) STATEMENT ON TOUCHDOWN Football Rules Specifically State Blocked Kick of Sort Occur- : Feels Upset May Have Good T T ruling of Referee William which gave New York Uni- versity a touchdown when a blocked Columbia kick bounced into the stands behind the goal Iino is in error. The rule states specifically in Section B of “Approved Ground Rules" that such @ blocked kick counts not as a touchdown but as a eafety. The goal after touchdown, therefore, kicked by Weatherdon for N, ¥. U. should not count. A good many Columbia students are of the opinion that euch an obviously faulty decision will be reversed. Morice is regarded as one ‘of the fairest referees in football. Hoe is a member of the Interpretation Committee of the Football Rules Committee. Coach O'Neill admits that over- eonfidence caused the defeat of bis team—the moral defeat, if not actual rand he hopes that the result will be & decided improvement in future playing. The proper decision by the referee on the field at the time might have had a decided effect upon further scoring during the game. A longer secret signal practice w: held yesterday at Baker Field. It is rumored that there may be several changes in the Columbia line up. Johnson, Myers, Fischer and Donaid- @on were the only members not in uniform, be e of slight injuries. Fischer was away betause of illness in his family. N.Y. U. CELEBRATES BY GOING TO THEATRE. New York University declared a holiday from classe yesterday, and last night Coach Thorp took his whole squad to a theatre in cele- bration over the Columbia game. No matter what the referee's ruling may eventually be, N. Y. U. caused Co- lumbia the greatest surprise and hu- miliation it has felt in its football ing in Saturday’s Game Is Safety—Blue and White Coach Effect on Team. By Burris Jenkins. HE referee's decision which gave New York University a 7 to 6 vic tory over Columbia in last Saturday's game at South Field wil! not be protested by Columbia, it was sald to-day, although it had been reported that the student body expected a reversal. the referee on the decision which gave N. Y. U. the game may be issued. A statement from history. All credit belongs to the Violets and the fighting spirit they displayed. Before the theatre Thorp made a congratulatory speech, followed by a brisk work out on the bucking board and signal drill. None of the players is Seriously injured, except Capt. Tay- lor, who played through half the game with a broken finger on each hand. ONLY LIGHT PRACTICE FOR THE FORDHAM ELEVEN, Only light practice was held yes- terday at Fordham, Coach Gargon felt his outfit deserved a rest after Saturday's trying contest with Georgetown. Students feel Fordham did well with its light young team to hold the veteran Georgetown athletes to a 28 to 13 victory. An interclass game between the sophomores and freshmen not on football teams was played on the Fordham gridiron yes- terday afternoon. The sophs won, 6-0, Other interclass games will be played on five consecutive Mondays, SCRIMMAGE FOR THE RUTGERS ATHLETES. Rutgers football athletes had a short scrimmage and work-out yes terday in spite of their hard game with Bethany Saturday. Capt. Raub, giant tackle, {s for the firat time this year out of uniform and on the in- jured list. He suffered a badly twisted knee Saturday, which neces- sitated his removal from a game for the first time in his life. Rutgers was too big and too guod for them.

