WILMETTE LIFE. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1924 of the Rogers Park church in Chicago. Seven years' residence in China b brought Miss Boynton into contaa~ not only with Christian schools ~~ the land, but also with many of the leaders of thought in the field of tducation and politics. She is acquainted with the generals Wu and Chang who are now storming about Peking and her message will be particularly time. ly in Yiew of the unsettled condition !n the "Land of the Rising Sun." Miss Grace Boynton of Yenching colltJ e, China, is to be the guest of the First Congregational church Sunday morning, September 21, and will be the speaker at a Promotion service at eleven o'clock. Miss Boynton comes from a noted Congregational family. Her father, the Rev. Nehemiah Boynton, D. D., has long been one of the foremost ministers of the denomination and is honored as ex-moderator of the National council, the highest office in the gift of the body. Two brothers, Edward and Russell, are in the active Congregational ministry and her sister is the wife of Rev. Willi;~m A. Patton I "Th! Northwestern Mentor Ex- plains Changes in Rules By GLENN F.

The men are scattered over the field, the kicking ide running under the hall. and the receiving side forming the interference for the receiver of the ball. There has been plenty of time for the st rategy oi both sides to be 9bserved. But this fall the ball cannot be teed up either by artificial means or by scooping up the dirt. It is possible for the kicker to make a depression in which the ball may rest or another player may hold the ball on the ground for him.

Three Dr. Artbar H. Tuttle kinds of kicks will result: In most cases the ball will be driven over the Dr. Alice D.

This Residence and Office means touch-backs with the tame affair 113 Central A.-..eaue of having the ball carried out to the 20Phone 3M yard line and put in play by scrimmage. At other times the ball will be driven wildly on the ground end-over-end directly into the receiving players, and since there is nothing so wild as a football -1ng met-over-end on the ground, a wild scramble for the ball with an ample number of fumbles will result. The third form of kick will be the short high one so timed that the kicking side caa get under it and fight for possession. Lovers of the game will recall the effort made three years ago to get some excitement into the try for point after touchdown by having one play made on the five yard line hoping that the attacking team would use running plays or forward passes as well as kick. But the distance was too great for a chance to be taken on a run or pass and practically all teams chose to kick. This year more encouragement is given for a variation by having the ball put in play on the three-yard line. It is a great deal easier to make three yards in a single play than five and teams will do well to try the rushing game and forward passes rather than to kick all the time for the extra point. A great improvement is that the timekeeper-:-usually the field judge-is instructed to fire a pistol at the end of each quarter. This will clear up for all time the question as to just when time is up which has always been a question for dispute in the past. The screen pass as used so successfully by Northwestern last year has been practically put out of commission by a rule which makes it necessa;y for play· ers ineligibile to receive the pass to get out of the way of defense players who have an opportunity to get the ball before it strikes the ground. Spectators will recall the old twoyard penalty inflicted upon a team if time was taken out more than thr« our Cantilever Shop times in a half unless a substitute was ~t in.
