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

Una of the defending team. Had the ball
not been touched It might have rolled over
the goal Una for a touchback. In which
cane the defending team would kick off
from Its twanty-flve-yatd line. 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. A
loss of fifteen yards la the penalty for
not reporting which should be awarded as
soon, as the referee discovers that the man

HARVARD . 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.

Jackson Model "H." Price, $1,600. (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.

b shifted to center. 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.

NEW YOK. Oct. 3. The West Point foot

Cornell has been identified with West
