-CHANGE UNNECESSARY
"IN CLIPPING RULE OF
COLLEGIATE FOOTBALL
Players Net Violating This Rule Much Because They
Are Being Coached te Eliminate It Further
Protection for Forward Passer Needed
y KOIIEKT W. MAXWELL
Spert editor Kvenlnc Public ledger
FOOTBALL coaches from nil parts of ihe ceuutr met in New erk the
ether night and talked ever tome proposed changes iu the rules for 1021!.
Thsy held a long session ami, outside of exchanging lcws en various topics,
nothing definite was done. In fact, nothing could be done. The Ttulcs Com
mittee, which Is nn entirely different organization, meets iu March and taKci
official action. The New Yerk gathering merely offered suggestions, teme
Botse geed, but net te bad.
, Fpr some reason or ether the fcubjert of clipping from behind came up.
Seme of the highly cieltnblp gentlemen urged that a rule be made which pro
hibits clipping cen from the side, but this did net meet with much favor.
Other drastic changes were lest In the shuffle, se the geed old game remains
the same as before.
In regard te clipping, nc don't beliee ant further change In the rule Is
necessary. The players are net doing it H) much as beterc. nccnus'e tncy are,
being coached te eliminate the practice. It was net necessary for the officials
te Inflict severe penalties, because there were few Infractions. In the college
games In which we officiated last season v did net see a single case where u
man was clipped from behind. At a football official' meeting bjlcl iu the
Hetel Stenton recently, out of twenty men present, only sU wer forced te
penalize players for delating the rule. Next year It will be less than that.
There is no doubt that clipping from behind bns no place In football.
However, If the suggestions of some of the coaches nre tnken serieuslj . the
lame will suffer. An interfcrer v. ill net be allowed te leave Ms. feet te dive at
tackier and long runs -xv 111 be frequent. Diving Interference has helped the
jrAme because it almost has eliminated holding and illegal use of hand.
The Idea is te prevent permanent Injury te a plnyer nhen he is entirely
out of the play and an opponent comes up from behind, dives Inte his legs and
knocks blm down. This is entirely unnecessary and has been stepped te a
great extent. Hitting n man from the side or from the freut, however, is au
important part of football, and the best thing for the coaches te de Is te lav
ff that feature. They would be the first te utter shrieks of pretest If a change
remade.
FURTHER protection for the ferirard passer is a poed idea, find
increasing the penalty for a defensive man interfering icith a fei
caid pass also should be done.
etc Against Professional Football
PROFESSIONAL football also was dteuscd. and the coaches voted te
eliminate it as far as possible. Dr. Jehn W. AVilce, of Ohie State, moved
that "professional football, in the opinion of the meeting, wab detrimental te
the best Interests of American football and American youth, and that the
football coaches lend their Influence te discourage tbe professional gams."
VTe held no brief for professional football, but if any one can tell us
hew k.ls detrimental, te the best interest of American youth we will be much
obliged. The coaches have taken a one-sided slant at the game, have shown
a riarre-mIndc8nesS which nobody ever believed possible and made thorn -telves
loek1 .ridiculous. . The coaches haven't a chance in the world te dis
courage the professional game.
Let It' be understood that we are for college football from start te finish.
Ibis the grqn.des,t cleanest and nie.t sportsmanlike game that is played, and
Be,tbng,caq take its place. The hundreds of thousands will continue te wit
ness the important contests, and the sport has become se popular that Yale
irjUnds te increase the seating capacity of the bowl te 119,000. Pcnn is
Jnstaljlng new stands which will seat 50,000, and there has been some talk of
Increasing the capacity of the stadiums at Princeton and Harvard. Profes
sional football cannot hurt the college game and never will. Therefore, the
lead talk Is very much out of tune.
Lee Conway, who, successfully managed the Philadelphia Quakers last
season and stands out as the only man who was able te stage professional
gridiron battles in this city for two years in succession, has something te say
about the recent uprising.
CJT IS the public, net the football coaches, ichich mil decide the fate
' of professional football." said Conway. "If former college play
ers get up a team, play everu veeck and the public expresses a desire
te tee the garnet, then tee icill have pre football, VTe played here jivn
flraight Saturdays, and mere than 60,000 paid te sec the contests.
- That means the game is popular.
"Farcical" Is Opinion of Conway
"A COLLEGE player is through after three years en the varsity. He is
CI supposed te be a retired veteran at the age of twenty-one. Judging
from the arguments of the coaches in New Yerk, he will be the same as a
burglar, or some lawbreaker if he plays football after that. If that's a square
deal, It's a funny one. The coaches wish te control the men net only while
they are in college, but after they get out.
"There has been some talk of taking away the college letters fiem th
njen who play the professional game after leaving school. The players should
worry about that. If a football player is offered $250 a game for ten games
he will consider the offer. He can get mere with the $2500 than the collego
letter. Te me the entire thing is farcical.
"Profebsienal football is all right in its place. Ne attempt has been
made te oppose the college games. In the West they play en Sundays, and in
Philadelphia the important games are staged in December and en days when
Penn Is away. If former players wish te continue te play they should be
allowed, the same as In baseball. They have their living te make, and you
can jet mere at the corner grocery with u 52500 contract than with'n colfcge
letter.
"Only men who have completed their college courses are eligible for places
en my teams." continued Conway "I will net even talk te a man who still
, Is in school and wants te sneak away te play a couple of games. These men
are detrimental te the gam aiid will net be handled.
"I have been criticized for using Glenn Kllllnger in the Canten game two
j weeks age. Kllllnger was through with athletics at Penn State. He graduates
! in February, was ineligible for basketball and, anyway, was all set te sign a
i contract te play baseball with the.New Yerk Yankees. He had a perfect right
te play a professional game if he wanted te,' nnd the Penn State authorities
have net entered a pretest.
PROFESSIONAL football is here te slay, and the eellege coaches
cannot put the game out of business."
Bill Brennaji Kicks In With Seme Startling News
3
NOW that Fredward Fulton Is en the trail of Jack Dempsey, B0d was ,
'anxious te get a match with hlni that h went te Nciv Yerk when be
Vnew the champion was in California. Bill Brennan, through bis astute man
ager, Lee P. Flynn. has ist-ucd a lefi te the titlebelder. Lee flings a nasty
typewriter and here is the latent offering, which he wishes us te publish freu
gratis and for nething:
"Have you a h'eavywelgbt who has net been flattened by Bill Brennan,
Jack Dempscy's only obstacle?
"Dees your town beast of an aniVliVjs pugilist who imagines he is an
other Dempsey iu the rough? Brennau fH return te tb ring in two weeks
and will meet all comers iu bis campaign te ferce Jack Dempsey te give blm
a return match.
"Geerges Carpentler and Jack Dcmrsey have refuse te tnefc Brennan.
Why de tbey fear the Irish giant?
BIX REASONS WHY DEMPSEY &nOCLD GIVE BRENDAN- A CHANCE
"1 Brennan has lasted longer with Dempsey than Geerges Carpentler,
Fred rulten. Jen. Willard. Battling Levmsky, Carl Merris, Billy Miske,
Gunboat Smith and Terry Kellar combined.
"2. It took Dempsey fourteen rounds te batter the New Yerk Irishman
into a semi-coma state.
i. iy knocking out utty one oppenmt, iirennan lias create a
American beavyweigut knockout
enemies, nne juempsey nas stewru away terty-six Battlers.
"1. Bill came closer te Lneckiug out Dempsey than any human alive.
Brennan staggered the Manassa mauler repeatedly In their Madisen Square
Garden battle. Jack also received a cauliflower ear.
"5. Brennan is confident that be can knock out Dempsey la another
mach.
"6. Every champion has a Nemesis. Besides being the possessor of the
greatest knockout record ever compiled by a heavyweight in the history of
pugilism, Brennan has the distinction of being Jack Dempsey's Nemesis. If
the New Yerk battle bad been ten rounds te a decision, Bill Brennan would
have been crowned heavyweight champion of the world. Fer ten rounds
Dempsey was battered, bruised, cut, bleeding, punch-drunk, groggy and a
pitiful loekliig spectacle. Dempsey wat, forced te use an Illegal blew te defeat
Brennan."
OCR memory might be at fault, but it items te us that Dcmpsiy
onee hit Brennan en the jate se hard that the btew sprained hit
ankle, and the K. O. tn A Yerk teas the second administered ie Bill.
Alte, nothing has been said about a match with Bill and Fred Fulton,

