FOOTBALL RULES TO BE REVIEWED r— New York, Feb. 5.—The yearly meeting of the committee on inter- collegiate football will be held at the Hotel Biltmore today and to morrow. Chairman Hall belleves that the sessions will be short and that little tinkering will be done with the rules.

At the meeting of the National Col legiate Athletic Aseociation in Chi-. , the seven men rules committee, body, was re. on the football (representing that named. Several rules need modifying, and at the meeting the reports of the ‘new assoclate committee of officials will be received, as will that of the ernment let it be known that inter-|regular central board, ruption of British control of the Suez canal would be regarded as an act of hostility to Italy,.since the security of the canal is indispensa- ble to Italy’s communication with her Red Sea provinces.

The impres= slon iy that the session will be a comparatively short one, and that it will be over by Easter, the first week of April. Practically no leg= islation of a contention nature will be introduced. The business will be largely confined to war measures, the voting of the war appropria< tions and the supplies necessary on the business for the country. There will be small grist of private legis lation, including rallway bills. The war measures will of necessity In= clude legislation designed to produce revenue to meet at least a portion of war expenditures. There will une doubtedly be some tariff changes, as well as a bill providing for some measure of direct taxation. Just what form this will take Is not known, but it is probable that it will be in the nature of a stamp tax such as has been imposed in the United States. The calling togeth- er of parliament on a Thursday means that there will be no change in the speakership, and that it Speaker Sproule goes to the Senate it will not be until after the session is over. The several vacancies in the Senate will probably all be filled before the House meets, and steps will be taken to fill the several va- cancles In the lower House.
