Football lawmakers, coaches and

gridiron rules to some extent at thelr
Interpretative meeting, held the other
day in Chicago. The authorities of |
the “Big Eight” and the Missouri Val
ley conferences translated the difficult
passages in the new statutes in a
way that will make the coming games
less on the parlor order than was ex-
pected by the more conservative of
the western experts
Ihe all-day session resulted in some
what more freedom fo the forward
pass exploiters and a sof:ening of the
effects of the rigid laws in regard to
the fiving tackle. Coach Stagg of the
University of Chicago presided at the |
morning session, and Coach Williams
of Minnesota had the chair in the |
afternoon. These were the only two
western members of the national body |
present. and both contributed much |
to the discussion
Important readings of the meeting |
were those providing that the new
forward pass, which cannot be sent
more than twenty yards beyond the
line of scrimmage, and that the fly.

plays where defensive players throw
themselves into an offensive play
without grasping the runner. Other
leading interpretations concerned

CHESTY PLAYERS MAKE GOOD |
dtu
Cobb, Latham and Kelly Among Those |
of Swell-Headed Kind That
Made Good.
Ty Cobb has been reviled more than |
any other player 1 know of, writes a |
well-known New York baseball author
ity. He Is called chesty, a swell head, |
a grand stand player, a murdering
base runner, and other names enough |
for a stranger to the game of baseball |
to think the greatest ball player who |
ever lived to be a dyed-in-the-wool ruf.
flan of the worst stripe.
Now, Ty Is chesty, cocky and fresh,
but those are the qualities that make
the best ball players Cobb was the
freshest kid who ever broke into big
league class, Is what every Detroit
player says who was with the Tigers
when Cobb first joined them But it |
was that chestiness and nothing else |
that enabled him to climb to the top |
of his profession where he stands pre.
eminently now, and there will be no
one to push him off that high pinnacle
until he himself says so. p
And what is chestiness but the feel
ing one has that one is just as good
if not better than any one else in
the line of business one follows i
Cotb felt it in his youthful bones
that be was as good a player as any
one on the Detroit team and made |
good the feeling imbued in him that |
caused the expansion of chest he ia
accused of. Chestiness is one of the
most promising traits a youngster can
show, and he does not want to lose it,
either, as he gets older
Ty Cobb newer wore a No. 4 cap
{ will warrant There is only one
player that | remember of who ever
did and was a good ball player, and
that was Jack Glasscock.
Cobb's brain expands with his chest
and for the same reason. He knew
at the start and knows now that he
Is as good as they make ‘em, and,
therefore, why wouldu't he expand,
mentally and paysically?
All this knocking of Cobb, too,
comes from nothing else than pure
and unadulterated jealousy. It is a
case of sour grapes every time, i
never knew of a crackerback ball play-

low players of the Buffalo club in
1880, when he turned flip flaps from
third base to the home plate after he
made the winning hit and tally in a
1 to 0 game against the Worcesters.

1 ever saw, but In two years he was

It took me a long dime to convince
anyone that I was a good ball player.
I think the first one who ever thought
I was a great player was Cobb him
self, and because others refused to be

I was born down in Georgia and be-
gan playing the game while at school.
As 1 recall it, I always played the
same way, took all the chances there
were, and ran all the time. Lots of
people now think that is good base-
ball, but the fellows with whom I
played refused for a long time to think

our team usually was divided into
two factions, with Cobb on one sidé
