Schommer, dean of ‘Western Conference foot ball officials, believes that coura- geous enforcement, rather than change, is the principal need of foot ball rules today. Schommer, a brilliant end at the University of Chicago under Amos Alonzo Stagg during the days of the great Wally Steffen and Walter Ecker- sall, and for 27 years a foot ball official, foresees much discussion on grid rules when foot ball coaches meet in New York December 28. The coaches have & committee which can make recom- mendations to the Rule Committee meeting held early in 1937. “The forward pass interference rule has caused widespread debate because of the part it has played in deciding games,” said Schommer. “It's a good, fair rule and it emphasizes, more than does any other regulation, the need for officials who know their business. Basket Ball Experience Helps. "I‘H! reason referees last longer in foot ball is because calling such decisions as interferences on passes falls on the umpires and fleld judges. ‘Those officials are men who should have plenty of courage and should have played basket ball as well as foot ball. In a basket ball game the offi- cials constantly are ruling on the foot ball type of pass interference play. “The official must know whether the ball or man is being played by the de- fending players. He should be able 1o see if the intended receiver has been given an elbow in the chest, hand in the face, bump by the hips or stomach —and those things happen in frac- tions of seconds. If the officis! knows what he is doing and ecalls them right there will be fewer protests by irate coaches and fans.” Players Coached to Foul. SOHOMM!!R. believes the backfield shift should be watched more closely and that referees should carry stop watches to see that backs hesitate the required second before “breaking.” In some instances, Schommer said, feams are coached deliberately to vio- late this rule, “The Rules Committee is faced with & hard problem,” Schommer said. “It must keep four things in mind—pre- vention of injuries to players, preven- tion of unfair plays such as the hidden ball trick, the balancing of offense and defense as evenly as possible and, lastly, that the paying public, whieh makes 30 great a part of foot ball possible, must be considered in pre- senting an entertaining game.” ORIOLES LOSE AT HOCKEY.

AN FRANCISCO, December 34. ~—If the West plans to bottle up Larry Kelley in the East-West foot ball game here New Year day, the East team may have a pass- ing attack that will click without the all-America Yale end. Co-coach Dick Hanley of the East- ern forces said he fears the Western- ers “will try to make life miserable for Kelley. That is, they’ll guard him 80 closely the poor man might not have a chance to get down the fleld and catch a pass. We've got to de- velop a passing attack that will work even if Kelley is handcuffed all after- noon.”, Hanley, who announced his resig- nation as co-mentor, effective after the game, indicated he was leaving the payless post because of the pres- sure of business and because he felt the job can be filled better by a coach more active in intercollegiate foot ball.

EW YORK, December 24.—The wolf ~howling business has been picking up along the foot ball coaching front in the last couple weeks, but it's still Although seattered coaching changes are in prospect, most of the schools in the big-time groups apparently are going to string along in 1937 with what they have now. 2 Notable among the exce; are the Southern, Bix 8ix, Southwest and Rocky Mountain Conferences, where one or more shifts are already made or in the making. For the first time in 20 years, the Southeastern Conference won't make & single change. Out in the Big Ten, too, all is serene, despite rumors of, possible action at Iowa and Michigan.

The Pacific Coast undoubtedly will go into next year with the same line-up as 1936, in spite of a reported offer from Mich- igan to Jimmy Phelan of Washington. Repoits as usual have been heard on all sides about contemplated shifts, but little credence is given to most of them. Sifting the fact from the rumor, here’s the likely line-up of shifts for 1937: South—Hunk Anderson has been given his walking papers at North Carolina State, but a fight is on to see if they stick: Bill Rafferty has gone from V. M.

