I. for the present session has just come from the presses, and copies are being distributed. The book is well gotten up, and gives in convenient form a great deal of information about thelnstitute. One of the points in which it differs from its predecessors for many years lies in the fact that it names $400 instead of $365.00 as the sum total of all fixed charges of cadets from the state, it will be noted that Colonel R. T. Kerlin, Ph. D., a graduate of Yale, and Johns Hopkins and a Spanish American war veteran, heads the department of English, while Colonel Ford has charge of that of Latin and history. The current register contains un-usually accurate information of the alumni. Military Notes The few days remaining be-fore the visit of the inspector will be spent in perfecting com-pany and battalion drill; a high degree of efficiency has been at-tained in the several special drills. The inspector will be here oii the 18th and 20th instant. Field equipment for two com-panies has been received from the state authorities, and the companies will be instructed in its use as soon as the inspection is concluded. The two who learn this work best will give an exhibition drill in the prepara-tion of a field encampment at finals. The practice marched will be-gin the second week in May and the battalion will be out about eight days.

In formulating rules for a game of this sort the finest experts must be in complete ig-norance of the effect of their changes will be until they have stood the test of a season of ac-tualu se. It is hard to tell just how much, if any, the game will be improved, or how much, if any, the danger incident thereto will be lessened. Among South-ern coaches the opinion seems prevalent that it will degenerate to a "game of marbles," as Coach Gloth expresses it. The changes, which are noted below, will revolutionize both the style of coaching and the methods of attack which have heretofore obtained. A brief resumen of the new rules, or the points wherein they differ from the old, appears below: 1. Removal of the require-ment that the player who re-ceives the ball from the snap-back runs five yards to either side before advancing. 2. A requirement that seven men be maintained by the of-fense on the line of scrimmage. 3. Prohibition of the flying tackle. 4. Division of the game into four periods of 15 minutes each. 5. No pushing or pulling of the runner to be allowed. 6. A requirement that the ball in the case of an onside kick must strike the ground at least 20 yards beyond the line of scrimmage, failing which the members of the team kicking the ball are offside. At Amherst 18 men have been ' dropped from the roll on account :of failures in recent examina- I tions. All students are required 1 at Amherst to make at least GO per cent of their tickets.
