May Open Game
Rules Men of National
Federation to Meet
Friday in Chicago
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Dec. 30.-High school
football, which profited by the adop-
ton of a more open type of game
during 1899, may take another step
next week toward further speeding
up the sport in 1910.
The Football Rules Committee of
the National Federation of State
High School Athletic Associations
will meet here next Friday. Grid
iron regulations made by this COM
mittee officially have been adopted
for all prep games in Is States and
in several large cities in other
States.
"The popularity Of the interscho-
lastic game showed a big increase
this last year." said H. v. Porter,
national federation secretary. This
can be attributed to the fact that
the Rules Committee has been in
terested in adapting the game to
the capabilities and needs Of boys
of high school age. The rules have
been simplified, safety features have
been promoted and a more open
type of game sponsored"
Study Questionnaires.
When the rules officials assemble
they will study numerous ques-
tionnaires obtained from high
school coaches and officials in every
section of the Nation. Porter indi-
Gated there is considerable likeli-
hood the rules body may open up
further the prep game through ap-
proval of rule permitting any
number of forward passes on one
play, provided they are all made
from behind the line of scrimmage.
Reports from practically every
section of the Nation, Porter said,
showed spectators preferred fast,
open game rather than one in
which sheer power was featured.
Attendance Is Higher.
During the last year the preps
under the association banner were
permitted to pass from any spot be-
hind the line of scrimmage and this
rule did much, Porter said, in OPEN
ing up the high school game. Under
intercollegiate rules pass is allowed
only from a spot at least five yards
behind the Scrimmage line.
Crowds generally were larger dur
ing 1889 than in 1898, reports
showed. The top prep crowd Of the

ceeded in closing the gap between
the two.
Billy Elwood's desperate toss with
only 3 seconds of play remaining

led the scoring with 8 points. And
it was Clyde Thompson's goal that

Seek Perpetual Care

The Kennewick Cemetery Asso-

for the perpetual care Of plots. Until
now care of the grounds has been
part Of the organizations annual
program, but because Of its ever
increasing size, 1t is becoming more
and more of a problem to pay the
expenses with 1t.
The association Is offering per-
|petual care for ten dollars per lot.
In addition, If the payment is made
within the next six months, half of
the delinquent charges win be can
celled.
These rates apply, of course, only
to those lots sold prior to 1894, as
since that time the perpetual up
keep charges have been added to the
purchase price of the lots.
Because Of the increasing costs,
the association warns that it may
be necessary in the future to omit
care on the lots which do not nav
for the service.
Anyone wishing further details Is
invited to call Mrs. Mulkey, secre-
tary Of the association.
