 four periods of heated play by mak- ing good a free try with slightly
 more than go seconds to play. While
 their offense was slow and allowed the strong five-man defense of the visitors to get set. the home players
 were in much better form than 2

 due to the brilliant shooting of Cap.

 fouls were called for this sort of thing, but the local team fell down on it's free losses. putting in only two out of 1..
 With Goffa acting as pivot man on the foul-line. Compagnone and Parparian took passes to make it 40 as the contest opened. and Red" dribbled through for another basket. Anderson scored g poirt for the Aggies. and then Parparian end ed the first-quarter scoring with a one-handed shot from the corner.

Joe Goffa was hurt at this point, being knocked down and having the wind knocked out of him.
 When play was resumed the Az Eies practically jumped the whistle and fooled New Britain by a long pass the length of the floor. where Hyman tied things with 8 goal. The visitors went ahead for the first time when McCombe shot a pretty packet, but Kerelejza tied the score once more with one-armed ding. A minute later he had a free try and blew it. A double foul was then called on Murphy and Compagnone. Murphy put his in and Red" miss- cd, and the game went to the Az gies.
 Compagnone and Parparian led the club attack. while McCombe's play and the defensive work of Dragat featured for the Aggies. The

MAKE CHANGES IN FOOTBALL RULES
FumbleS Will Be Dead at Point
 Of Recovery

| New York, Feb. 19 (UP)-Undtr
 the new football rules there will be
 no such thing as long runs for touchdowns after scooping up
 fumbles.
 In the past, ball which had been
 fumbled was free and might be
 picked up and advanced by either team. Now a fumbled ball recov- cred by, the opposing side will be dead at the point of recovery. The fumbling eleven. however, may pick up the ball and continue it's advance.
 Roy Rieges' famous wrong-way run in the California George Tech game at Pasadena New Years Day would have been impossible under the new legislation announced yes- terday by the national football rules committee after three day session at Absecon, N. J.
 The new rufc will not apply in case of forward or backward passes which are intercepted before strik- ing the gound. nor will it apply to blocked kicks, which will be played as heretofore.
 Three other important changes were made in the rules for 1929 as i follows:
 l.. All kicks legally recovered by 1 the kicking side may now be ad- vanced in accordance with the uni form rules. This rule now includes free kicks and kick offs, whereas 1t l formerly applied only to kicks rom scrimmage.
 2. On forward passes no player l on the side in possession of the ball who has crossed the line of crim- mage shall interfere with an oppon- ent until the ball has been touched except in in actual attempt to eaten the ball.
 5. The try-for- point after touch- down will be made from the two- yard line instead of the three-yard line.
 The committee feels that it has greatly eliminated the possibility of fluke touchdowns by it's new rule on the fumbled ball.
 '1n considering the proposal that fumbled balls should be declared dead at the point of recovery" the committee announced, eff recovered by the team on the defense, the committee took into consideration the fact that in the great majority Of cases the actual tumble of the ball is the error of single player a whole.
 Also the fact that loss of the ball by reason of a tumble is generally considered to be the equivalent to the loss of about 40 yards. namely the distance lost by the tumble it. self plus the average distance of a punt, S5 yards. the opportunity for which has been lost by reason of the tumble"
 The question of moving the goal posts back to the goal line was l brought up but it was decided to leave them where they are, i 0 yards 1 behind the goal line.
 E. K. Hall of Dartmouth was re- ! elected chairman. Other members of the commiteee present were w. l w. Roper, Princeton: T. A. D. Jones, Yale; II. J. Stegeman. Georgia: Aionzo Stagg.

A Gloomy Texas Nj. G.

