Wilde and Wallace Never Were Signed
liosUm. Feb. 17. A proposal to
change the lilies' of football, so that the
length of a game will be regulated by
the number of plays instead of by time,
' will be considered at the next meeting
of the football rules committee. The
i plan, advanced by Harry IS. Coffin, u
I Harvard graduate, is said to have the
indorsement of Walter camp, t'ercy u
SOME time ago we read with interest that Jimmy Wilde and Patsy Wallace
would meet at the Olympia in a special show on February 25. Now we un
Herstnnd the match is off because the papers never were signed. The Olympia
management tried to get Wilde to appear here and offeied the Englishman ?o000 ', Haughton and other-, prominent iu the
for six rounds. This offer, it is said, was turned down wun rnucn scorn because 'sport.
the amount was too small to be considered. Evidently Jlr. Wilde places a high
value on his services, but if he turns down the five "'grand"' for six rounds, it's
a-cinch he will not perform before a local audience for some time to come.
However. Jimmy will be een in action in Jersey City next Thursday uight
when he mingles with Mickey Uussell. Scotty Montieth's battling bantum. They
wty over in New York that Mickey will be a set-up for the classy Briton, but
there might be a big surprise. Uuell is a slam-bang, hard-hitting, two-handed
tighter who keens after his man from the start and never lets up. Ho will give
Wilde u hard battle and make the Englishman extend himself. It should be a
fast and furious misup and. if Jimmy possesses.-the wallop they say hn has. he
will have a chance to prove it.
The objective U to overcome the wide
variation in the number ot plays in
contests directed by different officials
and to prevent a team which is lending
from delaying in order to consume time.
Mr. Coffin advocates a 40 -piny period,
with tries for gonl ufter touchdown, and
penalties for fouls not oiintcd as plays.
To show the need for a change he
'ites the fact that in Harvard-Yale

Pete Herman, boss of the bamtams. is iu town, looking for trouble. Peter
has returned from the South, where he scored a couple of knockouts and messed
up a few other youngsters who had designs on the crown. Pete is open for en
gagements nnd "says he would consider a match with Johnny Kilbane at the
featherweight limit. That would be u grand and gloriousscrup if it ever were
staged. Herman probably lias designs ou the featherweight ciowu. but you

the variation wa l."7 to 175.
A summary of the games directed by
two leading referees is advanced by Mr.

"When experienced referees in a

White, who tossed fouls for La Salle,
succeeded in dropping in 11 out of 23
chances which isn't so very good, al- I
though he had a better average than that

White's thirteen points in last night's
contest enabled him to crawl up from
fourth place in the individual scoring
to that of the runner-up position, with
only half a dozen tallies separating him
from Joe (iallcu, the leader who has CO

Tho Two Rulers
Though others have their virtues (intl
others have their pride:
Though others have their art and such
that cannot be denied,
When it gets down to sport alone, two
leaders pack the slam,
And one of them is Johnny Bull antZ
one is Uncle Sam.
Though others know a trick or two along
the open way;
Though others have a certain knack at
other things than play;
When it gets down to sport alone, two
leaders have the pull,
And one of them is Uncle Sum and one
is Johnny Hull.
AE. B. Golf handicaps in many
clubs are determined by the com
parative rating of the player against the
club's scratch entry or against par. In
medal play the full handicap is allowed,
In match play only three-fourths of the
handicap is permitted. The scratch
player would give the twelve-handicap
man nine strokes.
Tho Xew Slogan
Whcie all who took a running start at
least were glad to try.
'Just keep your eye upon the ball," was
once the nation's cry,
But with the new sixhour day that
knows no steamy brow,
"Just keep your eye upon the clock"
is labor's slogan note.
