NEW RULES THREATEN TO END TIE GAMES
Undecisive Games Doomed This Season---Sandlot Scoring Possible
Kansas University football fans may expect to see heavier scoring this season than under the old rulings and an end to the no score games such as was played with Baker.
The touchdown this year will count six points, with one point in addition for kicking goal from touchdown. This will make it impossible for a team to beat another by kicks and goals to the others touchdown.
Changes in this year's rules will not be so technical as to embarrass the average follower of the pig skin game yet will be such as to increase the scoring ability of both teams. Information Center. Advantages
Otherwise Given Greater Advantage.
In brief the rules will be such as to give the offense an even greater advantage that that accorded to them by former rules. In addition to the great handicap for the defense in the field there will be a greater chance for scoring open to one team down under the opponents goal posts.
One of the principal additions to the strength of the offense will be the rule allowing four trials in which to advance the necessary ten yards instead of the former three downs. This will tend to make the possession of the ball even more important than under previous rulings. The forward pass can now be made to any distance.
Other minor changes such as 'making the teams kick off from their forty-yard line abolishing the on-side kick, and lining up the team receiving the kick out on their opponents twenty yard five-five-fireward yard will not tend to change the style of play to any degree.
Gridiron Loses Ten Yards. The field will be shortened to an even one hundred yards but an extra ten yards will be retained behind the goal lines. This will increase by 50 per cent the scoring power of a team within the opponent's line. Added pressure on bucks and cants will be the privilege of doing the forward pass to a man over the goal line. To guard against this the defense will be compelled to draw back the secondary line of defense thereby weakening the line against line bucks and end runs.

CAPTAIN EARL AMMONS, MORE
WANDERS BACK FOR MORE
Earl Ammons, captain of last year's football team, has not had what he considers sufficient college education yet and so he has decided to enter school this fall and take law. He was given his A. B. degree last spring.
Ammons will not be allowed to play football this year as he finished his allotted time last fall, but in all probability he will make his presence known around the athletic department in some way, and especially about Thanksgiving when the finishing touches are being put on the football team for the Missouri game

High Schools Get Jayhawkers.

Fifteen hundred undergraduates are attending the University Daily Kansas's first birthday party this afternoon with the opening of the second volume of the campus newspaper.
Agents ready to receive Daily Kansan subscriptions will be stationed in the gymnasium, engineer office, reception desk, and business office tomorrow morning.
Circulation Office Elated Over Reception of Paper by New Student Body
Of course, it's not the usual birthday affair with pink ice cream and a white frosted cake upon which sparkles twin candies and with exciting games of "Drop the Handkerchief." The 1500 guests at today's entertainment, each with an opening copy of the Daily Kansan in his hand, are scattered about through the houses of the University district.
The success of the change from a tri-weekly to a daily newspaper was never so evident as when subscriptions began to crowd into the circulation manager this morning. In pairs and fives and tens they came, and some 900 undergraduates have signed the Daily Kansan rolls.
The circulation manager hopes to exceed the record-breaking figures of last year, when 2938 Daily Kansans were printed.
The carrier service will begin Friday.

URGES COURT REFORM
Judge Rupenthal Would Eliminate All, Unnecessary Details.
Judge J. C. Ruppenthal, judge of the twenty-third judicial district, is asking the members of the bar in his district to co-operate with him in an effort to reform court procedure. Judge Ruppenthal was a former student of the University of Kansas and is now prominent in the Alumni Association. In a letter to the members of his district he asks for a rigid criticism of his court with the idea of removing unnecessary detail from court action. The extracts from his letter which follow, show how earnestly he is working for a much needed reform.
"To secure justice, the work of the courts should be speedy, cheap, and
"I ask your advice, and suggestions, that we may approach as closely as is possible, for us to the ideal administration of justice.
"Be frank to point out the practices which hamper justice in the civil and criminal courts."
Judge Ruppenthal points out that his letter is not a vieled solicitation for commendation or approval, but that he wants the members of the bar to point out the sore spots.
