VliU Parents Russell Nelson, who Is a student at Changes Important ... These changes were termed by Chairman E. K. Hall the "most Im portant, in making the game safe for the players, since the modifica tions of 1006 and 1007." Although It had been found that tho "so-called fatality list accredited to football was more than 60 per cent entirely misleading and inaccurate,," Hall said, the committee had noted an Increasing number of Injuries, due, It was believed to the "intensive development of the open gome." "Tho result," Hall explained, "has been to bring into the game certain practices or styles of play, most of them entirely legitimate and within tho spirit of the rules which are , tending, in the opinion of the com mittee, to bring into the game cer-' tain new sources of hazard to the ! players." It is to combat this tendency that the modifications have been adopted. , Aim At "Flying Wedge." Tho new klckoff rule Is aimed di rectly at the so-called "flying wedge". form of interference. With five men of tho receiving side required to re main . on their 45-yard line, there himself.'?.. Tho new rule regarding the use of the hands by players on the defense was adopted to . meet, the protests of some coaches who said players were delivering weakening and dangerous raoo.E- puncnes" on . the necks of opposing linemen. . Violation of the new rule calls for disqualification of the player and -the loss of half the distance to the offending team's goal- nne. i ...... . . , , . The liberalized rule on substitutes was adopted with the idea of allow ing tired players to rest without los ing their, place In the game. , ..The. new rule further provides that the , team, making a substitution is to be charged with a ''time out" un less, time already .Is . out for some reason or, unless, the substitution is made for an injured player. , Tho danger of the flying block or tackle, , the committee found, involves principally the blocker or tackier himself and not tho opponent. Un der the new rule it will be legal for the tackier to leave his feet only at the Instant ho makes contact with the opponent. The penalty for violation has been fixed at five yards. It was pointed out also that this rule will provide a forward passer with protection af ter he has thrown a pass. If the of fense Is committed against a forward passer the penalty is to be enforced from the spot of the preceding down. . To Prevent Piling tip , The now "dead boll' rule was adopt ed to prevent crawling and piling up, causes of frequent injuries. - Hall explained that the rule had been adopted because of the danger or injury when the ball carrier keeps struggling for distance until the whis tle blows. "If he is partly on the ground his opponent has. no way to stop him except to come down on him," he said, "and ho is 'in no position, un der such circumstances, to protect will be -much less chance for an ef- wtmimmram hi.lmii iiiMUMiiiiM mn THE X.

"Of course -there- will - always be injuries; in any game Involving both physical contacts and speed but we believe that results will show that It . has been possible to accomplish much by modification of tho rules alone. . "Thero aro other things which can- be done which will tend still further to minlmizo the Injuries but they aro outside of the Jurisdiction of the rules committee The committee pur poses, however, to mako definite rec ommendations to officials and coaches as to what in our judgment they can do to still further reduce in juries, and also send a letter of rec ommendation, to high schools and un organized teams as to ways by which, they may eliminate the number of serious injuries by better supervision and prompt intelligent attention to trivial or minor injuries." Jack Wright, local theatre man ager, had a pleasant- surprise last night when he discovered that Alano Taka Dass, Hindu mystery man and psychic who is here for a week's per formance at the Liberty was an old friend of his. Tho two men had met in Walla Walla when Mr. Wright was playing tho organ and in the orchestra at the Capitol theatre and the mystic was making a vaudeville tour. At that time, as the performers and the orchestra members would visit in the dressing rooms awaiting show time, the Hindu told tho story, of how he first became, awnre of his "unusual powers of predetermination.' Alano Taka Dass was born In Bom bay, India, he recited. His father was called a Hindu "prophet" which, is the same as a professor In this coun try. At the age of three Taka I can remember going with his father to the nearby villages and sitting quietly while his father taught. To this he attributes the fact that at an early age he was In the habit of do ing much thinking, and wondering that the normal child of that age does not do. t - According to Taka Dass he had. his firsti vision at the age of seven. He was sitting in the yard of his home In India- and seemed" to fall half asleep and a very strong dream came to him. "It seemed as though a little girl was standing there and nearby was coned a rattlesnake. . . . The name 'Mary' came to me and as the rattlesnake struck I awoke from my dream. I was greatly Impressed with my dream and so I told my inother about it and she, remembering that there was a little girl in our neigh borhood by the name of Mjary, told the girl's mother about the dream. Naturally watching Mary very close tho next day, she narrowly averted that very thing from happening and a rattlesnake six feet long was killed in the yard."' After that Taka Dass said he often had dreams or visions and. as they: usually pertained to something of importance ho. was . regarded with a great deal of awe by the neighbor hood folk- , . At the age of 11 he was brought to New York and thence to Holly wood where he received the major portion of his education. He- has played in many of tho theatres of the United States and also main tained at times offices In many large cities where people could come to him and get advice on many things of importance in their lives. During his engagement In La Grande he expects to answer ques tions of all kinds, calling you by namo and working many other as tonishing feats, according to Mr. Wright. His performance will begin tomorrow night, it is announced.

CHINESE WAIT FOR ADVANCE " 0F JAPANESE (Continued from Page One) put far in the background all pre vious military action of more than two weeks of heavy fighting." United States consular authorities advised all Americans in -outlying places in the Lower Yangtze valley to evacuate these towns and come to Shanghai because of the possibility of widespread, hostilities. Other foreign ers also were reported evacuating in terior towns. Thousands of additional Japanese troops unloaded from four more transports in the river today and marched .to quarters, accompanied by artiUery, machine gun equipment and a hospital corps. Headquarters an nounced that further detachments are expected shortly. The total num ber of Japanese troops here now was given as approximately 25,000. General Tsai Tlng-Kai, commander of the Chinese troops, in the area, said two new divisions havo been added to his army, bringing the total numbers of Chinese soldiers now ready to oppose the expected big Japanese thrust to 50,000. The two new divisions, the Chinese said, com prised 20,000 meru.- ,.t Foreign Forces 10,000 Tho forces of the foreign powers, after the arrival of a French con tingent which is expected shortly, will number slightly more than 10.000 troops. ..The Chinese armies seemed prepar ing to Insure an orderly and dogged retreat If they should find It neces sary to fall back before the power of the Japanese advance. Most of their new troops have been assigned to the Kiangwan sector in which there has been considerable action during the past week. The belief was expressed by Chi nese military authorities that the Japanese plan much, of their offen sive action for this vicinity. A number of Japanese shells fell Into the sectors patrolled by the United States marines and American and English members of the Shang hai volunteer corps during a bom bardment today. The . volunteer corps withdrew for safety's sake, but they emerged again after the shelling was over. j About a dozen shells, most of them duds, fell within the marines' area. Several others landed among the vol unteers. No one was injured. The bombardment was directed against Chinese positions.
