CAPTAINS WANT NO CHANGES

NEW HAVEN, Conn., March U. All
the bis: university foot ball captains of
the east favor almost no ehanva In the
rules for next season. Their views fol

Captain Wilson, Tale:
"It seem to me the rules are exceed
ingly satisfactory. It has always been
the policy of the rule committee to clean
up the came. The rules this last season
were food and needed soarcely any
changes; for this reason the committee
attempted aotblng radical.
"Captain Mahan of Harvard, who has
been visiting me, expressed the opinion
that the rules were all right and that the
slight chance did not mar any feature of
the gam, perfect ae-lt had bean already.
I fully agreo with him."
Captain Karris, University of Pennsyl
vania:
"I should say that the changes are not
very radical. The rule that the forward
pass out f bounds become Incomplete
Is very good. This will prevent long
passes out of bound oa the fourth down
Instead of kloklng.

"The rule prohibiting any agreement
among teams for coaches to walk up
and down the stdollp.es Is fair enough for
big games, but I think It Is a serious set
baok for coaches In developing their
teams during early and midde season
games, at a time when a coach would
like to try some experiment.
'The rule Which change the method
of substitution of players alon seems
unsatisfactory. No pi ayer should he sub

furthermore, I believe that substitute
should be allowed to gu Into the game
at any stage of the oruoial fourth
period."
Hoppe is a Boxer ,

the Billiard Game
NSW YORK, March 1 It Willie Hoppe,
the world's champion billiard player, lent
boxing a fine boost when he told how he
employed the glove to some extent In
preparing for a championship match on
the green table. Now oomea Mike Gib

thing we have to a middleweight cham
pion, returning the compliment. Whloh
two little detatla bring the "gentlemen's

isentlemanly sport of flsteuffs closer
together.

Captain Miles, Annapolis:
1 am glad that th rule committee
ha left tho gam essentially the same.
It la a good tame and ha teen tor the

It la not much ot a team that has to

Ia aom Inataneca last fall, the ball waa

merely because It was more aocurate.
The new rule will eliminate thl practice.

J. M. MeAullffe. captain of the lart

"There are a couple of more angles to

And yet, all these things are a matter of

Now, according to my modical friend.
a boxer' life teaches him to bear physi

career a pugilist ha so often bad oc

these have become fortified.- A blow that
would double up a layman ia 'dlgeated'
with comparative ease by the ring war

acquaintanceship with the punch taught
him to bear the sting it inflicts, but his
superior training ha abetted In th
