Changes Made In Football Rules (By The Skipper) Camden football funs and those who play thevKrld game will he Interested In checking up on the changes that have been made In the rules for the 1937 HeuHou, It is still several weeks before the pigskin steps Into the public limelight, but 1 realize that interest is quite keen now and so am offering the pertinent faets in regard to the chunges. This yeur, only one kickoff will be allowed. It has been customary In the past, if the first kickoff went over u side-line, the kicking team had another chance without being penalized, if the second kickoff went over a side line the receiving side was given the ball on its own 40 yard line. This season, If the kick goes over the sideline, the bull is given to the receiving team on its 35 yard line, at a point ten yards beyond the spot where it crossed the side-line?whichever the captain of the receiving team chooses. If the kickoff goes out of bounds on the 20 yard line the receiving captain wil^ ol course choose to put it in play on his 35 yard line; if it goes out of bounds on the 50 yard line ho will want to put it in play ten yards beyond that point, or the forty yard line. i he rule however does not apply to kickofls that go out of bounds after crossing the receiving team's goal line. 'I hese still will be played as touchbacks, with the receiving team putting the ball in play on jtis twenty yard line. An incident in the Yale-Navy game last year resulted in'a new ruling, regarding a player kicking a free ball. The old rule was that if a player while " attempting to recover a free ball, accidentally struck the ball with his foot or leg, it was not to be considered that he had kicked a free ball. The new ruling is that a player is not to be considered to have kicked a tree ball if the ball accidentally strikes, or Is struck by any portion of hia body?other than his foot, it still is up to the offlciuls to decide whether the player's contact with the ball vyas accidental or Intentional. The third change Is more a clarification than a change. In a note to the rule concerning interference with an eligible receiver of a forward pass. Attention of officials is directed to the fact that defensive players have as much right to the ball as have eligi ble pass Receivers, and that bodily contact, even if it is rough, between players who are making an honest ef fort to catch or bat the ball should not be considered as interference. No change has been made in the rule governing the conduct of players ineligible to receive a forward pass, but coaches are saked to keep such ineligible players out of the puss area. Back up this mild request is the threat of a rule requiring that ineligible pin Vers remain on the line of scrimmage. rhe fourth of the year's rule changes is a requirement that players wear numbers on both the front and the back of their jerseys. SUGGESTIONS The appearance and also the flavor of coleslaw can be Improved by adding a few tnblespoons of chopped sweet green or red peppers to the cabbage. An old whisk broom trimmed into a" sharp V point makes a good imple ment with which to clean the corners and crevices of furniture as well as floor corners. Mixing ginger nle with Iced tea produces u different and pleasing drink. Jellies will have better consistency and flavor if underripe fruits and berries are used instead of overripe ones Baking soda on a dampened cloth has been found effective for cleaning white enamelware. Mildew stains can be removed from clothing by Boaking the stained article In sour milk or buttermilk for two days, then rinsing In cold water and washing In warm water and soap suds. When cooking aliced ham some cooks cover the tops of the slices with pineapple, peaches or aprlcota, then sprinkle them generously with brown sugar, to add a different flavor. \ Papyrus Favored in East Long Ahead of Parchment Some 1,700 years ugo, a Pharaoh ordered a boycott against Pergamum in Asia Minor, says 1 he Pleasures of Publishing." 'I lie chief thing Pergamum was not able to obtain because of that boycott was papyrus. That seemed a great loss to them ut the time, and it was as much of u loss to them as being deprived entirely of paper would be to us. Hut as things turned out, it was u great blessing to humanity, for necessity being the mother of invention, the ingenious souls of Pergamum turned to and developed and devised parchment. The important thing was this: The papyrus which they had previously been using was probably the most fragile and impermanent material man has ever used as a writing mateI rial, while the parchment which they introduced proved to be the best, the most permanent, tin; most indestructible, and all in all the most satisfactory writing surface ever discovered. Parchment is usually made of sheepskin or lambskin. And vellum which most people think of as being synonymous with parchment, differs in that it is customarily of calfskin. Qne of the oldest Biblical texts we have is 4?ne on antelope skin; had it been done on papyrus, ! it would probably have come to us in fragments, if at all. Gondolas Were in Use in Sixteenth Century Days Gondolas are first mentioned in an Eleventh century document, and by the Sixteenth century competition among their owners in Venice had become so fierce that the city had to set up a code of fair practices. Instead