S ROLL UP LARGEST ~ AVERAGE SINCE ™2 Fumble Rule Seen as Help in Production of Bumper Crop of Touchdowns. By the Assoctated Press. EW YORK, December 20.— e In a season marked by brilliant offensive play, the college foot ball teams of the Nation broke all scoring records for the last nine years during the campaign now draw- ing to a close. Reaping a bumper crop of touchdowns, the country’s average team, as determined by the As- sociated Press from the records of 152 representative elevens, scored an average of 139 points in the course of the season. The previous high mark was 136.9, set last year. Prior to the 1920 season the National Foot Ball Rules Committee, in outlaw- ing the run-back of a fumble recovered by the defensive side, expressed the opinion the change would encourag: freer handling of the ball and produce more varied - and effective offensive tactics. Fumble Rule Effective. With 1929 and 1930 leading all the other seasons for which records have been kept, the figures indicate the fum- ble rule has had the desired effect. The average team participated in 8.68 games and scored 139 points to its opponents’ 92. The average number of points per game was 16, the highest record since 1922. Colgate and Southern California yolled up impressive totals of 383 and 382 points, respectively, while Notre Dame registered 265 despite its tough schedule and the fact that Coach Rockne used his regulars sparingly in several games. At the other extreme ‘were colleges like Hobart, whose oppo- nents chalked up more than 300 ‘points. The score records for 1922-29,-in- clustve: Year. ' 1922.

OLAND MACKENZIE has no in- tention of turning professional and so the t'mpest in a teapot - aroused by the mistake of a California newspaper man is over. The Columbia youngster flatly denied in a telegram to his father, Albert R. Mac- Kenzie, received here last mfight, that he has any intention to professionalize the golf game that has brought him fame, along the lines of the “business man golfer,” George Von Elm. 1t all started yest:rday when a lead- ing New York paper carried a story to the effect that Ro'and had entered the Pasadena open as a professional. Al- bert MacKenzie, hearing of th» story, immediately wired Roland and the lad wired back as follows: “There is a mistake about my enter- ing as a professional or contemplating professionalism. I would appreciate vour ¢ffort to give publicity to my abso- Jutz denial. I have withdrawn from the Pasadena open championship.” Naturally when it was reported to the eld’r MacKenzie that his sony had turned professional, he was greatly dis- turbed and did not believe the report. Hence the hasty telegram and a tele- phone call to New York asking that the same paper which printsd the original story make a denial of the professional- ism rumor. Roland had been employed by a bank in Wilminston until a few days ago when he left the East for Cali- fornia. He entered the Pasadena open tourney, and the probability is that his name was entered without the usual amateur designation. Acting on this theory, a California newspaper man may have jumped to the conclusion that Roland had turncd professional. . Roland is one of the two finest golfers [*ever turned out from Washington. He has been a member of three Walker Cup international teams, a semi-finalist in the national amateur championship and a winner of the qualifying round in that championship. The denial of the professionalism re- port was carried by the Assoclated Press last night. Don’t let the boys tell you that this large, new ball, known as the 1.68 ball, is completely acceptable to all golfers. At least two veterans of the game at Columbia think the big ball will cut down their enjoyment of the game con- siderably, and even though they may g0 against the spirit of the legislation urging that the new ball be played, they would rather pln&lf.he old style. Clark C. Griffith, J. E. Baines and Ed Eynon sat at a lunch table at Columbia MacKenzie Has No Intention . Of Becoming a Pro Linksman yesterday before playing a round of golf which ended in a snowstorm on the eighteenth hole Eynon defended the new ball, while Griff, who has been through the gcrap in the major leagues about the 'lively base Baines against the new larger and lighter ball. » “That new ball,” said Griff, “will take away half the kick we mediocre golfers get out of the game,” And Clark Griffith is not a duffer by any means. He is good for an average of 83 or so every time he starts. “We get more thrill out of knocking out a long tee shot than any other shot in the game,” he said, “and if we hit the bali past _our previous best mark, think of the thrill we get. The new ball may handle better around the green, but I don’t think I will get as much fun out of it as I get out of the present ball.” Baines also was outspcken in his criticism of the new ball, contendin that he is a short hitter at best, an that the new ball will not respond to his stroke as does the present ball. “I do not think there is or will be any im- plication of dishonesty if I use the 1930 ball next year,” he said. “I do not play in tournaments and I get a thrill out of punching that ball as far as I can. ‘The new ball simply won't go as far as the present ball.” .
