FOOTBALL RULES

TO BE

Only Minor Alterations Expected at Meeting of College Officials

New York, Dec. 27. Sentiment among delegates to the National Collegiate Athletic association, which will hold its first meeting tomorrow favor the retenton of the present football rules, with a few minor' changes. Those in totich with the football situation are certain that whatever alterations are made for next season will not be radical. Another trial in 1913 is fayored by nearly every one connected with the association. The committee to investigate the features of last faft's rules probably will be appointed tomorrow, but will not go Into formal session until some time in February. One rule in .regard to the forward pass will receive the most attention, and probably will be changed so as to be more early Interpreted. In several he believed the White Sox would finish in third place. STABLE BOY TAKES HIS OWN LIFE New York. Dec. 27. Frank Fissler, once stable boy to Sysonby, the great race horse, is dead. He killed himself in his little hall room yesterday morning by cutting his throat. On the wall above the spot where his body was found was a picture of the racer. On a table nearby lay a bit of doggerel the last thing Fissler wrote bemoaning Sysonby's .death: "No wonder then that full grown men Like owner and trainer and I, Turned with eyes to the wall And stood in the stall And saw the great Sysonby die." This was the last verse. There were five others extolling the racer's virtues and setting forth the adoration in which the one time stable boy held him. There were no letters to explain the suicide. The verses were addressed to James R. Keene, Sysonby's owner. CALENDAR OK SPORTS FOR THB WEEK. FRIDAY. Annual meeting of the National Collegiate Athletic association at New York.

ED games last year, principally the Notre Dame-Wabash game, when a runner with the ball attempted to i make a long run or a forward pass, and was forced back twenty or thirt yyards he simply tossed the oval forward a few yards, allowing It to strike the ground. Play Called Forward Pan. Under the rules it was a forward pass, and as the ball struck the ground before being received by a player, the play was Incompleted. The team performing the trick lost oily one down, and the ball was taken back to the spot of the preceding down. It is believed the change will require the ball' be shot across the line of scrimmage, or else the team will suffer a much heavier loss. This change also will protect' the defensive team In case the offensive eleven thows the ball out of bounds on" a forward pass. LANGFORD KNOCKS OUT TO III 1311! .Sydney, X. S. W., Dec. 27. In the fiercest battle seen here in many years Sam Langford, the Boston "Tar Baby," this afternoon knocked out Sam McVea, his negro rival in seeking the world's championship. After he had been declared the winner Langford announced that he would challenge for the heavyweight championship. The end of the battle came in the thirteenth round, after Langford had given McVea a terrific beating.. The two negroes appeared evenly matched for the first five rounds, but after that Langford showed better condition and easily landed the knockout punch in the thirteenth. Sam Langford and Sam McVea, . together with Joe'" Jeannette. another American negr,have been considered the logical cafifWates for the title left vacant by one Johnson, but owing to the "color line" drawn by the American promoters it is not likely any of them will participate In a champonshp battle in America. ' Yesterday's bout In Sydney marked the sixth time Langford and McVea have met. and it was the first time either won by a knockout. :VMD TO TACKLE SOLDIER STAR TONIGHT New York, Dec. 27. When Jess Wil lard, the biggest heavyweight in the ring at the present time, stopped Sailor White in less than a round in J Buffalo recently, rfe used a short left hook to the Jaw, keeping his left el- j bow close to his ribs when delivering! the blow. Bob Fltzsimmona, who used i o knockZout his victims with Jolts and hooks that did not travel more than three or four inches, showed YVillard how to hit , and the big Texan proved a good pupil. Instead of boxing with a wide-open guard and swinging his hands with arms extended well away from his body, Willard now employs the FItzsimmons tactics. He waits for the other fellow to get to close quarters and then rips up either hand with all the strength at his command. It is because of. his improved right that Willard is confident of putting Soldier Kearns away in a ten-round bout in Madison Suare Garden tonight. He will try to land his hook on the soldier's Jaw; Willard stood the aggressive Luther McCarty off last summer, and since then McCarty has easily whipped Jim Barry, Al. Kaufman and Fireman Jim Flynn. Willard is naturally clever. He knows more about ring science than the average heavyweight, and he relishes meeting a man who will come to him and slug. Reams' terrific wallops have no terrors for Willard, who says he will either avoid or block them until he finds an opening for his own heavy artillery. PHILLIPS ELEVEN HOW AT PORTLAND Portland, Ore., Dec. 27. Members of the Wendell Phillips High school football team, accompanied by Faculty Representative Hugh L. Ray and Coach Moulton, arrived here at noon. After a light meal the players went to the scene of Saturdays contest with the local high school team for an hour's practice. Although three members of the crew, Cummlngs, Koehler, and Alberts, ' shew the effects of the contest with Boise, they are expected to be in the lineup. Moulton said the Injuries were only bruises and would heal by Saturday. Every member of the squad was out

in uniform and went through a spirited practive. 'Despite the defeat suffered at the hands of a much heavier eleven, Wendell Phillips Is confident of .carrying off the honors In the next two games, one here with Portland and the other at Astoria on New Tear's day. Altitude Affeeta Players. . Wendell Phillips attributes its defeat principally to two things. One was the high altitude of the Idaho city, a condition which will not be met here. The other was the disbarment of several of its trick plays which, according to Coach Moulton, . were used with suc

cess against Chicago high school teams. Before the Boise game Coach Moulton consulted with the officials on several trick formations and forward pass plays, but the officials refused to permit them, claiming they were illegal.
