RULES FOR FOOTBALL

SUGGESTED

Cochems Would Do Away With Required Gain and Have Teams Alternate With Ball.

KAUPMANN & WOLF. HAMMOND. IND.

New York. Feb. 3. There will be no radical changes in the playing rules of' college football for 1912. That much was admitted by one and all of the solons who have the fate of the game in their hands. These assembled in annual, conference at the Holland House yesterday, the joint committees of the intercollegiate and football associations and took no pains to suppress such a report when the first day's session had adjourned. . , -, . A great many changes were urged. A number of them were exceptionally radical, especially those dealing with the freak plays, the forward pass and the onsldekick. But the radicals met with little encouragement. The great majority of the legislative

body believed that the game could be

Improved only on better balancing the offense and defense of the present style

of competition by ' strengthening the

latter.

Ed Cochems ot Wisconsin proposes the most radical changes ever advanced

for the" improvement of the great college sport. He advocates doing away with all distance limitations, each side to have alternately five chances at carrying the ball. After each fifth try the ball would go over to the opposing side. He believes this would prove conclusively the respective abilities of teams. The joint rules committee deliberated on three different sets of suggestions. The first included a gain .of eight yards in three downs Instead of ten, as at present; allowing the forward pass to

cross the goal line and to cut out the onside kick. The second suggestion was that the distance to be kept as at present except that within the 25-yard line the offensive team be required to make but five yards instead of ten yards on downs. This also suggested the elimination of the onside kick. The third proposition had as its aim the addition of one more down for the required gain of ten yards four downs in all and also to allow the forward pass to be made over the goal line.

Monday,

Chicago . Boy Expected to

Give Italian a Nice Beating. Los Angeles, Feb. 3. Just a few

words about the different styles of battle employed by Johnny Coulon and Frankie Conley, and we will let the little bantams rest until they are gorged to the center of the ring at 3:15 today. Coulon is a smart chap of the type usually referred to as "brainy." This statement may be accepted as a suggestion that the champion does not depend entirely upon his hands and feet to carry him through a tough ring trial. Coulon first makes a study of his opponent's points, both strong and weak, and maps out his plan of battle accordingly. He is a superb boxer, with every trick of the trade at his command. In addition to that he carries a punch that has to land but once to earn him the respect of the man in front of him. Add all these facts together and you will understand why the Chicagoan stands at the head of the 116-pound division.

Gary high school teams (boys and I girls) played Michigan City high last night at that place and were defeated in both Instances, the girls winding up with a score of 6 to 6 iri1 favor of Michigan City. The boys' game stopped at 22 to 21 In favor of Michigan City. But Gary went to Michigan City to play a fair game and to get a square deal in return. When they arrived at Michigan City they found that they were to have the ancient history teacher for a referee, who. from the way he

I conducted himself In the game, 'didn't know basketball from an old-fashioned j Roman parlor game of knuckle ball. jThe girls played their game first and although they were defeated, they gave Michigan City more than' a good run : for their , victory, which was only by

one point, the final score being 6-5. ' The boys were also beaten by only one point.. It was the boys" game that stirred the crowd to the highest pitch '.ot excitement. At the end of the first half Michigan City bested Gary by four points, but -lip until the last five minutes of the last half Gary had tied with

FRANK GOTCH RETIRES AFTER TUSSLE TONIGHT Frank Gotch has retired. Honestly he has. The Iowa Giant confessed that he was through with the -wrestling game as a business last night. If he sticks to bis statement there will be no match for the championship as a reward to the man who beats Mahmout Chicago is to get Its last view of the crusher of foreigners at the Illinois

Athletic club tonight, when the champion tackles Marvin Plestlna in the windup of the first show of the year at that club. Gotch stated last evening

, that he would not have undertaken this l one match had It not been that he ! promised Harry Molr his aervlees any 'time he wanted them. Mr. Moir.want- , ed them for this evening and the boas

wrestler made good. "It's this way." said Gotch laat night. "1 can't keep on wrestling forever. I

: don't like to train and never will ro ; through another siege such as I used ; to prepare myself for Hackensehmtdt. I have all the money I need so why

should I wrestle Again 7" "But you have retired before," Gotch was reminded. "Are you really .quitting this time?" "I never would have come out of retirement had I not wanted to have the pleasure oj.pinning Hackenschmldt to the mat," answered th champion. "My first victory over the Russian Lamb was not satisfactory. He quit without giving me a chance to throw htm. I always wanted to prove to the world that did not have to win on a decision. I wanted to prove that I could beat him decisively, and having done so, Tm through."
