FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 6, 1914.
COLLEGE SURGEONS
| WILL CHANGE RULES
Cutting and Slashing Will Be in
Order at Big Meeting
Tonight
i
New York, Feb. 6.—Football rule <
makers will have a strenuous session 1
to-night in this city in the efforts of <
the various intercollegiate representa
tives to prove that changes in the !
game are needed. The numbering of i
players, a field judge, elimination of
coaching from side lines and cutting i
down the value of a field goal are ;
some of the changes that will be ,
taken up. <
Chairman Edward K. Hall, repre- ;
senting Dartmouth, has stated that i
few radical changes appear likely. (
Professor A. A. Stagg, of Chicago Vni- (
versity, is on his way east with a list ]
of some twenty-odd proposals which
he desires to see incorporated in the
code. Walter Camp, of Yale, states
that while intercollegiate football has 1
reached a high state of perfection, I
there is still room for development.
Mr. Camp will advocate the addition
of a field judge to the present corps
of football officials. He believes that
the quick plays, kicks and forward
passes are too many and complicated t
for the present referee and umpire. ]
Other more technical changes, such
as moving the goal posts back, alter
ing the rule which keeps a ball in play 1
after striking the post from a kick-off
and requires a linesman to have both ,
hands, both feet, or one hand and one
foot, on the line of scrimmage, will
also be considered.
A change is likely in the rule which
makes it possible for a runner who is
forced backward in attempting to
circle the ends to throw the ball to the
ground for an uncompleted forward I
pass, thus nullifying the loss of
ground.
The members of the present com
mittee, which is the result of the j
amalgamation of the intercollegiate j
committee and the National Collegiate j
Athletic Association, are as follows: I
Intercollegiate Committee—Professor j
A .A. Stagg, Chicago; Captain Joseph
Beacham, Cornell; Crawford Blagden,
Harvard; Professor Paul J. Dashiell,
Navy: William N. Morice. Pennsylva
nia; Parke H. Davis, Princeton, and
Walter Camp, Yale.

Lieutenant D. I. Sultan, Army; E. K.
I Hall, Dartmouth; Professor .T." A. Bab-
I bitt, Haverford: Professor S. C. Wil

Savage, Oberlin: Harris Cope, Sewanee,
and Dr. H. L. Williams, Minnesota.
Albright Tossers to
Play Harrisburg Five
Through a timely booking, Manager I
E. C. Taggert secured the Albright I
College five as the, attraction for the i
Armory to-morrow night. Albright
will come to Harrisburg with their
star line-up and promise to give Har
risburg tossers a hard battle.
This game is one of the bookings
made possible by the recent decision
on the part of several college man
agers to get acquainted with crack
teams in all cities where former col
lege men are now playing. The Al
bright five is a good one and Harris
burg will have to travel a fast pace
to win. With the Albright College
| team will be Charles Kelchner, well
| known to many Harrisburgers as one
J of the best all-round athletic directors
and managers in the State. The game
will start at 8.15 o'clock. It will be
followed with dancing.

Official referees appointed by an (i:

to inflict penalties on basketball play- .
ers who resort to rough tactics and

last night. Uniform rules are also be- c
ing agitated. t
"Basketball will never become pop- c
ular as a national sport until there is
a governing body." was the opinion s
expressed by Professor Percy L. s
Grubb, of the Technical high school, c
yesterday. "Uniform miles and penal- c
ties for rough work are also needed, i
and I do not believe these reforms will s
come about without the aid of a scho- c

interpretation of rules. Referees,
mostly local men with college stand
ing, have their own idea, and they
overlook the faults of some players
while inflicting punishment on others.
When rival teams play under rules
almost in direct opposition to each
other it is pretty hard to assume that
the team making the greater number
of points is the better team.
"In my opinion It would be the
simplest thing in the world to have
scholastic basketball as well as the
other sports handled by a committee
of three or five men. The game is
now very popular, but it can be made
still more interesting with the intro
duction of uniform rules and referees
who would have the same interpreta
tion."
Scholastic Games
Promise Rare Sport;
Central Will Dance
Unusual interest is shown in the
two scholastic contests scheduled for
to-night. Central High will meet Leb
anon High at Chestnut Street Hall and
Tech will meet Lancaster. These bat
tles will be of importance in the pres
ent race for this season's scholastic
honors. Central has shown excellent
form in the last five games, but to
night the locals will go up against a
practically new team, for Lebanon has
a live that has been winning most of
the games recently.
I-ancaster will be Tech's opponents
at Tech High gymnasium. Lancaster
is the undefeated live in scholastic
circles this season. I»ancaster will not
play Central and the game to-night
will be the only opportunity to see the
crack team from the Lancaster high
school. As an added attraction Tech
High scrubs will play the Crescents, a
team that includes in its line-up sev
eral Tech men. All scholastic games
in Harrisburg start at 8 o'clock. The
added attraction at Chestnut Street
Hall will be a big dance program.
