BY WILLIAM WEEKS,

- HICAGO, February 17.-Amos
Alonzo Stagg, sr., dean Of the
country's foot ball coaches
and senior member Of the
Rules Committee, believes the changes
in the playing code will take nothing
from the game from the spectators
viewpoint. and will mean much to
coaches and players.
Stagg. who will coach his forty-first
University Of Chicago squad next Fall,
agrees with other members OF the COM
mittee, that the alterations are the
most constructive since 1906, and today
predicted that the benefits will soon
become evident.
To my way Of thinking" he said
this years changes will have the finest
effect on foot ball of any since 1906
From the spectators viewpoint the game
will seem very little changed, but to
coaches and players the changes will
have very real meaning"
Objections against some of the
changes, particularly those barring
flying blocking and tackling, will, he
believes, be forgotten when they are
1ully UNDERSTOOD.
HAPPENED to be chairman of the
i subcommittee which altered the
blocking and tackling rules" he
said, "and We acted after studying the
the reports Of Investigations of Fielding
Yost of Michigan and Parke Davis. We
did not mean that a player cannot
leave his feet in blocking and tackling,
but decided tn restrict the action IN
the instant he makes contact with the
bell carrier or the man he is attempt
ing to block. The committee wished
only to cut out catapulting the body
through the air and its attendant
danger.
Some criticism has been made
against the rule making the ball auto
matically dead when any part OF the
ball carriers body, other than his feet
or hands. touches the ground while in

N. Y. A. c. IS D0PED
TO WIN OWN MEET
Venzke and Sexton, Record
Breakers, Due TO Star in
Games Tonight.
BY the Associated Press.

-A@FYORK, February 1.-Two
~f3-record-smashing performers,
/ " Gene Venzke and Leo Sexton,
bid fair to give the home club
major share of the. honors in the
annual New York Athletic Club indoor
track and field meet tonight.
Venzke, the brightest star uncovered
in an indoor season that has been full
of stars. tops a great field in the Bax-
ter mile and is considered almost a
sure bet to win. The question before
the fans is whether he can better his
own indoor mile mark of Ali 1-5.
Sexton, who heaved a 16-pound shot
for a world indoor record last Satur-
day. is another outstanding favorite,
with only Herman Brix, the big Cali
fornian who formerly beld the mark,
to challenge him.
If VenZke can't come home ahead OF
the fine collection of runners who make
up the field for tonight's race. another
runner who wears the N. Y. A. G. COL
ore is rated as second choice. He is
Leo Lermond, who chased the Potts
town, Pa, youngster to his new record
III Gays ago. SIdllcIlScIS w lllC1
premacy are Carl Coan OF Pennsylvania,
who won the Baxter Cup last year;
Frank Crowley of Manhattan College
and Glenn Dawson, University OF Okla
homa speedster.
Heading the list of outsiders" who
hope to win from the N. Y. A. c. con-
tenders is George Spitz, who apparently
has not found his high jumping cell
ing" and doesn't know where 1t is.
Twice during the current season he has
broken the indoor record he set last
year, raising it to feet 812 inches at
Boston Saturday.
Emmett TOPPING of Eoyola Univer-
sity, New Orleans, is ravorite among
a collection of star sprmUers, which in
cludes George Simpson, FORMER Ohio
State flash, and Ira Singer, the national
indoor champion.
Entries in the middle distance events
include Victor Burke of Georgetown,
Russell Chapman of Boston. Dale Let's,
the Chicago star, and Milton Sander OF

LABORATORY YIELDS
new FACTS ON
KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN
It's "Bulk" and Vitamin +
Help Relieve Constipa-
ton; Also Has Blood
building Iron

New laboratory experiments
demonstrate that Kellogg's ALL
BRAN has sufficient "bulk" to ex-
ercise the intestines, as well as
Vitamin 3 to help tone the intes-
tinal tract.
In addition, Kellogg's ALL-BRAN
supplies twice as much blood-build-
ing iron as an equal amount by
weight of beef liver.
Now you can overcome common
constipation by this pleasant "cere-
al way" and Danish the headaches,
backaches, loss of appetite and
energy that so frequently result.
No need to worry along with pills
and drugs, which often lead to HARM
full habits.
Instead, just eat two tablespoon
fuls daily of Kellogg's ALL-BRAN
= adequate for most types of con-
stipation. If your intestinal trouble
is not relieved this way, see your
doctor. The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is
much like that of lettuce. Inside
the body, it forms a soft mass,
which gently clears the intestines
of wastes.
Special processes make ALL-BRAN
finer, softer, more palatable. 1t is
not habit-forming. Equally tasty
as a cereal, or used in cooking.

WAR SONGS

PRACTICALLY every English-speaking
soldier in the World War knew about
Mademoiselle from Armentieres.
Knew about her, that is to say. in song.
For the most famous Of all war songs
beyond a doubt, was that highly im-
proper ballad which had the catch-line
''Hinky-dinky parlez-yous. which told
of the adventures of this tabled damSel
from Armentieres.
Mademoiselle herself remained shroud-
ed in mystery, until Just the other day;
and then an American composer, who is
in France making a study Of World War
songs, announced that he had found out
some things about the lady and had
learned how the song came into being.
There was cafe at Armentieres, it
seems, and mademoiselle worked there.
She was a very proper young lady, and
one day general. attempting familiar
tiles with her, got his face roundly
slapped and at a regimental sing few
nights later some inspired songster in
troduced a ditty dealing with the Incl
dent.
And that, it seems, was the start of it;
and the anecdote leads one to muse about
soldiers songs, and to wonder how they
originate and what it takes to set fight
ing men chanting the same chorus.
The World War soldiers sang this
ditty about the girl from Armentieres
But what did other soldiers in other
wars sing? They sang songs from music
halls. of course - but they had their
own special songs, too, and those songs
never got in the anthologies. and they
have been forgotten. The Roman leg
ionnaires, it is said, had q ribald song
about a girl named Lalage, who doubt
less was q prototype OF this Armentieres
charmer; and it would be worth Il good
deal to know how the song went, and
what its tune was.
Men who march off to fight must sing.
They will sing everything and anything,
except the pompouS patriotic pieces
which the stay-at-homes like; and usual
ly they evolve their own pet songs, and,
singing them, march off to die-at Ypres,
or Chickamauga or Waterloo, OF Sara
toga, or wherever it may be, and all we
get is a tantalizing reminder that some
where back Of each song there was some
flesh-and-bood figure like this mysteri-
Gus girl from Armentieres.
