Today's, contests open the Ml!) easor. and several games are on the list.
I.ebigh lines up against Villonota at South tletlilehrin and Tom Keadj's
athletes will hnc a chance to show what they can do. Harvard meets Rates,
but that should be a walkover for the Crimson. Dartmouth will have no
trouble with Springfield Training and llrnwn orobably . ill take a fall out of
Jlhodc Island State. 1'rsinus will have a nice time plajitig Kutgcrs nt New
Brunswick.
The famous Wot Virginia I uhersii.i eleven play its fitst game of the

Willi the big league baseball season about over and the world series to
be staged as r. finale, football is ready to step in and take its place as the
major sport. All of the college teams are rounding into form, and judging
from reports there will be exceptionally strong elevens everywhere. The
coaches nre optimistic regarding the outcome of the season, and none will
admit be has not a championship aggregation. However, time will tell.

Knowledge of Football Rules Essential
A KXOWMIIKJK of the rules is one of the most necessary thing'
tv I.-.
in foot
to this feature, and
prep school athlete"
but even then they
ball. Despite this, many players pay no attention
their ignorance of the code is amazing. College and
depend unoti their roadie.-, to tell them what's what.
do not seem to grasp the important points.
In one big college game in which I officiated time had been taken out
three times by one side. A player was hurt and his captain rushed over to
him shouting: "Get on jour feet and play. Don't have time takcu out or
we will be penalized half the distance to the goal line I"
That's a common occurrence on the football field. Although the penalty
for taking out time more than three times is only two yards and the distance
to be gained remains the same, tho players usually get it mixed witli dis
qualification or something like that.
The rules arc not the easiest things in the world to interpret, but close
study will reveal many of the important points. In colleges and prep schools
the coaches attempt to drill their men on what is legal and what isn't, but
on the lots, where the kids and semipros play the game, this sometimes is ,
difficult. The code needs revision and it also should be simplified. Then
everybody would have a chance.
Here arc some importunt things to remember. There must be at least
even men on the line of scrimmage when the ball is put into play that is.
two ends, two tackles, two guards and a center. If one of the end men falls
back one yard to make the man ou the end of the line eligible for a forward
pass, one of the backfield men must take his place. A team may have as
many as ten men on the line of scrimmage but it must be seven or more.
' Starting before the ball is put into play is offside and is penalized five
yards. One man, however, is allowed to ruu toward his own goal line or
obliquely across the field before the ball is passed.
VJORWARI) pusses must be made from spot at least five jcinM
behind the center, and the backfield men eligible to catch the ball
y must be at least one yard back. If the ball is throicn out of bounds
on the first, second or third down, it is not considered completed and
goes back fn the spot of the preceding down, with the lois of one
dotal. If the ball goes out of bounds on the fourth doien, then the
ball goes to the other side at the spot of the preceding doicn.
fi More of the Complicated, Involved Code
rpHESU points are important to know at the start of a season and the
others will come later. As was said before, it takes considerable study
,to discover tho rulings in the book. Sometimes four or five definitions are
given on different pages and sometimes Jthey all agree.
Oue of the most common fouls on a football field is offside. It can be
een from the grand stands and the spectators are well acquainted with it.
"What is meant by offside';" a football coach asked an official one day.
' "Starting before the bnll is put into play," was the reply,
f "Now prove it in the rule book," Baid the coach.
An examination was made, and, strange as it may seem, that simple
explanation was nowhere to be found. Evidently it is assumed that every one
knows what offside means, for in four different places reference is made with
out one illuminating explanation.
Iu Itule 0, Section IV, offside is defined as follows: "A player is
PPFSIDR when the ball has last been touched by one of his own side
icblnd him."
f Tbnt's a highly illuminating explanation, but more is yet to come. In
Kule 0, Section II, we find that "in scrimmage no part of any player shall
1m ahead of his line of scrimmage, except in the case of the snapperiback,
who, when snapping the ball, may have his head and his hands, used in
mapping the ball, ahead of bis line of scrimmage." Another involved sen
tence, which menus that players must be behind the ball when they line up.
i Section 111 of the frame rule says: "No player of either side may cn
Vroaclt upon the neutral zone until the ball is put in play.''
ThcD, after looking through teu other sections, we find Itule 10, Section
I, tvhich states: "A player is put offside if the ball in play has last been
touched by one of his own side behind him. No player, however, may be
called offside while behind his own goal line, nor when holding the ball for
a place kick after a fair catch or n touchdown."
AFTER studying the explanations of offside what do you findt
A Nothing out involved sentences weighted down by heavy English,
explaining everything but the real meaning. It would be much better
if a rule teas substituted stating: "A player is offside if he starts
forward before the ball is put into play or lines up ahead of the ball
on the fcrimmagt line.'' 4
Revision of Rules Is Needed
THIS ih npt an attempt to criticize the rules as inaccurate and' incomplete,
for such is cot tho cane. The trouble is that the code never has been
revised. No attempt has been made to rearrange the sections or substitute
ifmplcr meanings. If any changes are made, some words arc erased and
irthers substituted. This has been done year after year, and now you can
ike vhat has happened. It's a good thing that the sport Is Indulged in mostly
W college men, because it takes a college education and then some to dig
ut the true meaning,
iia
s
it is now. mnnr things are put up to the officials. If a certain
line is made which does not satisfy the offended team the official is placed
. tn.nrh ivwitlon. If he could pull out his rule book, point to a certain
ule which covers th play in question, there would be no argument.
nEQWNERB find it difficult to master the code, and it would help
It considerably if a complete revision were maoe -next year.

