Several western universities refuse to take cognizance of the foot-ball rules planned by Professors Stagg and Everett, only so far as they may agree with the rules endorsed by the eastern conference, which will be held in New York some time in February. There is no serious objection to Prof. Stagg's rules, but it is not thought best by some of the larger western universities to play by the eastern college rules and not have sectional, but national collegiate rules of play.

Stagg's Rules Not Approved by Northwestern or Wisconsin.
The revision of football rules as made by Professors Stagg and Everett does not seem to meet with approval at Northwestern University. Athletes there say that the changes made will not benefit the game, except in minor details. The only rule which meets the approval of all is the one regarding scoring. Coach Van Doozer says that he hopes that the proposed rules will not be adopted.
WESTERN OR EASTERN REVISION.
At the University of Chicago, the opinion seems to be that the changes are for the better.
When Professor Stagg was asked to explain how the new rules in regard to calling the men back differed from the old one, he said: 'In the old rule there was described an imaginary quadrangle, which for one dimension had five men on the line, and for the other a line five yards long, drawn back from the ends of the line as it stood. By the old rule, inside this quadrangle there could be the quarter back and four other players, arranged in any formation whatsoever, while another player could be played anywhere outside the quadrangle. This made it practically possible to mass six men on any point in the line, and in several formations this was done with injury to the players. In the new rules no more than three men and the quarter back are allowed to be directly behind the line. Five men must be on the line, and the other two men can be played anywhere, so long as they are clearly outside of the men on the end of the line. This does not, nor was it intended, to do away with the guards' back or the Pennsylvania plays, but it does weaken them and make them less dangerous.
Continuing, Stagg says: 'In regard to the points, I am convinced, as I was convinced early in last season, that any team with a line that could hold at all could use the place kick to advantage. It does not take a good kicker to use the play. Gardner or any other of several of our players could have made the oyl in the Michigan game nearly as well as Herschberger. Herschberger himself admits this, and he approves with me of making the place kick less valuable than the drop kick.
"I have not yet heard from other schools in regard to the rules, but am sending out copies to experts in the east as well as in the west. What we want in the matter is to get the best opinion. If we have done nothing else in the rules, we have at least made them so they can be read intelligibly. Before they were a patchwork, wherein there were contradictions and obsolete parts."
The Wisconsin Cardinal says editorially, in regard to the new foot-ball rules: "It is not likely that Wisconsin will take cognition of the foot-ball rules as laid out by Stagg and Everett, except in so far as they agree with the results of the eastern conferences which will be held in New York on February 12. As we predicted, the attempt on the part of Chicago to establish in the west, rules different from those in the east, has failed. While there are some good points to the new rules, the revision as a whole is incompetent and will not prove acceptable to most western colleges. Northwestern has already expressed her disapproval of the revision, while the antagonism of Wisconsin and Michigan to any strictly western rules, is well known. Without the support of these three important institutions the rules will never go into effect. Wisconsin maintains that there is no need of separate rules for the west, and will wait for and abide by the eastern rules."
Track Captain Everett J. Brown, of the University of California, returned last week from a trip through the east in the interests of the Athletic association of his college. During the trip he did a little investigating into eastern amateurism and in this connection has the following to say:
EASTERN PROFESSIONALISM
Amateurism a Mere Pretense in Some of the Big Universities.
"We are told to look to the east as the acme of dignified amateur athletics, but I tell you that we are far better right here in the west. Amateurism is a mere pretense in some of the big universities. When I told them our methods they laughed and said they savored of the 'prep' school. I met men from Yale who boasted that they had not seen the college campus during the football season, and Princeton was not far behind. Harvard is more like California, and that's why she does not win. The Cambridge men are expected to study, and at Pennsylvania you will find the football team recruited all the way from country blacksmith shops to the New York police force."
A number of essays and addresses, by President Elliot, of Harvard, have been published under the title of "American Contributions to Civilization."

A movement was started in Leavenworth last week to raise sufficient funds to send Prof. Dyche and his exhibits to the Paris exposition in 1900. Prof Dyche thinks it a capital way to advertise Kansas and the University, but thinks it will be hard to raise sufficient money. The professor will not send any of his exhibits unless he can make as large, or even larger exhibitions than he had at the world's fair in Chicago It was during the Chicago fair that this exhibit gained a world wide reputation.
