SPORTS. Score After Touchdown Change Is Suggested : Coast Has Lightwe PREMIUM WOULD BE PUT ON RUNNING AND PASSING Plan Is to Give Two Points for Success by These Methods With One for Kick to Remain—Rules Committee Gathers on Friday BY LAWRE in this city on F N NCE PERRY. ‘W YORK, March 12—When the foot ball rules committee meets iday and Saturday it will have a chance to do something really constructive for the game. It can put a premium upon a running or passing attack in an effort to score after a touchdown Two points added to the six gained through a touchdown as the reward of a run or a forward pass would be very tempting to coaches and field generals, provided, of course, the one point to be 'made by kicking a goal after a touchdown stands. As it is now, the drop or place ception. by the foot ball committee to encourage running and passing play it had no such effect. But if more points could be gained by launching some play other than a ®*kick there is not the slightest doubt that coaches would turn iheir minds 1o making something of this oppor- tunity One thing ix certain: There would be fewer tie games than have been played in the past, and the thrilling aspects of the game as a game would be immeasurably enhianced Under present conditions the play after touchdown is almost as super- fluous an appendage as was the free kick that formerly obtained. It is pretty hard to gel the committee to do anything radical, but here is one step that should appeal to this body. In all probability one change at least will be made. The kick-off point will he moved back to the kicking team’s 10-yard line, and a tee of not too great altitude will be permitted. The stipulation under which the ball was kicked from midfield and not teed up worked out badly, first, because the ball usually went over the goal, and secondly, when it did not go over the line it whizzed down the field at A flat trajectory, and thus made the prompt covering of the boot by the kicking team an extremely difficult matter. Kicked Ball Something will about rule XVIIT among other things, holds that any player may recover a .kicked ball which has not crossed the line of scrimmage. There has been variance between the East and over the interpretation of this rule. Offers Pazsle. have to be section 3. , The rules committee held that if a | team A strikeks a| ball kikcked by team A player, the ball not going over the line, it will count a down. 1f the ball does go over the line the team A, as it was ruled, may not have it, the ball going to team B, where touched. Western officials, it appears, did not agree with this in- | terpretation, and something will have to be done to bring about unanimity between the sections. There will probably be a lightening of the duties of the referee, at least so far as watching for roughing of the kicker is concerned. This duty, it is likely, will be delegated to the head linesman It is likely, t0o, that when a defend- ing team is offside the team offended agfinst will not receive a first down in addition to the 5 yards—unless the distance thus gained covers the £round necessary for first down. At present the penalty isx an unwar- ranted affiction to the defending team offside. May Not Recognize Records. It is now practically certain that a 1ot of these records which have been hung up by Nurmi and Willie Ritola this_ Winter will not be offici recognized as world records. This is to say, that many of the distances run by these men, distances that never before have figured in track meets or in _the record books, will not receive official sanction Informal comment to date by men prominent in the A. A. U. leads to this belief. At the same time no effort has been made to discourage the effortk nf promoters to give spectators that thrill which comes of record-shat- tering achievements by dividing dis- tances into eighths and quarter miles and so on What probably will happen will be the incorporation of the records for unrecognized distances under the heading “noteworthy performances of 1825, or something of the sort Uptown today gossip was running wild concerning a reported intention on the part of Nurmi to become a citizen of the United States. The only foundation this appears to have had was Paavo's silence upon the sub- joct But, since he is silent subject, there was not the slightest reason why any significance should have been attached to his reticence on this matter. The truth is that Nurmi has not the slightest intention of expatriating himself, and thi from a source convincingly high will shortly probably upon every he homeward bound and glad that he is T s S GIRLS AT MARYLAND U.

A. C. Valentine, Swarthmore foot ball and lacrosse star, has had a very successful vear as lacrosse captain, winning from Cambridge by a com- fortable score. R. H. Snow, Rhodes scholar from Tllinois, is captain of the University Fencing Club. In the recent annual meet with Cambridge, he made the final and decisive hit for an Oxford victory. E. P. F. Eagan of Colorado has for three vears been the mainstay of the University Boxing Club, and two years ago won the Oxford-Cambridge meet by favorable decisions in both the light-heavy and heavyweight classes. This year he has succeeded the Marquis® of Clydesdale as captain of the Oxford team, but has been severely handicapped by an injured eve. Despite this injury he expects to take what many claim will be a winning team into the meet. ONCE NOTED JOCKEY DYING FRIENDLESS NEW YORK, March 12.—In Lioyd Hughes rode a three-year-old, Mart Jordan. to “undying fame” in Brooklyn, according to the news- papers of a half century ago. Last night hospital officials found a paper containing the following words in the pocket of an aged man who was dying: “This is Llovd Hughes, a famous jockey, who rode a triple dead heat in a race in Brooklyn, September 11, 1873.” Search of newspaper files revealed that on that date in Brooklyn, from a field of five, Lloyd Hughes on Mart Jordan tied Haywood on Bingaman. Second and tbfrd heats, necessary under the rules of the period, result- ed the same way, bt in the fourth Mart Jordan's strength gave way and Bingam:n won. The man collapsed in the street Tuesday and last night was uncon- scious. He was so near death that physicians were unable to learn any- thing regarding relatives or friends. 1873 ROCK CREEK PARK LINKS WILL OPEN ON MARCH 20 Rock Creek Park golf course will open March 20, the office of public buildings and grounds has announced.

At 4 and 5 years he captured lead- ing events on the British turf. Borrow was returned to the United States in 1913, and the following year captured the Saratoga and Yonkers handicaps. At the age of 9 the gelding took the Brooklyn, running a mile and a furlong in 1:43 2.5, for an American record. At 10 he led the field in the Arverne Handicap. COLUMBIA FIVE SCORES.
