By my eastern football operative 1 am informed that Harvard has ob- tained several English rugby ex- perts, skilled in the use of the lat- eral pass, to coach the Crimson athletes as to the many great possi- bilities of the play. Since open play has tended to popularize the grid sport, the thought of the lateral pass was to encourage greater freedom in the handling of the ball, since all lat- eral passes except those from the center will, if incompleted, become dead and no further play can be referee is to see that the ball is properly put in play, and, except as otherwise provided, he shall be the ") sole judge of its position and prog- "| re: The umpire is the judge of the conduct and position of the players. He is charged with seeing tl the players wear only equipment as provided for in the rules. For stance, if a man has sharp metal cleats, or has hard metal or pro- jecting shoulder pads, knee pads, etc. it is the duty of the umpire to see that this equipment is not worn. He is the man who calls most of the fouls committed by players, such as_ holding, pushing, pulling, like. He reports the foul to the referee, who then Proceeds to inflict the penalty. Linesman Marks Distance The linesman is under the super- vision of the referee and marks the distances gained or lost in the prog- ress of the play. He is also charged with seeing that players are on-side when the ball is poe in play, and is also to look out for the tripping of ends, encroachment on the neutral zone. This year, he is specialiy charged with the duty of looking for fouls committed by the offense .on the so-ealled screen forward pass plays. He must also designate the spot where the ball or player went outside on his sids of the field. He also has concurrent jurisdiction on the new rule relative to shift plays. The field judge is avdirect assist- ant to the referee and also keeps the time. He is supposed to assist the referee in decisions regarding ithe position of the bali when it is kicked up or passed down the field. He is also charged with the duties of calling infringement of certain izules, mostly concerning conduct of pavers down the field. laving enumerated ¢he many duties of the various officials, 1 trust I have made it clear that there are other judges of play besides the referee.
