Tq ?, El . I J?' PENN ATHLETES MAY SHOULD TURN LIGHT TO DARK SPOTS OF RULES ON FOOTBALL t ' - - Can Never Tell From Gridiron Code Where Scrimmage Line Should Be Formed Intricate Points Not I ' Covered in Forward-Pass Laws ' By KOBKltT f Sport. Kdltor Krrnlnr mbllc Mirr Cevvrioht, 191), by PulHe Lt&ncr Co. MOW that college football has been put on the shelf until next )car, tho only thing left to be done is change a few of the rules, rewrite some of the others and let the public and players know what the game is all' about. During the last season many intricate points came up, some of which were Jecjded correctly and others which still are in doubt. The code needs clarlfy- l(Hf and abould be revamped from cover to cover. Clearer explanations should v fce given and the intricate points explained In the simplest language. r For example, there is nothing in the rules which tells vthcrc a line of crlmmage should form. We know that seven men must be on the line of scrimmage and assume it must be formed where the ball Is declared dead by the referee, but you cannot prote It by looking In the book. I had to give a ruling on this play on two different occasions. The first was in the West Virginia-Pittsburgh contest when Hastings, after being puxlied back four yards, put the ball In play by a quick line-up nnd Davlcs scored a touchdown. The play was called back and the score not allowed because the ball was put in play four yards back of the mark made by the referee. In tho Ynle Princcton gnme, Princeton tried the same thing, and that play, too, was called back. Fortunately, the decisions were not questioned nnd a long argument was avoided. The rules should state definitely that the line of scrimmage is formed nt the spot where the ball is declared dead by the referee. Another ruling which caused lots of trouble was on n forward pass which was touched by an eligible man, caught by another, the ball bounding out of the second man's arms into those of an opponent. The rules stnte that only one man of the passer's side is eligible to get the pass if he touched it first, to the officials had to figure for themselves that the pass was incompleted if a second eligible man touched It. Therefore, the ball was dead when it reached the opponent. Some light should be thrown on this play. POOTIiATjTj officials should get together in different cities and dis cuss the intricate plays trhich came up and suggest a remedy, "irolfrr Camp, of New Haven, Conn., will be glad to assist in, nny tcny possible. Peiin State's Fortvard Pass Was Used in France TEAIt Sill Fcrhaps it will interest you to Icnru that Pcnu State's forward - pass from behind its own goal probably was suggested by the success of a Imllar play last February In the fourth and deciding game between Jho Twenty -eighth (Keystone) and Fifth Divisions at Toul, France. A former Penn State player, "Bull" Taeger, was an assistant conch of the Keystone team nnd several of its players performed in collegiate ranks this fall, among them being Wickersham, of Washington nnd Jefferson, who wns responsible for the pass being attempted. ' Tho series of games I refer to were unique in football annals. They were ataged as part of the elimination series to determine the championship of the Second Armv. The first game was played at Colombey-lcs-ISnllcs, on the Twenty-eighth Division's grounds. The second was played nt Luxemburg on the royal race-course. The third and fourth games were btaged on neutral grounds at Toul. The first three games were scoreless, the third again violat ing football custom by going an extra period in an cfTort to decide the issue. Ihe final game was won by the score of 3 to 0. In the final game the Peunsylvanians were forced.down the field and took "the ball on downs within a few yards of their goal. A kick was attempted, but was blocked on an offside play. The team quickly lined .up the Wickcr- . ikm, acting field captain, called for the pass. Ho received the ball nnd the catcher made 40 yards before being forced out of bounds, the catch having been made on the extreme side of the field. Before the Fifth could recover from the surprise the bail had been rushed to within kicking distance, when field goal settled the suspense. The Twenty-eighth played strenuous football during the elimination series, finally meeting the Seventh Division for the army championship. Although this game went without a score, it was awarded to the Seventh after a count howed that it had advanced the ball 37 yards further than the Keystone team, including runs, kicks nnd passes. In that manner a team lost the cham pionship without having been scored on in nine nnd a fraction games. , FOUR of the games were played in fourteen days another point in favor of the hard-working I'cnnsylvanians.

Safely and Touchback Still Cause Arguments rnO SETTLE a few arguments, the following questions and nnswers are Eh'' - nrlntoH ns n finale to the football season : Team A has the ball in Us possession on Us own 1-jnrd line. The ball "" is passed to one of the backs, 'who immediately touches it down behind his goal line, claiming a touchbnek, under which his team would have the privi- ' lege of taking the ball o'ut to the 20-yard line nnd there putting the ball in i iay. How about it? li is a safety because the impetus which sent the ball over the line came from the team defending the goal. ' In case of an onsidr kick, the quarterback kicks the ball when the hnlf baqk )s three yards behind him, which puts him onside. Tho ball goes over the goal line, where it is recovered by the onside man. Nobody touched the tial! In the field of play before it crossed the goal line. Is il a touchdown or a touchback? Tt is a touchback. Had the ball been touched in the field of play by an 2 ..m .An m.mm ... iJ hu rnn,wYpA Till T,i J K.I.0.UV fill. ...li ,(. ...,. v. , v- "( . .... v ., ... u v"u iv I. HUHIU u l t resulted. The rule says: "It is a touchback when a kicked ball, other than a kick-off, free kick or one scoring a goal from the field, goes over the goal line before being touched by a player of either side." "When, the ball is kicked over the goal line on a kick-on"," writes P. W. 31.; of Hazlewood, Pa., "and a player on the kicking side falls on the ball, is t a touchdown or a touchbnek?" It is a touchdown because everybody on the kicker's side teas onside. Here's another: I.Tenm A kicks from behind its goal line. Team B i blocks the kick and a member of Team A falls on the ball behind the line. '5 ' '-'. What would be the ruling if Team A punted from behind the goal ." )ine and the ball bounded back from the goal post and declared dead in the possession of Team A? i It would be a safely in both instances. In regard to the kick trhich teas htcked by an opponent, the rule says: ehtred dead behind the goal line ichile f't&dt provided the impetus comes from HH opponent " GARRY COMING EAST Herrmann Denies Discussing Purse fqr Third Teams in 1919 riace Chicago., Dec. 0, August Herrmann, of Cincinnati, chairman of the National Commission, who has been In confer ence here with President B.

