PAGE TWELVE NORTH CAMBRIA and General Comment Patton Panthers Lose 15-6 Decision Here to Homer City 60-Yard Forward Passes) Set Up Scoring Stages Coach Pat Marquette’s Patton High School Panthers lost the opening game of the 1949 football season to an invading Homer City High School Eleven last Saturday afternoon on the Patton gridiron. The visitors scored touchdowns in the first and second periods and a safety in the last minute of play to make the final score Homer City 15, Patton 6. Both of the visitors TD's came as a result of forward passes, which were good for 60 yards each. In the first quarter Patton fumbled on the Homer City 40 yard stripe to set the stage for the first invader touchdown. Dau- reilo tallied in the first and again in the second frame. Smith Kkick- ed the extra point and at the end of the half the score was 13-0 in favor of Homer City. Only 5 New Football Rules Have Effect O Majority of 40 Changes | Are Merely Rewordings Platoon substitutions have the green light and pass-catching T- formation quarterbacks get a red light in the new football rules for this season. After all the noise about free substitutions taking the game away from the boys, the new regulations make it as easy as ever to whip in alternating de- fensive and offensive teams. At the same time, the rule makers have made it impossible for a T-formation quarterback to catch a pass—unless he intercepts one. Here is a run-down on the major rules changes for 1949: Substitutions Old—Subs could come in any- time. New—Subs can enter the game only when the clock already is stopped, or when possession of the ball changes. Effect—This will cut down on the annoying stream of subs en- tering the game after play. But it makes it easy to change full teams when the ball changes hands. T-Formation Quarterbacks Old—A player could stand one yard behind the line of scrim- mage and still be considered a backfield man, eligible to catch a forward pass. New—The player's head—not his feet—must be a yard back, stamping out the possibility of a tall player being able to reach a| yard forward to the center. Also, no man in a positions to receive a hand-to-hand snap from the cen- | ter can catch a forward pass. —Effect—This means no T-for- mation quarterback can catch a pass. Intentionally Grounding Forward P: ass Old—Penalty of 15 yards from line, of scrimmage. New—Loss of down and five- yard penalty from spot of foul. Effect—Eliminates the motive for a trapped passer to ground the ball instead of being tackled for a loss. If you're going to lose a down and the yardage anyway, Why take a penalty along with it? Ineligible Pass Receiver Old—When a forward pass hit an ineligible receiver, the pass automatically was incomplete. New—Pass is incomplete only if the ball hits the ground or goes out of bounds. If it hits an ineligible receiver and bounds loose, it’s still a free ball. Effect—Some wild scrambling you haven’t seen before. Free Ball Out of Bounds Old—When a free ball went out of bounds, it belonged to the team which last touched it, as in basketball. New—When a free ball goes out of bounds, it belongs to the team which last had possession. SPORT ~ Patton came back in the third period to tally with an end run by Lowes. The Panthers failed to convert for the extra. In the final minute of play, Kute of Homer City tackled Low- es behind the double stripe to secure a safety for the visitors. The summary: Patton—6 LE—A.

Most of the time they could only guess at this anyway, especially in the case of pile-ups. These are the only rules which particularly concern spectators, although there are some 40 differ- ent changes in the code. Many of these are just rewordings to make things simpler—we mean simpler for lawyers, for the rule book still reads like a supreme court decision. ° What's Doing In Football . . . * Denotes Night Games SCHEDULE HIGH SCHOOL THURSDAY, SEPT. 15 Heilwood at Hastings * Ebensburg vs. Ferndale at Point * FRIDAY, SEPT. 16 Patton at Barnesboro * herry Tree at Carrolltown * Houtzdale at Westover Adams Twp. at Portage * Altoona Cath. at Cresson * St. Justius at Johnstown Cath. * Boswell at Conemaugh Twp. * Black Lick at Clymer Beaverdale at Roaring Springs * SATURDAY, SEPT. 17 Gallitzin at Meyersdale * Bigler Twp. at Bellwood * Erie Strong Vincent at Johnstown * Richland vs. Berlin at Windber * WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 21 Cherry Tree at Spangler * Ferndale vs. Conemaugh.

After a scoreless first half, the Hastings gridmen went ahead with a six-pointer in the third period. Paul Abel slipped through left tackle and raced 51 yards to paydirt. Paul Selestock hit the center of the line in the extra- point attempt but failed. Inman’s line buck for the extra point for Lilly failed, thus hold- ing the game at 6-6.

Doe As Ruining . Good Deer Hunting The State Game Commission said last week doe deer ‘‘are slowly but surely” ruining the future of deer hunting in Penn- sylvania. A reduction in the “present ex- cessive number of does” is vital to the future of deer hunting in the commonwealth, the commis- sion declared in its official pub- lication, the Pennsylvania Game News. The 1949 buck season opens on Nov. 28 and continues through to Dec. 9. The one-day doe season follows on Dec. 10. Too many hunters, the com- mission asserted, believe that “killing a female whitetail is re- puted to be the brand of a cow- ard, the mark of a traitor to sportsmanship.” To the contrary, the commis- sion said, this point of view has permitted the state’s deer popula- tion to increase to 700,000 which is far too big to find adequate food. It added that “Pennsylvania deer not only do not have enough to eat now but are literally ruin- ing the food now being produced which might offer some relief in the future.” “The only feasible and sensible method of balancing our deer crop with the available food sup- ply,” the commission stressed, “is by harvesting a regular crop of antlerless animals.” It pointed out that because of the high birth rate of deer and “because a few bucks can serve many does, a reduction in the present excessive numbers of does will improve the future of deer hunting.” ° MADERA NIPS BLANDBURG Madera edged past Blandburg, 2-1 last Thursday evening to near first place in the Cambria- Clearfield Valley League. Baron allowed the losers only three hits with Madera getting five from Buck McCelland.

Westmont Raps Cresson High, 19-7, Under Arc Lights Driving for two touchdowns in the final quarter, Westmont de- feated Cresson, 19-7, last Friday evening under the lights on the Cresson gridiron. After a scoreless first period the visitors staged a long drive which netted six points when Hofecker crossed to paydirt. T. Cush of Westmont booted the ex- tra point. CHS evened things up in the closing minutes of the third per- iod when they recovered an en- emy fumble on Westmont's 22. After Reghetti passed to McClure to the 10 yard stripe, Burley crossed to pay-dirt from the 3- yard line. Fontanella scored the extra point on an end run. Westmont came back, however, as Hofman went off-tackle for a TD after a 60-yard drive. The second fourth-period Westmont score came as Hofman again hit the double-stripe capping a 65-yard drive.
