Committee will meet next month to make some Ini-edod reforms has caused widespread discus Ion among tho college expert! irho bavo va rious sucrtteatlons to make. It Is agreed on all Ides that further legislation against man plajs Is necessary In order to reduce chances for In juries to a minimum. The flying wedge and other dangerous momentum plays were abol ished two years ago, when tho Rules Commlttoe slruw up and adopted tho following: When the ball ! put la play at Uait At playsrs unit be on the line of scrimmage. If, when the Dill It put In play, (It players, not Including the quarter back, be behind the line of scrlmmag and Inside of the positions oeoupled by the players at the ends of the said Use, thsn two of .these players mutt be at least Ore yards buk of this line. But all of theie players may be nearer to the tine of scrimmage, if two of them art outside of the positions occupied by the players at toe ends of said line. Tho rulo makers believed then that mass plays would bo so modlQod that there would be no TSEt, further trouble. Coach Woodruff of tho Uni- fwL Terslty of Pennsylvania, howoror, saw a loop- (fif bole, andinvented his celebrated " guards back fc. Interference "play, which was strictly within ujL the requirements of the abovo rulo. It proved at such a perfect battering ram, and produced so jJjSi runny dlflcronl opportunities for long gains that mat. It was adopted by nearly every 'varsity college Jjfij and school team In the country. Princeton and d6 Yolo did not make nn exact copy of the play, a but they showed their appreciation of it by using wt) their guards behind the lino In various forma- M! tlons. In the big games of tho University of wM Pennsylvania tho "guards back" clay was the 3j5 most effective method of attack used by that 9j team, and in almost every caso opponents were rj& laid out. Buch was also tho rest wherever tho ijjjfe play was used, although no fatsllttis can be directly cbargod to It, Tho suggoetlon that yflr seven mon must remain in tho rush lino until mf the ball has been put In play, which was origin- ji ally mado by The SUN when tbe Rules Commit- usv ' " "r,t cons'dorcd tho question of eliminating hH. mass plaj s, provides a remedy that will prevent rf; any formations behind tho line, except those by 8(F the four baoks. Hut there is another point that J0S might be taken up by the rule makers which "ft:' would bo oven better in results than tho original suggestion. It a rule Is passed tgK oampoUlng seven men to remain in tho rush jgfc line until the bill is snapped back, it would still " permit tho pulling back of the guards, whose jSB places could bo temporarily filled by any of tho & backs, theroby complying with the actual & requirements of tho rule. It would, therefore" lag be of moro advantago, perhaps, to rule that tho np seven rushors, including two ends, two tackles, 3j? two guards, and a centre, should romaln in their sBl reitular places until tho ball has been snapped, & and in thnt way limit tho formations back of the I lino to tho quarter, two halves, and tho full back. Trie Sum has repeatedly called tho atten tion of the rulo makers to tho absurdity of tho old-tlnio rulo, which provontstue quarterback from running with tho ball. If they should decide to compel the regular rush lino men to remain in tholr respective places, tboy could easily pass an amendment permitting tho qutrtorbick to run himself after be has re ceived tho ball from tho centre, or pass tho oval to any other back ns tins been his custom for years, Thore seems to bo no good reason why the quarter back should not receive the aamo privilege accorded to every other man on an aloven, nnd every tluio a rulo maker or coach has been asked to explain why such a rule has not beon framed, il has neon Impossible to giro a attsfaotory answer. The fact that from the in ception of football tho quarter back has never been allowed to run with tho ball, unless it had been handled first by two men before him, has come to be regarded as a law which la too sacred to violate. me: If tho rulo makers will appreciate tho fact that. SB if a quarter back, possessing oqual privileges 3fi with tho other backs, can help to make the play ;fi' moro open and also more uncertain in point of uw tricks behind the lino, they cannot fall to throw j-fj' down this last barrier to common-sense playing. 2JjC One other point to bo dellnltely settled is the fi& ' klok off where the ball Is driven over the goal tfi line. This year no fixed rule prevailed as to the Mfe disposition of the ball after it had twice been fgg- kicked Into touch. Somo teams permitted op- ;' poni'iits to kick tho ball out from tho 25-vard tar line, while others allowed their rivals to kick off MP. from the middle of the Held again, as provided lUgT for by tho rule governing a kick-oft that sends m tho ball twice in succession over the sldo lines. '?' Ueionu tbeso points tho work of the Rules Com- otK, mittee does not appear to be difficult. Sms."- ' Gov. Atkinson of Georgia, In vetoing the Cole rfgk 'Anti-football bill, expressed himself as being $Stf greatly in favor of manly sports. In his message iSS; bo makes his ideas very closr, as follows: Ifflfe There are gravo reasons for oppoalnx this class of K letlilatlon It leads to Innumerable jelty and rexa- tloua criminal laws regulating the meal trivial affairs 5gr nf life, depriving tbe parent of the authority to con jKf trol bis child, and robbing tho citizen of that degree fffifr of liberty which ihould bo the heritage of every son mfc- of the republic.

