SPORTS. 81 Fumble Rule Is Good Thing for Grid Game, Coach Roper of Princeton Thinks FOOT BALL THRILLS PLENTIFUL ENOUGH New Regulation to Prevent Unfair Publicity .for Miscuing Player. BY W. W. ROPER, * Princeton Foot Ball Coach. JYHILE the changes in the foot ball rules for this year, al- ready _discussed here by Howard Jones, Dan Mec- Gugin and Bob Zuppke, are few in number, I believe the rule mak- ing all loose balls dead at the point of recovery will have a tremendous effect on_the game. I fl\'l.)gr the rule, though in the past Princeton teams have been very suc- cessful in winning games by recovering loose balls. Back in ’95 Herman Suter 7an 95 yards against Harvard after re- covering a fumbled ball. In '98 Arthur Pos recovered a fumble and ran for a touchdown against Yale. John De Witt did the same thing in 1803 and Eddie Booth in 1907, while Sam White won both Harvard and Yale games in 1911 by swooping up a locse ball. In 1919 Joe Sheerer recovered a fumble for the winning score against Yale. In 1922 Howard Gray made a touchdown egainst Chicago in the same way. Sees Worth of Rule. Yet I believe the new rule is good for the game. Foot ball is distinctly a team game, and there are plenty of thrills as it is. The recovery of a'loose ball is distinctly an individual play, and on many occasions permits a weaker team to win. There has been instance after instance in the last few years where the stronger team, after rushing 1ts oppopent all over the field, has been deprived of a touchdown by a fumble inside of the 10-yard line, a fumble scooped up by some alert defensive man, who ran 90 yards for a touch- down. 3 The man who makes the fumble is marked the rest of the season. He gets a lot of unfortunate and unde- served publicity. Certainly it is enough of an advantage to the team recover- ing a loose ball to have possession of it at the point of recovery. I believe the present rule means that the better team will win in almost every case. This was not so under the old Tules. Last Fall New York University made 14 first downs against Georgetown. The Southerners put up a plucky defensive game, but were outclassed completely in attack. New York University on one occasion had the ball on its oppo- nent’s 5-yard line and a touchdown seemed certain. A . Y. U. back fumbled and the ball bounded into the hands of a Georgetown end, who ran 95 yards for the only touchdown of the game. Surely the mere recovery of the ball would have been sufficient penalty for N. Y. U’s mistake.- Georgetown could have kicked the ball down the field and saved its goal line from danger. It seems to me this is a perfect example of the unfairness of the old rule. The new rule for a fumble will help the offense greatly. I look to see the at- tack more open and varied than ever before. » Still Plenty to Thrill. While at. first blush the public appar- ently may have Tost a thrill, I believe in reality that new offensive tactics ‘which I am sure will follow will more than repay them. The try for point can now be made from the 2-yard line. This rule has never quite worked out the way it was intended, in that virtually every team has used a drop or place kick and seldom tried to run or pass, By decreasing the distance I hope it will be possible to vary the attack on this play, and if this is done a spectac- ular play will result. Just now the try for point has been pretty dull and monotonous, but with the change the pass and the rule should be tried much more frequently.

QUARTER-FINALS ON IN CANADIAN GOLF By the Associated Press. : ANCASTER, Ontario, September 25. —Play in the Canadian women's open golf championship had reached the quarter-final round ay . only five Canadian representatives left to stay ‘the onslaught of a United States contingent numbering 11 stars of great- er or lesser renown. Safely past the dangers of the first round of match play were such lumi- naries of the links as Virginia Wilson of Chicago, defending champion; Glen- na Collett, United States national cham- pion, and Helen Hicks, the long-driving golfer from Hewletts, N. Y. With them were Mrs. Fred White, Hartford, Conn.; Mrs. H. C. Higble, Detroit; Virginia ‘Holzderber, Baltimore; Mrs. J.

