Gilmour Dobie. coach of five cham-) pionship football teams for Washing-1 ton, believes that the present foot-' ball rules should be changed, so as to place the old 20-yard restriction on the forward pass. The long, un limted pass gives the advantage all to the offense, he says, and results in too many unearned and accidental errors. Such plays, for instance, as those with which Oregon scared Washing ton, or with which Pennsylvania beat Michigan, after the latter had a lead of 21 points in the first part, would be impossible if Dobie had his way. “There have been times during the season." says Dobie, “when 1 have been dissatisfied with the rules gov erning the game. I don’t think, as a natter of fact, that the game is quite os goo;! this year as last. -The two big changes made in the rules have thrown a good deal of uncertainty into the results, as you can see by a glimpse at many of the big contests this year. “Take, for instance, the Pennsyl-, vania-Michigan game,” continued the Seattle mentor. “Michigan, had nr.sylvania beaten 21 to 0 at the end of the first half. Pennsylvania hen turned around and won, 27 to 21. hings like this were not so frequent ■ - : season and in previous years, and ’s ha’ der to get at the real strength of the teams through the scores this ea- than it was. “When the> were changing the ulcs for this season I think it would, pe haps, have been ail right to have raised the number of downs to four ard at the same time have kept the -T-ya:d ’estiiction on the forward pass. Where, last year, the defense was, perhaps, unduly strengthened, this v;a- tlvo advantage is altogether with the offense, which adds greatly .3 the uncertainty.” WI1 ; I AM BAILEY WRITES TO EMERALD FROM PHILLIPINES San Isidro, N. E. P. I. October 17, 1012. Dsar Friend: I am stationed in Central Luzon, a wide flat country, similar to the wide vert’al part of the Willamette valley. All around for miles the level rice fields stretch away like green carpets. There are no fences or farm houses to br eak the view ,but the monotony is relieved by the large spreading mango trees, palms, and clumps of bamboo. The people live in villages of palm leaf huts, which at a distance look like a group of haystacks. The people in their homes and about their 'aily tasks present many picturesque scenes. I like to walk through the market place in the evening and wit ness the tumult and noise incident to the day's shopping. I.ast month I used to go out to the fields and watch them plant rice. The fi l l is flooded and stirred into a thin mud. Then a line of men, women, ’’lid boys, each bearing a bunch of m:ng lice sprouts, take their places t one end of the plot. Then men on he dike at the edge strike up some thing lively on their banjos and gui tars, and the row of planters mioves backward through the thin ooze, stooping and, at each beat of the mu sic, sticking down in the mud a green nee stalk. T am teaching in a large high school and I find it very interesting •vork. Many of the pupils have fine minds, and nearly all possess good memories. They are patriotic and look forward anxiously to the time •hen the United States shall see fit >- • { iiic Jems ui government; in their hand®. They take an active part m athletics and have a great pride in the name of their school. The climate is not disagreeable and disease is, at the present seldom in evidence. The American people have ■easen to be proud of their achieve ments in civilizing and educating these people. The Protestant religion is making rapid strides here and the power of the Catholic Church, once the dominant power, is swiftly wan ing. The resources of the country are 'ust being tapped and the future of the Philippines seems bright. Your friend, W. R. BAILEY.