Only a few days ago another deal was made whereby Pittsburg iet Pitcher Hugbsy go to tit, Louis for l'ltcber Inrt and 1,800 in cash. This was alto a good moro on the surface, for Hart whs unusually effective, last soason, considering that ho had a team of nondescripts behind him. Watklns made n name for himself as mannger of tho De troit champions ten years ago. From his good work nt Indianapolis the Pittsburg peoplo recognised him as about the only man fitted to build tfp their team, which bad been wreokod by poor handling and Internal distentions. " Patty Bolivar " Tebeau and " Bcrappy Dill " Joyce are taking tho baths at Hot Springs, and, Incidentally, nro putting In claims for too pen nant, Ttbonu and Joyce were brought up to gether on the St. Louis lots, where they learned to play ball nnd kick at the "empire." They have been careful not to spend their baseball earnings and both can bonst of some protty val uable real estate. Joyce has learned many clever tricks from Tebeau. who has always bean a oloso student of the game. So warm is the friendship between these Icudern that, strange to say, the New York-Cleveland series lost season was more like a camp meeting than a battle for diamond tupremaey. The glove contest between Jack Kverhardt and Jack Daly at tbe Tulane A. 0., Now Or leans, noxt Tuosdsy night. Is of special interest to ring followers In this city, as both have op- feared here on many occasions. Daly's riso In he pugllistlo world baa been rapid. When ho first made his bow to New Yorkers he was prac tically unknown. He fought at the Broadway A. C. and otberaronns, but nobody believed that he had any cbanco to reach the top notch. How ever, he learned the game thoroughly, and under Earn Fltzpntrlck s management he has Improved wonderfully. Everhsrdt, In tho estimation of many good Judges, is not the same man thnt ho was boforo Kid Lavlgne beat him for the second tlmo nt the Bohemian Sporting Club, this city. He will wolgh about 142 pounds, wbllo Daly will scale at not more than 138 pounds, tholr match being at catch weights. If Daly wins be will go after Lavlgno or McPartland, Jim Hall, who Is tbe mannger of the Tulane A. C. says thnt any talk of his mooting Kid Mc Coy in a six-round fight is nonsense Hall has been practically a back number ever since Choynskl knocked him out nt Maspeth a few yenrs ago. Ho reaognlr.es McCoy as tho middle weight champion. "As for my going against him in tbo ring," says Hall. " I'm too old a bird to be plucked of what little plumage I have left. McCoy would eat roe up In a six-round 'go.'" Hall is evidently one of tbo few pugilists who know whon they have received onough. Tbe proposed heavyweight fight between Peter Mher and Gus Ruhlln will be for the title of champion, according to Maherandhls backers. Possibly Peter is thinking of the "championship" which Corbett handed to him Just after he bad put Steve O'Donnell to sleep with a couple of punches at Maspeth some time ago. Evidently Peter has forgotten all about fne Bob FItzsltnmons. who not only beat tbe rlshman twice, but also defeated Corbett not quite a year ago. The Princeton faculty has passel a rulo pro hibiting any student from competing In any branch of sport as a raemborof an athletic club team. This move is duo to tho large number of athletes who hnvo been tn the habit of wea ing athletic club colors and entering open competi tions. Tho students will alto have to receive special permission to take part In any games outside of Princeton, Students who, whllo mem bers of 'varsity teams, have been In tho habit of plavlng on aUilctlo club teams in tbe summer will bo unable to do so In tho future. It is rumored that a Cornell-YaloITarvartl conference will be held at tha University A. C. the first week In January. Certain college men sny thnt ontslde influences are being brought to bearonthe rowing men, and that tho indica tions point to a peaceful settlement of the ex isting troubles. aoLF. Tbe Lynch and Iwrar Foursome OIF Prise for tVomen at liyfaer Sfradow, If. R. Sweny, tbe champion of the Albany Golf Club, has been at Lakowood on u. flying trip, and tho result was somo fine contests wilh Jasper Lynch. In tha decisive match Lynch won by the comfortablo lead of 7 up and 5 to play, after spirited play. Although hard, the Lakewood putting greens aro quite smooth and true, and, as (ho lies on tbe fair green are good, Lynch was enabled to make the first round within one stroke of tho amateur record for the links. He did not do so well on tho second round. The players were followed by many spectators. By strokes Lynch made the following score: Out S 0 4 3 6 05 6 30 In 3 0 4 3 0 78 e 14-83 The long-expected foursome between Lynch and