Hnr Radical Change. The most radical change from 191 ?a hlnge.1 around the forward pa. a. ar.d the chanae waa upheld. I'nder tha old teneta an Incompleted forward pass from betitnd the goal line counted aa only an emtra down on the first or second down. On the third dow-n such a play waa declared a safely. Now. on any d"wn. It wt'.l be declared a safety The fVct of this will be to Increase the kicking to a slight extent. I'mler rule 3. section 3. regarding iie substitution of players, the rule has been amended by the aubstltution ef ti-e words "or suspended." so that the closing eentenc of the paragraph r.ow rearta: "A player disqualified or suspended for rau.e may not ba re turned t the game." Offside plaring gets an added dig. as follows: "If the ball, when kicked, strikes any player on the kicker's side be Is offside and the ball Is dead." The paragraph lettered "E." In rule . section . is changed by tha addition ef the words "or after. " so as to read: tvhen on a forward pass tha ball, after being pas.ed forward, touches the around, or after being touched br a player of either side." Taacfchark II lea Sew. A new touchback-deflnlng rule waa added: "A forward pass going over the goat l:n. or striking the pwts or uprlghta la a touchback." The safety was a'so brought to a mora definite understanding by the following amend, ment: "A kick bounding back and bit ting a man behind the goal Una Is a sa fety." As a rlartftcatton of the rule regard ing dead ball the solona lmniltl.il the word'a -either" and "or rolling on the ground" from nil . aectlon IT and paragraph labeled G. making the amended rule read as follows: "When, on a forward pass, tha ball, after be ing passed forward and legally touched by any player croe.es the goal line on tha fly." Tha final two llnea of aectioa 1 on paga 1 of tha guide were also ellm Inated: If neither alda la In posses sion of tha ball, same aa free balL" Penalty Ralea Ckaage. Rules governing penalties have also been changed. Section 4. paragraph lettered "A" now reada: "Players of the alda not In poaaeestun of tha ball may u.e their hands and arms In tack ling the player who Is carrying the bail, or In a bona fide attempt to get at tha player with the ball." Paragraph R" of tha same regulation now reada: "flayer of tha aide which did pnt tha ball In play and are not In poasesslon of tha ball ahall not tackle nor In any way hold opponenta except In an actual attempt to tackle tha player who la carrying the ball" Some of the otr.tfr aalient chana-es which have been made since the ll playing aeaaon bay to do with the ball atrlkicg the offlclala, tha cutting of Intermissions and theban laid agalns'. assisting a runner. A short summary: On an Incompleted forward pasa the ball must be brought back to the point ot tha preceding down and a penalty of a down Inflicted. Ball lllttlag Ofaelal la Play. If the ball gtrlkea an official It shall continue In play. There shall be two minutes' Inter mtsalon between the first ard aecond and third and fourth periods, during which time no player (hall leave tha field. The man carrying tha ball cannot ba helped by any other player of his team, and any man, who. accidentally or otherwise, places a hand upon tha run ner to assist him shall have tha pen alty Impoaed upon him. M la aes eta-Mir alga a Recalled. Tha rale regarding tha ball atrlklng tha offlclala comes aa a result of a mlmp In the annual Mlnnesota-Mlchl-gan affray at Ann Arbor last Fall. It will ba recalled that the oval hit em pire. Hlnkey a glancing blow, rolled on tha ground and waa picked up by a Minnesota man who ran for a touch down. Referee Hackett ruled the ball dead under the then-existing rules. The t-to-0 defeat would have been a tie at least and perhaps a victory for Minnesota under the 1 1 1 rules. The injustice of the regulation was most strikingly llllustrated and Dr. Williams had to stand the burden. If the rula regarding the assisting of tha runner is strictly interpreted players will have to ba extremely a re ful with their hands. In the past of. flclala have alwara been lenient In the rasa of accidental Infractions but the New York session brought forth a most rigid declaration that the aide with the ball shall be penalized. FOOTBALL SEASON IS ON JEFFERSON HIGH BOYS PI.AY PEAP MVTES TIE. Hill Academy Hold Own Alumni to GoonevEgg Torn Vanconvrr Tram Day Great Game. Tha rortland Interacholastlc football bud blossomed forth In splendor yes terday with no less than three contests on the schedule. Jefferson went four 10-minute quarters with the Vancouver Deaf Mutes to a 0-0 score at Vancouver, and Hill Military Academy did a simi lar goose-egg turn with the academy alumni. This latter game waa played on Multnomah Field. 811. nt slgnala and a bagful of tricka constituted the Vancouver I'eaf Mute package of shrapnel In the. Vancouver tangle with Jefferson, but even the second grade aggregation sent across th Columbia by Coach 8mlth had no trouble In unfflthomlng the odd style of play. The Portland High School lads, on th other hand, contented themselves with trying out a new system of at tack, and tha mutea had a close shave In tha first quarter. After that neither side endangered the goal line to any extent. Tha work of Ash worth. Jefferson new center, waa the one redeeming feature of tha afternoon, the heavy-set youngster wading In like a steam truck on a rampage. Halfback Williams' punting waa good. Oreenaald occupied th entire cal cium areaway for the mutes, his tack ling being hard and as sure as the grip of a fighting bulldog. The lineups: j.ffereon High. Wash.

