ROSEWOOD TOSSERS TRIM STEELTON ALL-SCHOLASTICS-DISCUSS FOOTBALL RULES FOOTBALL MEN TALK OVER RULES Eastern Coaches and Managers Oppose New Plans For Periods Philadelphia, Dec. 20. Coaches and officials connected with the gridiron game in Eastern Pennsylvania, also one from Delaware and another from Maryland, assembled to the number of about thirty at the Walton last even ing to discuss the football rules and make suggestions for chances to be submitted to the rules committee nt its annual meeting. The session con sumed nearly three hours and went on record as decisively opposed to the Harvard proposition to eliminate the stop-watch from the gridiron by Ji viding a legal game into four periods of DO plays each. Also the session recommended that the home team supply a standard stop watch, and passed a motion recom mending a rule that would keep hid den from the coaches of the two con tending teams until the start of the play the identity of the officials select ed by the central board to serve in that particular game. This latter motion was pushed through by Bob Folwell. the Penn coach; Wilmer Crowell, Swarthmore, the Lafayette coach, and Dr. Price, of L'rsinus, the Muhlenberg coach. Another I'iixxlliik Question Pol well brought up another puzzling point of great practical iufport, since it applies to the formations used most ef fectively this season by the Oregon eleven, the one he must meet at the Koso Carnival at Pasadena, New Year's day. He claims his scouts on the West ern edge of the continent report that the Oregonian tackles carry the Jiall after lining up three yards behind the line of scrimmage. The rules specify that a lineman must be live yards Be hind the line wheji the ball is snapped in order to carry it legally. The Oregonlans get away with it be cause they swing their plays off in rapid succession at the start of play, before the tackle has ever taken his place in the Vine. The coaches and officials pondered over the thing at length, finally advising Polwell to tell his captain to take "time-out," right after the first play, and call the ref eree's attention to the way the men were lined up, so that if a halfback were In a lnenian's place nt the start of the play lie would be officially a line man thereafter and subject to the rules governing his carrying the ball. 'The meeting expressed itself in favor of a change in rules to make it legal for a player breaking into the game to report to any official and for the ref eree to be extremely careful in plac ing the ball after a hard scrimmage close to the goal line. Folwell brought vip this latter point, pointing out that two touchdowns against Penn this sea son wou_ld not have been scored had the referee placed the ball properly. In the Michigan game, he said, the head lineman tried to correct the referee's mistake, but was waved aside. Pol well argued that the head lineman was in a better position to see whether the ball had crossed the goal than *vas the referee. Crowell brought up the protest against the present system whereby the coaches have a hand In the selection of officials, declaring no rea son for a coach knowing *tlje identity of the officials before the game. He found an able ally in Dr. Price, and the meeting was won over to a passing a motion to suggest a change to the rules committee. Crowell also .argued in favor of a rule to wipe out "clipping" a man from behind. Dielf Mefritt,' IJie Penn Charter coach, backed hftn "up strongly, but no action was taken. , I.UHUiH ST A IIS SCHWAB UI'ESTS Bethlehem, Pa., Dee. 20. ~ Twenty three members of the 1916 football eleven who won their "L" and who par. ticipated in the game that resulted in a victory over Lafayette were ban queted last evening at the Lehigh Country Club.

