All one has to do is to re- call what happened in the George- town-New York University, Lehigh- Rutgers and other games this fall. It isn't hard to remember that Georgetown beat New York Univer- sity because Provincial, an end, re- covered a fumble for the lone and winning touchdown, and that Chase, an end at Rutgers, recovered a fumble that proved just as costly to Lehigh. Both winning touchdowns were made on runs of 97 yards! If the new rule advocated ever comes into effect, a fumbled ball would be dead at the point of re- covery, thereby making the loss of the ball penalty enough for the er- ror, and also eliminating one of the likely breaks of a game. The Break That Hurts Such a rule would be like holding the batter to one base in baseball for ar. error. It seems to this writer, in- asmuch as handling of the ball is one of the fundamentals of the game, that @ fumble should carry as much of a penalty as possible to assure pi During the convention of football coaches in New Orleans, Alonzo met five of his proteges.

Coach Paul Schissler appoints a player leader for each game. Ohio State didn’t have a captain this year and Allen Holman, sopho- more quarterback, was nominal cap-, tain for Dr. Jack Wilce in nearly) every game.

And to have the ball dead at the point of recovery would certainly take away one of the thrills that come now and then when it 1s recovered for a touchdown. Instances where a touchdown Scored on a recovered fumble won a game are not so numerous that it doesn’t hurt when it does happen. That_run of Provincial’s certainly hurt New York University. The record book shows that 45 such plays occurred in 1927 against 80 for 1926. Statistical reports from 60 representative schools in FEATURE CONTESTS'* Georgetown Beats New York se HUDKINS AND MICK all sections of the country for the Past fall show that 33 such scoring plays were made by these 60 teams. Were one to estimate the number made by the supply of teams, all over the country on the ratio of 33 such plays for 60 teams, what will all of them have? It would be reasonable to expect all of the 300 odd teams to check in a total greater than 100. Those 97-yard runs by Provincial and Chase were not the only ones in the nineties. Opekun of Pennsyl- vania made a marker in the same fashion against Cornell with a run of 94 yards, Worthington of Montana State pushed a 90 on Nebraska, ‘and Muff’ of California Tech got a 93 against Occidental. To Tappaan, Southern California end, goes the credit for two such plays this year. He recovered fum- bles against Washington State and Occidental and coriverted them into touchdowns with runs of 32 and 25 yards, respectively. And the Others The only team to do it twice in one game was Iowa State. Burton ran 65 yards and Lutzens ran 35 yards with recovered fumbles against Missouri. Missouri, however, won.

EVERETT DEAN LIKES TO JOIN MINNEAPOLIS CLUB i Slim Harriss, Six Feet Six Inches, Is Too Tall and Too Frail to Make Good Pitcher; Is Sent From Major Leagues by Boston Red Sox. By BILLY EVANS “Slim” Harriss, . baseball's tallest twirler, has passed from the major league picture. Recently he was sent to the Minneapolis club of the Amer- Sox in a trade tavelving. the shifting a je invol of several players. Harriss, stretched out to the lim- it, measured six feet six inches and tipped the scales at 185. He could have carried 50 pounds more and wouldn't have been considered fat. It is the opinion that too much height and too little weight were his great- est handicaps. The passing of Harriss to the minors is another case of a pitcher who had all the stuff in the world to make him an outstanding hurler in the majors but who never got be- yond the mediocre class. In 1925, his best year, he won 19 while losing 12 for the Philadelphia Athletics and gave every evidence of having arrived. However, that big year was but a flash in the pan. Was Exceptional Hurler Few pitchers in the history of the game had more speed and I can re- call no right, hander who had a faster breaking curve ball. His great size added to his deception, for the ball would come at the batsman from a peculiar and unusual angle, since few Pitchers measure six feet six inches. As would be expected, Harriss was anything but a great fielder and op- Posing teams who could bunt, made Plenty of trouble for the tall heaver. It is no easy task to bend over one’s six feet six inches and handle a well placed bunt while some speedy run- ner is dashing madly for first base. The only thing that saved Harriss from being bunted out of the league was the great stuff he possessed, making it exceedingly difficult to bunt his delivery. Nine Years in Majors Harriss came to the Athletics in 1920 and has spent nine years in the majors. A few years ago he was Passed on to the Boston Red Sox by Connie Mack. Due to the scarcity of twirlers, as proved by the roster of several major league clubs, it was a bit of surprise that all 15 clubs waived on him. Throughout Harriss’ big league career he has heard often mention of ‘the woe that comes to one who kills a black cat. I have no doubt but that the constant repetition of the affair did get on “Slim's” nerves and in a way affected his work. “Look out for that black cat.” in break- ing 100 looking glasses.” “That's the black cat jinx.” He Killed Black Cat These and many other such ex- pressions would be repeated over and over again by the opposition in any game that Harriss worked.

Coach Dean witnessed Pittsburgh and NoNrthwestern in action recent- ly and after the ‘game was warm in his praise of Charley Hyatt, Pitts- burgh forward. “T think he is the best forward in the country,” he remarked. “He not only is uncanny at shooting baskets, but his floor work is excellent.

Emil Fuchs, president and manager of the Boston National league baseball club, testified to the city finance coms mission that William G. Lynch, city councillor from South Boson, had told hith he must pay 13 councilmen $5,000 each to pass the Sunday sports bill. District Attorney William J. Foley of Suffolk county announced that as soon as he had received a transcript of the testimony before the finance commission he would present the case to the grand jury. Joseph P. Walsh, representing Lynch, attempted unsuccessfully to force an admission from the base- ball magnate that he (Fuchs) had complained to Lynch and Daiiel Car- roll, a, boxing magnate, that rumors that Rogers Hornsby was a member: of the Ku Klux Klan were hurting the club. “Didn”t you tell them you had wor- ried because of the story that there were no Cathoilcs on the Braves and that the team was being boycotted?” Walsh asked.

Defeated by Michigan State, 21 to 34, in the opening game of their sea- son, the Wolverines have come back with a rush, defeating two strong eastern teams in two consecutive nights. Last night, they routed Cor- nell’s big team, 45 to 13. With “Big Joe” Truskowski loop- ing the basket for 20 points, the Wol- verines appeared ready for their championship chase, which starts Saturday night against Northwestern. Another invasion of the Big Ten cage ranks was repelled last night when Ohio State sank North Caro- lina, 43 to 30, at Columbus. Chicago came through to defeat Beloit college of Wisconsin, 20 to 16, but its play was loose and the Maroons appeared far from ready. Towa’s hopes of a victorious start in the championship race against Ohio State Saturday night e been dimmed by the probable loss of two guards, Virgil David and Fred Gen-. eva, both ill with influenza. Forest fogood, senior forward, also has been out of uniform for two weeks and may not get into the game.
