My Ailments.
My ailments had never given me
very much cause for worry until I
came to San Marcos. Since that time,
they have developed rapidly, however,
and I now find myself the victim or
many.
My first serious ailment was home-
sickness, caused from the lack of bet-
ters from home—and—other places. I
have a daily headache, as a result of
overstudy, and the lack of thorough
preparation of my lessons causes a
pain in my heart. Sitting so long at
study has developed indigestion, and
the lack of food at my boarding house
each day causes a new pain around my
diaphragm, and creates a ravishing de-
sire for fried chicken. Cooking in my
Home Economics class just after the
noon hour has caused my body to be-
come infected with heat; which re-
sults in a stinging sensation. Are mos-
quito bites a disease? To me they
are a very serious one. They create
a desire to scratch which at times is
very embarrassing. They also cause
a loss of sleep that has kept me in a
state of nervousness. The loss of
sleep has also banished the bloom from
my cheeks, and lips, thereby inducing
the use of the lip stick. I arise in the
morning with a pain in my back, the
result of sleeping, or trying to sleep,
ot a bed that is elevated at each end.
Walking over these rocky hills makes
pains in my feet, and uses up my en-
ergy; thereby making me sluggish.
I also have a financial ailment as a
result of buying theme tablets, pencils,
ink, art supplies, and of paying my
board. Aside from this I am in constant
dread lest I be hurried away to San
Antonio because of my teacher’s opin-
ion of my work in College. These may
seem minor disease to any one who
has never attended . college here, but
they have become chronic, and I am
assured by my doctor (my mind)
that there is no cure possible until af-
ter-the close of summer session

IMPORTANT CHANGES
MADE IN FOOTBALL RULES
BY NATIONAL COMMITTEE
THE DEMONSTRATION COTTAGE
(Continued from page One)
is in a small room which adjoins the
bathroom. In this same direction
from the staircase are two rooms which
are exactly alike in every respect.
What could be more enticing to a
person wishing to study than these
rooms in which one has access to such
surroundings. The prominent articles
of furniture are an ivory dresser, two
chairs, a large clothes closet with an
electric globe in the ceiling; buff-col-
ored window shades, and walls of de-
licate grey and pink. Also something
prompts one to step further out into
the sleeping porch, where one finds
space for comfortably holding beds for
four occupants.
When one comes back to the left of
the stairs, one is at the entrance to
the private office, which is very invit-
ing for all business chat. There is
an office desk placed in one corner of
the room, an office chair, rocker, other
chairs, all of mahogany finish.- The
rug is of blue velour, the walls of
bluish yellow. Passing through the
office one comes to a bedroom, in
which is an iron bed of mahogany
color and a clothes closet on either
side of the door. Thence one passes
into a private bath room with almost
the same furnishings as that of the
one previously described.
Heretofore students in the H. E.
course at best received the theory of
home making without much chance at
the practice of that art. Now they
have a better opportunity of seeing
the theory they get out of the books
put into practical application under
expert direction and supervision. After
one remains in the cottage for the
required term, there should be no rea-
-son why she should not go out from
here well-equipped for either theori-
ttcal or practical home making. Some
wit has remarked that those who can
do, those who cannot, teach. This
training should equip the average de-
monstration Cottage occupant to do
either or. both.
Alert!
The division was having maneuvers
for the benefit of visitors’ day and
everything was 'being let loose at once.
A pretty girl was eagerly watching
the performance when a rifle volely
crashed out. With a surprised scream
she fell back into the arms of a young
corporal who was standing just be-
hind her.
“Oh, I beg your pardon, she gasped,
blushing, “1 was frightened by the
rifles.”
“Quite all right,” Replied the cor-
poral. Then he added hopefully,
“Let’s go over and watch the heavy
.artillery for awhile.”—Bursts and Duds
Following is a number of the most
important changes and interpretation
of football rules made by the National
Football Rules Committee during its
recent meeting in New York City.
Head Coach D. X. Bible of the A. &
M. College of Texas was a member
of the committee and was the first
man from the South ever to sit on a
national rules-making body:
Clipping.
“Clipping or cutting down from be-
hind, a practice which many coaches
and officials have objected to was
carefully interpreted this year and
made a part of the rules, to read as
follows: “Clipping or throwing the
body from behind across the leg or
legs or below the knees of a player
not carrying the ball should be ruled
as unnecessary roughness. Note—this
rule is not meant to apply to close
line plays.”
“This rule will not prohibit the line
men from going through on the oppo-
site side from where the play is going
and cutting down the defense. It
should prevent many injuries of men
who are in no position to protect them-
selves from attack.”
Scoring Touchdown.
“Unnecessary roughness will be re-
duced and much unfairness prevented
by the rule which provides that here
after ‘a touchdown shall be scored as
soon as the man crosses the goal line.
Officials shall blow the whistle as soon
as they are convinced that the ball
has crossed the goal line or on a for-
ward pass when the pass is completed
behind the goal line.’
