TUUSDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1924 World Results FORWARD PASO SATISFACTORY T COACHES; CHANGES DISCOURAGED Collegiate Association Are Expected to Add ‘ QOkeh to Approval Voiced by Other National Organizations. NEW YORK, Dec. 80.—(By The Associated Press) — Critics of the forward pass in football are “off side” in the majority opinion of the nation’s coaches and eastern offi- cia! Unscathed in its first two battles, the aerial game faces the meeting of the National tion today with confidence. It is so satisfactory to the coaches that the annual meeting yesterday failed to comment on it, satisfying itself with adoption of suggested changes in other departments of the game. The officials last week voted their un- animous objection to any tampering with this department of football. Harold “Kid" Gore, who had char- acterized the pass as a ‘menace’ kept his promise to refrain from urging a decision upon the coaches at this time. He filed his suggestion with the rules’ committees. Gore would score only three points for a toushdown obtained by the aerial method. Informal discussions indicated a Gisposition on the part of the men- tors to place confidence in the pub- Mo's ability to estimate the value of football as its is played today. With @ record attendance of more than ten million this season, it was that the game had gained tremendous headway and that noth- ing should be done which might im- peril progress. Recommendations approved by the coaches’ body include the re- turn of the kick-off point from mid- field to’the forty-yard line, with the use of a tee not to exceed four inches in height; abolition of the first down on an offside penalty un- less the offensive team gains more than fts distance thereby; allot- ment of responsibility for roughing of the kicker to the head linesman instead of the referee, and abolition of the first down for a blocked kick behind the line beca the ball is recovered at or beyond the point to be gained. The association reject- ed the proposition to eliminate the run after a fumble. Robert C. Zuppke of Illinc!s de- fexte? Fielding Yost for the presi- dency, to succeed John W. Heis- men. OAGE DRIFBLING IS ATTACKED. NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—(By The Associated Press)—College athletic @irectors and coaches, gathered here for, their annual meeting, openly supported the football forward pass, but there was an undercurrent of strong opposition to the dribble Collegiate Athletic Associa- in basketball, a matter not on the callendar for discuss'on. It was one of the most important topics argued in the little group meetings. The dribble, acording to several of the mentors, {s one of the most dan- gerous elements in sports today, one from which serious injuries develop. pats chk tah wa Doha GLENROCK TO PLAY LOCALS FRIDAY NIGHT The Glenrock Semdacs, the team that beat Olson's Terrible Swedes last Sunday, will be seen 'n action on the high school court here Fri- day evening with the Pearl Whites as their opponents, The Pearl Whites are up with the leaders in the Casper Basketball league and w!ll have two new play- ers by Friday night.

PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 30—Four Stanford men, Nevers, Cuddeback, Solomon and Walkgr, have been s'gned a very definite New Year's day task by “Pop” Warner, Stan- ford coach, When his cardinal foot- ball team meets Notre Dame Uni- versity January 1, “Pop” means to have the quartet, which forms the Cardinal backfield, “‘get’’ the “four horsemen” of Notre Dame, part them from their speedy steeds and thus prepare the Irish eleven for the bone-crushing Standford roller. ‘Whether or nor the powerful four will successfully complete their com- mission is a matter of conjecture, for 't is said they will be at a disad- vantage if the “four horsemen” are as fast as they are reputed to be. However, “Pop Warner refuses to be worrled, althoigh he says he does not expect to win. ‘We don’t figure to lick’em, but we'll give ‘em @ helluva battle,” declared the vet- eran mentor. He put the team through a two- hour workout yesterday and will hold a stiff practice today and to- morow.

SHERIDAN ROAD aT PAGE FIVE, First in News Of All Events THAY WAS @LL DRESSES. | WHAT INEEO MOST RIGHY Now Is & NEW WINTER Fifty Years | Of Baseball By JOHN B. FOSTER (Special Correspondent of the Casper Tribune) Had Fred Duillap been more as- sertive his name would have lasted longer in baseball annals. Men knew what he could do in his time but his career was short lived in a way. He was a quiet, reticent man who never got all the credit in baseball that he deserved. If one were to say that he was the greatest—more than best—sec- ond baseman who ever \ived there would be old fellows enough to back up the statement and there would be plenty of reason why the state- ment could be held true. No second baseman ever played baseball who was &s proficient in making one hand etops as Dunlap. What Jerry Denny was to the third baseman, and it was said of Denny that the played better with one hand than most third basemen with both hands, Dunlap was to the second basemen. The latter was at the height of his game when with Cleve- land but he p'ayed great ball after he left Cleveland and before then. The amount of territory that he covered at second when with Cleve- land was greater than that covered by any second baseman of his time, or any befcre his time, unless it were Ross Barnes. He could range all the way between second base and first base and was deadly to his right or left as he grabbed hot grounders from the field with one hand with- out being compelled to get tn front of the ball as young payers aro ad- vised always to do at present. Dunlap played the ball in front of him when he could but he could get hits with either hand that other nfielders could not reach, That was why he w&s such a wonder on the field, or-to be more accurate that ls part of the reason why he was such a wonder, because any hit that came to him where he could field {t with both hands was smoth- ered almost before the ball left the bat. To his remarkable skill in making one hand stops must be added his great speed. He was one of the bert base runners of any period and what a hard player to get! He ran low, close to the ground, got into the bases in some way without of- fering body surface on which the baseman could touch him and he had the speed of a scared mudhen. To see him go from one base to ancther was one of the sights’ of his baseball time. He appeared to rkim the ground rather than to pace over it. He could bat Ike a trooper and was a good waiter. Off the field it was almost impossible to find bim When a ba:l game was over he con- cealed himself. The fact that he did not have a very good education may have had something to do with mak- mous fifty years ago and who srew Stay for a day, a week ot a year—there is no difference at the service at the Belmont. ing him sort of a recluse.
