YORK, September —The | nterpretation meeting.” | an annual event for foot ball coaches and officials, held in New York over| the week end was peculiarly im- portant this seaxon. This meeting | and the one held in Chicago last week cleared up several vital ques-| tions | First, it was ruled that any man of the kicker's side may recover a| kicked ball which does not cross the| line of scrimmage, but it will cost his side a down Second, a man who holds the ball| for a kick-off may be “offside” with-| out penalty, but he must hold the ball on the ground and not in the air. The kicker may make a dent with his heel in which to set the ball, but he may not dig a hole or &rench for it. Taken with the supplementary rule 1ssued lier last week providing for the advance of the side receiving the -off to a line 10 vards from the in case the kicking side takes all back to any position “direet- ind” the centgr of the field these decisions seem to clear up all moot questions about kicking. Third, the rule forbidding the re- ceiver of a forward pass to go out of bounds and then come back into the field of play to receive a pass does not 'apply to a man past the end line of his end zone and then coming back in to receive the ball ¥. K. Hall, chairman of the rules committee, gave vigorous advice to the officials to rule out any protec- tive armor that was likely to be| dangerous to an opponent. The gathering in Chicago and the one here were in close harmony and were inore largely attended than ever before. Stagg presided at the Chi-| cago meeting and the writer at the New York meeting.

He often carried the ball, but it was in the close-up for- mations. and most of the time he was delezating the task to Walker, Detray and Bezdek. Krequently he punted. He was studying his opponents closely, searching cannily for the moment when he again could leap out at them suddenly, catching them un- vrepared for benumbing tactics. Such an opportunity came in the second half, when the teams faced one another in u situation identical to that which had produced Walter's §5-yard run. Obviously. he would not try that trick aga But in Ecker- sall's mind the thought persisted that his opponents would reach just such a conciusion. Moreover, other plays, including the famous Maroon mass-on-tackle, which consisted of sending all of the backfield men through tackle for short gains, had been stopped effeciively. So he did that which it was apparent he could not do—and, for the second time, got away with it; this Ume for a run of 0 yards.

GIVES UP PLAN TO ORGANIZE FOOT BALL (o] N sociation this Fall to organize sandlot foot ball, according to a statement issued by James F. O'Malley, one of the officials. The heads of the W. B. B. A. A. are of the opinion that their organization has not made a decp enough inroad in local athletics to warrant the under- taking of controlling the Fall sport. According to the original purpose of the W. B. B. A. A., foot ball, base ball and basket ball were slated to come under the direction of the Dis- trict organization It appears that numerous difficulties . were encoun- tered in the effort to organize base ball, and this fact, coupled with a lack of funds, caused the W. B. B A. A. to delay their plans. “The Washington Base Ball and Athletic Association will endeavor to organize all three major sports—base ball, basket ball and foot ball—in 1925," O'Malley declared toda "At the present time our organization is not ready to go in for foot ball and basket ball, but we are hopeful of controlling the three sports next vear. All of the officials believe the time 1s not quite ripe to organize the three sports. Our finances are low and itl takes considerable coin to function properly throughout the entire ath- letic year.” [Levvy, Hank Pharr, Johnny Blair and Jddie Carroll will eoach the Virginia team Alexandria Cardinalx are to held a meeting tomorrow night at ¥ oclock in their ciubhouse.
