died at hospital here at o'clock
from injuries suffered earlier in
the day when an automobile he was
driving left the state fair ground
track and overturned. Nunally was
rracticing for automobile races to
be held on the track Sunday after
noon.
Just what caused the accident
probably never will be known as
the nearest witnesses We're a half
mile away and Nunally was uncon-
scious when he was reached. Veter-
ans Of the speed oval were of the
opinion, Ahowever, that Nunally at
tempted to take the turn at such
fast speed that he could not hold
his car to the track.
Nunally would have been 81 years
old tomorrow. He is survived by
the widow and two small sons. He
was a veteran of Arizona automobile
racing and was known as a dare
devil Of the dirt tracks.

McKechnie said today to The Asso-

by the addition of Paul Waner and
Hal Rhine from San Francisco.
"waner is a wonderful hitter and

has shown exceptional abilit vat Sec
ond, third and short. Even II he
should not crowd out Eddie Moore at

utility infielder.
I'm the pitching department, Shee-
han has shown enough to warrant
saying he will be of great service this
season. OF the newcomers, Crowder
and Songer give every indication of
being major league timber.
Il feel we have the hardest hitting
and best base running club in the

with such fielders as Wright, Tray

than average pitchers, I can see no
reason why we should not repeat In

Rules Committee
Takes Vicious Sock
At Forward Pass

New YORK, March 20.-(AP)-Four
important gridiron rule changes, one
placing a check on the indiscriminate
use of the forward pass, and another
designed to eliminate the intentional
safety. were made today by the foot
ball rules committee in annual ses-
sion here.
The change involving the forward
pass, which provides a penalty of five
yards for the second and third incom-
plete passes in any series of plays,
came as a surprise in view Of repeated
statements from members of the COM
mittee that they were opposed to any
tampering with the aerial game.
The safety rule was revised so that
a team making a safety must put the
ball in play on it's own 20-yard line by
kick on the first down with the op-
posing team restrained to the 30-yard
line. The other changes involve the
boundary lines to keep all play within
the legal playing field.
The changes provide that:
1.-The second and third incomplete
forward passes. which shall be made
before first down in any series Of
plays, each shall be penalized by a
| loss of five yards.
"A team making safety must put
the ball in play on its own 20-yard line
by a punt, drop kick, place kick or on
side kick on the first down. with the
opposing team lined up on the 30-yard
line.
s-The ground rules will apply at
the sidelines and endlines 1T the
boundaries of legal playing field, thus
making the ball dead" automatically
wherever it crosses the line. The side
touching the ball last in fair territory
shall be given possession at the point
in which It passes over the line.
mo player who steps out of
bounds on a kickoff or free kick shall
be eligible TO recover a loose ball.
The new forward pass rule was de-
signed to discourage the ill-conceived
pass as q last minute resort by team
In the ruck. Two such penalties would
be the most team could incur in any
one series of plays under the ruling.
since the first play of a series would
, be exempted and the ball would auto
matically change hands after an in
complete pass on the fourth down.
In explaining the new safety rule,
Chairman Z. K. Hall said this was
drafted to eliminate a series of inten-
tional safeties by team to kick on
the first down, with the. onside kick
the only weapon available to gain re-
possession of the ball.
The change making the ground rules
apply at the side lines and end lines
will tend to keep all play on the act
ual playing field. Chairman Hall said.
In the event the ball does cross the
side line or end line after a tumble, it
/, shall go to the side touching it last in
. fair territory In the event of a
blocked kick going over the end line it
shall be counted as a safety, irrespec-
tive of who RECEIVERS 1t. but if it goes
over the side line 1t shall go to the
team which blocked the kick.
The rule making a player ineligible
| to recover loose ball if he steps out
| of bounds on a Kickoff or free kick
| was drafted to prevent players. par
ticularly ends, from stepping over the
| line to avoid contact with opposing
players. This rule applies only in case
of a tumble and does not eliminate a
| potential taciler from the play.

COLBY STARTING
DRIVE FOR new
GYM TUESDAY

Especial to the Kennebec JournaN
waterville, Me-, Mar. 22.-The
Colby male undergraduate body will
assemble in the mems division gym
nasium on Tuesday evening in a
grand rally which will be held in
the interests of the fund for the new
gymnasium, which they hope will
receive an impetus from that gath
ering. At present there Is no def
mite building fund for new gym
and the Student Council has thought
it advisable to exactly determine the
demand for the new structure by
means of this rally.
There is at the present time
great need for a new gymnasium
at Colby and without this the other
Maine colleges will have an inesti-
mable advantage over the Water
willie boys in all branches Of athletics
due to the fact that all three Of
the opposing institutions have mod
ern structures in which ito conduct
training during the season when the
teams cannot get out of doors. The
baseball team at the present time
is working out in the gymnasium
at the same time that the weight
men are supposed to have their
practice and such conflicts as this
are unavoidable in the present gym
nasium. To overcome the handicap
which Colby Is under because of
the fact that her gymnasium is not
adequate, the demand from the
student body has sufficient basis and
if the present gymnasium is filled to
capacity on Tuesday night the ex-
tent of the student demand will be
forcibly impressed.
Alumni and undergraduates will
give short talks, the college orches-
ira will furnish music, and other en-
tertainment will be furnished by the
| committee made up of Student
Council members. This committee
consists of Stephen B. Berry 90 of
Providence, r. l., Philip E. Keith
70 Of East Millinoeket and Donald
E. sprague 90 of Boothbay Harbor.