Oarsmen Have Ne Breathing Spells in Race, and
By GUANTLAND RICH
"W,,v
vr Lnn
net," casually remarked
nghernc Gibsen, cnntnlu of
the Yale crew, "a few words about row
ing, by way of variety?"
Why net? As n starter, it might be
suggested that the area of the earth is
100,010,000 square miles. Or this total
displacement 140,205,000 square miles
arc water nnd only 50,015.000 squnre
miles nre land. With water leading
nearly 3 te 1, why should landlubber
sperta receive almost ninc-tcntbs of the
polite mention accorded various nth
Ictic activities? The Pacific Ocean nlone.
embracing 03,034,000 square miles, is
larger than all tbe laud there is. In
addition te this, there nre ever l,000,-
UOO square miles of lake nnd liver sur
face en the land, showing that Mr.
Coleridge liHd been investigating before
he -wrote "Wattr, water, everywhere."
Test of Slaminn
ROWING, of all sports, calls for the
Inst word in stamina.
There nre breathing spells In football,
basketball and tennis. Alse boxing.
There nre no resting places in n
thrcfi-mlle run, but here the legs carry
the brunt of the burden.
In n crew ruce legs, arms, back nnd
all the rest of it must de their part of
the work where timing must be carried
en, even in moments of impending ex
haustion. In many qunrtcrs there is a gencraj
opinion that crews begin training in
the spring, nnd after a short, 'sharp
season nre all through. Y'ct no ether
collegiate or intercollegiate sport cnlls
for such nn extended program of devel
opment. Nine mouths fro. the year
nre needed before coaches and trainers
call it u season, nnd various crew can
didates from Yale. Cernell. Harvard,
Princeton. Navy, Pennsylvania Colum
bia, Syracuse, etc., have already put in
three mentliB of development, with the
opening splash of ears still mere than
three months away.
Tlie Big Deem
A FEW years age rowing in the East

Londen and Peughkcepslc.
Theso times arc buck with the dust
of dead ears. The leading rowing
centers of the East face one ei the, busi
est programs ever known from tbp first
flutter of April winds en te the summer
wind-up.
Y'nle, Harvard. Princeton. Cernell,
Navy, Penn, Syracuse. Columbia, etc..
have the most elaborate schedule en
record, where each crew will be called
upon at repealed Intervals te meet some
worthy opponent or opponents in con
tests worth going far te see.

Yale, Harvard nnd Princeton will all
have fine crews this spring, but it is a
matter of extreme doubt whether auy
rival crew will be geed enough te beat
back the man power of the Navy com
bination. These husky youngsters from
the neighborhood of "the gardens that
slope te the quiet banks of the Severn"
have a rowing punch ns powerful in its
way as the wallop of "Babe" Ruth or
