CHANGE FOOTBALL RULES.
Every time the rules committee
changes the code, the coaches hurry
to adjust their formations. Now the yare
scanning three major changes which
i are.
!. Forward passes grounded in the
end zone are TO be ruled incomplete on
first, second and third downs. Form
erly touch back was awarded the de-
Tending team)
2. The five-yard penalty, for all in
complete forward passs except the first
in any series of downs has been re-
moved.
3. The short-axisA diameter Of the
ball has been reduced three quarters of
an inch.
| This last may seem insignificant but
il may develop to be the most import
ant change of all. The first requisite of
passer is hand large enough to grip
/ the ball BY reducing the diamenter
Of the ball even slightly. a fair passer
will make a good passer. So the rules
committee have reduced the ball in
diameter to encourage passing.
| AS result of these changes, we will
probably see more touchdowns, and
more excitement than ever

PEPTOMISTS.
AT an edifying and interesting session
Wednesday, the Peptomists chose their
new pledges. The members had decided
beforehand on a method of song and
dance to test and eliminate prospective
members. This looked quite severe; but
was, according to several who under
went treatment, very simple. After diff
ferent numbers of close harmony, each
trio of quaking would-be was request
ed to skip, hop run, and walk about
the stage. This they did under bar
rage of wise cracks and remarks from
the sidelines" That these "uncalled-for
items" proved embarrassing to the par-s#
Elephants could be attested to by the
shades of red, varying from magenta to
vermillion, to be seen on their faces
and by the Sinking gait with which
they left the stage. However, they were
not alone in their misery, for each girl
was given the same course of training
After the trial performances, the init
ates left the room, while the Peptomists
gathered closely and compared notes. 1t
was with much discussion that they
finally agreed on the lucky pledges
