GRID CODE SHOULD BE ALLOWED

Sport UlUr Hi mine Tnbllc Ledger
TniS U the open ncnuon for changing tbc football ru1.
livery coach and playi.r tf.m to have a gtiKgeaUon to
improve the same, all of whlrh l carefully filed away
-with other MigZ'-'tluns of the past. Sldotn do they ee
the light of day.
, The football rules rhouid b allowed to remain an 1.
, Ko changex air needed, but a IW points should b? clarl
' IW. Tlic public Is perfectly satisfied and tlie players are
tyrjclnnin; to learn trhnt it is all about. However, some
qf the cumbersome tenteiirfg should be ironed out and
addition uiuu in the prpsent rode. After studylns the
rulo book, It Ik eay to co why the same is popular in the
colleges. It requires u college education to understand the
laws and regulations.
Borne time this month the Mlons will convene to talk
things over. They will listen respectfully to all surges
tlons and at the end will rectify a feu tirpographlenl errors
and hand un the snme bunch of -bylaws as last year. All
Of which' is perfectly proper.
The forward past seems to bs in for n toush session.
.Suggestions hae been made to allow no pass of creator
'distance than fifteen yard", allow onl six to be tried in
"ach period und rule all grounded passes behind the lino
of scrimmage the same as a fumble or blocked kirk.
The first two ranimt b considered, but the last one.
.Vbich was suggested by IWy Haughton, has possibilities.
jt It were adopted the defense would have to use n man
to protect the passer and the wild heaves which are used
,"t the end of the game done away with. More ncientlfic
pawing would result and this naturally would help the
fame. This uould not be a drastic change and the solons
- should consider It seriouly.
Coach Zupke, of the University of Illinois, came out
the other day with an idea to discount the recovery of
'fumbles. He said the man who is out of the scrimmage
and takes no chanees should not be allowed to gain fame
by scooping up the bounding oval and carrying it across
the goal line for a touchdown. H saja the man who
tuually makes such a gain lags behind and is a loafer.
TniH suggestion is foolish. It is seldom that
everybody gets into scrimmage and it takes a
tride-awake player to tiki advantage of the errors
of the other side. Joe Bcheerer won the Yale game
in 1010 tehrn he recovered a fumble, and Sum White
carved his name in the hall of fame ichen he con
verted fumbles into victories over the Blue and
Harvard. These men are considered heroes at
Princeton not loafers.
Dr. Lambeth Has Good Idea
OTHER proposed changes could be mentioned, but they
arc not worth considering. The game is too popular
to be tampered with and should be let alone.
However Dr. Lambeth, of the University of Mrginia.
had a good 'idea when he said that something should be
done to let the spectators know when a safety had been
cored. Under th; present rules the ball is brought out
to the 2-yard line and put in play the same as after a
touchback. Dr. Lambeth suggests that It be put In play
on the 40-yard line, but there us opposition to this.
To my mind the ball should be kicked of after a afety.
A score has been made and it should be treated the Fame
as a goal from the field. Neither side would bo harmed,
as the ball seldom Is advanced bj-oii.l the JO-yard mark
on a kickoff and the spectators would have an Idea ot
rhat is going on. A change of this sort would help the
lame from the spertatnr's viewpoint.
It Is said that penalties inside the 10-yard line are too
aevere and should be stopped. If that were done there
rould be some great playing within the shadow of the goal
posts. Everybody would be offside, hands would be used
and it would be football played with the deuces wild.
The present penalties should stand.
Hut as was mentioned before, there arc several points
which should be made clear. For example, take a kickoff
which rolls out of bounds after It crosses the coal line.
The ball Is not dead, as Is the case of a punt or a try at
goal which failed, but can be recovered by any member
of the kicker's side. The officials have ruled that It was
not cut . bounds if the man recovering it crossed the
goal line in the field of play. This Is not In the rules
and should be Inserted.
Another is on the return kick. What is a return kick?
Is it legal? You never will find it in the rule book, be
cause It Isn't there. Last year a western team played at
Annapolis and the return kick was used. The coach con
tended that all men were onside. Nothing could be found
to prove it in the book, so the play was not allowed. The
officials and coaches would like to know If the play is
legal, and if so, how many men are oaside.
A FEW yiars ago, in Boston, a platter ran out of
i bounds and came back into the field of play to
recover a fortcard past. This was allotted by the
rules committee, but I believe the rule should be
changed. The field is large enough to keep the
players inside, and it isn't fair to allovs one to step
over the sidelines to avoid an intcrfcrer and come
back to complete the play. I saic it once and have
been against it ever since.
Need Change in Forward Pass
ACCORDING to the rules, a forward pass which has
been touched by two eligible mtn .nd, recovered by an
opponent before it touches the ground is an incompleted
forward pass. Here is the rule :
"If u forward pass, nftcr having been touched by an
eligible player of the passer's side, is touched by another
player of that side, who was originally 'eligible' (before
the" ball has been touched by an opponent i, the pats shall
not be considered as completed."
This, I think, should be changed, to give the defense
a chance to recover the ball even if It has been touched
by half a doien men.
Last year a rule was Inserted to help shift plays.
Little difficulty was experienced by the ollicluls in deter
mining onsido and offside, but such will not be the case
next season. The players did not have confidence in them
selves or the rule ami were afraid to take chances.
"A player shall not bo ruled to be In motion if be
has both feet stationary on the ground," tsays the book.
That means the backfield can jump forward, land on both
feet and keep on going. In other words, bhifts will be
played with two standing Jumps, which will give the men
some impetus. Unless the rule-makers Insist that the
players come to a full stop there will be lots of trouble
in the games next fall.
Clipping from behind is a rule which should be rigidly
enforced, but only under certain conditions. If a mau is
obviously out of the play he should not be clipped from
behind. If, however, he is in a position to make a tacklo
and the intcrfercr can lilt him only from behind, no pen
alty should result. This, however, will bo straightened
out at the meeting of officials next fall, rcgurdless us to
what the rules committee will do.