VI CTORY @ é ObrEense \€ squarety bt \e ‘ovrosire Bae y ena Position GEeForE “Loct-sTer” SHIET BEGINS THE LOcic- STEP” WALKIN ACTION Play Kentuckians Carefully Guarded. By William Abbott. ENTRH COLLEGE is the first to introduce a lockstep formation in football. Harvard was the first victim of a sort of gangwalk, a secret play the Kentuckians had carefully guarded in order to catch the Crimson by surprise. The strategy succeeded, as the Southerners, mostly from behind their new-fangled formation, gained through the pow- erful Harverd team for a total of amount of territory ever scored against the Cambridge cleven on its home grounds. The yellow jerseyod Centre players @————___ Mined up in the usual way. Quarter- back Covington snapped out signal There was a slight pause, and just when the Harvard team and the spec- tators in the Stadium expected the ball to be snapped back the Centre line suddenly straightened up and began walking in the direction of the side lines, each man lock-stepping, with his hand on the shoulder of the men In front. The pivot player would also take his place {tn the walk. If the Ine strolled to the right, the left end, the last player on the line, would become the centre and remain all alone with the ball, If the walk headed in the other direction, the right end served in the capacity of centre. Keeping step with the forward line walked the backfield. They had no regular positions. As Quarterback Covington explained, the backs could do anything they liked when the walk began, as long aw they didn’t do the same thing twice. By this he meant they would take different places to better confuse the defensive side. When the lock step parade got under way the end acting as centre seventeen first downs, tae greatest controlled the play. It was optional with him whether his teammates walked only a few paces or clear to side lines, Frequently the Centri Players walked in one direction curned about and then stepped across the line to the other side. At the end of the walk the team would assume &@ diamond-shape formation with the Player at the rear or apex of the line- up getting the ball, which generally was the gant Roberts. ‘The centre, standing sideways and facing his mates, would filp the ball to the designated runner, a direct pass of about five yard Aside from the surprise element brought about by the novel lockstep the ball carrier would be protected by a dense screen of in- terference. Centre also worked up a forward passing play from this re- markable formation, but this part of the Kentuckians, strategy didn't work because of the sickness of Bartlett, considered the best forward passer in the South who was in a E on hos- pital while his mates battled Harvard. Charlie Moran, Centre's coach, says he got the idea for his latest play from a wide-spread formation the Carlisle Indians used back tn 1903 with considerable effectiveness. ONLY FOUR VARSITY PLAYERS IN LIGHT HARVARD PRACTICE CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 24.—Only two backs and two linemen of the Varsity players reported at Soldiers’ Field yesterday, The other seven first string men had the day off, and most of them are nursing injuries more or leas important. Capt. Buell and George Owen came through the game in splendid trim, Owen found that he was {n better con- dition than he himself thought. Roscoe Fitts and Charley Eastman, left end and tackle, were the other players who cam out of the game with the fewest bruise Joe Hartley, the right end, recelved a leg injury, which possibly may keep him out of this week's game with Dart- mouth, and Grew, the left guard, and one of the best of the linemen, has hardly raore than an even chance to be right again before Saturday. There was a fine crop of black eyes raised {n the game. Kernan and Chapin whose heads bumped together Saturday both got out luckily, Kernan at first was thought to have been severely in- Jured on the head, but he fw all right ao fa Clark. OVER 200,000 FANS TO SEE JUST FOUR GAMES SATURDAY Nearly a quarter of a million people will see four football games on Saturday. Years ago it did not surprise any one if Harvard and Yale or Yale and Princeton drew 30,000 or 40,000 fani season games were not well at- tended. Just think! Last Satur- day's Harvard-Centre game drew 52,000, and the Yale-Army game at New Haven this Saturday will draw 76,000. It is expected Har- vard and Dartmouth will attract 50,000, the Princeton - Chicago game at Chicago 40,000, and the opening of the new stadium at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, with the Navy vs. Penn, will draw around 40,000 people. Just four games will draw over 200,000. The football world do movel PENN STATE UNBEATEN IN MORE THAN 3 YEARS Three years without a defeat! Such 1s the enviable record earned by the Peen State teams of Hugo Bezdek—a record enjoyed by no other prominet member of the college football group, and also a record that was not made by feasting on the smaller elevens. Of the twenty-nine games which Penn State has played since that last defeat three were against Pittsburgh, threo against Lehigh, two against Pennaylvant against North Carolina State and one each against Dartmouth, Cornell, Har- vard, y. Georgie Tech, University of V ington, Nebraska and rnegie Tech. It was on Oct. 18, 1919, that Penn State's colors last dipped in defeat Dartmouth wianing 19 to 13, Of the twenty-nine games played since that Dartmouth victory Penn State was tled twice by Pitt, once by Harvard ana once by Lehigh. oe DOBIE PLEASED WITH SHOWING OF CORNELL ITHACA, N, ¥., Oct, 24.—In a state- ment to-day, ‘Silent Gil Dobie said that he was pleased with the showing of his men in the first half of Satur- day's game with Colgate, but that the same fighting edge was not present in the second half, indicating that Cornell has quite @ way to ro before becoming a fighting machine that will keep going through « hard Kame.