They have a defense fully as strong much the lustier punch and In

than any two men on the Red roster.
Even if the Reds were stronger.in all other ways, two such men as Cicottt
and Collins In a world scries would make n vast amount of difference one
of them a power for tho defenso nnd the other not only a defensive star, but
a vital factor in the daily attnek.
EE llcds have more good pitchers, but in Qicotlc, Williams and
Kerr the Sox have enough pitchers to handle eight or nine aames.
i The three of them could pitch the entire nine games without over-
j exertion.
J No Easy Victory
"DUT. there will be no slaughter. In fact, we look for tho llcds to put up a
I -- much stronger fight than the early dope might Indicate. In 1017 the Sox

I for tho pennant, the Reds bent tho Giants eight games out of eleven, an even
better showing.
, Moran has a better club today than he had in 1015, when he sent his

i VOU might say this is quite sufficient to make the result an easy
M cinch. 'But it isn't.
The Red Chance
AND for this reason Moran lias one of thoso well-balanced machines that
can be counted upon to play good, hard baseball.
lie is fairly certain to get good pitching nt every start. He has a club
that will fight back with all it has to give. It has fought hard all the year,
and When 'it met the Giants in two vital scries there was nothing to it the
Reds tore in nnd swept them off their well-spiked feet.
Tho Reds outclass tho remainder of the Nationnl League by a much wider
margin than the White Sox outclass the remainder of the American.
.
rpnESE impressions are offered to remove the idea which so many
seem to have that the Box will have a romp. For they won't.
The Sox should win through greater power, but only after a good,
hard scrap.
The Jump Game
THE club winning the first game and thereby obtaining the jump has nearly
always predominated in these post-season championships.
That first affair means more than a llttlo 'Where there arc only a few
games to play.
If the Reds can topple Cicotte In that first battle they will have Chicago
backers more than a trifle harassed. A start of that sort would give the
Reds a moral Impetus of incalculable value.

CICOTTE will only be beaten in one 0 those 1-0 or Z-l affairs.
isn't going to yield more than one or two runs.
Won't Hurt the Sox
77e
THE nine-game series isn't going to affect Chicago's chances. The exten
sion shpuld make little difference to cither club, except in n financial way.
As long as Gleason has three pitchers to bank on, Cicotte nnd Williams
can both pitch three games nnd still draw sufficient rest, although Cicotte will
be better nt the start thnn later on, ns he is no longer in his pichlug prime.
The Sox, on form, should win. A fast ball club that can bat nbovc .2S0
for the season, with three good pitchers nnd 11 stroug supporting defentt,
will have nothing lacking when it comes to the test.
BUT it should be one of the best series of many years icclJ fought
and well played from start to finish. For it is a meeting of class
a meeting between the best club in the American League and a club
that has rushed the remainder of the Rational League off its balance.

Have You made
this, discovery ?
TV If ANY men found that-mount-
JLYJL mg prices were cutting into
their favorite smokes. The quality
they demanded was going out of
sight in price.
Thousands of these men have
turned to Little Bobbies. They're
only slightly smaller than the or
dinary cigar. And the quality is
all there.
It's this slight Hecrease in size
that makes a price of 7 c possible.
You get a mighty big aoc worth
when you buy 3 Little Bobbies.
Have you made this discovery?
