That the regulation against aggressive use of hands by the de- fense will remove the “good little man” from the game, depriving him of the chance to offset opposing becf and brawn. 2. That elimination of the flying tackle and rolling block extracts still more from the defense. And 3. That the “dead ball” rule will now prevent many a touchdown from being scored by a player “in there fighting” for every inch he can get or who may recover to cross the goal line after being bounced off his feet. All of these contentions may be true but they ignore the one salient cbjective of all the latest alter- BERG HATS A QUALITY HAT for $5.00 H. S.

K. Hall and Bill Langford, have struck at the real sources of increasing physical danger. In so doing they have con- | | sidered all the evidence and all the angles so thoroughly that there can be nothing but the most enthusi- astic approval, regardless of how many coaches toes are stepped cn. So long as coaches have been 1Le:lch:m; immature boys to go out and “do or die”; to take chances, even to the point of rule-breaking; to absorb punishment with Spartan determination—hazards have been increased. Granting that the vast majority of coaches assume proper responsibility in handling their charges, nevertheless the opportu- nities have existed and been seized by which to take undue chances. ‘The new rules make it unprofit- able as well as physically unde- sirable to teach aggressive use of hands or to develop the knack of |nurtling young bodies through the air at moving objects. Penalties as well as common sense will check these methods. Plenty of Sport Ieft None but the demagogues of foot- ball will be much concerned as to “‘excessive whistle-blowing” or “the; loss of any spectacular elements.” The game will be none the less attractive and exciting to watch | from being surrounded by greater safeguards for the participants. The players themselves, no matter how their enthusiasm may mount in the heat of battle, certainly will hail the mew rules with satisfac- tion. Tts bruising contacts and} risks still will be quite sufficient, under any set of rules, to gratify the most red-blooded competitor or cock-eyed spectator. Of course, it is a fact that some safeguards which must be thrown up for the great mass of football players—nearly a million of whom figure in organized ccmpetition— may not be needed in the most highly specialized college ranks, where time and talent permit ex- tended tutoring in the finer points of blocking, tackling, ete.

The new car (attracts general attention whenever it comes out on the streets, The body of the automobile, in two delicate and harmonious shades of light tan, is long, graceful and symmetrical, Without sacrifice of road clearance or interior head- |room, the heighth from the street is only 5 feet, 6 inches. Form fit~ ting fenders and extra long stream- like running boards add greatly to the attractivensss of the car. Side-Bar Bumpers Besides the front and rear bump- ers of polished steel of artistic de- sign, there are side-bar bumpers, a praiseworthy novzlty that at once commands notice. The four-dcor type is adhered to all glass is of non-shatterable char- acter and there is ample capacity for five persons. The front seat is adjustable. Upholstery is thick and luxurious. “Easy to reach—easy to read” is the motto of the driver’s instru- ment board. Change can be effect- ed from free-wheeling to conven- tionial control without the least difficulty. Engine Is Last Word ‘The eight-cylinder engine is the last word in mechanical excellence. Notwithstanding the various im- provements and emb ellishments, Hupmobile prices this year show no advances over prices of last year. Mr. Carlson will use the new sedan as a demonstration car and also will employ it in his taxi service. CIVIL WAR VETERAN WALKS 6 MILES “TO KEEP IN TRIM” STARR, 8.

He's a farmer and says ne intends to go “right on farming. {It’s staying out in the open that ’keeps me in good health and makes for long life.” He often walks six miles “just to keep in trim” and when he round- ed out his 92nd year the other day, he walked just a little further WE'RE SO PROUD OF THIS NEW IRONER WE WANT YOU TO TRY iT DAYS FREE BIG POINTS 1lIronseverything. 2 Nothing to lift. 3 Three timesas easy. 4Half the time. 5 Twicethe pressure. 6 Smoother, crisper- finish. 7 Won't break buttons. 8 Automatic heat control. 9 Presses clothes too. 10 Guaranteed by General Electric.