BY EDDIE BRIETZ, Associated Press Sports Writor. USCALOOSA, Ala., September 25. —Most coaches are picking Alabama to finish on top in the Southern conference this year, but the man who ought to know as much about the crimson tide as any- body refuses to get excited over pros- pects at Tuscaloosa. Coach Wallace Wade thinks some of his coaching brethren may be trying to pull his leg, or something, He does want to appear gloomy, but if the other coaches can see the championship flag flying over the new tide stadium here | they can see a lot further than he can. ... Hope the boys are right,” said Wade. “I'd be glad to oblige them, but as I don't figure my team will be much stronger than last year's, I'm afraid I shall have to disappoint them. “We'll have practically the same team—a bit stronger here, perhaps, and a bit weaker there. On the whole it won't be much improved. I hope it surprises me. Asks About Others. “In the meantime I'd like to know what the seers among the other coaches thing is going to happen to Georgia | Tech and Tennessee and Florida? Do they count on these schools dropping 0\1&00‘1 t:%.%’n’"e;‘:e?" c] le probably knows his team better than outsiders, but visiting news- paper men can't see any cause for grief_at Alabama. To them it looks like Wade's got all he needs. The tide is returning a complete veteran backfield. Four regulars are missing from the line, but there is a letter man walting to step into the shoes of each. The reserve strength is no worse than fair. Although Wade would welcome a good passer with open arms, the backs he has in stock assure him of a power- ful running attack—his favorite style of -foot ball—and he would feel fairly well satisfied if only the question mark could be removed from behind “Flash” Slgh:}l,"s name, uther, star ball-carrying halfback, was injured in the WI:co};slg game and was out of commission practically all of last season. He seems to be as good as new, but Wade would like to know how Suther is going to feel after a couple of stout conference games. Campbell, also a seasoned vetera will play the other half with the bril- liant Tony Holm back at full, and Capt. Billy Hicks again at quarter. Long, a newcomer, will crash into a lot of fl;mex in a defensive role and Mc- Right is being groomed as Suther’s understudy. He is also a monogram man, Not So Powerful. The tide also will not be so powerful, If there is a Santa Claus, Wade would like two tackles and one end. And a guard if there are any left over. “Dumpy” Hagler, ail-Southern guard, is gone, and so are Plerce and Skid- more, last year's tackles, and Smith, one of the regular ends. Eberdt, a fine center, is back, and with Weaver, end, Miller, guard, and Sington, tackle, will form the nucleus for the forward wall. ‘Wade plans to replace Smith with Dobbs, Pierce and Skidmore with Sing- ton and Clemons and Hagler with How- ard. All these replacements earned their “A” last year and are thoroughly experienced men. So, while the outlook at Alabama might be a lot brighter, it could also be a whole lot worse. Both foot ball and base ball will be played in the new park to be built at Rocky Mount in the Eastern Carolina League. ALEXANDRIA, Va., September 35,—: Beudrice L.

BY FRANK G. GORRIE. Associated Press Sports. Writer. EATTLE, Wash., September 25 (#). —Although losing an all-Ameri- ca halfback and coached by a man whom the student board of control attempted to “pay off” last Winter, the University of Wash- ington foot ball team, which won only two conference games last year, is doped to be a champlonship contender in the Pacific Coast Conference this season. With 20 letter men back for duty and some extra fine sophomore mate- rial on hand, Coach Enoch Bagshaw looks with favor on the husky grid pros- pects. Bagshaw lost Charles “Chuck” Carroll, all-America ace, through graduation, but figures that on the whole the Washington eleven will have a better all-around combination this year, Ninth Year on Job. Despite the fact that he was the storm center of a highly political cam- paign on the universily campus last Winter, Bagshaw stuck to his job and has started his ninth year of coach- ing at Washington. The student board | of control twice voted to dismiss the | husky mentor and pay up his contract | of three more years, but the faculty committee decided this could not logic- | ally be done. The student board then | requested that the coach immediately resign. He refused, but offered to leave at the end of this season if the uni- versity would pay him the balance of his salary. The students turned down the offer and dropped the matter. Although Carroll left a great gap in the husky backfleld, Bagshaw has a “find” in Merle Hufford, who graduated from the freshman line-up last year ancd is being counted on to fill a great part of the all-America’s shoes. Huf- ford was a star with the yearlings and showed rare form in Spring practice with the varsity. He is a fast and shifty runner, a good passer and a fair kicker. Another freshman to move to the var- sity ranks was Charles Rosenhan, a 200- pound full back. Rosenhan is a triple threat man and a powerful ball carrier. Several letter men also are