The third of five basket ball
double headers being staged by ST.

Tech High School tonight with
st. Johns meeting Bethesda Chevy
Chase in the 7:45 opener and
Gonzaga playing Eastern in the
nightcap. Eastern is subbing for
Durham IN. c. High, which was
unable to keep its schedule date.
The st. John s-Bethesda game
finds the latter a slight choice,
mainly off its record of three wins
in five starts. st. Johns, which gave
Central hot scrap a few days ago,
has not won in four efforts, but is
improving.
Gonzaga has split in four games
and the two losses were by small

Games this afternoon bring Blair

As Rules Body Cuts

By the Associated Press.
PALM SPRINGS, Calf, Jan. S.
College football fans may mark
down four changes in the rule book
for 1910, including one designed to
speed up play and another to en-
courage the use of short forward
passes.
The major change, announced by
the Rules Committee of the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton at the conclusion of its meet
ing at the Desert Inn here yester-
day. involves the short forward pass.
The new rule says that when a
forward pass touches an ineligible
player on or behind the line of
scrimmage, the penalty will be
merely the loss of the down.
Roughing Penalty Changed.
If the passer is trapped. however,
and throws the ball to save yardage
and it touches an ineligible man
who is on or behind the line, the
penalty will be the same as for in
tentionally grounding a pass: name
ly, IS yards and loss of the down.
The same penalty still exists if
the pass touches an ineligible player
beyond the scrimmage line.
The penalty for roughing a passer
will, In the future, be enforced from
the spot Of the previous down. Here
tofore, IN the case of completed or
intercepted pass, the penalty was
enforced from the point of the foul.
which often made it necessary for
the offended team to refuse the per-
atty.
In order to speed up the game, the
committee reduced the time allowed
in putting the ball into play from
80 seconds to Is seconds.
New Rule on Cleats.
The fourth new rule requires that
cleats be three-eighths of an inch
at the top, or point, instead of one
half inch, and that the top be paral.
lei with the base. This was the onl,
recommendation suggested by the
American Coaches Association which
was adopted
Two rule claHfications were made

1t also was made clear that on

that he is going to kick. This ap-

Candidate has made one sluring remark about any
other Candidte, this is a record to be proud of. Every
one of the Candidates who has filed for Nomination
in the April 9th, Primary has agreed to roll up his
sleeves pull off his coat, hang up his hat, and go to
the bat for all their is in him for the winner on April
9. This is another record to hang up in the Calendar
of memory. Never in the History of the State of Ne
braska, at least for the past 81 years, has such a
record been made. The whole Primary fight has
been for the Republican party, one for all and all for
one, without hundreds of lively, joyful, poppy meet
forings in every County in the State of Nebraska.
The Republican State Official family has a keen eye
for party success when they selected Sen. Kenneth
S. Wherry as their leader for the 1910 job, to awaken
the Standpat Republicans to the point where he
would be willing to give and take and the progress
sive Republican to come back into the folds and put
forth a hero effort, and also to make the party a
success for the 1910 Campaign throughout America.
We don't know of another man who could have did
this job SO thoroughly And appropriations for this
hard work will study the character and the princi-
pies of each Candidate that has put forth in this
Campaign and study the ability of the individual to
get votes and then pick the best mn on Primary
election day on April 8. Of we all do this it will make
the job for the Chairman of the Rep. Central State
Committee, Sen. Kenneth S. Wherry, a much more
pleasant one to perform between now and the 18th
of November.
