rEW 1920 FOOTBALL GUIDE SHOWS
ONLY IMPORTANT RULE CHANGE
IS SWITCH IN TOUCHDOWN GOAL
tUE
JBT to prove that football 1b about to stcD into tlic
picture and grab the opotlight for the next three
months, .Take Gray comes to bat with an announcement
that the official football guide for 1H20, published by
Spalding s, now Is rendy for perusal and will make Tcry
'interesting summer reading. This volume alnnys Is wcl
corAe at this time of the year, for It given the players,
coaches, officials nnd fans a chance to get all of the dope
and get away to a (lying !tnrt.
There have been few changes in the playing code, only
one being what could be called Important. The goal after
touchdown will be kicked from n spot directly in front of
the goal posts, whether the ball was downed under the
posts or at the extreme corner of the field. This docs
away with the punt out and tries at difficult angles. It
also places more value on the touchdown, as it gives the
team making a hard light down the field and finally push
Ing the ball over, the same chnnec as the team which
(cored on u fluke or a long run.
When a man picks up u fumble and runs for a touch
down, he nlwa.it downs the ball under the goal posts.
Thus, the trv for gnnl i quite easy. However, If a team
tets inside the gM'-jnrd line and the defense stiffens, a
touchdown Is likcl to be made any place along the goal
line. Thus, the fluke play has bad the advantage up to
this year.
Changing the rule N n good thing for the game. It will
do ava with u lot of 7 to tl scores and make the games
more even. Tor example, lust vear Pittsburgh and Wash
ington and .Trfferon plajed n hard game, each side scoring
a touchdown. Pitt's, try at goal was an easy one, but W.
and J. kicked from a difficult ungle and missed. Tenn lost
to Dartmouth because a goal was missed and hundreds of
I thcr games were decided the iamc waj.
OF COVKSF, many goals will be mated next
fall despite the change in the rulei. but the
teims tctll hare an equal chance and there can be no
hard lurk storiri after the game.
Defines Man in Motion
j.;T AST year marked the development of n many shift
tfjl-Jplays that a rule defining a man in motion was in--Ktferted.
,r The HeUman shift, winch put Georgia Tech on the
Jnnp, the Dartmouth shift and the quick changes used by
Princeton. Pittsburgh. Syracuse and others, made this
-accessary.
A However, there is likely to be some confusion until an
''official interpretation is made. Here is the explanation in
the book :
"Both the referee and the linesman are to be charged
with the dutv of watching a man in motion before the ball
is put Into pla. This has been rendered necessary by the
great development of shift plays.
"Another rule bearing upon this is that when a player,
In making a shift, comes to his position, he must have
both feet stationary on the ground."
Nothing Is said about a player who jumps forward and
'lands on both feet, but his body still Is moving. This is
quite n common occurence in shift plays, and a lot of
coaches will try to prove that off side cannot be called
because the feet were stationary. The rules distinctly say
that "at the moment when the ball is put in play, no
ny KOnETtT W. MAXWELL
Sporta Editor of the I'rrnlng Pnhlle ledger
ployer of the side which has the ball shall be In motion,
except that one man may be In motion directly or ob
liquely towards his own goal line or line extended."
If a man is allowed to start the body before the ball Is
snapped he will have a big advantage in getting away
quickly. Therefore, this new rule should be mado clear at
the Interpretation meeting next month.
Kostern colleges will keep a close watch on the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania this -ear because of the change In
coaches. John W. Helsman has come up from the South
with n new system, and it's n cluch he will use It. Hels
man believes In shift plays, and before the season Is over
is likely to have eleven men hopping around before the
ball is put into play. He uses the single nnd double shift
and it will bo difficult to have nil of the men come to u
complete stop before the pigskin Is passed. The "both
feet on the ground" .rule will have its test at Franklin
Field.
THIS, and the abolition nf the puntout, arc the
principal changes for 1920.
!'o Clipping Alloivcd
LAST year In the Harvard-Princeton game a substi
tution was made by Coach Itoper. nnd It is said the
wrong man left the game. Much argument followed, but
the ruling of Iteferee l.angford was upheld.
This year It has been ruled that after a player has
reported to the proper official and the change has been
made, the substitution shall be considered completed.
All of which means that If Smith tells the referee he
is to take the place of Jones nt left halfback and Jones
leaves the game, he. meaning Jones, must stay out whether
the coach made a mistake or not.
Clipping will not be tolerated. It is to be ruled under
unneccs.sarj roughness and will nppl whether the ball Is
dead or not if done to a rann who Is obiiotHj out of the
play.
Another good ruling Is on the mun making n forward
pass. Heretofore, it was permissible to treat him roughly
after the ball left bis hand, but now a stunt like that
shall be penalized as unnecessary roughness. It has taken
a long time to get this rule in the book, and believe u, it
was needed.
A few tcchincalltles are cleared up as to the point of
infliction of penalities. The penalty for u man starting
before the ball is put in play is measured from the point
of the scrimmage and tlie penalty for n man thrown wl--n
out of bounds is measured from the point where the run
ner crossed the sideline.
Time Is taken out on a forward pass from the time It
has become incompleted until play starts again.
If, In the opinion of the official, a false starting signal
is used on a play designed to draw the opponents off side,
the official may demand that the play be made over again.
The rule regarding a fair catch signal is changed to
read "prior to attempt to catch the ball," instead of
"while advancing toward the ball."
A touchdown still counts six points. The side making
the touchdown, no matter where It is made, may bring the
ball out straight in front of the goal.
THAT football is to have a great year is shown in
the schedule of games. More than 1500 college
and 1000 high school contests already are listed.

