These are the most Important suggestions
for the revision of the foot ball rules that
will come up for consideration by the In
tercollegiate foot ball rules committee In
New York on Friday and Saturday. None
of these proposed changes are made by
the radical element of the foot ball body
nd the game for next fall will be little
altered from the open play that waa seen
last fall. (
It is the genera) opinion of foot ball ex
perts In the country that the rules of last
fall accomplished the purpose for which
they were designed prevention of numer
ous injuries and reconciliation of the anti
foot ball wing of the collegea. ' Because
the' rulea aa altered for last fall lessened
the number of deaths the mollycoddles
. have no grounds for making a holler this
winter arid the session of the rulos body
In New York this week will be harmonious.
Reports from the east Indicate that the
committee la In shape for satisfactory
work and that none but sane measures
will ba adopted for regulation of the game
neat autumn.
Offense Vnder Handicap.
Play In all sections of the country last
season demonstrated that under the present
rules an offensive team, 25 per cent
stronger than Its opponent, Is up against
a hard problem when It reaches the
twenty-five yard line and attempts to
sucre. Of course, with an accurate kicker
It can be registered by the air line, a
method denied to, a great majority of the
elevens. Ths defensive organisation proved
carabie of stopping the attack of the op
posing team In many Instances In this
cone. The forward paas and onelde kick,
plays designed to solve the scoring prob
lem, proved Ineffective and dangerous,
and did not give the result desired.
The ends of the defensive eleven were
pulled back, of the Una and given plenty
of time to diagnose the pass before the
thrower, who bad to move five yards back
could execute hla pass. With the support
of the tackles and halfbacks the ends
could keep the territory closely guarded
agalnat both pass and onalde kick.
To remedy thus situation In great de
gree it has been suggested that the five-
yard restriction be removed from the pass
and kick, permitting the offensive player
to' pass or kick the ball while close ba
hind his line. If. this measure could be
drafted Into the .regulations the defensive
ends would not be able to penetrate the
plans of the offensive team to such an
extent that they would be permitted to
come in cloae to Intercept or stop the
kick.
Hut many teams are loathe to uae the
pans or try the kick within territory so
close to the goal line, for It is dangerous
whether the team employing it be that
distance from its own line or that of Its
opponent. After an eleven has carried the
oval to the twenty-five-yard mark, the pass
Is too uncertain a play to use, for the
team Is likely to lose the ball. Or, If the
offensive team be within twenty-five yards
it Kb own goal and tries the pasa, the
ball Is likely to be Intercepted and carried
over for a touchdown.
Only Small Hetara.
ISO to remove the dangeroua featurea of
tha paaa and onslde kick It Is suggested
that the player Intercepting a paaa or on
slde kick be premltted to take the ball
only to the spot from which the kick or
pass was made. ,
Hut even with this alteration of the rules,
the pass would not ' be very effective,
though it might often be used. A player
canilot make a pass acroaa the goal Una
and get a touchdown. The ball must be
taught Inside and carried over. To give
the offense more chance with the pans
within the twenty-five yard sons. It Is
proposed to extend the territory of the
pass ten yards behind the goal posts, mak
Ing- any pass that falls Into that territory
' valid. Of course, there will be aiiy amount
ol oLJouuon to such a rule. It also haa
been, proposed that the playing field be
shortened twenty yards, so ths offense
would not have to carry the ball so far.
This would give the running game leas
distance to gain and would make a kicker
mora valuable.
It la suggested that one man on the of-
fensive side be allowed to be In mo
tion, parallel to the rush line, before the
LaJl la put In play. Thia proposal la made
ao aa to give the offense a trick to com
bat the triangle of the defense, the end
guard and halfback. The loose runner would
force the -end to go out and would give
the attacking force a chance to concen
trat Its power against one slightly weak
ened wing.
A representative of a big eastern college
will propose that the distance to be gained
within the twenty-yard Una be made seven
ItiHirad of ten yards. Another suggestion
ill be to have the number of ,in.n.
changed to four In this Bone.
tut Klrntrnt to Object.
No runners were permitted to hold on
to their Interference last fall, but It w,l
be moved that the runner be allowed to
"tack on" to one player. This rule will
oe ODjeciea to dv the sane element aa
a step backward and probably will not
go through.
Considerable discussion will take place
over the Interpretation of tha rules by of
fliials and it la not unlikely that some
measures will be taken to force the of
filial to give more strict attention to the
letter of the law. The rules need weed
Ing out, and their phraseology should be
changed, but the officials will atlll have
a task no matter what the committee 1
able tu do with the English language
and the cede. If the officials will enforce
a!l the rules (and this means that com
petent men must be engaged to officiate!
there will be leea ground for complain
than there was last fall, though the cod
remain as complicated as ever.
LINCOLN. Neb. Feb. 1 -(Special Tele
Kram ) When George Hackenschmldt cuar
anteed to throw Tr. B. F. Holler twice in
an hour he promised too much and failed
o secure even one fall within the allotted
time. The Russian Lion appeared to a dis
advantage with Roller and was on the de
fensive nearly as much as the Seattle doctor.
Roller broke Ilachenschmldt's holds with
ease and finished apparently In better con
dition than Hackenschmldt. Roller picked
Hackenschmldt up several times and threw
him to the mat, but at no time had a
chance for a fall. In the preliminaries
Blocks won In two straight fall from Collins.
Holdcn. an Omaha wrestler, appeared for
the first time before a Lincoln audience
and made a big hit with the crowd with
his clever work against Ernest. Macken-
sehmldt'a trainer. Krnest won two straight

