W ELIGIBILITY RULES FOR COLLEGES Committees From Yale, Harvard and Princeton to Meet and Draft Uniform Athletic Code. New Haven, Nov. 16.—Yale, Har- | vard and Princeton have settled de- | tails for their triangular conference ' on future eligibility qualifications and | restrictions of their athletes. Two ses- i sions, each two days long, will be held, the first having been set for Friday and Saturday, November 26 and 27; th® second a week later, December 3 and 4. Both will be held in the Yale | club at New York. Yale's representa- tives will be Professor Robert Corwin, chairman of the athletic committee; George P. Day, treasurer, and Henry Hobson, composing the executive com- mittee; John Field, football; George Case, baseball; Fred Allen, rowing, and John Kilpatrick, track graduate menaber of the athletic committee of Yale. Cases of athletes in all three | universities will be considered, and a vote will be taken on the eligibility of Harry Legore, Billy Easton, Arthur Milburn, Spencer Pumpelly, and Bob | Rhett, the five Yale baseball players ' whom Yale declared ineligible under | he present rule for having accepted | board while playing summer baseball at Quogue. Yale will vote in the egative, but it is understood ‘that arvard and Princeton will vote in favor of reinstatement, making the players eligible for baseball next spring. A revised eligibility code is flikely as a product of the sessions.

TOWERS HAS PARALYTIC SHOCK News of Serious Attack on November 7 Kept From All But Immediate Members of Family. County Commissioner Joseph Towers lies critically ill at his home on Stan- ley street, as the result of a stroke of paralysis which unknown to his large number of friends, he suffered a week ago last Sunday, and for many days he lingered between life and death as a result. H Mr. Towers’ absence from his usual haunts was noticeable for the past week, but few learned of his precar- ious condition. He had been about the week before last as usual but, while not feelng in the best of health, he disguised his ailments from his friends. On Sunday, November 7, hc had the shock.- It was seen at the outset that Mr. Towers’ condition was of a precarious nature. Probably mo man in the civic or political life is better known than “Joe” Towers. For many years he ‘has been identified with republican circles.

The strike fever has crept into the ranks of the bartenders and as a re- sult two of the employes of Munch’s cafe are now conspicious by their ab- sence in that thirst parlor. The trou- ble occurred Saturday evening when James McCarthy, for a number of | | Years head clerk in the place, was dis- charged by the proprietor, following a demand for better working hours. According to one of the officials of the Bartenders’ Local Union the em- ployes at the place had been working hours that were not in conformity with those in vogue in other places about the city. One of the men spoke | about it to Munch, asking that they | be allowed to regulate their hours. + This was apparently satisfactory to ' the proprietor, who raised no objec- tion at the time, but great was the surprise when on last Saturday even- ing Munch notifled McCarthy that his services were no longer required. On learning this the other employes of the place walked out in sympathy. It is likely that the matter will be brought before the next meeting of the union. l ; TO MEET MOONSHINERS WAR. Charleston, W.

Speyver and Sir Ernest Cassel can retain membership in the privy coun- cil. The case was brought by the Anti-German League, which obtained a writ directing Sir Edgar and Sir Ernest to show cause why they should not relihquish their position in the council because they are of German birth . Sir Edgar Speyer in a letter to Premier/ Asquith last May resigned his privy councillorship and request- ed that his baronetcy be revoked, on account of charges of disloyalty made against him in the press. The German origin of Sir Edgar and Sir Ernest, both prominent finan- ciers, has been the. subject of much antagonistic comment in England. ‘WINS TARGET MATCH.

