SPORTS.’ Brown’s Feat in Playing Two Games Without Chan'g;_lg THE EVENING AIDED BY WEAK LINE PLAY |THREE INDEPENDENT OF YALE AND DARTMOUTH Performance Impossible—Central Board May Act Against Recalcitrant Players. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, November 2—What is the rcal antwer to the feat of the Brown team in going through two straight foot ball games— against Yale and Dartmouth— ! he answer is defective, Elis and the Hanoverians. Where a forward wall js rugged erly used on defense and when on attack cleaning-up operations are prop- erly carried on, then no team playing modern foot ball is going to go through a game without replacements, whether it is winning or losing. The Illinois-Penn game, as the was worked out in the line, and the backs of neither side were able to In such case the toe decides the issue and the Urbana eleven find trackage. had the kicking artist. Spirited defense in the Navy line soon convinced Michigan that she had some blasting operations to perform before her offensive could get started. But the explosive material not sufficiently high powered to disintegrate the Annapolis wall. Eddy of the Navy is a great tackle and born a great guard. On the other side of the line Wickhorst and Cross are slashing forward Aside from the ¢ failure of the Michigan writer has mnot 5 where the end Problem for Officials. What should an official do if a pl er sluzs him as Vie Schwartz w mlugged at West Point by a Syracuse plaver? At a conference the other day attended by many of the leading arbiters of this section, this question was brought up. Not a few of those sent were men physically able to resent wallops sent in by any hot- headed youngster. The prevailing opinion was that the dignity of the profession, the respon- sibilty which is imposed upon officials in the way of conduct and demeanor, preclude striking back. Vic Schwartz stands higher today in the minds of every advocate of decent foot ball because he had the strength of mind to suppress his natural in- elinations when he was punched in the jaw. One very important point arises here. There have been two games in the and one in the West this season where efforts have heen made to terrorize officials. This has got to he stopped. College foot ball is sup- posed to be plaved by the highest type of Americans, men who are fol- lowing the higher paths of culture and learning. The fine flavor of the llege zame is its greatest asset. The problem zoes straight up to the central board of foot ball officials This hoard is in a position to hold up the hands of officials, and no one else is. If the heads of the central hoard maintain an attitude of grand- motherly complacency, ignoring evervthing that promises to be an- noying and letting inaction stand as a solvent for situations that should be handled without gloves, then col- lege foot ball. so far as officiating is concerned, will enter upon chaos. Has Taken No Action. Point and_Syracuse authori- ave hroken off athletic relations result of the trouble between Army and the Orange two weeks Has tha central board done any- hout the fact that one of i officials was slugged in that game? If so, nothing has been heard of it. In cases where officials are assault- ed or abused, or their authority in thing ithout a_substitution? or rather ineffective, line play by th_c in its charge; where hands are prop- writer suspected would be the case, which the Wolverines employed was other ways Is set at naught, the cen- tral board could and should back up its servants by declining to assign men to handle games played by the offending colleges. And there are other remedies that could be applied. A very serious point is involved and it is time that the central board awakened to it. The whole system of ciating is bad any way. leges practically dictate who = shall work their games: each year they send out lists of men who are accept- able and no one else gets on those lists, Out West the selection of officlals is_in charge of the commissioner of Western Conference athletics, Maj. Grifith. His assignments are based sheerly on merit. The result is that there “are half a hundred highly qualified officials in the Middle West, where in the East one could name but 10 or 12 high-class men. This chiefly is because young, studious officials, who have had ex- perience as players, have no incentive to develop. Their names are not on the big lists because they are not known and there is little chance that they ever will get on. If the officlals and the central board got together.and took a decided stand they could speedily end the preferen- tial nonsense that goes on in this region every season. Should Be Good Game. stern offi- The big col- Next Saturday Is going to see pretty much of a let-down in foot ball games of moment. The Harvard-Princeton issue at Cambridge stands out pretty much alone from the standpoint of national interest and traditional rivalry. Just how good the Tigers will be next Saturday is problematical, but it is the best bet in the world that they will show better than on any previous Saturday this season. Har- vard, too, will throw a fine outfit into the fleld. The game should be worth seeing. Slagle, the writer learns, was as a Iast resort sent to an osteopath, who did for him jvhat no one else had been able to do. He will be in con- dition to show in the Harvard game. Here is probably the greatest running back in the country today. It is ask- ing pretty much of a man to sit on a bench throughout most of the sea- son and then go into important foot ball games and perform stellar feats. If Slagle does this his glory will be the greater.
