Football Tutors Advocate Seven Changes in Rules All Are Designed to Make the Gam More Attractive to the Customer. Chicago, 111., Dec. 26. Seven changes in college football rules, de signated to open the game for the benefit of thrill-seeking customers. were suggested by the American Foot ball Coaches association Tuesday, but one coach was brave enough to pre dict that they would become more than suggestions. The proposed changes, most of them requested by a minority of the four hundred coaches in attendance at the annual convention, are: 1. Permit forward passing from any point behind the line of scrim mage. (Under present rules a for ward rasser must be at least five yards behindthe line of scrimmage.) 2. Move the goal posts back to the goal lines. (Present rules require the goal posts must be 10 yards back of the goal lines.) Abolish Dead Ball Rule. 3. Abolish the dead ball rule. (Present rule3 declare a ball auto matically dead when any part of the ball carrier's body except his hand3 and feet touch the ground.) 4. Increase the sideline rule from 10 to 15 yards. (Under present rules when a ball goes out of bounds ex cept in forward pass or kickoff, the ball is brought in 10 yard3 from the sidelines.) 5. Abolish the fumble rule. (Pres ent rule declares a fumbled ball i3 automatically dead on point of re covery.) 6. Adopt a new "windy day" rule whereby a team in possession of the ball within its own 20-yard line on windy days can surrender the ball 23 yards nearer its opponents' goal with out kicking. Coaches of both teams would have to agree to use the rule before the game started on exception ally windy days. Suggestions of Minority. 7. Modify the forward pas3 rule whereby only incomplete passes on the fourth down into the end zonss Fiiall be ruled a3 touchbacks; in complete passes on first, second, and third downs shall be counted only as dowii3. (Under present rule3 when ever any pass is incomplete in the opponent's end zone, a touchback re sults ?nd the opposing team gains possession of the ball on its own 20 yard line.) The suggestions will be forwarded to the national rules committe? which meets in February. Coach Harry Kipke of Michigan, chairman of the coaches rule3 committee, said the proposed changes are "merely sug gestions or recommendations." "The majority of football coaches seem to be in favor cf letting the rules stand as they are," Kipke said, "but there are some progressive sug gestions contained in the seven that merit deep consideration. After all. it's up to the national rules commit tee entirely.

Moleskin Shell . . $2.95 Leatherette $3.45 THE GOLD STANDARD Our great financiers who sold America short. Of the gold of Character now presume to cavort, Around the dead carcass of in tegrity thye spurned, And thought nothing of the thou sands they deliberately burned. Their stock jobbing schemes and holding company's that pay. That milked the stockholders without any delay. They sheared their flocks before they were ready And said it was a standard to make them steady. They slipped out of the Income Tax like an cel. Their standard of integrity they could not feel. If business returns to gladden our hearts, Integrity and character must be uppermost in all our marts. An honest dollar, an honest pound. &n honest yard stick, in The banks and stores will there be found. It is not the standard of gold that counts, But the pure refined gold of honesty that mounts, Upon the shoulders that carry the load. That opens the trail and paves the road. Happiness will return with joy and peace, When Big Business promulgates a perfect lease. . To give to each and all an hon est deal. And safeguards the future for the commonweal. The dollar will then be a stand ard of gold That the financiers cannot with hold From our people who have stood with awe, As it fluctuated up and down and then "se-saw." The Old Ship of State will not founder on the rocks. There i3 a Hand that guides the pilot, though he gets many knocks, Charcter and integrtiy by those who control the "Jack, Will start the wheels of com merce singing and end that terrible lack. The drifting snow may block the roads, And hinder the traffic for heavy loads, But a way will be improvised to clear The track, and let the traveler move without fear. In the course he wishes, on this old sphere. J. R. T. VISIT AT ELMW00D County Treasurer John E.