HOLLAND WILL NOT MEDIATE FOR PEACE Dutch Government Has No Present In- tention of Offering Its Services To That End- London, Nov. 16, 6 a. m.—That the Dutch government has no present in- tention of offering to mediate for peace is the announcement contained in a government reply to an interim report of the second chamber embody- ing general reflections on the budget, says a Reuter despatch from the Hague. The government declares that it is fully cognizant of the fact that the termination of the war would be ben- eficial to Holland, but asserts this is not sufficient reason for mediation- The government says it always is ready to do the utmost in its power as a neutral state to hasten the end of the war, but realizes that no at- tempt is likely to succeed if it is pro- posed only by one or two of the bel- ligerents. A desire for peace, the government declares, will not be permitted to lead to premature steps which would preju- dice both the country’s position and pacific aims EARNINGS EXCEED EXPENSES, ‘Washington, Nov. 16,—The twelve federal reserve banks earned $221,954 October, while their current during that period according to a statement by the federal reserve earnings were about $2,000 greater than any previous nionth shown; the expenses were greater than those in September and in July. Only one bank, St. Louis, failed to show an excess of earnings over ex- penses, although the Philadelphia bank showed a surplus of only $77.35 for the month. duting expenses $134,017 issued today board. The were IN view of the fact that the preésent football rules provide for more pen- altles than under the former playing code, it is pot an easy task to keep track of them unless followers . of the game study them carefully. Certain plays come under the watchful eyes of each of the four officials. In many cases the referee, who must follow the movements of the ball, is blamed for inflicting penalties, when, as a matter of fact, he is enforcing the judgment of the umpire, field judge or lineman. In order to make clear the reasons for penalties so that the layman can understand them they should be ex- plained in numerical order. A two vard penalty is imposed when a team calls for time without calling in sub- stitutes more than three times during the first two periods. A five yard pen- alty is inflicted when a team is “off- side”—when a player is in front of the line which passes through the end of the ball nearest his eleven. A ten yard penalty is incurred by a player of a team on the defensive who interferes with an opponent about to try for a forward pass; also by a player who, in making a forward pass, inten- tionally throws the ball to the ground, or by an attacking player who runs into an adversary in the secondary de- fense after the ball has been declared dead. For holding an opponent in the line of scrimmage a fifteen yard penalty is imposed; also when a man, taking part in the interference, uses his hands to throw would be tacklers out of the way. A similar penalty is earned by players who trip men, with or without the ball, or intentionally collide with and rough a back after he has made a punt. If a substitute does not report to the ref- eree, if there is interference with a fair catch, piling on a runner after he has been downed, tackling out of bounds, hurdling the rush line or coaching from the side lines, the of- fending team also must lose fifteen yards. Twenty-five yards must be surren- dered by a team which is not prepared to resume play at the beginning of the third period. The disqualification of a man for slugging or other unfair tac- tics means a penalty of half the dis- tance to the goal line, and if such a player tries to return to the field this penalty is repeated. If a foul is com- mitted by a team on the defensive within the one vard line half the dis- tance Is lost, The possession of the ball is surren- dered by a team that does not gain the necessary ten yards in four downs or if, ,on the fourth down, the ball is thrown or punted out of bounds. The ball is lost if it is illegally handled on a forward pass or if it is kicked while I on the ground after such a play. TAKE THIS MAN'S ADVICE |FOOD FROM U. 8. FOR TRY THE GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY It always gives me pleasure to recommend anything that is right and so I feel it my duty to herald the praises of Dr, Kilmer's Swamp-Root. For years I was troubled with kid- ney disease and it was so intense that 1 was bedridden for days at a tfme. I gave up all hope and doctors for miles around gave me no help. In- cidentally I tried several patent reme- dies and at last trled Swamp-Root. From the first it gave me relief and it was no time before I was able to be up and around and now I am per- fectly well and able to work as I used to before my terrible siclkness.

NUSUAL activity has been noted this fall among college water polo players, and the reason is to be found in the wealth of good material avail- able for almost every squad in the league. All teams have developed championship aspirations, but realize that the race for honors will be hard and close, so are making early efforts to bring the candidates to the highest pitch of efficiency by the time the title tournament is started. Columbia and Princeton have decid- ed to hold interclass contests so that positions on the varsity sextets may be earned in actual competition, and most of the men are already rounding into shape. Yale and Pennsylvania expect to draw on the football squads for some of their players and will not have their teams in working order until later. Princeton appears to have the best chances at the intercollegiate pennant. Captain Nourse and Selby, the two greatest scoring forwards of 1915, are again on hand, as are also the veterans Kahn, Rutherford, Latrobe, Gennert and Scudder, and great things are ex- pected of N. Nourse, Helm and Warden, who played a star game on last year's freshman team. The Tiger defense line, none too strong in 1915, promises this season to be extremely hard to plerce, so that on paper the team looks almost invincible. Columbia, nevertheless, feels confi- dent of making a telling bid for su- premacy, and the confidence is not un- warranted. In Captain Mouquin, Cooper, Stevenson, Vanderwater, No- ble, Rogers, Herbert, Gibson, Rosen and Cleveland the Morningside coaches have sterling material which only needs good handling to furnish a winning ag- gregation. Individual play has been Columbia’s chief fault in the past. If the present men can be taught the se- crets of teamwork they need fear no rivals. Yale will undoubtedly have the strongest back fleld in the league, but must develop more able, COLLEGE WATER POLO scorers than last year iIf they expect victory. Steiner, the best forward, is too light to be as successful in attack as big, fast men like Nourse and Selby of Princeton. Still, the necessary tim- ber is not lacking. Miller, Brophy, Galt, Farrar, Black, Durfee, Kent, Sco- vil and Landstreet have the qualifica- tions and only require hard work and competent coaching to be up to the standard. Prospects at Pennsyivania are not especially bright just now. Captain Shryock and Russell unquestionably rank among the leading forwards, but the only other experienced players who can be ‘counted upon are Swan, Ratner, Walsh and Treadwell, so that rather green recruits may have to be called upon. There are a number of promising new men in training, how- ever, and it is probable that a few stars may presently come to light and con- siderably improve the outlook for the red and blue. The College of the City of New York squad is composed almost entirely of players lacking the weight to prove ef- fective in a hard fought contest. Their speed may give them the advantage for awhile, but the heavier teams will eventually wear them down. The varsity sextet will probably be made up of Clendenin, Babor, Rudinsky, Kerekes, Schuiman and Auerbach. They-have exhibited the best work so far. KIDNEY PUNCH OFTEN MISUSED. THE kidney punch, used in clinches, is a mighty effective punch in a finish fight; but, in the opinion of a fa- mous boxing critic, it hurts the punch- er more than it does the punched if the bouts are limited to six, ten or twelve rounds. “The kidney punch is used to wear down a foe,” he writes. “It rarely be- gins to weaken a fighter before the fifteenth or twentieth round, while the man who delivers it weakehs himself and loses some of his stamina by de- versatile Lvering it Photo by American Press Assoclation.
