FIND FLAWS IN THE CODE
v '
Gridiron Season Reviewed From Technical
Viewpoint at Meeting in Hotel Walton Will
Make Recommendations to Rules Committee
. .' By ROBERT
WHEN the Football Rules Committee
holds Its nnnual session In New
York a few weeks hence the playing code
will he closely" 'scrutinized nnd mljriy
changes made In the game, for 1918, Many
i,, errors nnd vague rui
Ings were round in
the 1913 code at n
meeting of footbnll
ofnclalB nt Hotel Wal
ton last nlKht, nnd
the gridiron solons
will he naked to
Straighten things out
before next season
For the first time
In history the lending
footbnll coaches nnd
nlTlctnls residing In
and near 1'hllndelphla
held n post-seoBon
conference and dis
cussed the Intricate
Plays that came up in
the games this fall.
Heretofore n meeting
was called before the
I Beason began, but It
n. W. MAXWKI.li was deemed advis
able to get the men together while the
game wns fresh In their minds. Twenty
five omclnls attended, nnd the meeting
wns a success In every way.
Chnrles J. McCnrty, of fjermantown.
presided, and soon after he called the
meeting to order It wns discovered that
a numher of ptnys cropped up Inst tail
that were not fully covered In the rules.
The first Important discussion arose over
the rule which protects the kicker. I.nst
full many penalties were given for run
ning Into the player after he kicked tho
ball, and the question arose as to how
long Is n player n kicker and when does
he ceuse to become one?
HOUGHING I'H.VALTV.
According to tho rules, nn opponent Is
penalized If he knocks the punter nif
his feet, whether It Is Intentional or
not. It Is easy to give tho penalty
while the kicker's foot still Is In tlia
air, but come doubt nroso as to whether
It would be right to enforce the penalty
after both feet are on tjie ground nnd
the punter had taken one step forward.
Chnrles Price, of Swarthmorc, and A.
S. Tyler, of Princeton, held that ns soon
as tho kicker took one step forward he
ceased to become a kicker, and could be
"clipped" or knocked oft his feet by the
opponents. They contended thnt the
player then wai a tackier, nnd no pen
alty could he enforced. This wns the
consensus of opinion, and the Hulis Com
mittee will be asked to make the ruling
clear.
I'Vcd Glllendor, of Penn, who conches
Bt. Luke's nnd officiates In many of the
big Literu games, declared thnt the
rules .were violated In every big game
played lust fall, and tho offenders got
away with It. He rend rule 9, section
1, which states that the backllcld men
must be nt lenst one yard behind tho
line of scrimmage when the bnll is put
Into play, the only exception being tho
mnn who stands behind the centre and
tlrst receives the ball. Thnt mcirnt thnt
the quarterback could crouch behind his
centre nnd remain In the one-yard zone,
provided ho got the ball on the snap
back. It was shown that tho quarterback In
many plays simply held his hands out
and the ball was passed to the fullback.
In cases of n forward pass, the quarter
would slldo through the centre of the
lino and the ball was thrown to him This
wns one of the best plays used by Wash
ington and Jefferson against Yale; Prince
ton, Harvard, Dartmouth and others nlso
used It, but not once wns It "called." It
Is against the rules as It Is now worded
and a clearer Interpretation Is asked.
MCCARTY'S SUGGESTION'.
Chairman McCarty brought up n ques
tion which Is not covered In the rules.
Rule 18, section 1. states thnt a ball passed
out of bounds by the snapperback before
It touches n player on his side, the ball
shall go to the opponent nt the spot where
It crossed the side line. McCnrty cited
a case where the ball was on the offen
sive team's two-yard line, near the side
line. It was fourth down nnd the ball
was passed out of bounds behind the goal
line. This gave the ball to tho other team
behind the opposing goal line. Of course,
this has been ruled a safety, but there
Is nothing In the rules which prevents
It being called a touchdown. McCarty
asked that the Rules Committee Insert
a word In the rule clearing up the point
nd say that It 1b a safety.
Tho rule which says that nn incom
pleted forward pass behind the goal line
Is n safety was attacked by James A.
Moffett, of Princeton. Moffett pointed out
that In all other cases nn Incompleted
pass results In the loss of n down and
tho ball is brought back to the spot where
It was put Into play. He declared that
the rule should be enforced behind the
goal line the same as In the middle of
the field and was upheld by the other
otllclals. This, too, will be put up to
the Rules Committee.
In one of the games last fall, a punt
out was made, and the man catching
the ball fell to the ground. The ball
touched In the Held of play and the try
for goal was allowed. It was held that
the fair catch had been made, and the
touching of the ball to the ground did
not Interefere with the try for goal. The
officials wera of the opinion that no try
for goal should be allowed, and asked
for a definite ruling on what constitutes a
fair catch T
Down South they have many peculiar
plays, and a college in West Virginia
pulled the funniest one of the year. There
waa a big tackle on the team, and'ivery
time his side got close to the opponents'
goal line he would dash across and stand
there with his hands on his hips. Then
an end would climb on his shoulders and
while there receive a forward pass- The
play was worked several times, and It
was dltticutt to get a ruling. Dr. Jack
Keough held that It was a clear case of
assisting the runner and a 15-yard pen
alty should be Inflicted. The others,
however, held different views, and the
question was left open until the rules
committee had a chance to act.
Here Is another one for the solons to
puzzle over, A fullback standing behind
jila own goal-line received the ball from
the snapper-back and fumbled. Instead
of picking up the ball, however, he kicked
It. What Is the ruling?
Another peculiar play wa Introduced
by Charles Price. Mr. Price did not
state where it was used, but It Is as fol
lows The team wtli the ball slgnald
for a place kick. Everybody got the slg-