known that the Harvard ice hockey
team registered a 7-to-0 ictory over
Yale in the most important game of the
year at the Ice Palace last Saturday
night. Captain Iligelow tnllicd five of
the seven goals.
Harvard had a team schooled in nil
the tine points of hockey. It was a
team that knew how to pass, how to
skate and how to shoot goals. Tho
Crimson won b seven goals, and per
haps had they tried as hard In the last
period as in the first two, could have
added a few more points to tlrelr total.
Harvard had a team skilled in hockey.
Yale presented a team that was coura
geous and game, but showed a pro
nounced lack of practice, condition and
hockey skill. Ihe boys could not pass,
re
peatedly to break up the systematic
play of Harvard.
This was tho seventh consecutive vic

Tho Triple Assault
THE controversy still rages as to
which should bo tho most deadly of
the triple assault In Yvrcstllng the head
lock, the toe hold or tho scissors.
If you hud your choice Yvould you
rather have your head Y-arped, your leg
cracked or your ribs busted?
4 As punishing holds thero is no vast
difference, except that the head lock
ban n more brutal look to tho croYvd.
The wrestling multitudes havo become
adjusted to seeing u man's toe twisted
back and forth or his body squeezed in
a pythonic shimmy.
But Yvhcn the head lock Is applied it
looks like murder. And it Isn't a mat
ter of any one crowd, but of nil crowds,
whether from Ncyv York or Nebraska.
The only answer Is that any purely
punishing hold that isn't launched pri
marily to toss au opponent for n goal
Is hut of place. But jut how purely
punishing holds can be eliminated suc
cessfully is another matter.
Of course, as n matter of 100 per cent
sport, notio of the punishing holds that
arc merely put on to hnlf kill a man nnd
crush his resistance should bo permitted.
But if Steelier and Lewis were matched,
with the heud lock, the scissors and tho
toe hold barred, how long do you think

deprives him of being rated as an end

passed twenty-four feet in tho broad
jump don't overlook Kracnzleln, Prin

A. Ii. Gutterson, whose Olympic jump
Yvas 24 feet 1VA inchest, within half as

IT WILL- be interesting to see in tie

long rest Yvill bo nblo to do for Walter
Johnson's arm. When a veteran picks
up a kink tho result is gcnerully 0 total

them across slnco 1008, ho can hardly
bo classed as a kid.

During the past year the cost
of materials and labor forced the
retail price of Bold Cigars to 10c.
Conditions have now adjusted
themselves to such an extent
that we feel we can reduce the
price of Bolds to 8c at retail.
The same high standard
quality which has merited
approval of millions of discrim
inating smokers of Bold Cigars
throughout the United States
will be maintained.
The announcement of this
price reduction is a source of
much gratification to us, as we
know it will be to the vast army
of Bold smokers.
