Attempts to again change the rule governing the try after the touchdown and to change the rule cn clipping were defeated in the meeting and were not referred to the rules com mittee. The recommendations, out - of which will come any changes made, in the rules for next year are: 1 The pract ) of holding conferences before each sc.'.nmage and delaying the game unduly should be stopped and th-i rules so amended that these delays sha'.l bring penalties of five yards for pur posely delaying the contest. 2 The present rule governing the try for point is approved. 3 The rules committee should clarify the rights of the receiver a punt and caution officials to keep a closer watch on roughing and interfering with the re ceiver. 4 The rules committee and control board should not have the power to change officials after these have been approved and accepted by the colleges concerned. 5 The penalty for reporting late at the start of the game should be similar to that for reporting late for the second half. 6 The old rule governing a bounding ball after a kick and the contact with this ball by a man offside should be re turned instead of the new rule, which Is too harsh. 7 The word "motion" should be sub stituted for "momentum" In Bute 9, which has to do with shifts. - 8 The officials should have a uni form code of signals to inform the crowd as to the nature of a penalty or score. These signals should; be e?lalned with pictures in the rule book. 9 The rules committee should incor porate in the rule book a series of plates showing typical positions of officials in open and close formations. 10 The rules committee should appoint an official interpreter .pf the rules to whom all questions could be submitted and whose decisions would be official and final. - 11 The rules committee should go ov er the rule governing the onside kick, which lacks balance and entails too many hazards.

Dec 29 (By the A. P.) Pitcher "Rube" Benton, recently purchas ed by the Cincinnati Nationals from St. Paul, will be barred from baseball if in vestigations reveals he was involved in the crooked world's Berles of 1919, Com missioner Landis announced tonight. Com missioner Landis is investigating reports that Benton won a largft sum of money betting on aytip that Cincinnati would win the series. Benton, who called on the commissioner yesterday to Inquire into his status, was told there was nothing in the commis sioner's records at this time to prevent him from playing organized baseball. The commissioner, however, had start ed Investigating reports that Benton had knowledge of the "fixing" of the 1919 world's series and when informed to night that President Heydler, of the Nar tlonal league had taken steps to bar Ben ton as an undesirable, the commissioner said he would continue his inquiry and probably would have a report before the season opens. President Johnson, of the American lea gue previously had declared Benton trjuld not be permitted to play in his league. He said two players had made affidavit! that Benton had told them he had won a large sum on the 1919 series having received advance information that tho series had been fixed. This information, Benton was alleged to have said, was obtained from Bill Burns and Jean Dubuc. Since then Ben ton has said that he had bet only $20 on Cincinnati to win. Benton was drop ped by the New York Nationals in 1921 ostensibly for failure to observe training rules. After he joined the St. Paul club, Benton pitched winning ball. Benton previously was involved in a National league controversy when he ac cused Buck Herzog, then manager of the Cincinnati club, of asking him' ( Benton to throw ball games. Herzog denied the charge. After President Heydler conduct ed an investigation he was dropped. Her zog was absolved from guilt and given his unconditional release. Heydler Against Benton , New York, Dec. 29 Expressing the opinion that Rube Benton, former New York and Cincinnati pitcher now with St Paul, is an undesirable player, John A.

"If statesmen cannot agree and exi - srencles of miblic aninion make their course difficult, then there should be call- ed'-to their aid those who can point the way to a solution. Why Men of Highest Authority? "Why should not they invite men of the highest authority in finance In their respective countries men of such pres tige, experience and honor that their agreement upon the "amount to be paid. and, upon a ' financial plan for working out the payments, would be accepted throughout the world as the most author- itative expression obtainable. Govern - ments need not bind themselves In ad - vance to accept the recommendations but they can at least make possible such an Inquiry with their approval -and free the men who may represent their country In such a commission from any responsi bility to foreign offices and from any duty to obey political instructions. In other words, they, may invite an answer to this difficult and pressing question from men in such standing and In such circumstances of freedom as will insure a reply prompted only by knowledge and conscience. , I have no doubt that distinguished Americans would be willing to serve in such a commission. If governments saw fit to reject the recommendation upon which such a body agreed, they would be free to do so, but they would have the advantage of Impartial advice and of an enlightened public opinion. Peoples would be informed, the question would be 'rescued from assertion and counter assertion and the problem put upon Its way to solution. Deprecates General Coafereaee. '1 do not believe that any general con ference would answer the purpose better much' less that any political conference would accomplish a result which pre miers find it impossible to reach. But I do believe that a small group, " given proper freedom of action, would be able soon to devise' a proper plan. It would be time enough to consider forcible measures after such an opportunity had been exhausted. Such a body, would not only be expert but friendly. It would not be bound by special official obligations ; It would have no animus and no duty but to find and state the truth. In a situa tion which requires an absence of techni cality and Immunity from Interference, I hope that the way may soon be found for a frank discussion and determination of what is essentially an economic problem. V. S. Beady to Aid In Any "Practicable . ' . ' Way. . "The United States has the most friend ly and disinterested purpose, In this mat ter and wishes to aid in any practicable way. But It Is idle to make suggestions which arouse false hopes and are so Im practicable that they they cannot bear fruit. On the other hand, there lies open a "broad avenue of opportunity of those whose voluntary, action Is indispensable are willing to take advantage of it. And once this is done, the avenues of Ameri can helpfulness cannot fall to open hope fully." , - Washington Anns Ceafereaee. Aside from the economic question,' Mr. Hughes devoted most of his address to a discussion of the results of the .Washing. ton arms conference.

"It ought to be possible." Mr. Hughes said, also with reference to total auxil iary craft tonnage untouched by the Washington treaty, to "arrange a modus Vivendi which would preclude a wasteful and. unnecessary competition." .
