HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH RIUCBESIII FOOTBALL SUGGESTED {Rules Committee Will Be Asked to Consider Eliminating Kickoff There is not much likelihood that the intercollegiate football rules com- J mittee will act favorably upon more j than one of the suggestions made at j the recent annual convention of the American Collegiate Athletic Associa tion. The suggestions which will be submitted to the rules committee are as follows: 1. Numbering the players. 2. Goals from touchdown to be j kicked from the point where they | cross the line of scrimmage. 3. Abolish the kick-off. 4. Forward passes made from be- J hind the line of scrimmage and that | are grounded become dead from the I point where the bait is thrown. I B - Increase the value of field goals j to five points. | 6. All a field Judge to the corps of officials. Most football men are now pretty | well convinced that for the benefit of I the public the players should be num j bered. No one has been able to give j a solitary reason why this should not Ibe done. The students and outside | public cannot follow the game intelll j gently without such an aid, and since I It is the "gate" that supports the grid t iron game the colleges certainly owe I it to the public to give them every consideration. Compelling a team to kick a goal from a point in line with that where j the ball crossed the line of scrimmage j would be a hardship. When a team chooses to put out first it runs the risk of not being able to recover it and try for the goal. If any change is to be made in the goals from touchdown it would he best to abolish it altogether. The late Mike Murphy, who knew more about football injuries and their causes than any other coach or trainer in his latter days was bitterly opposed to retaining the kick-off. He main | tained that more players received body | bruises in these physical collisions than I in the regular scrimmages, j The whole tendency of football legis j latlon has been to reduce than to in crease the value of field goals It is jhard to see why the rules committee I should be asked to make two field goals count more than a touchdown and goal.

J JUDGE Gllll HIS own CRYPTIC METHDD Franklin County Jurist Is Brief in Imposing Sentence in January Sessions Judge Rush Gillan. of Franklin county, who ia sitting in No. 2 court room owing to the illness of Addi tional Law Judge McCarrell, has quite a way about him when he administers the sentence of the law. As more than one attorney and court attache put it this morning, it's cryptic. The lirst demonstration occurred this morning when pretty Ella Wilt, charged with larceny, was arraigne.' for sentence. Her case was held over since yesterday afternoon while the court investigated it. To-day he called her before the bench. "I've been thinking over your case and have looked into the matter pretty thor oughly," said he. "You've no need to steal. The sentence of the court Is that you pay a fine of $1 and serve eight months in Jail." The crowded courtroom hadn't got its breath over that before Horace Doehne. who was convicted of assault and battery, was arraigned. "I should like," said Attorney Mehring, who pleaded for Doehne, "to ask that he be given as lenient a sentence as pos sible." "A dollar fine, costs and four months in Jail," answered Judge Gil lan. Tony Fellow, who was convicted of carrying concealed deadly weapons, was arraigned for sentenced and his attorney, Maurice Metzger, offered a petition praying for a suspension of sentence. The court asked the district attorney what he had to say about it. "It isn't our custom here, your Honor," replied Mr. Fox, "for the court to suspend sentence by this method" "Oh, rest assured," answered Judge Gillan, "we're not going to suspend sentence. Nine months in jail." When the Jury convicted Oharleß Wise yesterday afternoon of felonious entry it recommended him to the mercy of the court. And Judge Gillan let him off with only fifteen months. President Judge Kunkel was an equally busy man in No. 1 room throughout the day. Most of the morning was taken up with the trial of Samuel Granger, charged with lar ceny and larceny as bailee. Other cases disposed of by the president judge were: George Williams, convicted of steal ing coal; Joseph Givens, acquitted of a charge of assault and battery upon Edward Dickson, costs being divided; D.