CRAGO DEFENDS | NATIONAL GUARD Declares Border Training Has Justified Friends of System Washington, Dec. 22.—An able de j fense of the National Guard is made by Representative Thomas S. Crago, |of Pennsylvania, hi an authorized ! statement. Mr. Crago, as an officer of i the Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers, | saw active service in the Philippines ! during tlie Spanish-American War. | Calling attention to the annual rc- I port of the chief of staff of the army, '■which alleged the failure of the vol | uafter military system, Colonel Cra- I'go denies that this criticism should be attached to the National Guard by ■I reason of its record on the Mexican , borde,r. • On the contrary, he declares ; that "the training had on the border ' has in a great measure justified the i hopes that the friends of the Guard i expressed for it. Colonel Crago's statement says: [ "The chief of staff of the army has called attention to the failure of the j volunteer military . system. This < criticism is immediately, of course, at tached, by persons antagonistic to it. >to the part the National Guard has i taken in the recent mobilization, but it is not fair to these National Guard j organizations to blame any of the defi ciencies which have been shown to | exist in our system on the National Guard as an organization. In the first ! place the friends of the National | Guard never contended that this was 1 the ideal military system. What thSy did contend for, however, was: Guard Given Its Chance "First, that the National Guard was the only body of troops in existence, other than the regular army, which could be relied upon to give instant response in the case of any emerg ency. "Second, that since the National Guard has never had a chance to show what it could do when properly arm eel', equipped and supported by the Federal Government, it was only fair in considering any great extension of our military system to give the Na tional Guard the first chance to show what could be accomplished by it. "Unfortunately the call was made before the Guard had been reorgan ized under the provisions of the new military act, and they could not be expected to show much improvement over former conditions. The weak ness which has been shown has not been the fault of tho Guard, but of the Federal Government In its failure to properly arm and equip the men who so promptly responded. "In all of the eastern and many of the western States the Guard was mobilized promptly with the number of men which they had been allowed to carry on their rolls. These men were equipped, hut when, without any warning, each organization was asked to increase its number to war strength it naturally followed that the Guard had no means of equipping these new BUSY DAYS FOR C.H.S.

This duty was for the Federal Government to perform. I "The War Department as at pres | ent organized is utterly incapable of j handling such large bodies of men i and properly equipping them for j service. ! "That more men did not respond is j because the country at large has not i eulized and did not believe that uny great emergency existed. It seemed ! loolisli to the public to cull such a I large body of men into the service if I it was merely for training purposes; jand to imagine that the National ] Guard consists of men who can af ,lord to immediately leave their civil pursuits and undertake five or six months of training is a mistake, and is expecting more of these men than should be required. "Most people who have given this matter of preparedness serious con sideration will agree with General Scott, that the only democratic plan tor oar people to follow is universal military training. If our people would adopt some form of universal military service it | would be necessary for some such 'Organization as the National Guard to | be maintained in order that the train -1 mg and service could be performed in I such organizations. It is just as un ; fair to criticize the splendid men | *ind organizations who have answered [the call of the President during tl.is | year, and expect them to have attain ed perfection, as it would be to have i expected our navy to have advanced I by leaps and bounds in its strength I and efficiency merely because the pres j ent Congress authorized great in ; creases in the navy and made ap | propriations to meet these increases I "The siWden call before the Guard ; had any chance to benefit by the pro i visions of this act, to undergo this ; ong period of training undoubtedly has been a great blow to future en | listments in tl.e Guard. However 1 this call has given us a great body of 'trained men who will sooner or later find themselves building up additional i organizations. "Speaking from the experience in [ Pennsylvania, it must be remembered Ithat these troops responded prompt : ly. In four days' time, after reach ing Mount Gretna, the first unit was j started for the border, having been j vaccinated and inoculated and fully equipped, and the last organization ! was able to leave Mount Gretna on | July !•, only fifteen days after they | had reached that place. In this mobilization of these or ganizations they were handicapped by the inability on the part of the Federal government to supply them with blankets and other necessary clothing and equipment. The muster ing officers were uncertain as to their | instructions, and in all of the States of the Union the desks of the adju tants general were piled with tele grams and orders from the different departments of the army contradic-j tory in nature making demands which were physically impossible of being complied with. "That more men did not respond to this call and immediately fill up these organizations to war strength is no fault bf the National Guard system That the War Department has seen proper to adopt a policy of refusing discharges to men on the border even though the conditions at home would have warranted a discharge during ac tual war will make It difficult in the future to secure men to fill these or ganizations. "This training, while it has been costly and has developed many weak spots, will not reflect any discredit on the National Guard, but has In a great measure Justified the hopes that the friends of the Guard expressed for it at the time federalization was being considered."

