.

MEMPHIS TIES
 PAINTERS, B
Southern And Texas League Champions Bat
 tie To Deadlock

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 24.-Fort Worth and Memphis, Texas league and Southern association pennant winners, battled today to 3-3 tie in the inau- gural game of the Dixie series for pre- miere baseball honors of the south, dark ness halting the fray at the end of the eighth inning. .. ..,..
 Under the rules governing the series, totlay's game will be played off in ad- diti6p to the second game of the series originally scheduled for tomorrow be- fore the teams journey to Texas for the opening game on the grounds of the Texas league champions.
 Memphis started the scoring in the first inning when Doe" Prothro drove out long double, the only extra base hit of the game, and scored Gleason from first. Neither team scored after the opening marker until the fifth when Warmoth started off by walking Ed ginton and Tavener on eight pitched balls. Bischoff bunted safely down the third hase line and Warmoth let go wild pitch that struck Umpire Kane, behind the plate, on the leg and al- lowed Edginton to score. Tavener raced home with the second Fort Worth run ahead of the throwin of Pate's fly to the field and Calvo hit liner to Pro- thro, which the Memphis infielder knocked down, but could not field in time to stop Bischoff from crossing the piate.
 Memphis tied the score in the same inning when Prothro and Carlyle sin gled and both scored, PrOthro on Kohl becker's single and Carlyle when An derson hit a sharp grounder to second that bounced off Palmer's leg. into the field. Warmoth allowed seven hits and Pate nine and the Memphis pitcher had seven strikeouts to his credit and Pate four. Clarence Kraft, whose 55 home runs for the 1924 season set new minor league record, struck out twice snd failed to get hit. Each pitcher allowed two bases on balls.
 Today's game was started at 5 :45 o'clock to avoid conflict with events scheduled at the Tri-State fair, now in progress, but under an agreement reach ed tonight advancing the fair events, tomorrows game will start at 3 o'clock.

LEADERS STAY
 OUT IN FRONT
Pirates Throw Away Chances When They
 Lose To Giants

When the major league pennant scramblers come panting across the finishing line early next week in com pletion of two of the most exciting pennant races in modern baseball his tory, the Dodgers and Yankees may learn that runners never win marathons by simply keeping in pace" Winning races, they discover, is accomplished only by out-distancing your opponent.
 This philosophical lesson suggested itself Wednesday when the foremost pennant contenders-those in first and second places-all ended the day in the winning column. The gaps between these positions which are narrow re- mained stationary.
 The Giants lead of one full game over Brooklyn went through another day unscathed when they took another gall game from the Pirates at the Polo grounds.
 Playing with a considerably weaken ed lineup minus Frankie Frisch and Heinie Groh, both incapacitated by in- juries, McGraw'S men slapped out 4 to 2 victory over the team from Pitts- burg. Virgil Barnes, the youthful giant hurler, scored the victory over Emil Yde. Pittsburg's two run came off the bat of Earl Smith, the former Giant catcher, who knocked a pair of home runs.

GIANTS AND DODGERS.
 BOTH WIN CONTESTS
Grimes Wins For Brooklyn Though Hit Hard
 , And McGraws Beat Yde

BROOKLYN, Sept. 24.-Brooklyn won the final game of the Chicago series today, six to five after a third strenuous battle. Grimes went the route but was always in difficulties, the Cubs making IS hits, including home run by Adams. Grimes pulled himself out of several tight holes by flaming the third man to retire the side. Faultless fielding helped him at other times.
 Alexander started for Chicago but was taken out in the fourth after the Dodgers had scored four runs, three in the second on three errors and two outs and one in the fourth on a pass to Loftus, single by Grimes and Highs sacrifice fly. Pinch hitters and new pitchers followed rapidly. Wheeler was charged with the defeat when Brooklyn scored two runs off him in the seventh after his team had tied the game. High opened the seventh with a triple and Mitchell walked. Wheat's scratch hit sent in High and two force outs scored Mitchell. Grantham hit four singles.
 Score.

are liable to a penalty for interfering with the defensive sides opportunity to reach the ball. The field judge and umpire both are to watch violations under Section 3.
 Rule IT puts stop to the receiver of the forward pass running out of bounds and then coming back into the field of play to receive the pass. Under this same rule the last 10-yard penalty remaining in the book has been changed to 15 yards, namely, Intentionally throwing a forward pass to the ground. It has been made legal to decline the penalty on a forward pass.
 Rule IS finishes up the entire mat ter relating to onside kicks. If kicked ball crosses the scrimmage line, on one of the kicker's side can touch or re- cover the ball until it has touched an opponent, but any man may recover a kicked ball which has not crossed the line of scrimmage.

