22 TATLH ALUMNI WHrExMLY CHANGES AT HARVARD. The New Wear—The Willams Game— MecMasters to Train. [Correspondenee of YALE ALUMNI WEEELY.] Cambridge, October 5.— Harvard opened her doors to students in all de- partments on Thursday. Indications point to a considerable increase in the undergraduate department, although figures are not yet obtainable. Few changes are announced in the Faculty or curriculum. The retirement of Dr. F. C. Babbitt from the Greek Department to accept the Professorship at Trinity, formerly held by Professor Beckwith, left a vacancy which has been filled by the appointment of Mr. W. F. Harris, who has been pursuing studies in Europe during the past three years. A series of new courses for the profes- sional training ef teachers, principals and superintendents of schools is an- nounced which, in its scope and aims, is similar to the Teachers’ Courses which were established at Yale a year ago. “The Law School begins the year with more new blood in the corps of instruc- tors than for several. years. One im- portant addition to the Faculty is the appointment of Professor E. B. Strobel to the Bemis Professorship. He will also conduct the courses in Interna- tional Law in the College, formerly given by Professor Beale. The lectures on Bills and Notes and on Partnership, which have been conducted by Dean J. B. Ames, will be under Professor Joseph Doddridge Brannan, who enters upon his work from the Cincinnati Law School. Mr. N. W. Swift has been appointed Lecturer on Sales, a course previously given by Professor James B. Thayer. Mr. J. J. Storrow of Boston will offer twelve lectures on Patent Law, and Mr. Dodge will assume the courses of Professor Williams, owing to the latter’s illness, except ‘those in Roman Law and Partnership. SPANISH WAR MEMORIAL. Information in regard to all Harvard men who served in the Spanish war is being collected for purposes of record and it has been decided to erect a memorial gateway to comemorate the services of those who died in the con- flict. The gateway will be on the South side of the College yard facing Har- vard Square. Harvard men _ have marched and fought side by side with Yale men throughout the war, and some mention of those who died in the service will be made in a subsequent letter.. The only bequest of moment received by the University during the Summer was $10,000, by the will of the late. James Stevenson of Brookline, Mass., to found two scholarships in the Medical School. Announcement has just been made of a $5,000 scholarship in the Col- lege, to be known as the Worey Wil- lard Buckminster Scholarship, given by W. B. Buckminster in memory of his son, who was to have entered Harvard this year. Warm weather proved a- serious handicap to the work of the football candidates during the past week. But the new men are taking hold well. There has been little practice in team play, as many candidates are being tried in the various positions. The players who have the right of way at present are: Richardson, r.e.; J. Lawrence, r.t.; Burden, r.g.; C. Sargent and Kasson, c.; Boal, l.g.; Burnett, 1't.; Cochrane, l.e.; Daly, q.b.; Warren, r.h.b.; Dibblee, l.h.b.; Reed, f.b. During the temporary absence of Richardson and Reed, owing to slight injuries, Lewis and T. Ken- | dall are the choice as substitutes. Daly gives promise of becoming the best quarter Harvard has had _ since Wrenn’s day. He tackles hard, passes and punts well. He is being coached to play back to receive punts and his skilful interference makes him a valua- ble man in blocking off when one of the other backs receives the ball. Law- rence is rapidly learning the tackle position and may hold his own against the more experienced players, Swain, Donald and Lee when they begin work. Ex-Captain Waters not only knows the requirements of the tackle position thor- oughly, but his energetic coaching is very effective in teaching other men. Kendall is playing well at full-back and will press Reed hard for the place. Haughton, full-back last season, will probably try for a place in the line this year. Cochrane at the end of the line has been following the ball well. He plays back to receive kicks, as he is a good punter. C. Sargent and Kasson are working hard for the snap-back position. Sargent has a shade the bet- ter of the contest, but must reduce his weight. Captain Dibblee is playing a fast game and his handling of the team is excellent. Boal at left-guard is strong in his position. The weakness of the team which seems likely to prove most difficult to remedy is on the ends of the line, where the material is of mediocre quality. HARVARD DEFEATS WILLIAMS. The opening game of the season with Williams