TRYING TO MAKE GRID GAME OPEN Rules Committee Takes Steps To Increase Possibility Os Scoring New York, Feb. B—(INS) —The new football rales adopted this week by the intercollegiate football titles committee are intended to make the gnme open and safe, and to increase the possibility of scoring according to E. K. Hall, chairman of the committee. a The backward pass is being developed to put more action Into footImll." said Hall, speaking at the an mini Colgate alumni banquet hero last night. ‘‘We protected every past back of the line during last season, but that produced a tendency on the part nt the defensive lines not to charge when the ball went into play. We are now protecting only l>ack-of-line pitsses going more than two yards. Back passing will open up the play by spreading the defense, improving the possibilities of every running and plunging play.” Hall declared that the rule requiting a pause of one second after the IKissing of the ball apparentlp has done away with the illegal shift. The new rule allowing either side to recover a fumbled punt will offer the receiver; a premium for getitng the ball and trying to run it forward instead of playing safe and letting tlie bull go by, he asserted.

Buy For Cash The several advantages of cash buying have been so pronounced in the past few years, that new and enormous businesses have been built on this simple, fundamentally sound business principle. It is a“n unrefutable fact that the benefits of cash buying so over-shadow less sound business practice, that there is hardly a comparable basis of value due to the contrasting methods of doing business.

This reflects to the credit of the merchant who sells for cash. He is enabled to buy for cash in larger quantities, taking advantage of the best trade discounts and minimizing distribution costs, while giving greater value. The process repeats itself in the cash buying from the wholesaler to the manufacturer and ultimatelv to the producer, thus stabalizing the economic structure on which all ■ e is built.
