Thla "matter his been referred to a" sub-com mittee consisting of Messrs. , Campy Dennis and Bell, which -will later report to a larger committee. Three changea of note were made. la the first chance, the time of the came waa lengthened 10 minutes, t minutes being added to each half, which will ' vnalr tntlirm nnlM Consist Of tWO DlST- Ing periods of 35 minute each. In tha recona cnange mi pvnajiy m am not of an unsuccessful forward pass, in stead of the loaa of the ball, will be the first and second downs, Tha other change relates to tha of flclala and distri butes the jurisdiction, of play among a field umpire, line umpire and referee. Two umpires have figured in games, but their appointment was optional with tha competing teams. The new legis lation makes tb eervieea of , two um pires obligatory In ail contests, and des ignates tha territory over which each shall preside. . Tba right to decide many points of play formerly vested In tha referee has been transferred to tha field umpire. , Professor tu M.

Mr. McMillan la already a member of the board of dlrectora and la one of tha hardest workers and best posted 'men in the Institution.

As manager, coach and captain of the winged M" eleven, at different times and . during certain yeara he . held tha three positions, he performed splendid service in the interest ot the sport and of tha club financially.

At present Mr. McMillan is working for the children's playground scheme and from reports at hand It looks as if tha .matter would bo pushed to a suc cessful issue without dlfnoulty.. - . Tha two elementa la tha club ath letlo and conservative -both of which work harmoniously together In the in terest of the integrity of tba institu tion, appear to be unanimous in picking Mr. Mc.fc.ilan for president.' .