last Saturday resulted in a score of II to 0 in favor of Harvard, in two fifteen minutes halves. All the scoring was done in the first half. The first touchdown was made by Cochrane, who secured the ball on a fumble by one of the opposing backs and ran fifteen yards to the goal. The second score was made by Kendall through the line after a lonig run by Dibblee. The Williams team proved a strong one, the chief weakness being at full-back. The management has selected Mc- Masters, the old Princeton trainer, to look after the players, and he will have the care of their physical condition for the present at least. It seems not a little strange to see him rushing to and fro on the field in a sweater marked with the stripes of the Princeton tiger. J. WESTON ALLEN. Yale, 5—Wesleyan, 0. Yale’s second game was played at the Field on Saturday against the Wesleyan Eleven and resulted in a victory by the small score of 5 to o. With the ex- ception of the first few m ites, the play throughout was slow and spiritless, owing to the intense heat which pre- vailed. Yale lost the ball repeatedly on fumbling and off-side play and to this may be attributed in large measure the smallness of the score. Wesleyan made repeated gains through the Yale guards and tackles, but at no time had the ball within thirty yards of Yale’s goal. Yale’s touchdown was made two minutes before the close of the first half. Taking the ball at the thirty-yard line on the kick off, Yale carried it down the field on successive rushes to within twenty-five yards of the Wesleyan goal, where it was lost on a fumble. An ex- change of punts followed which gave the ball to Yale on Wesleyan’s twenty- yard line, and after a number of inter- ruptions due to fumbling and off-side play, McBride took the ball across the line. Brown failed to kick the goal. In the second half nine new men were substituted on the Yale team and the Wesleyan goal was at no time in dan- ger. The line-up: YALE. POSITION.

Mr. After a series of meetings extending over several weeks, the Rules Commit- tee of the University Athletic Club, con- sisting of Messrs. Dashiell, Bell, Moffat, Dennis, Wrenn and Camp, completed their work upon the football rules of 1808. Previous to the calling together of this committee, two other bodies, the Southern Intercollegiate Association and the Western, had formulated codes differing in some material points from the old set, chiefly in legislation un- favorable to mass plays. The Committee of the University Athletic Club proceeded upon the sup- position that the rules which had gone so successfully through two seasons could not be far wrong and determined to make no changes save those that appeared absolutely essential. With Messrs. Wrenn and Dashiell on the Committee this task was rendered much easier, as these two officials were able to show just what agreements between captains and officials had been rendered - necessary by ambiguity. There are two discrepancies in tthe published code. Rules 13 and 23 con- flicting also 15 and 28. These will prob- ably be corrected shortly by the Com-— mittee. The final results show almost no radical changes save in the scoring rule, which now allows but one point for converting a touchdown into a goal, the values being touchdowns five points, and one point for converting it into a goal; goal from field five points safety by opponents two points. Any feint by the snap-back, even though he does not let the ball go, puts it in play. Charging is carefully defined and un- lawful charging penalized. Provision is made against a team in- tentionally committing fouls when close to their goal line, the design being to delay the fair progress of the play. It is also rendered lawiul to play less than seventy minutes if both captains agree to it. In case of a game beginning late the referee is empowered to shorten ‘the halves, announcing the length previous to any playing, however, so as to insure two equal halves being played. Captains are also allowed to take out men and replace them by substitutes whether the men are injured or not. Touch-in-goal is eliminated from the rules altogether. ‘The quarter-back can. advance the ball to the line of scrimmage. The balance of the alterations are chiefly explanatory in character and in- volve no changes in the play. There are marginal headings and also an index for the convenience of players and offi- WALTER CAMP. Fall Regatta.

Cochems of this season’s foot- ball team, and relinquishes all claims to records made by the former since Sept. 12, 1895. Both men violated the athletic rules of the University at an athletic meeting held at Spring Green, Wisconsin in 1895. : You have seen the Fall KNOX?
