uvi-We-e-e-e-es leyan!" Jacob Tome Institute: "Rah (nine times) Tome, Tome, Tome!" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Spends $24.40 on Phone Call to Girl. A young man who said he was Douglas Whitaker, of Winthrop, Mass., entered a telephone booth in a hotel, at Newark, N. J., got his home town on the wire, and talked for an hour and two minutes to a girl in that place. The toll charges were $24.40. He did not have enough money to pay the bill. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Football Rules for 1914. Coaches will not be permitted to walk the side lines during football games during the coming season, as a result of a change in the rules adopted recently by the intercollegiate football rules committee, in their meeting at the Hotel Martinique, Manhattan. The annual meeting of the committee adjourned without making any radical changes in the existing rules. The proposal that after teams have lined up for play, the team in possession of the ball will not be allowed to encroach on the neutral zone in shift plays, before the ball is snapped, was also adopted.

His duty will be to assist the referee and umpire. The naming of such an official is optional. The committee also adopted a rule providing that any free kick striking the goal posts and bounding back into play shall count as having scored. W. S. Langford, W. N.

Since Texas quit paying bounty for the killing of "mule-ear" rabbits they have become very numerous, to the detriment of growing crops. It has recently been found that they made a good food product, and, it is said, will greatly cheapen the cost of living. A full-grown rabbit will dress about five pounds.