MOLESKIN SQUADS DQTCLUB GRiOlROfJ Multnomah's Star in Ascend ant for Coming Season's Footbal Battles. STRUGGLE FOR PLACES HOT Brilliant Galaxy of Players Out on Field Pally Competing .for Eleven Soldiers to Be First Team Met. Multnomah's football prospect are bright with the wealth of fine "ma terial" that turna out for the prelim inary work under the direction of Cap tain Rtnehart. At least two full teamr. and sometimes three squads, practice every afternoon, and. rivalry as to who will be the fnvored few when the real struggles begin la keen. v The club lost two star men In Carl son end Evenden, who have entered the Oregon Agricultural College, and undoubtedly will grace that college's lineup this Fall.

Kvenden was a star tackle. nimlrk Will Play. Notable among' the additions to tiie club's roster of gridiron stars it Ralfh Dlmlck, who played tackle for Notre Dame last year and rendered such signal service that he was selected for the All-West team. Dlmlck is also coaching the Columbia University squad. The football season will open for the club boys October 14, when they will line up against the Vancouver. Wash., soldiers. The next game is with Willamette University. October 21. The Oregon Agricultural College team follows on October 28. The sor dlers have a return match scheduled for November 4, and November 11 the "Winged M." team will play the sail ors of the cruiser Philadelphia. This probably will be the last game for the club team until they meet the Uni versity of Oregon on Thanksgiving day. No game has been scheduled for the Saturday before Thanksgiving day. The football event of the season, the one which Is expected to draw a tre mendous crowd, le the Oregon-Washington game, scheduled for November IS on Multnomah field. This Is the first year In the history of the colleges' athletic relations that the game has been set for Portland. Heretofore the teams have battled at either Eugene or Seattle. Mar Mem Competing. ' Of the new men trying to make the club team. Hastings, Hargraves. Wood and Glanelle form a quartet that shows very favorably. The former is a Minn iq nmm AUTO "BOM HOG" up Corvallls star halfback. Hargraves has designs on the quarterback position. He hails from Wabash. Ind. Wood was Cornell's quarter last year, and Glanelle is a halfback from the Columbua Club. Hastings Is light and as fast as a bullet. Other new men out for positions are Emily. O. A. C. end; "Speck" Hurlburt, Michigan, fullback; Rougers, Chicago, halfback, and Drugard, a Belmont, CaL, tackle. . a "Prospects look exceptionally brlghl for Multnomah being represented by a winner this year," said Manager Pratt yesterday. "There Is an abundance of classy material, and It will Je a dif ficult Job to pick the big team, so close Is the competition at present. "Following the successful .plan of last year, there will be two complete back fields used In eery game. They will alternate In the 15-mlnute plays." Even Dog Should Not Be En dangered Is Plea of the Peer-Sportsman.

LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL PIGSKIN KNIGHTS HARD AT WORK ON MULTNOMAH FIELD. ; ...Wj r Ai : 3 r-. ;:c r y y j BT THE MARQCIS DP QTEENSBERKT. Copyright. 1911. by the Msrquis of Queens be rrr. No good sportsman would ever drive his motor car In such a way as to en danger the life of any human being, let alone even a dog. which might pos sibly be the one and oaly friend of the person owning It, all his other friends having passed to the great be yond. But I see every day In the Jour nals stories of terrible catastrophes brought about solely by the insane and unsportmanllke conduct of the ownera of cars. I say owners, for even If the chauffeur' is driving, it is the owner who Is responsible for his decency in driving, all chauffeurs taking their cue from their masters. Some six years ago In the neighbor hood of London there were some terrl blv sad cases of little children being killed shall I say murdered? So strongly did I feel on the subject that the letter here reproduced waa penned to the press association. The letter appeared in most of the principal British dally papers and was com mented on the next day In nearly all of their leading articles. I. of course, came in for a considerable amount of abuse from the unsportsmanlike but, happily, a very small section of motor car owners. But abuse to me is like water to a thirsty man. and I would much rather have brickbats thrown at me In a good cause than applause In some cheap, popular sensation. Joy Riding Spells Disaster. No literary merit is claimed for the letter. It Is merely the outburst of a man whose better feelings were deeply hurt by the cruel conduct of these Joy riders, whose very Joy spells death and multllatlon to others. Two little children. Ellen Broad and Thomss Snapes. were killed January XO. 1905, and It was apropos of their sad deaths that the letter was written. I am asking the editor of The Ore gonlan to keep this In the sporting section, as I consider that motoring is a sport when properly conducted, and old-fashioned courtesies of the road observed, and, what's more. It is the real sporting motorist and the rest of us sportsmen who Intend to teach these fiends better manners. Appended Is the letter: To th. editor of the Torkshlre Post: Sir In a halfpenny mornlnn paper of today. I an. in 1 1 ' " uomus vi . . ' 1 . . . -- - - - aa Pnapes. I find It under the followtnc heading: "Child Rum inio a aoior. - ana we are told of Ellen Broad, who. KOtng home from school, "ran heedlessly In front of the car" and wa. killed, and of Thomas Snapea. 