M:V YORK, Oct. S. Utile new Informa tion rrgHrdlng tha foot ball rules situation was gleaned at the annual meeting of the rules committee and the central board of officials at the Murray Hill hotel recently. There wera enough foot ball men present Id make the a-ntherlng a notable one, and those lovora of the autumn sport eat and cliwiissed the playing code nearly all night. Walter Camp was In the chair, and it wan lie who expounded the difficult point I hat cropped up throughout the evening. Mnny were present who had only a super fliiil knowledge of the playing code. These enthusiast camq primed with In numrrablo Questions. More Improbable complications were mentioned at the meet ing than will ever crop up on the grid Iron In the next 100 years. The majority of the questions came from i the younger clement, who, according to 1 tw. Rabbltt. chairman of the central board of foot ball officials, are exceedingly de Iro'is of becoming officials thla year. It Is n encouraglmrAilgn, but had these young men learned the principle upon which the game Is built, much time would' Jiave been saved. Many points were referred back to the rules committee, and the mall vole of that body will shortly be announced. Much time vna spent In threshing out section 6 of rule C. which governs a fair catch. The rule provides that a player who signals for a fair catcli may le.ke two steps after making the catcli. It was pointed out that a ball sometimes bounds out of a man's arm, and It was necessary for hliu to take several steps to complete his fair catch. Should these steps be allowed, and after the ball Is actually caught, Is the jilayer entitled to the two steps under the rules? Mr. Camp's Interpretation was that the ijilayer might take as many steps as he pleased If the ball bounded off his chest rr arms, but could take only two after he auccessfully caught It. He pointed out, Jiowever, that as soon as the bull was touched, every player oh the field was on alde, and so could knock over the catcher In their endeavor to capture the leatlier. A jilayer, however, could not actually Inter fore with a free catch. Under the ruling-, n man might juggle the ball down the field If such a thing were possible. It was decided to refer back to the rules committee the suggestion that some pro vision be mado regarding the refusing of the . penult of an Incomplete forward pass. It wan cited that a forward pass might be liMlWl I i ll mmnwrn wm I C J T i PUP You've Read about our" set-price" Clothing Specials 'at $10, $15, $20 and $25, with labels " on the sleeve."

Aa It was touched, the defending team, which did not violate the rules, la compelled to line up Inside cf Its ten-yard line, which Is manifestly unfair. It was decided that the game should always be played with a new foot ball, and that In the case of the ball becoming waterlogged In the first period, another new ball should.be used In the second half. If a player comes Into the game at the beginning of the second period he should report to the refereee the same as If he had been changed during the. play.

READY FOR WORK Coach llaau-aton and Assistant Are Uettlaa; Material la Knap. CAM 11RIDOK. Mass., Oct. 3. With the opening of Harvard university the prellmin ary foot ball practice under the direction of Head Coach Hercy Hauahton will soon give way to formal work, with the usual accompaniment of undergraduate watchers and the Inspiration that comes to the squad with lull sidelines. That the early season practice has proved of more than ordinary value Is demonstrated by the spirit shown by the candidates trying for the eleven and the satisfaction expressed among the Har vard supporters la the system that Hamil ton has adopted. According to the present Idea prevailing In Cambridge the coach ing system this fall at Harvard will be far different from that of the Crane regime. In Haughton Harvard has a couch of the Hill Reld type, a man who will work the men for everything that Is In them and who will not tolerate the least bit of fooling on the field. Haughton's policy Is to select a first squad at the earliest possible time and to keep that squad Intact until the goal of the season, the Tale' game, Is reached. By playing the same men In the same positions every day he expects finally to have a well-oiled machine that will run smoothly all season and will not have the ups and downs of Crane's team, due tl eleventh' hour changes In the lineup. The Idea Is an excellent one and under the supervision of Coach Haughton it should result Is a far stronger combination than that of 1907. While Haughton has had his squad hard at work he has not as yet permitted the men to Indulge In acrlmmoglng or In rough tackling work, but nevertheless they have been kept busy all the time and have had no chance to loaf occasionally as was the case a year ago. Harvard, as usual, has an abundance of end and backfleld candidates, but there Is a dearth of heavy line material. Of last year's line only Captain