Spieuous. to say the least. Once Mr.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Thcre will
be general peace meeting in this
city among the football men toward
the close of the month.
Whatever acerbities may have
arisen in the course of the active seat
son will be killed by the general Yule-

way. But it happens that the Foot
ball Coaches Association is a body
that grows stronger every year large

BOOST FOR OFFICIALS.
This meeting is followed by that
of the officials, and / want to 90 on
TtcpEu nON To Ol
that the year has been a brilliant
one so far as the officiating was con-
cerned. There aas been little com
plant. and in the course of such
games as it has been my fortune TO
witness, / have found the officiating
at times really remarkable.
Notably, the much discussed clip
ping" was caught several times, often
enough. indeed, to prove that it was
really in the book. And that was n
distinct gain.
CLEARER RULES NEEDED.
1t will be necessary, when the rules
committee meets, to go into little
more clarifying, but there is nothing
especially serious TO be done. The
majority, as / have said. will be
against any tinkering with the for
ward pass, and there will be minorl-
| ty in favor of certain restrictions.
That will be threshed out, and no
one knows what the outcome will be-.
But there will be chance TO talk 1t
over quietly without the heat of con-
flict of a high-strung season.
When the National Collegiate Ath'
letic Association gets together, there
will be plenty of constructive sugges-
tions, and, in word, there will be
opportunity in all these sessions to
settle down to a calm consideration
of the lessons of the season.

FONDNESS FOR TAXIs.

After he met a young mulatto in
Memphis and married her, although he
had wife in Europe, he came to New
York and Hell's Kitchen to build up
reputation as a wild young street
demon.
He rode all night in taxicabs, re-
fused to pay and then challenged the
drivers to fight for their fare-which
they frequently did.
He walked about town with wine
bearer at his heels and on three sue
cessive days invaded the Pennsylvania
station too late to catch a train for
Memphis. After each report that the
train vas gone, he would call his
wine bearer, n negro almost as huge
as himself, punch him, then slake his
thirst.
THREW HIM OUT.
After three days the little gray
haired information clerk became tired
of the daily invasion and took Sikh by
the scruff of the neck and threw him
out of the station.
As his wife identified the body, I'M
consciously she uttered her eulogy for
him.
"He was a good boy she said,
but they didn't understand him. He
was full of mischief"