7 years of age. who. playing marble., and "runnlnc before the motor car of the Hon. H L. Bruce, sustained fatal lnjuiiea." While Winter waa on us and the roads were had where wa the sentle motorist? We looked and longed again for the pleas ant dust, and sniffed the air vainly for the spicy breetM and listened hopefully for the chcrful grunt. alas! he was at Mont Carlo taking his well-earned rest, or per haps, strengthening hi nerve for the com ing fray on hte yacht In the Mediterranean, varied bv an occasional dash ashore to sharpen up the wits of the very young and verv old continentals, or perhaps In same savare land showing to the astounded hesthens i save the word) the latest game of "hog-amok." Show Mockery of Case. But now, thank goodness. Winter Is wan ing. Once more the roads are drying up: Spring is knocking at the door, and all Is bright and Joyous, and to crown all the jaded motorist Is back with ruddy cheeks and Iron nerves and funny oaths from for eign parts. But there Is one thing mars the Joyous Mason, and that Is those abominable Brit ish children who will plav marbles like we all used to In tne goon cm aays. ana win go to school by the roads as we used to in the good old days. Instead of by the only safe modern way. over hedges and ditches. In fact, any d d old way except th right one. and who will Insist, as this halfpenny oatily tells us. on running Into poor innocent motors. And so the motor season commence. Good-bye. little Nellie Broad. Good-bye. little Thomaa gnapes. Sleep well: you have earned better than most of us who are older than von your rest. Some words of that r-aiitfful hymn. "We Are But Little Chil dren Weak." should be your epitaph. And as sure as th. sun rises some member of the near government of which I am an ar dent, though voteless, supporter will be your remaining little brothers' and sisters' cham pion.

DRAKE BOOSTS TRACK TEAM Prospects for Willamette "C" on ClnderpatTt Are Brightening. WILLAMETTE UNTVERSITT, Salem, Sept. SO. The track and field pros pects at Willamette University were given another boost today when Ray mond K. iprake, the winner In the dis cus event at the state lnterscholastic meet, held at Eugene last Spring, reg istered as a freshman in the college of liberal arts.. Drake ls a graduate of the Dayton, Or.. High School and has done considerable track work along other lines. As Willamette has been in need of a strong discus man for some time, Drake's coming ls especially welcome. The Methodists, aided by their new track, expect to make a great deal more of thls line of work than In the past- and are planning to schedule meets with several of the conference college teams the coming, season. For the first time at the Salem institution track work will be started during the Fall and kept up In the big indoor stadium during the Winter months. SHERIDAN FANS COXFIDEXT Game With Coltimbns Grays Today Keys Interest to High Pitch. SHERIDAN, Or.. Sept. 30. (Special.) Sheridan fans are confident that Sheridan will win from the Columbus Grays in the baseball game here to morrow. Fitchner will twirl for Sheri dan and Henry the Wiljamtna Indian pitcher will be on the bench ready to pitch in the event he is needed. Manager Grayson of .the Grays was notified that Sheridan was going to play Coast and Northwest League talent and Manager Lewis, of Sheridan, was told that the Columbus team had signed some Coast League material for this game. However, both manage ments have assured each other that will keep strictly within semi-profee-sional bounds. Willamiila will run a special train to Sheridan for the garni. PORTLAND ACADEMY LOSES Pacific University Team Able to Score by One Touchdown. PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, Forest Grove. Or Sept. 30. (Special.) The football season opened at Forest Grove today, when the Portland Academy eleven was defeated by the Pacific University squad 6 to 0. The game was replete with fumbles, especially on the part of Pacific By recovering one of the fumbles of the Portland lads the varsity team secured the only touchdown. The game showed lack of practice on the part of both teams. Pacific has had only a week's signal work with no scrimmage, so their line showed up weak and fumbles were frequent. The Academy was stronger in the line, but could not make yardage through Pacific, and punting honors were about evenly di vided between Bryant of Pacific and Cobb of Academy. Big Ben Mayfleld was Pacific's star performer. Portland made most of her vardage by recovered punts and fum bles. VanHorn, Sanford and Cobb played the pluckiest game for the visitors.