Congressman Hatton w. Summers Of the Dallas
district ioIrneyed from Washington to Amarillo to
tell the lawyers of Texas and New Mexico that "our
government Is changing from a representative to a
bureaucratic form and the system IS the most tyran-
meal and susceptible to corruption ever devised"
Gloomy Summers made a plea for the return Of
state rights, asserting that the present trend toward
naturalization Of power in washington would, if con-
tinued, ruin the nation" Southern democrats, SEN
ators and representatives, are responsible for sec
lions Of the system, which the Dallas prophet Of
pessin1ism brands as the most tyrannical and sus-
ceptible to corruption ever devised"
How will it be possible to return to the "state
rights system Of governments" The latest is a ma
tional ranger force, wearing uniforms as worn by the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police, to enforce the laws
on the Mexican and Canadian border lines.
A Michigan congressman, a republican and a pro
leader, has drafted a bill and this bill is said to have
received the Hoover stamp of approval. Now will the
Dallas congressman vote for the measure which is to
be known as 1.-THE United States Board Of Patrol
and in so voting strike down "the police power of the
state?"

ZACH ONE OF Us SHALL
GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF
TO GOD" Romans 1872
r OktIanS 1852

ton the mercy Of Col SO Ezekiel
was commissioned to SAY unto
them, AS I live, saith the Lord God,
I have no pleasure in the death
Of the wicked; but that the wicked
turn from his way and live; turn ye
turn We from your evil ways; fol
why will We die, 0 house Of Israel"
The goal and object Of this message
of personal responsibility was not
the destruction Of Gods people, but
their repentenance from sin.
The people were charging God
with injustice; Ezekiel proved that
God was absolutely just. But we
need more than justice at Gods
hands; we need the mercy and grace
of a Saviour who gives himself a
ransom for our sins. This is the
clearer light which has come to us
through the cross in which justice
is satisfied and mercy made possible.

that the first week of the real flood Of 1929 Texas
wheat placed more than So, 100000 in cash into the
pockets of the growers.
Place it in the record that the peak OF the Texas

the record made as of the date Of July Is since the
harvesting and selling season in the commonwealth
was launched.
Place it in the record that grain men now estimate
the Texas wheat crop from 100000 to 100000
bushels with the unknown quantity the area from
Amarillo north to the Texas state line-a section
which may this year produce nearly half Of the Texas
crop and where harvesting is on"
At the beginning of the selling season wheat sold
at IS cents; then it jumped to the 81 mark. Now 1t
may 60 higher. Ten years ago Frank Kell predicted
that the day would come when West Texas would be
the rival Of Kansas as a wheat producer. Kell knows

Secretary Of Labor James ]. Davis has let it be
known that enforcement Of the immigration laws is
more effective now than at any other time in the
history of the United States. Figures tell the story.
immigration Commissioner Hull says that 44s137 aliens
were admitted to the United States in May and %, 776
left the country. IN April 1881 were admitted and
1920 departed.
South American republics are the Meccas of Eu-
ropeans at the present writing. Thousands Of surplus
population Of continental Europe are making homes
in South America and millions are expected to take
flight to the Latin republics in coming years.
Some day there will be a United States Of South
America With a population as great as that of the
United States of North America.

Rv DIR ALVIN e. BELL

During the IL years preceding the
destruction of Jerusalem, while Jere-
milan was prophe5ying in Jerusalem,
Ezekiel was prCrhesyirg to his peo-
PIE who, like himself, had been ar
ried away in an earlier captivity
in the land of the ChaldeanS. And
it is interesting to note that the
frame Of mind of his hearers in
Chaldea was much the same as that
of Jeremiah's hearers back in the
homeland.
Both prophets found the people
prone to engage in that ancient and
popular indoor and outdoor sport of
passing the buck of attempting
to shift the responsibility of their
situation to someone ether than
themselves. Adam began the vener-
able custom when he said "the wom-
an thou gavest me-" and we have
been at it ver since.
Sour Grapes
In jeremiah, chapter 81, We found
that the people in Jerusalem were
refusing to see that they were in
any sense personally responsible for
the ills they were suffering, and
were seeking to comfort themselves
by blaming their punishmentS upon
the sins Of former generations, as
they quoted a familiar and popular
proverb. "The fathers have eaten
sour grapes, and the children's teeth
are set on edge" Now, 10 years
later, another group a thousand
miles away in q strange land con-
front another prophet with the same
proverb as their explanation Of the
captivity they were suffering. To
this Ezekiel entered a stout denial,
saying: "Wn1.. n:ca1 sc that We
use this proverb concerning the land
Of Israel saying, The fathers have
eaten sour grapes, and the Cnildren's
teeth are set on edge?' AS I live,
salt hthe Lord God, We shall not
have occasion any more to use this
proverb in Isreal. Behold! all souls
are mine; as the soul Of the father,
SO also the soul Of the son is mine;
the soul that sinneth shall die"
In other words, everyone stands up
on his W feet before God. Re
sOcnsibility Is becoming a personal
matter rather than a corporate or
national matter.
The Lord gave Ezekiel q simple
parable Of a watchmsn placed Oh
duty to warn the people Of the ap-
proach of any enemy, and reminded
him Of the part Of the sentry who
should fail to sound the alarm at the
approach of an enemy. So thou,
son of man, I have set thee a watch
man unto the house Of Israel, there
fore hear the word at my mouth,
and give them warning from me-"
Should he prove faithless in warning
the wicked, God would require their
blood at Ezekiel's hands.
The Sinners Responsibility
1t was indeed a stern message for
a day when sternness was demanded,
and the people were prone to ques-