Threa Veterani JIcNichol, Captain Peck tfnd George Sweeney arc the three veterans, and Coach Lon .Tourdct depends on this trio mainly to carry him along. Sweeney at forward ranks with the best in the game. He is tho most accurate foul shootcr produced in college circles in recent jcars. Peck is n guard par-excellent, and with JIcNichol as a running mate it is safe to say that tho Red and Blue will have one of tho best defensive quintets in the league.

After the game against Do Ncri Hoi--man said it was practically impossible for him to reach this city nny sooner thnn 0 :30 p. in. This is on "account of his duties as coach of the Collcgo of tho City of New York. He made a great hit with the fans in the initial clash and his playing was really 'f.ensatlonal. He is noted as a wonderful shot and in IiIr initial Vlnsli, many of his shots were running around the rim, but he managed to register one of the most sensational ever seen in t,he league. Pofh Makes Trip Frank Poth, oue ot the owners of the Germantown club, has spent the last two days in New York with Hol man nnd on his return ho announces that Nat will be here on time every Tuesday evening, as everything has been fixed up lovely. Another player that is due to push Germantown higher in the percentage column is Garry Schmeclk, the former Jasper forwnrd. Tho big boy made his initial appearance on Tuesday evening nnd .demonstrated that he has lost none of his nbility ns a shot. He Is also one of the best team work ers in the league and never sacrifices a pass to a teammate to take a stab at the net himself.

C. Stronger Than During an Average Year IN THE SronTLIGHT By GltANTJOAND ItUCR (Cowrtpht, mis, aU rtehii restrvit) An Old One, Revamped (Upon approaching the "New Year) - ire are crowded on The Wagon, Evert oul too dry to speak; -Vo a chance to grab a flagon, . N i Not a chance to find a leak. ' Out the long and dusty highway K They have copped our bleating goats; " Out the dull and dustu dn) teau. With a drouth upon our throats. Oh, tee used to jump The Wagon In the good old days of yore, i , But they.'ve chained ut, with a tag on, And we'll ride fori evermore. V ' ' , From the West THE football season may be over, but the autumnal impetus liaBn't faded out yet. Along this line we havd a brief message from Fielding H. Yost, of Michigan, that will help to mnke gossip for some of the Stove Leagu6 oratory that still prevails through fervid discussions upon the past campaign. Hero are a few extracts : "I believe the Conference teams were fully CO per cent stronger this season than during an average year, This is due to the fact that nearly all these teams had from three to eight men returned after two years' football experience on bcrvice teams. For example, Ohio State had eight of last year's varsity men on the side lines because better men had returned to take their places. UJCCINOIS had an all-Western center and her captain and fullback on the bench." ' " T SAW more good football this season than nny one year In my experience, -L At Michigan we expected twelve regular .'MVtnen back, but nono of them were available this fall. Eight were ineligible nnd the other four did not return to college. il'TIIIS, of course, wrecked any chance we might have had, the situation being a very unusual one. Boost for Oss ' mlIIS kid Oss, at Minnesota," continues Yost, "is one of the greatest -L football players I have ever seen. He has a track record ot 49 2-C for the quarter, is nn nil-western basketball man, and weighs ISO pounds. lie is a marvel of the first degree. "Ralph Fletcher, of Illinois, had n unique season, a record breaker in one way. ne scored all ten points in the Minnesota game, kicked a .goal from placement In scrimmago in Iowa, Chicngo, Wisconsin, Minnesota nnd Michigan games. Two of these kicks won important games. Here are five straight kicks in five straight games without a miss. " a H'VIIIB is one example from this most remarkable year. The re v turned service men hare been great assets to the various teams, . for in the main fheir play has been magnificent." YOST drew a tough break in losing twelve varsity men in one season who were slated to return, just as Michigan wns re-entering the Conference nftcr more than a dozen yenrs wandering up and down the outside. But one cnu , never tell just where the whirlpool of fnte will operate next. Concerning Michael Donahue DOWN nt Auburn,, Ala., there is a quiet, serious Irishman by the name of Mike Donahue? Mike picked up his football at Yale in the old days, and most of it came from Walter Camp. Mike has stuck for some fifteen or more years to the ojd Camp, system' of complete thoroughness, nnd the result lins been a wonderful record' for hk teams. His final achievement for the year was to overthrow Georgia Tech in the closing game, when the betting against Auburn was C nnd C to 1. DONA.nvh has come nearer keeping the old Tale system alive, with the modern game woven in, than any other man tee Know. - IF THE same- impetus Is maintained for another year no ball player will be admitted to the American-League unless he has had at least three years of law.
