WHAT WILL 1311
BE
SEVERAL . RADICAL CIIASGES
MCST BE LEGISLATED.
A Shaded Llnp, Limited Interfer

Football Is over and from this date
on until pome time In Septetnbir of
next year, newspapers" will be . era ai
med with prospective outcome o! the
rule's committee sessions to be held
next spring.1 The committed will
meet tbie time with suggestions &t
their disposal from every c nieg
coach !u the United States, at least
those o! first and secondary srades.
What n 111 be the outcome?
Followers of the game differ :is to
whit Is reeded, for the mortality list
was practically as big this year as be
fore the big upheavals in the pi in-
thei committee strlved valien'iy to
dodge, l'afc happened despite the'r ef
foila to ovoid It. It will contimi U
happen as long as flying tackled 'are
forbidden and heavy Interference Is
permitted. ' : ' I ,
'The commute no doubt thought It
had accomplished something by abol
ishing the flying tackle, but an anal
ysis of the standing tackle speedily
shadows any real virtue ln.lt. ; The
Bmall player for whom , the : new
game was principally designed, has
no more license, If he resards his
back at all, to tackle a heavy player I
from a' standing position when the j
opponent Is under full head of steam.
The tackle must be made from the
side In order to save necks and seines,
and thereby Is endangered the surety
of the tackle. .So it la a safe bet that
the flying tackle will be reinstated iu
the little blue book next year.
As to interference, something will j,
have to be done and until the game t
Is made a man to man affair, Injuries (
will be more or less frequent and fa- -
tal too. It appears certain that" next J
year there will be some modification .

the association will retain the same
number throughout the season.
The members of the association ap
provid a rule which riv th n,

celved the necessary impetus last
evening when a captain and manager:
were chosen by .the . student body to
head the destinies of that branch of
athletics In the present season.
Hal (Bill) BohniJnkamp, who fig
ured .conspicuously la the great In
door game with the B. M. A., Is cap
tain. He will assume the reins at
once and proceed to arrange the prac
tice schedules, which is itself a dif
ficult proposition on account of lack
of facilities in the way of a hall, and
this winter. Material is coming in for
he high school five" from several dif
ferent sources and the team Bhould
be a winner. The B. M. A.', the Lam
pda Phi Alpha and the regulars' and
subs back from last year's high team,
should certainly 'give Captain Bill
enough material to pick from.
. . Faculty Manager Elected.
' Prof. Neubauer Is manager of the
squad. He Is one of the faculty and
Incidentally one of the Wst popular
Instructors of the school so that ne
will find willing bands behind him

(By Harvey T. Woodruff In the Chi
cago Tribune.)
Otis Crandall of the New York Gl-
ants secures the position at the top of
the list In the official National league
batting averages, which was released
for publication Sunday. As Crandall
took part in only forty-three games,
however, and Wilbur Goode of the
Boston Doves, the former Cleveland
player, In only twenty-three, the real
honor will be considered as belonging
to Sherwood Maigee 'of Philadelphia,
with his mark of .331',' as compared to
the .342 of Crandell and the .337 of
Goode." '
. Artie Hofman' Is the first to show
among the Cubs, with a swatting per-"
centage of "'.325. This total' Is sur
passed only by the three piay ers nam

In Beventy-four games, while Hofman
took part in 135 contests,' Frank
Schulte, playing 150 games, is only
other Cub to gain a position in the cir
cle of .300 hitters," ranking thirteenth
among the fourteen Btlckers who went
over the charmed figure.
Cubs Second In Batting.
'In club batting the Cubs, with .268,
are In second position to the New York
Giants, with .275, and just a notch a
head 'of Fred Clarke's Pirates, who

tion, , . -
It is Interesting to note that 234
players took part in the pennant race,
Cincinnati leading bya wide margin
with forty-one drawing ' salaries ; at
some time during the season. It also
is noteworthy that the Cubs had the