available for the backfield. Johnny Geehan, a regular two years ago, but ineligible last season because of a college prank, is the lead- h‘:’z candidate for the quarterback posi- tion. Geehan’s performances on the field have been remarkably smooth and he displayed field generalship of the first %‘g;r to win two letters in 1926 and Other shining lights for backfield posi- tions include Elliott Pulver, Thurle Thornton, Johnny Stombaugh, Bob Buz- zard, Bill Marsh and Gordie Jenkins. All except Jenkins are varsity letter men. Jenkins came up from the freshman team and is an outstanding ball carrier. Has a Strong Line. ‘The husky line is Bagshaw's strong point. Last yera's forward wall is back intact and from present indications looks as if it will be left virtually that way. One change has been considered. that of movinlg Capt. Paul Jessup, .6~ foot 7-inch veteran tackle to center. Paul Schwagler, brilliant freshman tackle last year, would probably get Jes- sup’s old job. Sam Kraetz, regular center last year, would be the loser in the deal. Henry Wentworth, a big, rawbone youth, is the other veteran tackle. The guard positions would be capably filled by Jack Scaman and Bill Greger and the ends managed by Bill Snider and Clarence Pautzke. Several other flashy wingmen also are available, including Larry Westernweller and Roy Squires. The Washington team's greatest weakness is in the kicking department. The huskies play their first game of the season next Saturday against a non-conference member, but an old tough rival, Whitman College. LOVEYE ADKINS TAKES RAILROAD NET CROWN Loveye Adkins, interplayground net ace and recent runner up for the D. C. girls' junior title, added another laurel to her crown when she annexed the girls’ singles championship of the B timore division of the Pennsylvania Railroad system. In the title match she defeated Miss M. L. Fitzgerald of Altoona, Pa., 7—5, 9—7, on the Altoona In the semi-finals she downed a rep- resentative from Chicago, and in early rounds took the measure of competitors {;om other cities in the Eastern sec- on. As a result of her win, Miss Adkins probably will be sent to the inter- divisional tournament, to be held out- side the country, possibly in Cuba. \ Man’s Shop 14th at G 3212 14th Tolley Shortens Grip on Brassie BY SOL METZGER. ‘Take such & fine wood player as Cyril Tolley and you'll find that he, like most other stars, shortens the grip for a brassie shot. In driving Tolley grips the leather at its upper end with his left hand. But in playing a_brassie from the fairway C: . H, ranking British a teur, places his left hand about 3 inches from the end of the leather. Nearly every star does the same thing. . This shortening of the gri shortens the length of the shaft and leads to better control. While control is a necessary factor in driving, it is a commanding one on a wood shot off the fairway. All of us have noticed undoubtedly that the shorter the shot one has to play the better it can be controlled. One reason is that the length of Shaft gradually lessens from driver to putter. This in turn reduces the arc of the sying. That helps in controlling tHe swing and thus leads to accuracy. Great golfers are great drivers.

MICKELSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, September 25 (#).— The Big Ten levelled another ( at Iowa todi suspicious glance ay. It wasn't a suspicion of proselyting of athletes, which already has the school under the conference fire, but an apparently well founded one that the Hawks have a better foot ball team this Fall than early scouts give them credit for. Determined to spike their request for readmittance to the Big Ten's good graces by having a championship grid- iron machine this Fall, Burt Ingwer- son’s men are plowing along Wwith an unusual degree of enthusiasm. They have some holes to plug in the forward wall and a task to fill the charging, bustin’ shoes of Mayes McClain, but they are making great headway. Yesterday, the Hawks turned in their best demonstration of the short prac- tice season. With Willis Glassgow and Mike Farroh showing the dash and | punch that brought Iowa gridiron fame last Fall, the first team literally ripped | a strong reserve team into shreds in a scrimmage, scoring four touchdowns without much ado. The varsity worked in unison and Ingwerson forgot some of his worries, For most of the Big Ten teams yes- terday was a day of worries over in- juries, poor showings and ineligibilities. One exception named “Red” Somers brought joy to Coach Clarence Spears by his exhibition of passes during scrim- mage. Somers appears to be a find after | Spears’ heart and may be a great cog in the Gopher juggernaut. Illinots had seven potential first-string candidates on the injured list today, the latest addition of importance being | Roy Wietz, regular guard, who hurt | his elbow last night. At Northwestern, Coach Dick Hanley was confronted with | four ambitious tackle candidates who | have all but ruined his backfield be- cause of their eagerness to make the | varsity, while Indiana, Purdue, Chicago and Ohio State had their share of damaged ankles, heads and such in- juries that go with the game.