BY W. R. McCALLUM. ‘ASHINGTON'S golf tourna- ment season in 1937 will | be a bigger affair from the standpoint of competition than was the clipped and abbreviated season of 1936. While there is no denying the fact that the invitation tournament is not the popular affair it was during the whoopee years of the lamented 20s, there’ll be three of these invitation affairs played around the Capital next year and at least one major sectional champione ship. This year there were but two invitation ' tourneys played around Washington—the affairs at Chevy Chase and Kenwood, won by Ralph 8. Quinter and Bernie Hallock, At Least Three Tourneys. EXT year there will be at least three invitation tournaments, ace cording to the tentative line-up already taking form more than a month in advance of the meeting of the Dise trict Golf Association, when dates for the tourneys are parceled out and the golf schedule made up. Chevy Chase will come along with its annual invitation joust, usually held during the second week in May for the Taft and Sherman Trophies, and Manor, which went on a bi~ yearly schedule of tournament holding | several years back, is due to stage its tourney in 1937. Into the field again will come the Washington Golf and Country Club. For a good many years the Washington Club opened the show, with & links affray usually held the first week in May, and usually the opening affair of the season. But about five years back Washing- ton stopped holding its tournaments and only one has been played since 1931. Ralph 8. Fowler, new golf chairman at Washington, plans to ask for a Spring date, probably a date Jjust before the Chevy Chase affair, to carry on the tradition of prying open the tournament season around the Capital with a links jambores at Washington, Mid-Atlantic Ts Top Event. 'HE high spot of the year will come along in June, when the star amateurs of the entire section will gather at Congressional for the Middle Atlantic championship. While the | dates for this affair have not been set yet, it's more than likely that the tourney for the title now held by Levi Yoder will be staged during the fourth week in June, at a time when the course will be in first-class shape. This tourney is the one big affair | which draws all the erack amateurs from Virginia, Maryland and Washe ington. It was played this year at the Five Farms course of the Baltimore Country Club, where Yoder whipped Morton J. McCarthy, the 1935 chame pion, in the final round. Schmeling Wins Title. AY 5—Max Schmeling will sail for America to start training for the Braddock fight. Publicity men will launch campalgn designed to make Braddock sentimental favorite and Schmeling a gold-grabbing foreigner who will take the title back to Ger- | many for keeps if he wins. May 15—Washington, with Newsom pitching, is defeated by Cleveland, 16-14. “Them bums never get no runs for me,” Newsom will explain. May 20—Somebody on the Washing- ton ball club will try to punch a news- paper man in the nose. The fans will | cheer and send contributions to the player because Griff plans to fine him. June 13 — Schmeling and Braddock, on eve of battle, pre- dict kaye victories. Braddock is the man-on-the-sireet choice. Smart money goes on Schmeling. June 14—Max Schmeling becomes first man ever to regain heavyweight title by outpointing Braddock in dull 15-rounder. In a dressing room inter- view Schmeling will say, “I knew I had him during the third round. Ya.” Max Machon, his trainer, will say: vy June 15—Tom Yawkey will buy City Hall and Connie Mack from Philadel- phia for $150,000 each and trade McNair for one of the old Shibe Gold Cup boats. $60,000 price tag on Jack Knott.

Red Sox drop to sixth place and promise to finish thereabouts. July 28—Mike Jacobs will start try- ing to match Schmeling and Louis for September. Echoes of two “ya’s” will come across ocean from Germany, but nothing will happen. August 3—Jacobs signs Jimmy McLarnin and Barney Ross for September extravaganza. August 16.—Another rassling trust breaks up. Nine “champions” will ply their wares. John Pesek will throw consternation, etc. September 5—Sports cartoons de- picting foot ball player shoving base ball aside will begin to appear. . George Marshall will start contest to see if Washington fans want to change the name of Redskins. September 12—Yankees, led by Di- Maggio and Gehrig, hoid 10-game lead over Tigers. Cardinals, Giants, Piraies, Reds and Cubs will be neck-and-neck in National League. Brooklyn manager will be fired. Yanks Versus Diszy. Smm 28—Dean wins world series opener for Cards over Yanks.
