It seems to me that | Princeton figured in the contest. As | 1 recall it, the rule relative to a goal from the field was not very definite at that time, and simply read that the ball must pass over the crossbar of the opponents’ goal. Unless I am mistaken, this play caused a change in the wording of the rule. It is now very explicit, and states: “In no case shall a goal count if the ball, after | leaving the kicker's foot, touches thé | Sround before passing over the cross bar or goal posts. On the other play |the rule is very definite, saying that }if the ball strikes an opponent and [then passes over the crossbar, it shall count as a goal. | WHEAT’S PLAY Zach Wheat, veteran outfielder of the Brooklyn club, has been in the | majors for 15 years, a star from the | very start, yet last year was one of |his best HOW ABOUT You?