Burr and Fish are available. Captain Burr will this year be In as guard, as he did not play his best game at tackle last year, and moreover the duties of the position Interfered ma terially with his kicking. For the vacan cies In the line there are a number of promising candidates. Nourse, McKay, Forchelmer, Hoar and Ver Wleb are the most likely choices. With; the excep tion of Nourse and McKay these men will require much working and driving to make them of varsity caliber. For the end posi tions Crawley and Corbott of last year's freshmen eleven and Houston, substitute on the varsity are regarded as the most Ilkoly candidates. At quarterback Brown, Cutler, S prague and Galllttl are all doing well, with the choice resting; possibly with Brown, Cutler and Sprague. The backfleld positions will be hardest of all for which to select men. Kinnard of last year's varsity,, Corbett and Smith of the freshmen team. Wlthington, Oraydon, Gilbert and Gray are all showing good form; and it Is certain that Coach Houghton will be well fortified In this department. Last year Harvard lacked driving power to score when Inside an opponent's 20 yard mark. This was, no doubt, due to confusion In the team; a lack of concentric, working between line men and back field. This fault should be overcome If Haugh ton persists in his policy to turn out a machine that will work Intact from the opening of the season, and If enough line candidates report to insure keen -competition there is no reuson why the Crimson should not turn out an eleven stronger than usual. The same system was tried with the crew last spring, with most bril liant result a, and it would appear as though Haughton had taken a leaf from Coach Wray'a book of experience. An attempt . will probably be made at Harvard to play the kicking game to the limit of its possibilities. With Haughton, Kernan and Burr on hand to coach all possible kicking material, there Is every reason to expect that Harvard will have the onslde kick developed to a high do- gree of proficiency. As thoa play has been shown to be the superior of the for ward pass, when conducted properly, there is every heason to expect that Harvard will show great strength in at least one feature of the open game. . Harvard's schedule this year Is an un usually rigid one, calling for games with the Navy, Brown, Carlisle, Dartmouth and Tale, and lends itself readily to the plans of Coach Haughton. In addition to these three big contests Harvard plays Bowdoln, I'nl versify .of Mulne, Bates Williams and Springfield Training school. These minor games should weld Harvard's machine so that by the time of the Navy game it will be running with clocklike precision.

(Top and storm front S75 extra). You want a motor car, of course, everyone does, but to select one within the limits of your purse is quite a serious matter. You can't afford to buy a cheap car, because you know pretty well that cars of that type are bound to be costly in repairs, and that in two or three years, at the outside, they will be ready for the scrap heap. You want a car that with reasonable care will be practically as good at the end of five years as at first; a car of power to climb easily the most difficult hills; a car that runs smoothly and comfortably; a car you can rely on to "take you there and back;" a car built so well that your repair bill never need to worry you. Well! you say; I can't afford such a fine car. Now here is the point: We have for years studied to produce a substantial car, built of the very best materials, with every feature that goes to make the best modern car, and yet keep the cost within your reach by cutting out every single item of expense for "frills" for things that have nothing what ever to do with the real, workable value" of the car. You can buy a Jackson Car, like the one illustrated, or a Jackson Roadster or Runabout, with this distinct guarantee from us: That every car we build is with this one definite thought in mind of saving your money by scientifically eliminating the "frills" the really useless, expensive things that creep into car manufacturing. We guarantee more real, practical automobile value in Jackson Cars than in any other car made in America. Find out all about these cars; call and see them; compare them with others, point by point, and then the car you buy will be a Jackson. X ft No Hill Too Steep Some of the Striking Features of this Car otr marvelous value are Its 30 horsepower 4-cylinder motor with 4 bore and 4 stroke (compare tbls with the dimensions of any other car on the market around this price, selective type, sliding gear trans mission, Hess-Bright bearings, 32x4 pneumatic tirftfs, oiler built In base of motor Insures perfect lubrication, 110 Inch wheel base, double Ignition with batteries and magneto (Splltdorf), and full Elliptic springs, which have been most carefully tempered, tested and adjusted, and which are a perfect revelation In the solution of the easy-riding problem.