Willie Anderson, the Lakewood profes sional, and Sweny and H. Rlcketts, the Albany professional, is off, for the present at least. Rlcketts will be at the Ocoan County Hunt nnd Country Club tournament on Jan. 1, but Sweny will not be able to be there. "Snow rules will provall in the event of a ' whlto Now Year's, " is a sensible clause on the announcement sent out yesterday by tho Dal tusrol Golf Club, calling attention to tbo class A and B handicaps to be held on Jan. 1 for hnndsome prizes. Herotoforo tho Baltusrol N w Year's competitions bavo bein open to all golfers, but as tho mom ershlp Is over 400, tbe clubmen believe they will have moro Jollity in celebrating on tbelrown account. Sara Tucker, tbe Dykor Meadow Golf Club professional, has offered a caddlo bag and a full set of clubs as tbe prize in a competition for tho women players of the club on next Tuesday. Tbe women members have possession of the Dyker Meadow course on every Tuesday and Thursday, und an Indication that thev aro dcvot.cd to the gama Is tho fact that next Tues day's event has already twenty ontrles. In view of the large number who wish to play, tha men's Tournament Couimltteo may add a set of minor prizes. A nlno-hole course hss been laid out at Plney Woods, Southern Pines, N. C, and the Golf Club has about fifty members. Snow is an un known quantity in that region, yet many of the players use red balls, as tbe course is covered wltn white sand. The putting greens, liko thoso nt Aiken, S. C, are destitute of vordura and as hard as bonrds. Another course Is being laid out at the town of Pinehurst, six miles away, and between the two resorts there sbould be no lack of golf In the neighborhood this winter. The Monmouth Beach Golf Club will have one of the best links on the southern New Jersey sea coast next soason. Tho present courso is to be extended to nine boles, of over 3.000 yards In playlntr length, with tbe largest putting greens in the Stato, The ground is on the south shore of tbe Shrewsbury River, extending back to tho railroad track, a situation that is comfortablo and cool even in the hottest daysottntdsummer.

Cary Smith yesterday afternoon between tho hours of 3 and 4. During that time twenty-flvo well-knovn yachtsmen nnd devotees of the sport were received by tbe de signer and Frank Bowne Jones, the chief pro moter of the new type of yacht. The drawings submitted by the veteran de signer received many encomiums from the criti cal Corinthians, the consensus of opinion being that tbo new craft would be equal to any emer gency on blue water, nnd furthermore thnt If the owner grew tired of his Investment within two or three years that tho type of boat was such as could be sold for moro money than tho original cost of tbe vessel, a stato of affairs most unusual In yachting circles.

PBlfNtTLVASXA J.BKB WOK TIME OIT JOS PnHSIDJSXTlAL QVSBUOK. The Oslnlen Is Tbat Fetter and (Blsleea Will Be Rival Candidate-!- A. W. Consulate Confirm Bare Instrsictleiiate Wis. consla Ms a at tha Censloa Anaual Haettnsr. It seems to be the impression that I. B. Potter of thli State, the present Incumbent, and doorge D. Gideon of Philadelphia will be the rival can didates for President of the L, A. W. at the next annual meeting at 8L Louis. Poltor re ceived a communication from 8. A. Boyle, the Chief Consul of the Pennsylvania division, yes terday. Tho latter says tbat a call was mad upon Sterling Elliott at Boston on last Sunday, and thnt the officers of the Keystone State have agreed to wait until next Monday before decid ing who they will affiliate with in voting for tbe next President, The communloatlou has not served to pacify tho Potter faction, and it Is safe to assume that they will under no circum stance make a combination with Pennsylvania. A prominent member of tho division says: "The objeot of Pennsylvania in asking until Monday to deliberate on tbe question of the Presidency Is plain to evory one. Her officials visited Pottor, and they know how he stands. After calling on Sterling Elliott, thoy are wait ing to see how many votes he can control betoro thoy Join hands with any faction. You lee they want to bo on the winning side. The Hew York Stato Division will be strongly supported with out Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, and will elect Potter over all opposition." Advices from the West state that Sterling El liott has written to tha officials of tbe Missouri division asking for the support of fJoorgoD. Oldcon of Philadelphia for President of the league. Elliott maintains that both Pennsylva nia nnd Massachusetts will vote for Gideon. A consultation of leaders of the Missouri division was held to confer on the Boston man's request. Tho result