Football, a popular monarch, entered
his 62nd year.*

Lest fogs of obscurity should arise
from the changes in the rules of the
game for 1924, coaches and officials
put their heads together in Manhattan
at a meeting under the joint auspices
of the Intercollegiate Rules Committee
and the Central Board of Officials.
Chief among these changes:

Elimination of the dirt tee at kick-off. A player may hold the ball for the kicker. A heel print may be used.

The kick-off moved to centre of field (from 40-yd. line), or, on wet grounds, "to a point directly behind" -in which case the receiving team may lie in wait no less than ten yards

away.

Substitution of a 3-yd. line for the
5-yd. line on try-for-point after touch-
down.

¶ On shift formations, players must
come to an obvious halt in their new
positions before ball is snapped.

On forward passes, ineligible men
of the offense must not intervene or
"screen" the pass; receiver must not go

*U. S. or "college" football is said to have been "founded" by one Gerrit Smith Miller, who organized the Oneida Club, at Boston, in 1862. Rugby football, prototype of the U. S. game, was "founded" by one William Webb Ellis, a Rugby School student, in 1823. Reads a tablet on the playing field at Rugby, England: "This stone commemorates the exploit of William Webb Ellis who, with a fine disregard for the rules of football as played in his time, first took the ball in his arms and ran with it, thus originating the distinctive feature of the Rugby game. A. D. 1823."

From McCook Field, Dayton, four weary air Magellans took off (in two planes), flew to Chicago under perfect conditions in the easiest hop of their trip around the earth (TIME, Mar. 24 et seq.). In a windless Windy City, cheering crowds, notables, bands, committees, orators were on hand to welcome them. Lieut. Lowell H. Smith, Flight Commander, issued a statement. Said he: "The next time we go around the world, it is going to be in a boat."

After a brief rest, they hopped 440 miles to Omaha, where their arrival was marked by a holiday for school children and others. In Tucson, Ariz., the next stop, they were again fêted for their feat, in spite of the fact that Governor G. W. P. Hunt, stricken with appendicitis, could not be present. The following day, they hopped to San Diego and stared, like stout Cortez, with eagle eye at the

acific-their perils past, their proud Iventure done.

Three weeks ago, when the fliers rived in Manhattan, James W. Wadsworth, senior U. S. Senator om New York, said:

"At Boston, you saw thousands pon thousands of your fellow-counymen thronging the streets and fillg the open space in the centre of me old town so famous in the annals E the Republic-Boston Common. our fellow-citizens indicated to you ery clearly the quality of the emoons which fill the hearts of Amerans today. You may have been tunned at the extent of that recepon, as you may be with the recepon accorded to you here, but you ill find as you proceed along the omestretch that these are but the rst evidences of the feelings which

Americans long to show to you." Said the Daily Worker, bitter sheetlet f Chicago Communists: "Thousands f morons are gathering at Maywood, where the fliers will land, in order to et a glimpse at the red-blooded American pioneers. Special trains will be run and there will be more Excitement in Chicago, than if the ews had come that the King of Afghanistan had married the Queen f Sheba. . . .

"When the airmen recover they vill attend the reception of the bigvigs that has been arranged."

Engaged. Nita Naldi, Irish cinema vampire, to Giacimel Sanges, President of the Cleveland Trust Co. and famed duelist.

Married. William Sydney Felton, 30, Boston lawyer, to Tosia Szcychoviez, "beautiful Polish girl and shoe factory worker"; in Salem, Mass. Joseph Szcychoviez, "grizzled father of the bride," was alleged to have said to newspapermen: "I go to see such a wedding? I, of princely blood in Poland, turn up there to be patronized by the newly rich and betray my blood and breeding? Never!" He disapproved, "does not care for Mr. Felton."

Married. Sir Basil Zaharoff, 74, "man of mystery of Europe," whose great wealth has armed armies, financed nations, shaped policies, to the Duchess of Marchena, relative of the Kings of Spain; at Chateau de Balincourt, near Paris.

Divorced. Mrs. Gene Gowen from Albert I. Gowen; in Chicago. The charge was neglect. Two years ago, the Gowens honeymooned in their 98-ft. yacht, Speejacks, crossed the Atlantic, the Pacific, weathered a China Sea monsoon, slipped through the teeth of reefs, limped back to Manhattan while the world gasped at a young couple that could endure such storms, such hazards.

Died. Laura Opper, painter of portraits and benefactor of painters; in Manhattan. Her work has been hung in numerous galleries abroad and in the U. S. In 1893, she established one of the first "neighborhood houses"-in Allen Street, Manhattan.

Died. Dutch Louie, 26, famed yegg, gunman; in Cherry Hill, Manhattan. His shooting recalled that of his alleged brother, Charles ("Potatoes") Casazza, in the saloon of Louis Poggi, known as "Louis the Lump," and the killing of "Kid Twist" and his lieutenant by Poggi at Coney Island twelve years ago.

Died. Frank Chance, 47, Bayard of the baseball diamond; in Los Angeles.

a

As a player, he batted .327, stole 404 bases; as a manager, his tact and magnetism won him sobriquet from the press: "The Peerless Leader." Four times he led the Chicago Cubs to victory in the National League; twice won the World's Series. Later, he managed none too successfully the New York Yankees, the Boston Red Sox. Last spring, he was scheduled to manage the Chicago White Sox, but retired because of illness, leaving the task to his faithful lieutenant, Johnny Evers.

Died. Robert Jackson Gamble, 73, former U. S. Senator from South Dakota, at Sioux Falls.