Jenks Gillem Appointed
 Head Coach Of Bulldogs

The relentless blade of Father Time has swung another stroke; the door of life has closed. The golden loom which spins the silvery thread of life is stilled, another soul has shuffled off it's mortal coil. Husky men, foot ball athletes, immune to pain and in- jury, walk idly, head bowed, over How ard college campus. The football field is vacant. Practice was suspended Wednesday afternoon due to the death of Coach Harris G. Cope early Wednes- day morning. Thursday afternoon the leaden feet of grief-struck men will again do players bidding, practice will be resumed. The Bulldog elan will take the field as before the catastrophe but with heavy hearts for leader lost and under new director.
 Assistant Coach Jenks Gillem was appointed head coach of the Bulldogs Wednesday and Tram Sessions, former star Alabama center, was named temp orary assistant. Chances are that Ses- sions will serve the season out as coach under Gillem.
 yandy Game Cancelled
 Another result of Coach Cope's death from an attack of peneumonia, also, is the cancelling of the game next Saturday with Vanderbilt. The pigskin will remain unhandled Saturday in in- tercollegiate competition, insofar as Howard college is concerned, for play CTS who looked to Cope as being beloved of men, can find no heart to battle on the gridiron.
 The plucky little Bulldog mentor battled to the last and when he urged the team to go out and bring home victory last Saturday the eleven hast ened to his bidding. Though they de- cisively trounced the Mar:Jn Cadets and brought the gladsome news back to his hospital bed the effect was a

MANY REVISIONS
 IN GRID RULES
Sailing, On-Side Kick And Pass Interference
 Ruled Against
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.---Several radical changes in football rules, de- cided upon last winter by gridiron auth critics, will be in effect during the con- ing season which gets into full swing the end of September.
 Chief among changes are those abolishing kicking tees, barring "pas- sive interference" on the screen pase, shifting the try-for-point from the five to the three-yard line and other altera- tions designed to speed up. the game.
 A summary of changes follows:
 In rule 1, section 3, the committee has added its approval to the so-called "offset" goal posts so that either straight line posts or offsets are legal
 PIiable Pads
 In Rule 8, Section 3, there is an answer to the generally increasing com plaint that certain stiff shoulder guards committee has legislated that shoulder guards must be padded outside as well as inside and cleats must not be dangerously sharp, and has urged all officials to relentlessly enforce every phase of the rule relating to equipment.
 Under Rule 6 comes the elimination to tees. All tees are swept out of exist ence, but on place-kick a player may hold the ball on the ground for the kicker. The ball is now kicked off from the middle of the field instead of from the 40-yard line. Section 9 has been al- tered so that any part of the players person being out of bounds counts just the same as the foot.
 Shift PIayRuIing
 Under Rule 9 the committee has practically placed shift plays in the hands of officials by legislating that players must come to an absolute stop and remain stationary in their new positions sufficiently long to prevent any doubt in the minds of the officials as to the legality of the play.
 Rule 10-The 6-yard-line has been changed to the 3-yard line on a try-for- point after touchdown.
 In Rule IA is the evidence of the com mittee's desire to speed up the game and prevent unnecessary and unreason- able delays. The official may arbitrarily call time whenever he thinks a team is unreasonably delaying putting the ball in play and may warn them or pena- lize them. In the case of calling of time for subStitutionS or for other reasons which appear to the official to be with the intent of lengthening the game, lie may instruct the timekeeper not to stop the watch but let time run on. Captains may now ask that time be called four times in each half, but the penalty for a greater number of requests has been increased to five yards.
 No Pass Interference
 In Rule 16 the screening of the for ward pass has been checked by a ruling that ineligible players must keep out
