BUlt CHANGES MADE THIS YEAR
BY CHICK DENNY
Touch f(HitbeII is proving e big
socceaa this yiar. All garaei are
being played Under the new roles
aa provided by the National Col
legiate Association. These rules
make it necessary to use a nine-
man team,' and make it necettary
for more skill b> be applied and less
of the old hapVaurd atyle of play
Second round games have been
completed in nil leagues and in
ie leagues, third round games
huve been playM. - L • i
The surprising element of play
so far has been the close coopers
tion of the day student outfits. And
these teams have shown to possets
just aa much powuff as the dormi
tory organizations. Because a high
pem-ntage of the forfeits came
from these day students last year,
this b what 1 would term a pow

year than in previous year*. It is
hia plan to have water polo ac

Th* team works out every Sun

were the favored team. They had
