Problems of architectural de-

by students. Their solution of
these problems is submitted"to the
committees having this work in

merit.
W. L. Rutan, of Port Arthur, is

W. D. Blair Makes Talk.

•===
Wednesday morning at' the
chapel hour W. D. Blair made an
address to the student body em-
bodying the work of the Student
Volunteer Movement in the world
and a report of the great interna-
tional convention that has just
been held in Kansas City. The
address was full of earnest enthu-
siasm and was forceful and com-
pelling in its train of serious
thought and high endeavor. Mr.
Blair, together with Miss Annie
Clo Watson and Mr. J. C. Delga-
dillo, were delegates to the con-
vention from Southwestern and
all report a most interesting and
helpful stay in Kansas City. Mr.
lair's report covered, as much
as a half-hour's talk could, the re-
cults of the convention and he
made the report in such a way as
to catch the attention of the stu-

of either team.
2. The coin used in the toss-
up shall be a 25-cent piece, and
shall be removed from the field
immediately after the toss-up, so
that it may not be confused with
tiie other quarters.
3. A player caught attempting
to move the goal posts either for-
ward or backward shall be penal-
ized a number.of yards.
4. A team which wilfully
spars for time by breaking or dis-
locating the bones of its members
shall be penalized ten yarls after
the second warning.
5. No player shall wiggle
through the grass on his stomach
and approach the opposing team
unawares, but shall approach it
ingeniously in the open field.
6. In intercepting the kick af-
ter a goal, players are not allow-
ed to climb on the goal posts.
This rule should be more strictly
enforced.
7. Should a player in the
baekfield foresee that he is not go-
ing to make a good catch of a
punt, lie may signal for a fair
catch. If, however, in the opin-
ion of the umpire, it is better than
a fair catch, the ball must be punt-
ed over.
8. Players must not delay the
game by waving or shouting to
friends in the grandstand. Af-
ter six warnings this is punished
by a heavy penalty.
9. Any player scratching, bit-
ing, carving or otherwise defac-
ing the ball will have the same
charged to him on his term bill.
The "Lampoon" urges that
points in football be scored as fol-
lows : Goal from field, 3; goal
from anywhere else, 6; safety, 2;
any other kind of razor, 1; touch-
back, 2; setback, $10.
Finally the Cambridge paper
suggests the renaming of the
football positions so that the ini-
tials shall read instead of 1. t. for
left tackle, and r. e. for right end,
as follows: Ph. D.j LL. D.; B.
