Greater Freedom in Air Game Defense Is Seen Foot Ball Need Coaches Select Grid Winners RULES NOW CAUSE WILLFUL FOULING Dartmouth’s Play in Yale; Tussle Cited as Reason for Code Revision. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. OME time—maybe this Winter— the Foot Ball Rules Committee will awake to the fact that ex- isting regulations governing the forward pass are nothing less than a Joke. Plenty evidence supporting this statement may be adduced from foot ball games played every Saturday of the season. Take the closing juncture of the Dartmouth-Yale game, for instance. ‘Yale threw a forward pass which Capt. Kelley probably would have caught over the goal line had not Dartmouth committed interference with receipt of the ball. Defense Compelled to Foul. AT LEAST, the officials called the foul and presumably it was one. If it was not the Dartmouth offenders certainly were lacking in headwork. For, by willfully committing inter- ference, they saved a touchdown. No penalty may be called which takes the ball over the goal line. So, in- stead of the touchdown, which prob- ably would have been scored had the defense not interfered with Kelley, Yale received the ball on the 1-yard line with time for one play. The fact that the Elis did not de- gerve to win this game is beside the point of the fact that the rules make the commission of a foul essential | under such circumstances. Rule Revision Desirable. THE obvious remedy is the elimina- tion of all restrictions on defense against. a forward pass, after the pass 1s thrown, with perhaps a sop to the offense that the ball may be tossed from any point back of the line. Seven out of 10 forward passes are caught in | the clear anyway, with no chance of interference. , So powertul a weapon as the pass, offsetting, as it so often does, the run- ning attack, will get along very well indeed without the necessity of de- Capltal’s Major Elevens Favorites Blu-m foot ball flocks of the Washington area are in for a happy week end should the figures of the Williamson scientific predictions prove correct. Catholic University, George Washington and Mary- land are picked without qualification to win over West Virginia Wesleyan, Davis-Elkins and Richmond University in their games tomorrow. Georgetown, tackling West Virginia University, is favored to triumph, although a chance for a tie is given the Mountaineers. It does not look so good for the Capital's minor teams, however. Ameri- can University is rated the underdog in the Randolph-Macon game at Ashland, Va., and so is Gallaudet in its engagement with City College of New York in New York. Howard, which goes to Hampton, Va., for its annual clash with Hampton Institute, has no rating that permits a forecast. Explanation: Figure after each team is its rating, according to the cur- rent Willlamson Foot Ball Rating Table, published last Tuesday. In “predict” column: 1 means win for No. 1 team, 2 means win for No. 2 team, T means possible tie game or close outcome, R means prediction reversed against ratings. No. 1 team plays at home. X, Friday afternoon; Y, Priday night; Z, Saturday night. Where the symbol “T” appears with a number in the Predict column, the team named is favored, but a close outcome one way or the other is not unexpected. A difference of 5 pércentage points or less in the ratings of two teams often indicates that their game is a “toss-up.” However, in from 85 to 90 per cent of cases the higher-rated team is due to win, even when the difference in ratings is small, The predictions: LOCAL. - 1, No. Preget. .

A HICAGO, November 6.—Pur- due, the question-mark team of the Big Ten before the sea- son opened, gets its big chance tomorrow to make its supporters for- 19| get all about that trimming by the Minnesota Gophers. The Bollermakers steamed into New York today for Sat- urday’s big intersectional battle with Fordham, and if the Noble Kizer- coached eleven can clip the hair of Jim Crowley’s powerful Ram every- thing will be more than all right down in Lafayette, Ind. Hard hit by the deaths of two regu- lars in a shower-room explosion dur- ing the training season, the Boiler- makers staged a remarkable comeback which has had Big Ten fans talking. They walloped Ohio “U,” Wisconsin and Chicago in impressive style be- fore running into the Gophers and a 33-t0-0 shellacking. Fordham last year bowed to Pur- due, 20-0, and Purdue’s two best backs this season, John Drake and Cecil Isbell, were on the sidelines because of injuries. The Rams will see plenty of those boys tomorrow, and it will be on their speed and drive that Kizer's eleven will make its bid against a lins which last Saturday held Pittsburgh scoreless. Purdue’s Regular Backs Ready. 'HE Boilermakers worked out in New York today. They will shoot their regular backfleld of Drake, Isbell, Fred Stalcup and Wayne Gift after 38 |8 win. Michigan, which plays Pennsylvania Saturday, worked out in Philadelphia, while Chicago, which meets Ohio State, studied Buckeye formations. Ohio State lost John Bettridge, regu- lar back, through ineligibility, while Joe Williams nursed an injured arm.
