This rule was lolated In nearly every
jameplased last enr, clmmplonshlp con
tests Included Oftentimes tho quarter
back would crouch behind the centre, hold
out his hands, but tho ball was passed
to one of tho backfleld men Instead. The
rule probably will bo changed to read.
"One man will bo allowed to encroach on
the one- aril zono before tho ball Is put
Into play."

Is up again, and perhaps tho moguls will

Pittsburgh sprnng something new on the
public, when oxery man on tho football
team woro a number on his back. Sonn
other teams tried It, and the plan was
voted a hugo success The spectators
found tho gnmes more Interesting, and
the cheer leaders found no dilllctilty In
yelllint for tho proper persons A strong
effort will be made tonight tn put Pitt's
original Idea Into the rule books.
Hob Folwell will represent Penn nt tho
meeting Polwell wns selected by the Ath
letic Committee, nnd It afterward devel
oped that Dr. Carl Williams had been
selected previously by tho fnculty board
Tho matter was straightened out. however,
nnd the new coach wns given his cre
dentials. Folwell Is Cautious
"I want to have something to say when
tho rules nro being tampered with," said
Folwell. "Something Is likely to happen
at tho meeting, and ones not close to affnlrs
nt the University might overlook It. This
Isn't discredit to Doctor Williams, but 1
um preparing some plnjs for next fnll,
and adverse rulings would render them
useless
"While T was at I.afaycttc I perfected
a Hjstcm of forward pastes which defeated
Princeton, Penn, Lehigh nnd other elevens
It looked good and 1 had many Improve
ments to spiing tho following fnll Tho
20-yard zone then wns In effect, nnd I
needed that zono to make tho plays work
However, at tho meeting of tho rules com
mittee someone got up nnd moved that tho
20-yard zono bo eliminated, and all of
my work went for nnught I don't want
tho same thing to happen this year."

Washington and Leo made a gieat lec
ord on tho football Held last year, and

only man lost fiom tho 1913 championship

game with tho University of Virginia next
fall. Tho two colleges severed football
relations soveral years ngo, and nlumnl

12 J. Ileilet. cjialrman of the Philadel
phia Army und Navy Committee, received
today from Annapolis a telegram which
made It ceitaln that the, efforts of the
Philadelphia committee to bring the game
hero had failed The dispatch, signed by
Lieutenant C. 12. Smith, U. S. N., was
as follows:
West Toint nnd Annapolis have
agteed to play the 1010 football game
In New York
Lieutenant Smith Is secretary-treasurer
of the Navy Athletic Association at An
napolis. In discussing the loss ot the
game to this city, Mr. Ilerlet said:
"Our commltteo did everything within
its power to retain the game for l'hlladel
phla as per tho agreement entered Into by
the Army nnd Navy Athletic Association
officials in 1014. On February 16 we
wired an offer of $10,000 to the Army and
Navy Athletic Associations, If this year'tj
gamo was staged In Philadelphia. Wo re
peated this offer by wire on February 23
to the Army and Navy conference held at
the Hotel Dlltmore, In New York city, and
this morning we wired Lieutenant Smith
to find it consideration would be given to
the use of Shtbe Park, and his telegram
was the result.
"The Philadelphia committee feels that
It did everything within Its power to retain
the game, and regrets that the agreement
entered Into by the Army and Navy of
ficials two years ago was not adhered to."

Champion Feels "Fit" and
Starts Training for
Big Fight
BIG ADVANCE SEAT SALE
NEW YOltIC. Feb. 25. Iludtly of check
and showing no signs of his recent "ni
nes')." Jesi Willard arrived In Now York
today from Chicago to train for his com
ing bout with Frank Moraii. The heavy
weight champion said that ho was feeling
good nnd would get down to training at
onco.
Willard was tho hero of n gathering at
the Otand Central Station Tho crowd fol
lowed him to his ta.ilcab, negro porters
staring open-eyed nt tho white giant who
had walloped Jack Johnson Into uncon
sciousness at Havana. The fighter was
nccompnnlcd by his manager. Tom Jones,
and several other members of his retinue.
Tho party wits met by Tex Blckard,
promoter of tho match with Moran, who
was tho happiest man at tho station Ho
said that Willard appeared "very fit,"
and that all doubt of the match taking
place had been removed.
From tho station Willard and his party
drove to tho Hotel Walllck, nnd then to
tho Pioneer Athletic Club, where the
champion will have his training quarters
After Willard arrived. It was announced
that tho advance salo of seats for the
fight already amounts to $78,000.
"I'm In fine shapo right now," de
clared Willard. "1 weigh 257 pounds,
not 280 or 300, ns some of the reports
have It The general Impression Is that
my year of Idleness from ring work has
fattened me. Well, It hasn't. I've kept In
shape right along.
"I can carry 257 pounds very easily
nnd It may be that I will go Into the ring
ngalnst Moran weighing only a trine un
der thnt mark."
Willard planned to begin training lato
In the nftcrnoon, but It was likely thnt
this program will bo changed, owing to
the fnct that Jack Homple and Walter
Monohan, his sparring partners, didn't
arrive until late In the day."

An Invitation:
We want you to take a very remarkable ride. It will
be quite as remarkable, quite as delightful as if we drove
you up the broad, sparkling Delaware in a hydroplane.
We want you to ride in a DIFFERENT sort of car a NEW
sort of car the NEW MITCHELL. We want you to FEEL
the very marked difference.
Have you ever ridden behind a 300 horsepower engine?
Ever experienced the feel of the irresistible power that makes
the car seem like a featherweight? Can you imagine the lightest
touch bringing this- power down to a drowsy, dreamy gentleness
of motion, soft as sunshine and almost as slight a pressure send
ing it up to the soaring speed of a projectile?
The feel of the power in the NEW MITCHELL is Just
one of the reasons why it is something NEW. The NEW
MITCHELL rides restfully. There is an ease about it which
is a distinct bodily benefit.
You can hardly credit it from a letter or from a salesman's
description, because it just has not existed in cars before. That
is why we want you to RIDE in the NEW MITCHELL and
FEEL it for yourself. It will rest you; delight you; show you
something NEW something quite as much worth while your
doing as seeing the play of the year; reading the book of the year;
hearing the Opera of the year.
We do not feel that a ride obligates you to buy. We shall be
amply repaid by your knowledge of the NEW thing in motor
cars the NEW MITCHELL. We are very proud of it and we
have found out that it will PAY us to have nice people know
about it.
If you can bring friends, so tpuch the better. We promise
you a very delightful experience and a NEW one. Won't you
just telephone in and tell us when and where we can meet you
with the car?

nnd proceeded to exploit them.
Vollmer has had coaching, of course, but
thoso who supervised Ills work wero per
mitted to correct only tho faults of execu
