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.

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. Frank Radle, who was on trial yes
terday for fraudulent preference in
that he had tried to defraud creditors
through a sheriff's sale, was acquitted