ALL HEART WOMEN MOSTLY BORES 2s*cw Matrimonial Fable by Dorothy Dix May Carry Lesson For You! Once upon a time a Glad-Eyed Youth went to a Hump-Shou!de"red Old Man who looked us if he had been Flattened out by a Steam Roller, and thus addressed him: "Congratulate me," cried the Young Man, "for 1 am noing to be Married to the Dearest Girl in the World, and she is Perfectly Devoted to me." 'Alas, my son," cried the old Man with Tears in his Eyes, "1 can only Pity you. Many Misfortunes may i Happen to a Man, but the Worst thing that can Befall him is to Marry a Woman who is Too Much in love with him. Listen to the sad story of my Life, and let it be a Warning to you, so that you may Save yourself from a Fate like mine while there is yet Time. "I was once young and joyous like you, and 1 swelled out my Chest so that my Shirt Buttons would not hold, because I had found a Woman who Loved me Well Enough to Die for me, little reckoning In my Folly that that same Love would make me Wish that I were Dead. "We were Married, and from that Day to this 1 have not been able to call my Soul my won, because my Wife thinks that her Love gives hei a Mortgage on it. "I do not Dare to stay downtown a Few Minutes late talking with a Friend, because if I do not Punch the Domestic Time Clock on the Minute 1 find my Wife walking the floor and tearing her Hair because she is Mad with Anxiety for Fear Something Awful has happened to her Precious Hubby. "I cannot Eat any of the Paprika Foods that I like and to which I was Accustomed in my Happy Un loved Bachelor Days, because my Wife Adores me so she will not let me run the Risk of Injuring my Digestion. "I am compelled to Choose mv Female Employes from the Lemon Box, although I would greatly En joy being Surrounded by the Pick of the Peach Basket, but my Wife's Love makes her so Jealous that she would have Fits all over the Place if she Discovered a Woman in the Office under Forty and without Cross Eyes. "I am no Lothario, but I like the Society of Pretty and Charming Women, but every time I even look Interested in my Dinner Partner's Re marks I have to stand for a Scene when I get Home. "It i 3 my Wife's Boast that we have Never been Parted for a Single Day since wo were Married. Ah, my Boy, do you get the Pathos of that Remark? Think of never having iiad a Single Day off in Ten Years, and of the Gloomy Prospect of a Whole Life Sentence like that with no Al lowance off tor good Behavior! "When I go on a Business Trip I have to Drag Wife along, because She Weeps and Wails that she cannot Bear to bo Parted from me for even a Few Days. When I take a Vaca tion she Tags along, and Ruins it all. because I have to do what she wants to .do instead of the things I should like to do. "I cannot make her Understand that without wishing to knock her Personally, a Man gets Fed up on Feminine ChUtter and Longs for Man's Talk. Why, I know right now more about what they are going to Wear in Paris this Winter than I do about the Big League Prospects. "I used to Wonder, before I was Married, why Men took so little Trouble to Preserve their Wives' Af fection-. I now Perceive that it was the Instinct for Self Preservation, for there is no Juil in which you can be held a Closer Prisoner than in a Woman's Heart, nor is there any other such Grinding Tyrant as the Wife who loves taQ- much. "It is a Misfortune that a Man gets over being a Lover at the Altar while a Woman can go on being a Bride for Forty Years. Therefore unless you wish to be Bogged up in Soft Talk that it nauseates you to have to hand out, do not Marry a Woman who is All Henrt, and who gets a Hurt look every time you Slow Down to Second Speed in your Love Making. "Take it from me that a Woman can kill you with Love, and It Is a Sticky, Messy, Unpleasant Way to Die." rids fable teaches that tho Wo men who are All Heart arc Mostly Bores. More Pay For 16,000 U.