If he is not, Hyd. of the 1907 team Is the strongest man out for the position. In the bock field the first string will probably be Murphy, Brides and Coy, as it was last year. Wheaton and Philbln, sec ond string- balfs. Daly and Kllpatrlck, new men, are the strongest of the others. Daly was captain of Andover In 1906. He could not pluy on his freshman team because of entrance conditions, but he Is looked on to be one of the season's stars. Kllpatrlck will probably play fullback on the second string. He captained the 1907 team. YALE HAS FULL TEAM OF GIANTS IJis 'Will Average 200 Poauds or Bet- .lr This Yer. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 3. There will be an unusually heavy Yale eleven this year. From present indications there are half a dozen men nearly sure cf the team, who weigh more than 200 pounds. Of these. Cooney at 2ii5 pounds, Hobbs at 20, Green ough at 2-5. Andrus at 10, Goebel at 210 and Brides at 300 are all nearly sure of a place. . The main problem will be developing a quarterback to fill the place of "Tad" Jones, and his able substitute. Dines. The ends will also be weak, but the main work will be picking a quarter. Hopkins of the freshman team and Bingham, second sub stitute on the 'varsity team, seem the strongest men at present, but It is ru mored that the cocahes will utilise either Wheaton or Philbln for the place, probably the former. Both players were halfbacks last year. Each Is fast and brainy enough to be of great use as a quarter. Wheaton, through his drop-kicking and his ability In the Inside kick and forward pass, would be extremely valuable to the team. Captain Burch will play right end. Haines, star end and drop-kicker of the freslimen; Mersereau. tackle on the same, and Iogan, a "sub" on the "varsity, are the most valuable candidates for left end. for tackles to fill the places made va cant by the graduation of Captain Bigelow and Paige, Andrus and Hobbs are the best material. Both of these men played on the second team all season last year, be ing Ineligible , for the 'varsity through scholarship deficiency. . For guards, Oreenough of the freshmen ann looney ana uoenei, last yer s varsity regulars, will fight It out. for the two post tlons. It Is not unlikely that Cooney sill QUARTERBACK FOE YALE TEAM Hopkins of Last Year's Freshmen Has Call at Present. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 3. Although there has been much speculation as to who Is best fitted to become quarterback for the Yale 1!H'8 foot ball team, it now looks as if the man would be Hopkins, who wus quarter on the freshman team last year.' Hopkins 1s very light and wiry. He runs back punts after the style of Tad Jones, and, like him. never loses his head. His dodging on the ten-yard line, followed by clever forward pass, won the game from the Harvard freshmen last year. Hopkins is In fine condition. Against him for the quarterback position la 11. P. Bingham. If Hopkins proves too light, irobably J. R. Kllpatrlck, formerly an Andover halfback, will be asked to try for quarter, although he Is now playing with the halfbacks. All the .'varsity pluytra of last year who did not graduate are back. AEMY TEAM TO BE ARMY PRODUCT West Point Klern to lie Coached by tiradaaies. NEW YOK. Oct. 3. The West Point foot ball eleven will depend entirely on its own gridiron product for coaching this season, with the exception of Joe Beacham, now and army officer who learnen his fuotball at Cornell. This Is not the first time Cornell has been identified with West Point football. Torney, the Army fullback, who waa pftr.li a Miong player for ho soldier elevens a season or two ago and whose run beat Hogan's Yale team, was a Cornelllan before he entered the Military Academy. Ueut. Nelly Is the head coach at West Point and two of his assistants will be IJeuls. Zell and Tipon. Zell plaed end at the Point and was a contemporary of Farnsworth, who was one of the best all round footbal players the At my ever had Chalmers Petrol! pi Hl30.0 Large Stock on Hand Can Make IMMEDIATE DELIVERY A -.-cylinder, 'M J I.
