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:

FOOTBALL RULES.
Camp Says U. A. Committee
made no Radical Changes.
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-

H. Maybury, the Western sprinter, and
Henry F. 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. :