of being allowed to attract passengers by the bright colors on their boats, the gondoliers were summarily ordered to paint everything black and black ihe gondolas have remained to this day, observes a writer in the Los Angeles Times. The second feature of gondolas, the peculiar raised prow of iron, has a double purpose. It serves to help balance the weight of the gondolier in the stern, and it also prevents his trying to pass under bridges too low to let the little cabin of the vessel pass. Even though Venice is built on 117 small islands and even though one ordinarily thinks of getting about it by water, it is possible to explore the city on foot. It has about 400 bridegs, and many of the canals are lined with streets. The main complaint of the explorer on foot is that he is forever coming to a blank wall or a canal, but he is compensated by the fact that the shops are to be found on these streets. Typewriter Postage Stamps A typewriter once turned out bona fide postage stamps. It was not just a mere stunt; it was a necessity. This only recorded occasion when the pounding of a typewriter gained recognition in philately was in Uganda, now part of Kenya and Uganda, British colony and protectorate. This was in 1895 and these typewritten stamps are listed as the first stamps of the district. This kind of postal paper was used about two years. The final design was a little more elaborate, for Uganda was than spelled out across the bottom with "V. 96. R." across the top. This signified the year and Victoria Regina. The value mark was in the center of the stamp. ? ? \ Till" Instead of "IV" Among clockmakers there is a tradition that about 1370 'a clockmaker named Henry de Vick made a clock for Charles V of France, who was popularly known as Charles the Wise. The monarch examined the clock very closely when it was submitted for his approval and was unable to find any flaw in the workmanship. Finally, anxious to find some fault, he complained that the clockmaker made an error in the numbers on the dial and that the IV shoud be IIII. He was ordered to correct the "error" and de Vick changed the IV to IIII on the dial, and ever since it has been customary to use that form on clocks. "Subs" for Orchestra Playei? \ The unique custom of excusing orchestral players from attending rehearsals if they sent other musicians to take their places existed in London up to about fifty years ago, says Collier's Weekly, when it met a sudden death under a withering fire of vituperation by a famous foreign conductor. He had called four rehearsals Vr an important concert and they had been attended by four different groups of substitutes. Ancient Hero Honored The French army still pays striking tribute to the memory of La Tour d'Auvergne, who was killed in action in 1800. The name of this "first grenadier of France" has never been struck from the roll of the army and today, as during the past, sa^s Collier's Weekly, it is still called at every parade of his company and answered by an officer who replies: "Died on the field of bonor." ONE ARM BOY TAUQHT TO 8WIM AT AIKEN 8TATE PARK There is no excuse for normally constituted people not being able to swim. In fact there Is no valid excuse even for those who have had the misfortune of having lost one or even several limbs. Young Wilbur Proctor, Jr., is Just twelve years of age. He lives at Windsor, S. C., live miles from Aiken State Park. When Wilbur was three years of age a train cut off his left arm near the shoulder. Now he is twelve years of age. He could not swim and It looked like he never would enjoy this healthful sport. However, a "learn to swim week" was announced by Life Guard Ernest Bryant at Aiken State Park. Wilbur enrolled. He could not swim a stroke yet today he can swim the entire length of the lake, a distance of three hundred and seventy-five yards or close to a quarter-mile. He has been taught and has become proficient in -the use of the scissors kick and the shallow arm side stroke. Wilbur is the son of Wilbur Proctor, Sr., station agent of the Seaboard Railroad at Windsor and naturally Mr. Proctor 1b delighted that hit) son is able to enjoy the water I In company with other lads of hie ago, many of them have also been I taught to swim at the Park. This reads like a testimonial and it is truly that. A testimony to the I perserverance of both Wilbur who overcome his physical handicap and to I Life Guard Bryant who clearly demonstrated that oven a one-armed boy I could be taught to swim, therefore, I it follows that there is no excuse for ? others not learning this enjoyable I past time and boon to safety. The life I guards at South Carolina State Parks fl are expert swimmers and swimming instructors and can teach a person H to swim in from one to five days, therefore, Park visitors still have a I chance to learn to swim before the life guards are relieved from duty at H the end of August for all Parks ex- I cept Myrtle Beach and Paris Moun- i tain where they will be relieved Sep- fl tember 7. A blast of live steam in the fireroom H of the U. S. destroyer Cassin at Phila delphia, killed six workmen and Be- H verely scalded nine others, Including seven enlisted men. ??gengwiiii, hub iigaMteaaMBM?wgcaagaejwwgBawwBnBB^ag^gaB8ga^^^ TO DELINQUENT TAXPAYERS The Sheriff's office is now busy mailing out statements of delinquent taxes.
