Look For Many Upsets.
There are bound to be a num
ber of upsets of form. In fact, it
looks as if a good many of the
Olympic winners will suffer the
loss of their supreme position in
the "champs.” The hurdles, mid
dle distance races and jumps look
like sure reversals from this seven
days distance,, with the weight
events appearing the only ones
with the odds in favor of their
running true to the dope.
One of the greatest fights of all
will be waged in the half-mile run.
where the veteran Mel Sheppard, of
the Irish-Americans of New York,
copes again with his youthful
Olympic conqueror, Ted Meredith,
of Mercersburg. Meredith has been
doing good running in minor races
since the Stockholm games, but
nothing like the kind exhibited by-
Sheppard. The latter has been
within a couple of seconds of rec
ord time on several occasions, and
not once has ho gone as slow as
two minutes even.
To make a world's record in a
race like the half, a man first has,
of course, to be of record caliber.
But that does not mean he can
break the record every day. Far
from it. Such a man may ap
proach within fifths of the mark
and yet never quite reach it. He
has to be lucky enough to strike
that lucky one-day wonderful shape
that no man can exactly explain.
Sheppard, running at least three
seconds faster consistently than
Meredith recently seems more like
ly to experience such a streak of
form, and if he does he may wipe
Meredith's new record off the
boards.
Hurdle Mark May Go.
The high hurdle event is another
that looms up as a tumbler of

Olympic results. John P. Nichol
son, the Missouri university timber
topper, is expected by many to der
feat Fred Kelly, of Los Angeles,
the Olympic victor. Nichelson, be
fore the Stockholm final, was fig
ured the class of the bunch. He
got off to a poor start, but caught
up to within two feet of the leader
at the next to last hurdle. At
that point he was going much
speedier than any other man when
he fell in his overarixiety and, of
course, was shut out.
\V ende 11, the' Massachusetts
youngster, also may miike them all
go in this event, and Jack Eller, of
the Irish-American A. C., must not
be forgotten. The last named seems
a certain conqueror in the 220-yard
low hurdle event.
At least five men—Horine, Erick
son, Grumpelt, Lawrence and
Thorpe —loom equal to or better
than Alma Richards, of Utah, who
won the Olympic high jump, and
any one of them, or all, may de
feat him. Harry Babcock, of the
New York A. <?., meets a dozen men
who may beat him, in the polo
vault. Ben Adams may lick his
brother Platt in the standing jumps.
With the little darkey, Howard
Drew, of Massachusetts, entered in
the dashes, he should defeat Meyer
and Lippincott. Olympic point win
ners, in the absence of Craig. It
will be recalled that Drew sprang
a tendon in his heat of the Olympic
century and was unable to run the
final.
In the weight events things look
different. Matt McGrath, of the
Irish-Amerleans, should have little
trouble beating his opponents in
the hammer throw; Jim Dunean,
also a New Yorker, should clean
up the discus, and if Ralph Rose
fails to appear, Rabe McDonald, the
big New York policeman, ought to
walk away with the shot put.

Get Rid Os Rheumatism
Rubbing' with liniments, blistering the affected parts, the application
of plasters, and other means of external treatment, are usually helpful in
relieving the pains and aches of Rheumatism. But such treatment does
not get rid of the disease, because it does not reach its source. Rheuma
tism comes from an excess of uric acid in the blood. This acid circulating
through the system acts as an irritant to the nerves, musclesand joints,
and produces the inflammation and swelling, and sharp cutting pains char
acteristic of the troublf. When the blood is overburdened with uric acid
it continually grows thinner and more acrid, and
poorer in nourishing qualities. Then Rheumatism
Us gjHrX becomes chronic and not only a painful but a dan-
JBMiilhiiain g tlousi disease. You can get rid of Rheumatism
/ fPI I i'V purifying the blood with S. S. S. This vege-
I j table remedy goes into the circulation, neutralizes
1 fe&gp / a, ’d removes the uric acid, and by building up the
thin, Sour blood, safely and surely cures the disease.
S. S. makes rich, nourishing blood, which quiets
excited nerves, eases the painful muscles and joints
and filters out every particle of irritating uric acid
from the system. Book on Rheumatism and any medical advice free to all

Yost Favors Changes Made in Football Rules
Four Downs Will Be Big Aid to Light Elevens
By Fielding 11. Yofct.
Coach Michigan Football Team.
Nashville, tenn., sept. 14.
A':er careful consideration
O: the new code, I do not
see that a rule was added or
changed by the football rules com
mittee that v.iil not be for the
betterment of the. game.
The rules have been materially
simplified so far as they affect the ’
actual play upon the field. For,
while but few changes have been
made that vitally affect the game,
there has been a decided lessen
ing of the complexity of the old
system. The committee, in my
opinion, has at last reached the
sought-after combination -that of
saving the player and the play.
Under the system of 1911 the
"break" of the game, v inch em
brace s flukes ami chance plays,
was "a per cent of the scoring re
sult. Under tile present cede, these
elements of chance will not go be
yond U. per cent, and. in the pro
portion that luck has been elimi
nated. science, speed, versatility
and power have been given their
chance to shape results.
The changes, as I view them, will
not work against the smaller and
’-•w- ■ w aMMtwn-'■»*mEo«amnaana»BW*rrniw ■■ tvonrvMMvw-w
lighter teams of ability. The
granting of four downs and the
right to make a forward pass for
any distance and for ten yards in
goal have given the lighter team a
better chance to win on its merits
than this team ever held under the
previous rules. Under the old reg
ulations it was almost impossible
for a light team to gain consist
ently by rushing the ball, and so
they were forced almost entirely to
open field work.
Heavier and stronger teams,
finding a close defense unneces
sary, were able to shift back and
thus easily block this open field
play. As the rules now stand, the
heavier team will he forced to con
centrate its defense more than be-
