To thta aame com mute has been referred the task of ex amining the records of all games played between coljege and secondary school tteams. Agatest Strong- Colleges. ' h The Idea Is to prevent strong college teams engaging for early practice teams that do not compare with them In Strength. The rolea committee spent 'the last two days tn bringing the thousands of .suggestions received Into some sort of order. Naturally, many of theae were long the earns lines. By extracting the meat of the general ideaa, three marked communtcatlona war found aa follows: 1 Combination 1 (a) Division of the teen on line of scrimmage. . .1 (b) No pushing or pulling of man With ball by membera of his own team. (c) First man receiving ball allowed tta carry It anywhere. T dj Soma restriction of tackling, elimi nating diving or flying tackle where .tackier leaves feet j (e) Forward paaa allowed over any art of line to men on cads of Una or those behind the line when ball la put la play. , -.'."',...,. ,- -' ' .- (f) .Ends going down field not to be body checked. ' . To Was of Hands. ' (g) Men on each team 16 use hands and arma to .get an Opponent out of the way la order to get at the ball on a for ward paaa.' , . (hi Forward paaa touching the ground before being touched by a. player of either aids may first be touched only by a player In the defense. ' . (I) Players going down field under a punt not to approach nearer than five yards to catcher of punt., and cannot tackle, him or charge forward after ths catch unless the catcher starts to run with the ball. , . V , - , (11 Eliminate outside kick. .''. The' rules committee will seriously consider two phases of this combination, as follows': . . ,"' ' i N& l Whether It Is desirable under this combination to permit one runner to assist ths -player carrying! the ball. - No, 2 Whether advisable to allow In terchange of players;' I. a.,-let linemen come back behind.' ' . . Combination 2 (a) Seven men on line of scrimmage, the center rush always to be In the center. This would be sup. plemedted by a rule taking care of play ers at the side lines. . ' Offense of Ton Ken. (b) Back field of offense limited to four men.: (c) Eliminate neutral aone. (d) Limit forward pass to back of line of scrimmage. (e) fn receiver on offenae not to re ceive any help until he has reached line of scrimmage. vlf) Any roan receiving ball from kick 'that has not touched the ground not to be approached closer than three yards until tie. haa touched the ball. (g Distance to be gainea, seven yaras la four downs. .'' , Combination J (a) Set back bottom of goal posts sir feet behind line. put Halves tor Best, , (b) In. addition to changing the time of game from 35 to 80-mlnute halves to split the halves Into periods of IS minutes, with five minutes' Intermis sion, ths . play to be resumed by ths side In possession of the ball at the spot of the last down, at the beginning Of the second and fourth perloda. (C) When the ball Is put In pjay by scrimmage, seven men must be on the line and three of the defense must be at least four yards bark. (d) NO 'player on side possession of ball may use his handa, arma or body to push, or put on hla feet the player rtfnnlng with the ball. . (e) Forward pasa to be made and caught only by players standing be yond the line of acrlmmage when ball Is put' iuto play. (t) Players while tackling another muat have at least one foot off ground. (g) Must, make 10 yards In three downa between the 25-yard lines, and five yards between the 25-yard line and goal. If these suggestions are adopted, the rules committee will decide whether teams shall change sides at the begin ning of the second and fourth periods, the possession of the ball, downa. and dlatance to remain the same as before Interruption of play. sports or All sorts I j V '" ' ' . 1 y 1 Y . 1 - Jockeys Who Have Lived Clean Lives Have Become Rich. , : Through Track. ; , Abe Attell, the featherweight cbanv plon, who, It m said, will decline to fight Owen Moran next "month, owing to the latter's recent defeat at the handa of Matty Baldwin.

You may take this for a rad ical statement, but not so. Wrestling has not been Interferd with by law, Wrestling bouts can be held anywhere. It Is a popular sport and Frank Gotoh earned $52,000 last year. How Is that for a live wire sport. Doc Roller, the ex-pill roller of Sattle, has found wrestling so profitable that be has been traveling about the country for a year, One thing In favor of wrestling is that the majority of bouts are straight, wbecas in prise fighting many boxers are so crooked that they have to sleep In circular beds. There is ' no moving' picture Institution to spoil wrestling, although Ifeaven knows how soon the sport will be allowed to go unhindered by this twlentieth cen tury spoliation of legitimate sport. The sport is also popular In Mexico and a large number of Americans have emi grated across the border. Zbyszko, the Pole, and Mahmout. the Turk, are matched for a wrestling bout In Chicago this month. '" Tromblay Meets Luttbeg. On February 14, two of the greatest lightweight wrestlers of the present day are to try conclusions at the Coliseum in, Chicago Tha contestants axe Eugene iremblay, the undefeated champion of Canada, and Max Luttbeg,. claimant of tne 'American title. "I realize that I am taking dangerous chances in pitting Tremblay against Luttbeg," said Tremblay's manager to a unicago reporter, "but I think that my man will win. This Canadian wres tler Is a marvel of speed, and, while Luttbeg has been considered the mas ter In his class. I think that there will be a new world's lightweight champion arier inns contest nas been decided."

International ath letic relations, which have been strained ince the last Olympic meet In this city, will bo cemented again In the prlng if certain plans approved by Prince Henry of Prussia, Lord Lonsdale of England, and August Belmont of merlca are carried out. In view of the decadence of the Olympic meets, It as been well suggested and. In some quarters the suggentton has been acted upon of holding un international athletic lecttngjln connection with the German international exposition to be held June, July and August In Berlin. Although the plan was first broached some weeks ago nothing was done until later and now arrangements have proceeded so far as to warrant a sanguine prediction for the event. Lord Lonsdale, although more keenly Interested in pugilism than the athletic branch of sports, says: "It Is well and fitting that the great countries of the world should be moro closely linked tn Sports than they are.

On Washington's refusal to sign the agreement, the matter was postponed until the annual meeting of the confer ence colleges in December, at which time the solid five will assert them selves once more, with absolute surety of victory. Unless Washington agrees to the majority rule plan, that unU verslty will be dropped from the con ference, which. In this section of the country, means virtual banishment from athletics. Four of the five colleges, It seems from rumors picked up here and there, have formed a coalition against Washington, to be kept In effect sfter Washington has been dropped, provided such drastic means must be taken. . Washington Tears Sves Split. The whole matter resolves Itself Into this situation. Washington has aeen the handwriting on the wall In the matter of splitting football and other athletlo gatea on a 0 per cent basis. ashlne ton drawa the biggest chowds In ths northwest In Seattle and la against splitting the money an a fairer basis. notwithstanding the visiting team fur- nishes nair tne attraction.

Washington m! a vain endeavor to pave ths whole ma jority, vote matter reerred, to the far Ultlea of ths various colleges but thta was defeated by one of tha Oregon col leges, supported by a majority of -tne others. It was desired tn have the mat tor settled then and there. In view of Washington's persistence In holding out and refusing .o sign It wss agreed among the five colleges th-.t nothing would be done toward enforcing the rule until after the athletic year had paaaed. Thla action was taken In view of the fact that there was no desire to Impose on Wsshlngton's athletlo arrangement for the year. , , ,-, Will Xemaia Steadfast , ! When the meeting adjourned the Stal warts pledged themselves to remain steadfast for majority rule until the an nual meeting next December.
