ASUNCION, Paraguay, Dec. 25.
Orders were issued by the gov
ernment today for rehabilitation of
the force called to the colors during
the present crisis. The demobiliza-
tion was made possible, it was ex-
planned, by the acceptance of the
mediation offer of the Pan-American
Conference at Washington. There is
no order yet by the Bolivian govern
ment to demobilize, and foreign ex-
perts here say that the Paraguayan
government is taking a desperate
risk in its attempt to prove it is
not the aggressor in this conflict.
BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 25 (UP).
The Asuncion correspondent of
the newspaper La Presna reported
the receipt today of an official dis
patch which stated that Bolivian air-
planes flew over Paraguayan troops
in recent clashes and dropped four
bombs.
One of the bombs, according to
the dispatch, exploded but caused no
damage.
The Bolivians, according to the
La Presna dispatch, als6 used ma
chine guns upon Paraguayan forts
and troops, but no casualties re-
suited. The unexploded bombs were
reported to have been delivered to
President Jose Guggiaria of Para
quay yesterday.

 GRID RULES FOR 1928
Al Wftanler, Assistant to Bill Roper Says Element of Chance Win
 Be Removed.

New York, Feb. 10 (UP)-Al Wittmer, first assistant coach to Bill Roper at Princeton, opposes the changes made in the football rules for 1928 on the ground that they will remove to a great extent the element of chance from the game.
 T do not believe the changes will benefi: the game" Wittmer. Q for mer Princeton star. said. The rul- ing in regard to the. punt is poor one because it makes 1t impossible for a man to recover punt and run with it. I think that was one of the most beautiful sights in the game. But now all a man can do is fall on the ball.
 "The simplification about the lateral pass will not make officiating any easier in my opinion. Now there will be a question as to whether the tall has or hss not been passed a distance of two yards. ] think the changes were unnecessary and will not be an improvement"
 Roper. who is member of the football rules committee, defends the lew rules.
 "On the whole I think the changes will be an improvement. because they have simplified the task of offi- ciating without taking anything from the game.

IT the New Britain High school hasketb ball team is able to overcome the obstacle which will be paced before it when 1t meets the New Haven Hillhouse high school team tomorrow afternoon, it will be the favorite to win the Triangular league championship. The reason for this may be found in the fact that tn. team will entertain its two rivals from Hartford and New Haven on it's own hoor In the two contests which will be left after tomorrow's game.
 Tn the last decade the Hardware City team has been successful in de- feating New Haven only two times on it's own floor and both were migh- ty close games The last victory was in 1926 when Captain Roger scully's team accomplished the feat.
 There seems to be a jinx connect ed with playing on tho New Haven floor. In 1918 the streak of i'll luck first took hold on the high school boys when the team went through the entire season without a loss and was defeated in the final game by the Hillhouse team on its own floor. The loss may be attributed to the fact that the captain of the team that year. Billy" Burns. died a few days previous to the game and his fellow players were disheartened.
 Tn 1923. the state championship team explained by Jimmy" Rey- holds broke the jinx and defeated the New Haven five on its own floor. Three years later, the New Britain team journeyed to the Elm City and defeated its ancient rival for the second time. A defeat was pinned on the Red and Gold team every year with the exception of these feY seasons.
 Although every member of the team will be eligible as far as studies 50. the team will be weakened slightly because of injuries to #. captain. Fred Saunders. He suffered an injury to his ankle recently ant his physician believes the ligament, in the leg were torn. He will play however but he may suffer a handi cap In jumping at his center posi- ton.