Camping in u. S. Forest Banned

National forests in five western states are closed
to campers except at points where approval camp
grounds are established. This order was issued by the
United States district forester in an effort to cope
with the growing hazard of forest fires incident to dry
weather. There are many hog tourists abroad in the
land. They flout the rules Of the forest reserves Or
ganization. They kindle fires where they see fit.
They leave camp without extinguishing the live en-
bers. They cover the ground with inflamabIe trash.
They are a nuisance as we'll as a menace.

Lawmakers Are Grinding

Texas lawmakers are grinding. Experts among
them are figuring and the governor is waiting. This
is the third session Of the 41st legislature. Lest we
forget, the house appropriation bills called for a total
Of s47, 780.55O. Lest we forget, the senate appropria-
lions call for s57,711,o13.- Sen. Pollard and his COM
mittee have been stand-patters. Rep. Wallace and
his committee have been stand-patters. AS Tor the
governor he has been a stand-patter.
In other words he insists that the total Of the ap-
propriations must fit the revenue in sight and the
revenue in sight as he figures it is below the SoO'OOo'-
600 mark. Before the adjournment Of the second spe-
cial session conferees were appointed by the senate
and the house and the work of the free conference
as reported to the legislature called for an eXpendl-
tute of $50, 174,O71, this exclusive Of claims and &C
counts measure of 1887, SAB; the Alamo land purchase
proposal of 5O,OO0; $780, 600 for a monument to Da-
vid Crockett; $4,000 for an underground survey;
SA50O00 supplementary rural aid and S~1,50O,0OO for a
Parker county monument.
Gov. Moody continues to stand pat. He has only
about $40, 900 coming in and this will force him
to go to the constitutional limit in fixing the ad va
loren tax IS cents. Requests to the board Of control
from the heads Of all departments Of government. in
GLIDING educational heads, reached a grand total OF
64.284.84 On the house side total appropriations
reached SAT, On the senate side s57,711,013.
AS a result Of free conference the appropriations
were whitfield to $50 74,O71 and sent to the governor.
Six Of the money bills were vetoed and returned to
the lawmaking branch. The rural aid bill is said to
be on the way. Bear in mind the ad valorem tax was
fixed at % cents for the past year having been re-
duced from 25 cents theprevious year. From 1922 to
1925 inclusive it was IS cents. And also bear in mind
that the constitutional tax limit is n cents on the
500 taxable value and the ad valorem tax, which pro-
duces the general fund, cannot go beyond 35 cents.
Lawmakers hold the purse strings. They provide
the revenue. It is their prerogative as we'll as their
privilege to tap new sources of revenue. To date they
have refused to adopt the tapping process. As the
New York taxicab driver said to his befuddled pas
senger, Where do we go from here?"

Something New Under the Sun

Webb county constructed a concrete highway, "one
of the longest and best of any county in Texas" at
a cost Of SAT-, O65y67 from a $500 900 bond issue, land
in addition to this constructed a paved artery from
that main highway into Miranda City at an addi-

up to 1929, 1923 49,"
According to a Laredo correspondent, this Is one
of the business matters Of which the Webb county
commissioners are proud. Webb county financiers
and road builders appear to employ building methods
all their own.
