COACHES SATISFIED WITH PRESENT RULES
Eastern Authorities Call It Ideal Game-Few Minor Changes Suggested
Judging from the matter of attendance, football is increasing in popularity to a large extent. From every section of the country come reports resounding with praise of the new rules. It seems that the Rules Committee have at last hit on a system of ruling which makes the ideal football game. But few alterations need be made in this year's ruling and it is the consensus of opinion that this change will leave the present rulings alone. These few minor changes are suggested by Mr. McCormack in a recent article on College Football.
Wallie McCormack was a former Dartmouth player, and later coach of the Northwestern football eleven and is one of the closest students of the game in the country. He recently stated it was his opinion that the goal after a touchdown should be abolished. This has been the aim of many conches for the last five years and strenuous efforts are sure to be made to have it stricken from the code next season.
It only is a matter of football history as to the number of games which have been decided by goal kicks. The opposing team has one
chance in a hundred to stop the progress of the ball, because it has to line up behind the goal line and generally is from ten to fifteen yards away from the kicker.
The players of the team which has been scored upon cannot charge to block the attempt until the oval touches the ground. As the kicker is seldom more than a yard away from the ball before he kicks, and as the defending eleven is at least ten yards away, it does not give the blocking aggregation an equal chance to block the kick.
No matter whether the ball touches the ground at a spot twenty yards back of the spot where it was put in play, the oval is brought back to the point of the preceding down and the ball is a down inflicted. If the ball had to take this line of scrimmage forward passes would be used more sparingly.
Another rule which is sure to be changed is allowing forward passes to be uncompleted behind the line of scrimmage. A foxy quarter back or a clever forward passer can raise havoc with an opposing eleven by running back, and when he cannot throw the ball to an eligible player can create an because of the opposing eleven charging toward him he has to do is to throw-the ball forward a yard or two and the pass becomes incomplete.
Throwing the ball out of bounds down the field twenty or thirty yards is another ruling which has not met with popular approval. As the ball goes to the defending eleven at the end of the play, the opposing team does not have a chance to catch the ball and run it back.
SENIORS VICTORS IN FINAL CONTEST
Beefy Upper-Class Men Too Much For Coach Bond's Youngsters
Youngsters
The seniors started the contest with a rush, and before the end of the first quarter the fourth-year men had the ball on the freshman ten-yard line. But a fumble gave the ball to the tyros and then they began a steady march across the field in first quarter ended with the ball in possession of the seniors on their ten-yard line.
In the second quarter, after an exchange of punts, with the ball in possession of the fourth-year men in midfield, the seniors kicked and Plank, the left end, recovered the punt and ran to a touchdown. Goal was kicked.
The rest of the game was just a see-saw with neither team having any advantage. The tyros could not hit the line nor run the ends successfully, and resorted to the forward pass during the play. If all of the ball was taken out frequently and the teams did not display as much ginger as on Saturday.
The seniors lined up as follows left end, Plank; left tackle, McMillin left guard, Hoyt; center, Share; right guard, Tillburg; right tackle, Hansen right end, Rambo; quarterback, Rhine left half, Brown; right half, Sheerur and full back Burke. Substitutes Butler and Keplinger.
The freshmen lined up as follows: left end, Wilson; left tackle, Stratners; left guard, Jackson; center, Hammond; right guard, Malay; right tackle, Campbell; right end, McNeill; quarter back, Wood; right half, Rambo; half, Wood; right half, Rambo; half, Striker. Substitutes: Fuller, Walton, Hall, Barry, and Peters.
Plank, Rambo, and Hoyt played the best game for the seniors and Maloy, and Strathers performed the best for the tyros. In the evening, the first freshmen team and the seniors were given a big feed at Lee's, and all of the men spoke. Some of the seniors had never played football before and they expressed their regrets that they would not be able to return next season to gain more football glory. Coaches Mosse, Frank, and Hamilton also spoke and encouraged the men and gave them a little advice.

The above are the total appropriations asked for by each of the state educational institutions for the years 1914 and 1915. The total is an increase of $2,324,574 over the total amount allowed to the state institutions by the legislature two years ago for the years 1912 and 1913.
State Auditor W. E, Davis is submitting the complete list of budgets to the legislature just as they were submitted to him by the different institutions.
"I particularly call attention of the legislature to the requests for large sums for the building of student dormitories. Educated men are quite undecided as to the advantage of student dormitories in state institutions. s. They are usually constructed, furnished and operated with a degree of luxury and
extravagance that is out of harmony with the home life of the student and breeds idleness and foppery. The state would have to maintain supervision of the dormitories and this would add greatly to the increasing army of employees on the state payroll. There is no satisfactory showing that the localities where these schools are situated are unable to furnish good accomodation for students. I hope the legislature will accept this question in such a manner as to leave no doubt as to the policy of the state in this regard."
The university budget failed to include any estimate for the school of mines and metallurgy at Wetr City and makes no recommendation regarding it.
The state university, which asks for $1,914,784, was allowed a total of $442,170 by the legislature two years ago. It asks for $236,000 for a section of the administration building, $15,000 for the electrical engineering laboratory, $50,000 for an educational building, $50,000 for the excavation and foundation of a hospital, $80,000 for the laboratory at $25,000 for a biological laboratory building and $54,000 for improvements. Two years ago the legislature allowed the university a total of $52,000 for new buildings and improvements.
The State Agricultural college, which is asking for a total of $1,045,000 wants an increase of $141,424 over the amount allowed two years ago. The total asked for includes $82,500 for maintenance and $200,000 for new buildings.
The State Normal school, which is asking for a total of $901,000, w owed $348,800 two years ago. It $40,000 for maintenance, $100,000 general recitation building, $200,000 a main building and auditorium, $70,000 for special improvements. It was allowed a total of $35,000 for new buildings two years ago.
The other institutions make requests for new buildings in about the same proportion. The Hays Normal wants an auditorium, a gymnasium and a dormitory. Western university wants a residence for the superintendent costing $6,000. The Fort Hays Agricultural college branch asks for nothing for new buildings. The colored Industrial and Educational institute near Topeka, wants $25,000 for a water and sewerage system and added land. The Pittsburg branch of the State Normal wants a library building costing $60,000, a gymnasium costing $100,000, a girl's dormitory costing $80,000, a power plant costing $50,000, more ground and equipment.