IS TOKEEP STRIDE
Reversals of Form Have Marked Sports This Season.
Hagen and Barnes Examples Giants and White
Sox Also-Pace Setting Hard1 Job
' '
By OltANTLAND IUCE
A PINK-TINTED beginning and n
victorious finish nre not always
directly connected.
It is always well enough to get away
neatly, but with n long stretch In front
of you this swift starting stuff may
work with backspln or rcvorso English.
There Is tho case of Jim Barnes and
Walter Hagen.
Early last spring they were In n class
beyond much competition. Hagen was
open champion nnd Barnes professional
champion.
Barnes finished fifth In the British
open, nnd Hogun, after n bad splash
there, von tho Metropolitan open again.
Bornea Hagen nnd no ono 'else.
But what about subsequent details?
Hagen finished well out in the Into
open and Barnes was promptly deposed
in too i'. u. a. championship, uotn
lost their main title without making it
close.
And as they faded out Jock Hutchi
son, playing badly early in the spring,
steps f6rward vlth easily tho best rec
ord of the rear western champion,
only one stroke out In the open chnm
pldnshlp, and now professional cham
pion at match .play.
Jock bad the stow start and the pink
finish. And It's whero they nil happen
to be at tho finish that usually settles
the arguments. They rarely pay off on
starts.
Another Example
TTrOUR ball clubs held most of the
" Interest through the first three
months of the pennant race.
Cincinnati nnd Brooklyn were fit-lit-
Ing out the National Leaguo champion
ship, with Cleveland and New York In
n hnmmerlock for the American League
pennant.
No great amount of attention was
paid to the Olants nnd White Sox. The
Giants played lop-cared ball for the first
two months, whllo the Sox lagged well
behind.
Through May, June nnd early July
neither club figured In any world scries
argument.
They may not meet in a world scries
now, but they arc no longer negligible
factors. In spite of their ragged start,
what other two clubs carry a stronger
chance? " ,
THERE'S a reason, as the snppy
saying goes. Ileachlng top form for
one set affair Isn't eo hard.
But vfjere n long all-season drive
must be faced the problem of reachlnc
nnd holding forhi Is the hardest assign
ment on tho map. Cleveland booked to
outclass the league ns far back as last
March. But March and October are
many gray leagues apart In sport.
Hagen nnd Bnrnes begah training for
the British championship back in Feb
ruary. By August neither looked to be
the same golfer.
Yenrs ngo West Point ivent out to
beat Ynlo early In October. By train
ing for this bnttlo the Armv team
trimmed the Bulldog consistently. But
having reached winning form early In
October, tho same team was unusually
easy picking for the Navy.
You can't hold top form Indefinitely.
A ball igamo won in April and earlv
Mny Ig as valuable as a ball game
won In September, but clubs leading the
league lu April or early Mny rarely win
pennants.
It's a tldv Idea to start setting the
pace In n 100-yard dash. But when
it comes to n ten-inlle race the pace
setter gets the worst of it.
Tilden's Cao
TILDEN faces this same problem at
Forest Hills next vcek in the turf
tennis championship.
Ho reached spectacular form two
months ngo. Ho vfts nt his best In the
British championship. Add nt his best
he is next to Invincible.
Can he return to his best again for
another big wedlt? It is neither ear
to hold top form nor to ease away anil
then come back in the same year. It
may be that he has turned the trick or
that his tennis genius Is sufficient to
tnke him safely through.
Johnston was hnrdly nt his best cither
ut Wimbledon or nt Newport. He seemi
to come nlong grndunlly until tho week
of the big event over here, at which
point he, too, becomes close to invin
cibility. Tho fact that he was beaten once or
twice before may work in his favor
through the week of the main carnival

ei"ryrADE in Philadelphia" are stamps
-' to be put on' boxers In this city
this fall if the plans of the National
A. A. are carried through. Following
n meeting of directors of the Eleventh
street arena yesterday it was announced
that the 1020-21 policy of this organi
zation would be to glvo local talent
preference in the arrangement of its
shows. Instead of putting two out-of-,
town boxers in the same contest, tho
National promoters will endea,or to
have a Philly mittman In each bout.
Another feature of the National this
season, according to Charley Bell, will
.be to stage a scries of intercity tourna
ments. Boxers from rsew lork, Titts
burgh, Baltimore, Cleveland nnd Chi
cago will be brought here for competi
tion with teams of Philadelphia fist
dingers.
Saturday, September 18, has been de
cided upon as the date for the Na
tional's reopening. The arrangement
of this club's program is still unde
cided, but it Is probable that four six
rounders and a feature eight-rounder
will compose tho weekly card.
Frank ("Pop") O'Brien ngain will
be the mntchmaker. The referee ques
tion still is open, while officers for the
ensuing year were elected as follows :
John F. Powell, president; Joseph
Fletcher, vice president and secretary;
Harry T. Donagby, treasurer, nnd Wil
liam H. Rocap and Charles E. Bell, di
rectors. Denny Leonard's flftccn-round referee's,
decision bout with Eddlo Pltzelmmona at tho
Madison Square Garden haa baen act back
from eSptember 17 until the 27th, according
to a report today. We have It on pretty
Kood authority that thla contest never will
be held In New York, There la some hitch
from the Fit! end of the contest mostly
Danny Morgan.
Johnny McOulcan's hands are beginning to
Itch. This dapper youth has been prac
ticing with cardboards for several days get
ting Into condition for tho beginning of the
sale of ticket for the reopening of the
aCmden Sportmen'a Club. The admission
pasteboards will be ready for distribution
on Monday morning.