was the promise of Missouri votes subject to an agreement. The latter wants Massachusetts and Pennsylvania to pledge themselves to voto for local option on racing, the admlttnnoeof professionals to league member ship and a St. Louis map on the Gideon ticket for Second Vice-President. It Is a well-known fact that Gideon favors local option, and It Is surmised that he favors tbe admission of profes sionals to tho league, but the demand for repre sentation on the Executive Committee was nn unexpected request. The Missouri men would llko to see Robert Holm, tbo ex-cblof consul of the division, servo as Seoond Vice-President. New officers hnvo been installed in the Massa chusetts division of tbe h. A. W. and work out lined for a big recruiting season. Chtrf Consul Sterling Elliott Is anxious for the division to grow as large numerically as New York and Pennsylvania, In order that tho State will have a leading voice in tho ofliclal deliberations of the League. With this object in view a new policy baa been outlined In relation to the methods of socuring new members. In tho past It has been customary to award honor medals to local consuls, but tbe work hereafter will be on a cash basis. There will be a commission of 0 cents for every renewal, and 10 cents for a new application credited to a local consul on and after Jan. 1. Commissions will be paid quar terly. A meeting of theL. A. W. Consulate waa held on Wednesday evening at the Oriental Hotel. The recent six-day blcyclo race was dlsoussed, and the nctlonof the Board of Officers of tha New York State division in condemning pro longed contests was Indorsed. The proposed bicycle speedway does not meet with the approv al of the Consulate, and it was decldod tbat a committee wait upon the Park Boat d to obtain a path not less than sixty feet wide, with a di vision in tho centre, on tho plan of the Western Boulevard. It is the object of the comraltteo to hnvo tbe spoed limit on tho pathway restrict ed to fifteen miles per hour. In some sections of the West the cycling con ditions differ radically from those In tbo East. Atn recent meeting of the board of officers of tbe Wisconsin division the delegates to tbe an nual meeting of tbe L. A. W. wero Instructed to vote against a Sunday racing measure, to op pose any proposition to admit professionals, and to favor tho abandonment of League control of racing. These instructions show that the Wis consin men are Interested In the road Improve ment of tho organization nnd anxious to see all tho work of tbe League directed in pushing that department.

Kortmeyer, Secretary of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen, have created quite a sensation in rowing circles throughout the country, William O. Jupp of Detroit, President of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen, Is very Indignant, and he has ap pointed a committee, consisting of Julius D, Mahr, President of the Metropolitan Boat Club of this city; Henry Whiting Garfield of Albany, and James R. Doyle of Boston, to pass upon the charges formu lated by certain cluba In the Schuylkill Navy of Phila delphia. Prealdrnt Jupp, in apeaklngorthemattor, said; All of the cluba In the Schuylkill Navy did not In dorse the resolutions. The Pennsylvania Barge Club and the Malta Boat Club, on the contrary. Indorsed Mr. Fortmeyer, I have appointed a committee con slstlng of three of the best known rowing authorities In the Kast and asked them to take prompt action In tbe matter. The Schuylkill Navy will probably be condemned for passing tbe resolutions. Mr. Fort meyer has made the best Secretary the N. A. A. O. haa ever had, He haa devoted hie tlmeand his money to the work, and hit sole ambition haa been to build up and foster tbe Intereata of the association. X have received assurances from Baltimore that the Ariel and Arundel boat clubs, the leading organisations, will, under nn circumstances, join tbe kicking Phila delphia clubs Washington, too, will ateer clear of tbe scheme, The revolt has never amounted to more tbanapufl of wind and It baa already died out, I expect to hear from the committee within ten days, and am confident that Mr, Fortmeyer will be exonerated." sllne Ihootlng, The Shooting Committee of tbe New York Hide Clubbaa arranged a programme for the winter sea son which gives an opportunity to the members to win honor and prises on the short range.

After tho end of the second half both teams ngroed to play an ad ditional ten minutes In order to obviate tbe necessity of playing off a tie at some future date, butncltbor sldo was ablo to score again. Thegnmewas a fine exhibition of skill, tho team work of tboN. Y. A. C. players being bet ter than that of their opponents.