Lincoln opera house. Frank Ootch wrest

Would Form Tri-City
Amateur Ball League
Enthusiasts of Three Cities in Hopes
of Forming Organization Qaig
ley May Leave City.
The formation of a Tri-City league of
amateur teama In the three cities is one
of the things that the enthusiasts of that
class of base ball are earnestly wishing
would come to pasa. The making and
keeping up of such a league Is very hard,
but It Is found possible .and advisable In
many cities the slse of the three cities right
here on the Missouri. An effort to form
such a league will probably be made.
Frank Qulgley, captain of tha Stors
Triumphs last year and for years manager
and captain of the Diets organisation, may
not be in Omaha next year, as he Is seri
ously considering an offer from President
Carey of the Mink league to manage the
Nebraska City team next year. Qulgley
haa always been a most enthusiastic sup
porter of amateur sports In Omaha' and
his loss would be felt greatly In both foot
ball and baso ball. If he went to Ne
braska City he would probably play the
outfield and act as utility catcher.

Omaha may have another amateur ball
park next summer if arrangements can be
made for ground suitable for such a pur
pose. WUllam Stockham of the firm of
Stockham Mlsener, is representing a
number of the amateur plays of ths city
In such an undertaking.
The grounds where the old Diets park
stood a few years ago are probably tha
best In the city for a base ball park, but
as the park Is owned by an eastern syndl
cate, which Is adverse to letting It for a
term of years, this place does not seem
feasible. The Diets park grounds are on
Spautding and Thirtieth streets, at the end
of tha Dodge street car line.
The proposition of the owners of the
grounds is to let the park for a year at
time, with one year's notice of removal,
This means practically a two years' con
tract, but the Omaha men do not want to
take It under five years, as the cost of
erecting the ball park would be 17,000 or
tg.000. The cost of purchasing the ground
outright would be about tU.Ouo.
At present the only amsteur park In
Omaha la the Benson Eagles' park, near
Krug park.
Amateur base ball In Omaha, South
Omaha and Council Bluffs was very suc
cessful laat season and the prospect of
another park would boost It big for the
coming year. The various teams are lining
up now for the coming season In April.

PEKING, Feb. 1. The discovery that
twenty deaths from the plsgue have oc
curred In the Chinese hospital at Tientsin
has renewed the suspicion that the au
thorities there are concealing the real
conditions. In doing this, however, they
are merely complying with an Imperial
edict recently lsued that no reports should
reach the capital that were calculated to
cause alarm.
It Is believed here that the plague is
not diminishing end the physicians at

are at least M victims dally throughout
the Infected quarters.
HARBIN. Feb. l.-The burning of the
accumulated bodies of plague victims has
begun and already 1,000 have been de
stroyed outside the towns. Coffins are
stacked upright, surrounded by logs, upon
which ell is thrown, while the uncoffined
bodiHS, frozen, are piled on top. Then the
torch is applied. -
Those having charge of the cremation
protect themselves from the disease by
heavy masks and bandages, but the
coolies, who drive the wagona and handle
the bodies, being fatalists, take no such
precautions. It will take several days for

PURELY VEGETABLE
TEE ORE SAFE BLOOD REMEDY
It is a generally recognized fact
that medicines taken from the botan
ical kingdom are better adapted to
the delicate human system, and safer
in every way than those composed of
strong mineral mixtures. Among
the very best and safest of vegetable
preparations is S. S. S., a blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, in such combination as to
make it the greatest of all blood puri
fiers and the finest of all tonics.
8. S. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral in any form, and
is an absolutely safe medicine for any
one to use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofula, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions of the circulation. It is
perfectly reliable and safe for children;
and little ones who have been weak
ened with scrofulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, can
take this mild vegetable remedy with
good results and without the slightest
danger. S. S. S. is unequalled as a
tonic; it invigorates every portion of
the system, and the healthy blood it
creates largely assists in overcomin&j
any derangement of the stomach
and digestive system. If you need a
blood medicine you could do no better
than to take S. S. S. It has been in
use for more than forty years and is
still recognized as the best. Book on
the blood free to all who write.