“Many fumbles after the ball has
been taken behind the goal line have
deprived teams of merited victory, and
many injuries have been inflicted as a
result of roughness behind the goal
line in the attempt to cause fumbles
This rule will cover the situation well
recognizing a touchdown fairly made
and dispensing with all roughness.
Man in Motion.
‘As a consequence of the addition
made to the rule in reference to a man
being in motion before a ball is put
into play and which specifies that
‘any man who thus* starts from the
line of scrimmage must be at least
5 yards behind the line when the ball
is snapped,’ will prevent the line man
from driving his opponent unaware
and will clear up any question in the
minds of the officials as to whether
the player was <in motion toward his
goal at the time the ball was put in
play. The habit has been that the
lineman would give the snapping sig-
nal and start into the line an instant
before the ball was snapped, giving
him an advantage of momentum when
he hits the line, and thus making a
very much abused rule. The new rule
will not affect the back field and it
will not take any of the strategy out
of the play.
Substituting Men.
“Much emphasis will be laid upon
the importance of coaches doing their
big work before the game and depend-
ing less upon the opportunity of coach-
ing during the progress of a game by
taking out men to gather information
and sending them back at the next
period with advice and information as
a result of the substitution rule which
has been-changed to read ‘a player
taken out in one half cannot return to
the game in the same half, but can go
back any time during the next half.
This means that if a player is taken
out in the first half he can not. go
back until the second half and if
taken out in the second half he is out
for good.
“The practice of coaches will prob-
ably continue but it will mean that
they will have to extend-their coach-
ing by developing more men for each
piace so that those cut out of the
game may be replaced with equally
dependable men.
“For this reason the rule has , been
criticised by coaches of smaller
schoofs who do not have surplus mat-
erial on which to work. It will also
come in for much more criticism by
coaches in general for the reason that
it takes away the opportunity of pul-
ling men who get hurt during play for
the purpose of ascertaining the extent
of their injury and administering to
them. Many times it happens that in-
jured men if taken from the field and
given first aid, can go back after a
short rest and play the rest of the
game and the new rules prevents that
assistance to players.
Forward Pass.
“The committee took a step toward
placing limitations around the for-
ward pass, a thing that it has hesitated
to do because of the desire to see that
form of play develop in the game.
“Heretofore, illegal interference with
a pass meant only the loss of a down,
but as the rule now reads, ‘when a
player interferes with an opponent in
any manner until the ball has been
touched except in an actual attempt
to catch or bat the ball himself his
side will be penalized by 15 yards and
a down.
Kickoff Rule.
“The disadvantage that was always
suffered by the side who lost the toss
for the kickoff was done away with
by the amendment of the kickoff rule
which provides that after the winner
has chosen the goal the other team
will have the right to choose between
kicking off and receiving.
Shortening Garner.
“Possibility of a game being called
on account of darkness was dispensed
with in the rule adopted which pro-
vides that when a game is delayed in
starting the referee shall have the
right after conferring with the two
capta'ins between halves to shorten the
last half or the last quarter.
Notifying C aptains.
“An unnecessary requirement ot
having the referee notify the captains
of both sides three minutes before the
fifteen minute intermission between
halves was up, was ruled out and as
a result a bothersome practice elim-
inated, since it really operated to no
advantage and simply meant an inter-
ruption with the work of the coaches
during the period, tl was also an im-
position on the referee for the reason
that it was very difficult for him to
locate the captains.”

“Big” Allenson Breaks State Record
in Discus Throw While Horton,
Whitener and Bright Place in Other
Events; Denton Wins Meet.
The Normal Bobcats finished in
fifth place, made 17V2 points and broke
the state record on the discus throw
last Friday at Fort Worth when they
participated for the first time in the
annual T. I. A. A. track meet. There
were ten colleges in the meet that was
held on the athletic grounds of T. 0.
U., four of them beat the Cats while
there were five behind them. The Cats
took only one first place, the discus,
but in taking that “Big” Allenson set
a new mark for future discus sailers
to shoot at. He threw it 129.50 feet,
the previous record being 121.2 feet.
Although failing to take any other
first honors, the Cats placed in several
other events. Jack Horton won second
in the 100-yard dash, losing by inches
to Howard Payne’s representative;
Ben Bright won third place in the
high jump, and Whitener won third
place in the mile and third in the jav-
lin throw. Whitener broke the T. I.
A, A. record in throwing the javlin
in a meet at Georgetown some weeks
ago but was unable to duplicate this
performance in the meet at Fort Worth
Friday. In addition to setting a new
record for throwing the discus, Allen-
son counted again for his team by win-
ning second place in the shot put. The
Cats also placed in the relay race, win-
ning second honors.
Denton Normal won the meet, mak-
ing a total of 3054 points. She was fol-
lowed by T. C. U., the home team, with
Southwestern third, Howard Payne
fourth, San Marcos Normal fifth, Trin-
ity University sixth, Simmons College
seventh, Austin College eighth, Dan-
iel Baker ninth and Canyon Normal
tenth.
It is indeed significant that the meet
was won by a new member of the T.
I. A. A., Denton; Normal.
