Dec. 2. Tommy Burns of America knocked out Gunner Moir of England in the tenth round before the National Sporting club here tonight. Englishmen never had great hopes of tho ability of their representative to f-egain their lost honors in the boxing rena, and in a somewhat exciting contest the American champion had a Comparatively easy task in disposing fcf Molr's pretensions and securing for himself the title of heavyweight champion of the world. After the fifth round Burns victory vas certain and in the tenth, when the gunner failed to rise to the call of time, and was literally cut to pieces. Burns left the ring with scarcely ai mark. Moir owes his right to participate in championship matches more to influence than to merit and his defeat therefore, was not a matter of general surprise. Burns proved himself superior in every detail. He displayed greater science and infinitely better generalship, and his blows were delivered with much more power than those of the Englishman. It was an easy victory for the American. The contest aroused a greater amount of excitement and enthusiasm than any decided at the National Sporting club since Slavin's defeat at the hands of Peter Jackson. Bums entered the ring the favorite at odds of 7 to 4, which would have been still longer but for the fact that the two titled backers of Moir covered Burns money for a large amount, on the chance of a big winning in addition to the stake money. Both in Perfect Shape. Except for the difference in weight and Moir's advantage of two inches in height, the men were evenly matched and. in perfect form. In the ring Burns' crouching attitude appeared to place him at a still greater disadvantage In height with Moir. who assumed a fairly erect pose with his arms extended widely, somewhat like a wrestler and showing no guard.

SAYS THE NEW RULES HAVE CUT DOWN LIST OF INJURED FIFTY PER CENT. AND MADE GAME MORE OPEN. New York, Dec. 3 Football is nearer perfection today than it has been since the sport was first introduced into American colleges in 1S7C." Bis Bill Edwaids, former guard for Princeton, later a famous coach, and one of the officials in the recent YaleHarvard game, made that statement in reply to a question as to whether the rules needed to undergo more changes before another season. "Of course, there might be a few beneficial changes on matters of minor importance which have no direct bearing on the game, but even they could be dispensed with. I find the public better pleased with the game today than I have ever known, and, as all players must realize, the public is a very important factor in football or any other sport that is national in character. Two Things of Importance. "The new rules have done two things of the greatest importance to football." continued Mr. Edwards. "First, they have cut down the list of iiiinriH tnnrp it rur cunt Si-w. ! ond, they have made the game so open that the public can better see the appreciate tne science of the spon. i "I see no chance for improvement. : just now, though some changes may be suggested in the rules committee later on. It is always best to leave well enough alone. Tho present rules should be allowed to stand anyway until the players have thoroughly mastered them." It was suggested to the football expert that many complaints had been made to the effect that the drop-kick was given too much value four point?. "At first that would seem true," ad n every

I am opposed to any change in that respect. I realize that a weak team has a big advantage if it has a drop-kicker who can send a ball through the posts and escape a shut-out. But. you must admit that the best team usually wins, and: that is the strongest argument in favor of tho rules as they stand. " It seems pretty hard sometimes for a strong team to work hard for a touch down and then have their opponents offset it by a lucky drop-kick when un able to gain ground on straight foot ball. But you must remember that it taiv.es long practice to make a good drop kicker and the team must have a well drilled defense to hold Ce line long enough for him to make the trial. We cut down the value of the drop kick from five points to four, and I think that was enough reduction. I do not believe a drop kick from the field should count as much as a touchdown, as was the case before we made the change. "The forward pass, in my opinion, was one of the greatest innovations we have ever had. It gives to the game a tinge oi uncertainty that makes j it much more spectacular. it is a great thing. It is pretty hard, though for an official to tell whether the ball crosses the line of scrimmage more than five yards from the point it was put in play. The forward pass, in this respect, has given the officials much trouble."