In all there are five one-shot holes on the golf course of the Congressional Country Club. But two of them are fairly easy; or if they are not easy 3s, at least they have little of the score, wrecking potentialities that lurk in the vicinity of the other three. Take the third for example. In front of the tee is a large bunker. At both sides are bunkers with those overhanging lips which mean that an explosion shot must be played from them and that no other shot will do, while off at the right lurks the out-bounds territory for the shot far off the line. Causes Lots of Trouble. This hole is productive of many a 5 against its par of 3, and happy will be the competitor who gets past it with four 3s on his card. The ninth is of much the same type and demands much the same shot. But the bunkers at the ninth are even more terrifying than those at the third, the penalty for a shot off line is more severe and oc- casions have been piled on occasions when some unfortunate golfer, having hooked his tee shot into the bunker on the left, Has put it in the trap at the right and then promptly knocked it back into the trap from which it came. Six-s are not at all rare on this hole, which is a fairly simple matter for the expert who can knock out an iron straight on the line to a large green 170 yards from the tee. We can pass over the eleventh and thirteenth with- out much trouble. Both can stir up a fuss if care is not used on these par 3 holes. But neither has the score- w;x;:ckl:lng possibilities of the third and ninth. It is that pesky sixteenth which may decide the champion amateur golfer of | the District of Columbia tomorrow. If we knew with even an approximation we should not tell how many scores have been ruined by that treacherous 135-yard stretch. Without a doubt it is the most “poisonous” hole on the golf course and the one which can stir up the most trouble, notwithstanding its innocuous appearance. is a simple spade mashie shot, or a high mashie niblick shot to get past the bunkers and on that tiny little patch of putting green. shot it mus be! It may well happen tomorrow afternoon that as the leading amateur golfers of Washington battle down the stretch to the wire, this six- teenth hole may decide the champion- ship. Certainly there is no short hole about Washington on which so many | things can happen, and we haven't any doubt that the three short holes named 3d Corps Area in the team event. This | F. herself. AlL it takes | But what a | shot at the third, ninth and six- which can make or break a golf will play a big part in deciding the amateur championship of the District for this year of grace. The man who can show 3s on all of them will come fairly close to winning. Mrs. J. N. Hodges is far in the lead in the ringer contest for women at the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club, having an eclectic score of 34— 38—72 in the contest which closes No- | vember 1. Mrs. F. R. Keefer and Mrs. P. L. Ransom are tled for second with 78. ‘Walter W. J. Clear, who is a mem- ber of the service club and of the Washington Golf and Country Club, has moved within a stroke of Ralph S. Fowler and Erwin P, Hair, leaders in the ringer contest at Washington, and now has a 57, 1 stroke above the 56s with which Fowler and Hair share the leadership in the competition. Seeded along with three others in | the draw for the Army golf champion- | ship, Maj. Earl Naiden, who won the qualifying round yesterday with a score of 79—81—160, should move success- fully through the first and secon rounds today, although if Capt. my” Dikes wins his first-round match he may show the major from the War College considerable opposition. Maj. Nalden played comfortably competent golf yesterday to nose out Maj. E. S. Hughes for the qualifying medal. M Hughes is a member of the Army, Na: and Marine Corps Country Club over whose course the competition is being held, with two match play rounds scheduled for decision today. Hughes registered 82—80—162 for the double medal round and is seeded in the draw along with Maj. O. N. Bradley and Lieut. E. A. Baldwin of Governors Is- land, who is the defending champion. Naiden was only a stroke in front of the powerful Baldwin at the end of the first round yesterday, with a score of 79 against 80 for the champion, but Baldwin went bad in the afternoon, finishing with an 87. Tall and rangy, a powerful hitter from the tee and an accurate putter, Baldwin is a fine match player and a man who is at his best in man-to- combat. Many observers at the tournament choose Naiden and Baldwin to meet in a final that should be a red-hot affair if both get through the earlier rounds. Capt. Stuart W. Egerton, U. 8.
