The public, by its attendance, showed its approval of the game as played. At the recent meeting of the lead- ing football coaches in New York, not one drastic change was made in the pl forms were suggested, but all of them were quickly voted down. The coaches ‘showed much wisdom in de- ciding not to tinker with the rules ing rules. Some decided re- in any way. Tie games in football or any other ¢ far from satisfactory. Buck , who coached at Columbia last year, sugested that in case of a tie game, the team making the | most first downs should be regarded las the victor. The advantage in downs should be the deciding factor. in all tie games. Nothing doing, said the coache Coach Heisman of Pennsylvania offered a moy ingenious suggestion as a means of elimi: i in football. It was beth teams to have theball on the offensive for three dowhs from ntid- field after the finish of the game. Teams were to be allow to pass, kick or run. The team advancing the ball furthest in the three tries should be given the extra point, and consequently the game. While the coaches listened with much attention to the unusual sug- gestion of the Pennsylvania mentor, it failed to_receive the slightest en- couragement from any of them, Coach Neale of Washington and Jefferson offered a suggestion that was turned down with a bang. It is very easy to imagine what Coach Bill Roper of Princeton thought of Neale’s suggestion. wes Neale was for eliminating the ele- ment of uncertainty that now/ exists. He argued that touchdowns made on recovered fumbles or gntetcepted passes. were flukes pure %an:| simple and. should not be allowed. Instead, Neale believed that the ball, on a re- covered fumble or intercepted’ pass, should merely go to the ‘fcovering side as a first down at the point re- covered. The coaches hopped ali over Neale’s suggestion, and it died, out the moment the W. & J. coach was seated. The coaches are wise in figuring the game as played is good enough. Seventeen Play In Every Major. . League Contest There were just 17 players in the two major leagues who appeared in every game their team played during the 1922 season. Of this number, sever were supplied by the National circuit and 10 by the American. Four men jn the older loop were tied for high honors, and oddly enough, three of them were Cincin- nati_unifgrms. This quartet includ- ed Ralph Pinelli, Jake Daubert and George Burns of the Reds, and Dave Bancroft of the Giants. These four took part in 156 contests. Max Carey and “Rabbit” Maran- ville’ of Pittsburg never missed a game all year, but the Pirates played one fray less ¢han did the Cin- cinnati and’ New York rivals, Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis Cardintls also participated in everyone of the 154 games played by the Missouri club. In the, American wheel, “Chick” Gallowag of the Athletics, and Em- ory Rigney and Bobby Veach of the Detroit Tigers divided the leader- ship, each getting in 155 encounters. Eddie Colline of the White Sox, Sam Rice and Stanley Harris of Washington, Marty McManus of the Browns, Derril] Pratt of Boston, and Everett Scott and Aaron Ward of the Yankees didn’t miss a game throughout the entire campaign, playing in 154 bouts. —______—__-- —__@ | BULLSEYES OF BASEBALL | NO. 7—Most UNUSUAL DEBUT 1 EVER SAW The debut of any recruit pitcher in the majors is the big event.of his baseball career. 1 I have seen a number of recruits come and go. Often the debut of cer- tain recruit pitchers marks . their finish. Some meet with remarkable success, others have only ordinary fuck, and for a great many it i calamity. The most unusual debut I eyer saw a r@ruit pitcher make in the majors, was put on by Ray Keating, who for a number of years was 4 valuable member of the, New York Yankees’ pitching staff. Keating was a spit-ball pitcher, arid he had a varied assortment of moist deceivers, The umpire whd SALESMAN $AM Tat wt ae CRACK “BARNYARD GOLFERS” ENTER BIG TOURNEY ~ By NEA Service , St. Petersburg, Fla., Jan. 18—With the arrival here of J.
