AT LAST FOOTBALL IS A SAFE GAME
INTERCOLLEGIATE RULES COMMITTEE DECIDES.
However, the Committee Couldn't Refrain From Making a Few Changes in the Rules.
New York, Feb. 4.—The intercollegiate football rules committee did a little more surgery on the game at a meeting in New York yesterday.
With E. K. Hall, of Dartmouth, as chairman, and Walter Camp as secretary, the committee decided intermissions were too long and reduced the periods between the first and second and the third and fourth quarters from three minutes to two minutes. A new rule was adopted permitting teams by agreement to transfer the supervision of offside play upon the line of scrimmage from umpire to head linesman. The linesman, however, is to report any infraction to the umpire.
Another new rule provides that throwing a player to the ground after the referee has declared the ball dead may be considered unnecessary roughness. An amendment was adopted allowing only three men to walk up and down the field on each side of the line. The present rule allows five. If the ball accidentally strikes an official, provides another amendment, it shall not become dead, but play shall continue.
A new rule adopted specifies that all penalties under the rule regulating the forward pass shall be applied from the spot of the down and not on the spot from which the pass was made.
The committee transferred the duty of keeping time from the field judge to the umpire, and in rule 18, section 2, which provides that a player in catching for a pass shall not be tackled or shouldered until he has caught the ball and "taken more than one step in any direction."
After the conference Mr. Han said :
The words "taken more than one step in any direction" were stricken out.
"The reason that the committee made so few changes is that we feel the game has accomplished what the new rules started out to do—the elimination of serious injuries—and that it was now a safe and playable game."
K C A C Elects Athletic Manager.
Manhattan, Kan., Feb. 4.—E. N. Rodell, of the School of Printing of the Agricultural College, was elected general manager of athletics by the athletic association here last week. Mr. Rodell is an alumnus, class of '03. The Aggies do not have a manager to put all of his time on athletics and must draw from the faculty some man who is willing to take the time outside his regular work to manage the athletics of the school.
Chemistry Club to Meet.
At the meeting of the Chemistry club next Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock in room 101 of the Chemistry building, Mr.Ward Tillotson, who holds the Holoplane fellowship in industrial chemistry on glass, will speak on "The Relations between the Physical Properties and the Chemical Composition of Glass."
Chemistry Teachers Spent the Night Grading Books.
WORKED TILL DAWN
Students who went to the basket-ball game last night were surprised to see the chemistry building ablaze with lights. Only those who had taken courses in chemistry the past term knew that the illumination was made necessary by the industry of the faculty members of the department, who spent the night grading quiz books and streaking red ink through note books.
From time to time through the night hurry calls were sent by telephone to students whose books did not meet the requirements. "Come up and correct your note book' 'was the call. The first summons was sent out at 11 o'clock last night and the last at 6 this morning.
The chemistry teachers stayed at their posts all night in order to get the term grades into the Registrar's office by noon today. Registrar Foster said that not more than 40 per cent of the grades of the University had been turned in at noon.
TRACK TRYOUT POSTPONED
Weight Men Are Showing Good Form.
The tryout for the track team which will meet Baker Monday, February 13, has been postponed until Wednesday and Thursday of next week. The reason assigned by the coach for the change, is that most of the men who were to try out at that time have taken advantage of the recess between semesters to go home for a visit.
Coach Hamilton expects to see some new records established at the tryout next week. Earl Ammons will devote himself entirely to the weights and Hamilton expects him to improve over his last year's record. Bower a fresh man in the School of Engineering from Kansas City, who threw the weights last year for Central high school, has come within a few inches of equalling the University record in the shot-put in practice and Coach Hamilton expects him to equal the present record in the try-outs next week.

The Alumni association of the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts is asking the New Hampshire legislature to change the name of their Alma Mater to the "University of New Hampshire." The reasons given is that the old name does not do justice to the institution because of the restricted meaning which the name implies, when the functions of the institution are those of a university.
