Ji It was decided not to change tho
fundamental principles of tho playing
code for 1910.
I Many rules wcro Interpreted In
clearer language to nld tho officials
next fall
J S Percy Haughton's forward pass
rulings wero ruined by an avalanche

nate a try for goal after a touchdown,
If the ecoro was made by recovering a
fumble, was llled and thomumberlng
bf players was not discussed.

J Few of tho delegates pass oft
Into slumber before tho meeting ad
journed at midnight.
5 Tljo regular work will bo done
today and perhaps tho nowspaper men
will j allowed to sharo tho secrets.
Just why they made tho session a
closed-shop affair has not yet been deter
mined. Perhaps a German spy was on
the Job to get Bomo stuff to pull In tho
battle of Verdun and it was thought best
to save tho Allies from further humilia
tion. "Nothing1 Doing
E.K. Hall, of Dartmouth, who had been
re-elected chairman, talked to tho news-
japer men before tho meeting ended and

"You can safely say that no radical
changes will bo made," ho continued, "and

Pennsylvania will play Its final home
gamo of tho Intercolleglato Daskctball
l.eaguo season In Wclghtman Hall tonight
against Yale. Tho Illuo will furnish con
siderable opposition, but tho Penn players
do not feel dubious about tho outcomo of
tho game. It is necessary for Pennsyl
vania to win tho contest to keep in the
championship fight, for Dartmouth play3
at Princeton tonight and tho Tigers should
register an easy victory
Yalo hnsn't the samo formidable aggre
gation ns last year. When Dartmouth
beat tho Dluo at New Haven, Coach Stowo
uliook up tho team, and slnco then ho has
been using players who will bo In college
noxt year. Hush and Horton, the new
forwards trotted out by Stovve, give tho
Yalo team a lot of snap and dash, and
they should bo ablo to team well together
next winter.
Tho Yalo players feel tho downfall of
tho team very keenly, but Just to Bhow
that they mean business they are going
to re-elect Charley Taft captain of tho
five and then go out for tho 1917 title.
That Is planning a long way ahead. Gar
field has been kept out of tho recent games
because of an operation, but Is expected
to play tonight.
Pennsylvania will mako no changes In
Its llnc-up. Caoch Jourdet Is well satis
fied with his team and not only will ho
try to glvo Y'alo a drubbing, hut ho will go
to Ithaca with tho full Intention of down
ing tho Cornell five. If Penn does that,
Prlncoton will havo to do tho samo to
keep in tho running.

ABLE TO FIGHT
MORAN AT ONCE,
SAYS J. WILLARD
Champion Starts Training
Today for March 25 Bat
tle in New York
2G0 IS HIS AVOIRDUPOIS
NRW YOniC, Feb. 2C Jess Wlllaid,
world's heavyweight champion, began
heavy training, at tho Pioneer Sporting
Club. 44th street, today, for his 10-round
tlllo bout with Frank Moran In Madison
Squaro Oarden, tho night of Saturday,
Mnrch 2D.
"I could fight Jn n pinch tomorrow,"
Wlllard dedal ed. "I am not a great deal
heavier than when I took tho tltlo from
Johnson tn Havana. I weigh only 2G0
pounds, just 1.1 pounds moro than when
I took tho tltlo. I llguro on weighing
around 24G pounds for Moran That
means a reduction of 15 pounds at most
I havo 30 days In which to train down to
that scalo It will bo a cinch."
Wlllard appeared In excellent spirits,
though a tiaco of hoarseness remains
from his rccunt cold. Several times his
temarks wcro punctuated by Blight coughs
"1 was never so sick as tho Chicago
reporters intimated," said Jess. "I figured
tho best way to cure a cold was to ro
maln Indoors, Because I wasn't knock
ing about town tho vvrltcts jumped to
tho conclusion that I was flat on my
back. Personally 1 would just as soon
havo gone ahead with tho March 8 date.
I knew I wasn't very HI and that unless
I became, much worso I would be ablo
to get to tho lnzor rdgo of condition by
that time. Yet I felt that I owed tho
public every consideration. I wasn't ab
solutely suro that 1 would recover so
quickly. It was on tho public's and not
my own account that 1 agreed to tho
postponement."