nat but the kicker, nnd when the ball
wns snapped, he dashed around the end.
Ill the meantime, the quarterback wns
holding the bnll on- the ground waiting
for some one to bbot It. Tho oppoilnb
linemen broke through nnd one, seeing
the bait held In position, kicked It In
stead of falling on It, In a ense llko
this, is it legal to kick the ball?
GROUND RUIiKS.
Tho ofTlclnls advocated a sot of ground
rules to be used when the crowd gets
on the fle!d. They favored n lullng
which given the bnll to the shlo last
touching It before It goes out of bounds.
This will save many Injmlcs, ns the
players who crnsh Into the crowd or a
fin eo to get the bounding ovn niton
times nre seriously hurt. It also wns
suggested that n blocked punt behind
the Bonl lino shall count ns n sarcty If
the ball goes Into the crowd.
Gus Sileglor nimle nn eloquent plc.i
for more penalties for fouls committed
behind the goal line. "In n gnmo that
I witnessed Inst year," said Gus, "the
star player on one team made n touch
down. While he wns on the ground
one of the opposing linemen Jumped on
him. The star wns carried out of the
game and the lineman disqualified.
Knch side lost n tnnn, but one mirrored
more than the other. There wns no dis
tance penalty.
SEVEIlt: PENAI.TV.
"Now, I believe n team doing a stunt
llko thnt should be severely punished. We
all know thnt some coaches send In a
substitute early In the gnmo with In
structions to get Into a fight with the best
player on the opposing team. If both
men are disqualified, the coach sends In
his regular player, while the other side
Uses a substitute This practice should
be stopped and In case of rough play be
hind the goal line, the offenrlng sldo
should either be forced to put the bnll
Into play on Its own 10-yard line, or give
the bnll to the offended side on tlte op-'
ponent'a 33-yard line."
It wns ruled that the timekeepers should
use better watches In the game, the
watches to be furnished by the home
team. In case the watch falls to work,
and tho timekeeper doesn't discover It
until the game has been In progress for
sonto time. It wns suggested thnt the
officials get together and decide on tho
length of time that has elapsed. This Is
another Job for the Rules Committee.

Annual Penn Intcrclass Clash Has
Been Delayed
Ilecause tho game hns been delayed so
long the annual football scrap between
the University of Pennsylvania freshmen
nnd sophomores Is in danger of going to
one class or the other by defnult. Tho
sophs wanted to play the gnmo the week
following the Cornell match, but the
freshles asked more time.
Another week was lost by Inability to

'. THE OWEN MAGNETIC
"The Car of a Thousand Speeds"
THE announcement that the Owen Magnetic is to be sold in Philadelphia will
appeal to those who appreciate all that is high grade in motor car construction.
We fully expect to duplicate the success attained in New York, where owners
will be found amongst families of social leadership, great captains of industry,
bankers, and in fact among all thinking people who realize the great advances ac
complished by the elimination of the objectionable gear shift and troublesome clutch,
making possible a simplicity of construction, ease of operation and a wonderful flex
ibility hitherto unknown; furthermore, every car possesses an individuality that
does away with the dull monotony of duplication.
We have on view seven and five-passenger touring cars, runabouts and inside drives,
and a little later we will have ready for delivery limousines and landaulets by
America's leading coach builders. To insure a demonstration we ask those who are
interested to kindly phone us, making an appointment.

