Gridiron Game Will Be Run Under
Strict Regulations For
Five Years
Special to The Telegraph
New York, April 21.—8y unanimous
vote of the university council, football
■was restored to Columbia yesterday.
The sport, by the resolutions adopted,
will be placed on a five-year basis.
Many restrictions have been thrown
around the resumption of the sport
and it will be necessary for the under
graduates and alumni to live up to the
•spirit of these regulations if the game
is to stay.
The Columbia men agree that they
will not raise any objections to the
regulations within the five-year period.
It is anticipated that the students will
be too glad to receive half a loaf
rather than none to again antagonize
tho authorities with any objections to
their plans under which the game is
restored.
This action on the part of the coun
cil cornea after a carefully planned
movement which had for its foun
dation the convincing of tho authori
ties of the sincerity of the undergrad
uates in their petitions for the rein
statement of the, Ksime and their will
ineness to support it.
Work will start immediately in the
arranging of a schedule for the Blue
find "White team next fall.

mous as the discoverer of J. Franklin [
Baker, attempted suicide here yester-1

zel is at the St. Joseph Hospital. It is j

Weitzel never took linanclal losses very
seriously.

switched the Trappe, Md„ farmer from j
the outfield to that position. He tip-'
ped Connie Mack of the possibilities ;
of Baker as a major leaguer, with the!
result that he was sinned and subse- |
quently developed into the greatest
player in his position in the game.
I Weitzel lias a host of friends in
Harrisburg. He was a friend of young I
players and was a good judge of base- '
ball material.—Spoiling Editor.]

Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, April 21.—The stork
has played a freak trick in the house
hold of Michael Kline, who lives at
Seventy-fourth street and Glenmore
avenue.
Five years ago the Klines were
presented with a little girl who
weighed only one and a half pounds
at birth. This week the stork again
visited the Kline family. This time
it left a bouncing baby boy, who,
when placed upon the scales, tipped
the beam at a few ounces over
twenty-three pounds. The new baby
weighs nearly as much as some 5-
year-old children.
Margaret Kline, the tiny girl, holds
the record as the lilliputian of Pas
chalville. She took a prize at the
Darby Businessmen's Carnival, two
years ago. Despite her size, she has
thrived, and is a robust child.
The Klines now say they have the
smallest girl and the fattest boy in