willingness to accept tho proposition Is
not known. It Is generally believed that
the International Lenguo circuit Is to bo
changed so thnt half tho magnates will bo
taken care of In Harrow's League, while
the rest will buy Into organized bnll.
The National League magnntcs havo
consented to tho purchnslng of stock In

and the American League will allow two
others to buy tho controlling Interest. The
Nntlonnl Lenguo clubs which arc to havo

will be allowed to purchnsu nn Interest
In the Plrntcs, nlthough Rnrney Dreyfuss

Just what will become of President

NEW YORK, Dec. 15. Pat Mornn
Blgnd a thr-year contract to manngo
tho Phillies this afternoon. Tho terms
wcro not nnonunced, but it Is said that
the salary Is $10,000 a year. Muran
would not discuss the figures, but Pres
ident nnker admitted that "n very hand
some Increase In salary had been given
to Moran."
Peace plans with tho Federals nro like
ly to hit a snag when It comes time to
purchaso Interests In National Lcaguo
ball clubs. It Is said that Rrltton, of
St. Louis, nnd Taft, who owns tho Chi
cago club, havo placed n prohibitive
price upon their holdings. It Is believed
that tho samo condition prevails In the
American Lengue.
While peaco rumors are flying thick
and fast and tho magnates nro awaiting
news from Barney Dreyfuss' trip to Chi
cago, where ho Is conferring with tho
American League owners, there is n wild
scramble for the stars In the third or
ganization. Pat .Moran Is said to be after
tho services of Leo Magee, nnd others
nre In the market.
Players who only broke, reserve clauses
will bo taken back Into tho fold, it Is
said, but iron-clad contract Jumpers will
be barred. Benny Kauff, of tho Tip Topsr,
nnd Hal Chase, of Buffalo, are said to
be blacklisted.
Gilmore May Be Made
President of Chicago
Gubs if Details Can
Be Properly Settled
tho stock In the Chicago Cubs wilt bo
turned over to Charles Weeghman and
William Walker, backers of tho Chicago
Feds. Wceghmann nnd "Walker want
President Gllmorc, of the Feds, to be
made head of tho Cubs, but whether Oil
more will accept or be agreed upon by

certainty Is duo to tho nhlmoslfy Ban
Johnson holds against the Feds' great
leader.
Phil Ball, principal backer of tho St.
Louis Feds, has received nn exceltcnt
proposition from Mr. nnd Mrs. Schuyler
I'. Hrltton, owners of the National Lenguo
club, which will permit him to buy a
large Interest In that club, and It Is be-
llcved that he may possibly be able to
buy the franchise outright If negotia
tions now pending nro put through.
Tho main discussion this momlng wns
whnt would become of the Federal
League players who Jumped organized
bnll. Some time ago tho announcement
wns made that the National and Ameri
can Leagues would not permit any of
theso Jumpers to return to the mnjor
leagues. At this time the Feds declared
that they would not consider any poice
plans which would not tako all of their
players who were considered nf mnjor
lenguo calibre.
It Is hard to seo how oiganlzctt ball
forces can hope to bar men llko Benny
KnufT, Davo Davenport, Ed Rousch nnd
other youngsters who merely Jumped rc
servo clauses, when final settlement Is
made. There Is not enough uvallnblo
material for thrco high-class leagues un
less tho Jumpers nro tnken In as it Is
planned to make them exempt from tho
draft.
H was said today that nn effort was
being made to get Billy Dvnns, American
Lenguo umpire, to manage one of the
International League teams after tho con
solidation, but ono magnate declared that
this was out of the question because
Dvnns hnd been virtually agreed upon

MOTOR CAR
There is abundant evidence
that this is an exceptionally
economical car.
Owners say that the gasoline
consumption is unusually
low.
When they speak of tires'
they almost invariably report
mileage records which are
remarkably high.
And there is a sound logical
reason why the car should
cost little to keep.
It is light the actual scale
weight is only 2235 pounds.
This light weight is partly
due to the use of well-designed
steel forgings; and
pressed steel parts; and the
absence of heavy castings.
The all-steel body is electric
ally welded into a unit This
gives it that stability and
rigidity which must other
wise be sought in the use of
heavy parts or bracings of
steel or wood.
The motor is 30-35 horsepowe
