Mr.. WATTERSON ON THE PRIMARY

what the Democrats of Ken
lucky most need at this time is a
square deal. What too many as
pirants for office seem to want is
a little the best of it. Old ideas
of honor, of brotherly love and of
the party welfare seem to have
dropped out, and in lieu of them
how to play to advantage, more
or less unfair, rule the roost
among contempory file leaders
and party managers.
Mr.. Watterson then says this
is equally true of Republicans
and the conditions in Kentucky
do not materially differ from
those existing in other States.
He deplores the calling of the
primary a year in advance of the
election and lays particular stress
upon the assessed money charges
of the primary which are so ex-
cessive as to shut out the poor
man altogether.
Better call the whole thing
off, gentlemen" says Mr.. Wat
terson.
ct begins to smell already and
before you are done with it it will
stink"
He then says the Democrats
owe their possession of the State
to the 'fatuous, blind folly Of
the Republicans rather than to
any merits or their own.''
He says that more unpopular
leadership than the Democrats
have commonly had can hardly
be conceived, and if preserved
will cost the loss of the State.
He deplores the new tangled
primary" because Of its many
complications and chances offer
ed to the "rich and uncrupulous
to get in their work"
Concluding Mr.. Watterson says
referring to the primary.
I'm short and in fine, call the
id thing off and give the poor
man a chance to get a nomina-
as in days Of yore, without mon
ey and without price"

M'QUOMN RESIGNS
ha9er and Hines Control Commit.
tee That Calls Primary.

That Judge S. w. Hager and
H. B. Hines and their friends
are in absolute control of the
Democratic State Executive COM
mittee was fully demonstrated
Saturday at Frankfort, when
Gov. Beckham's friends were
voted down.
Claims heretofore made that
Hager and Hines were in the sad
die have been rideculed and a few
of the anti-administration faction
would believe that there was a
serious split in the organization.
Gov. Beckham, they believe, was
still in control, and they were of
the opinion that a play was being
made to the galleries. It was
evident, however, that Judge Ha-
gar and Judge Hines meant what
they said, and that unless the
Governor was willing to make
Haly walk the plank he would be
made to suffer.
The threat was considered idle
and the Governor was advised to
pay no attention to it. Saturday,
however, the opportunity was Of
fered for Judge Hager and Judge
Hines to make good, and in a
way unmistakable showed who
was in control of the party or
ganization.
Judge McQuown made a gal
liant fight but he was voted down.
He threatened to resign but all
to no purpose. AS a result Judge
McQuown resigned as Chairman
of the subcommittee. An effort
was made to have him reconsider
but he said his resigntion would
have to stand. It is limited now
that he will resign also as chair
man Of the State Central Commit
tee but this is denied by his
friends. Mr.. McQuown says the
call as adopted is in violation of
the party laws, and he will have
nothing to do with it.
The trouble came up in the
committee when a report differ
ing in the following particulars
from the one offered by Judge
was adopted:
First In that the work of Sc
Letting the precinct officers is
delegated from the State Com
mittee to the County Committees
subject, however, to the submis-
sion of lists by the candidates,
and to approval by the sub-com-
mittee of the officers named by
County Committees, instead of
the State Committee appointing
from lists.
Second In that the returns
from the election are to be can
vassed by the County Committee
and the result certified to SUBJ
committee which will canvass the
returns and declare the result in
stead of having the certificate
come directly from the precincts
to the State Committee and can
vassed by that body.
Third In the total assessment
IF candidates for expenses is fix
ed at $32, 900, instead of $40, 900,
which Mr.. McQuown thinks will
be necessary to defray the cost

Details of
Ne0U Rules
OfF00tbaH
The Length of Gam e
Shortened and ForzUard
Pass AHo7ced.
The Ten Yard Gain Rule
Makes the Deadly Mass
Plays InetfechVe.

The much talked of football rules
for 1906 are out, and players. coachers
and captains are now deep in the study
OF them. The great question is, Of
course, how TO frame up effective plays
that Will be permissible under the new
regula tons.
The most important of the new rules
and definitions are as follows:
The officials Of the game shall be a
referee. two umpires and linesman. 1t
is. however, allowable to dispense with
the second umpire at the discretion OF
the two Institutions involved.
The length of the game has been short
ened by making the two halves each
thirty minutes in length.
The line OF scrimmage for each side Is
an imaginary line parallel to the goal
line and passing through that point OF
the ball nearest the sides own goal line
It will be noted that there are thus two
lines of scrimmage. one for each team.
and the two teams are thus separated the
length OF the ball.
II has also been provided that a player
TO be On the line OF scrmmage must have
both hands or both feet up TO within
one foot Of this line. or he must have one
foot and the opposite hand up TO or with
in one foot of II. He must also stand
with both feet outside the outside foot of
the player next to him. unless he be one
OF the two men standing on either side
OF the snapper back. in which case he
may lock legs with the snapper back
Tripping IS specifically defined as fol-
lows:
"A player trips another player when he
obstructs him below the Rnee with that
part of his leg that is below the knee"
Hurdling is defined and forbidden. Hur-
ding in the open is jumping or attempt
ing TO jump over an opponent who is still
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-09-21

on his feet. Hurdling in the line is jump
ing over or attempting to jump over a
player on the line OF sCrimmaEe. with the
feet or knees foremost within Il distance
of five yards on either side OF the point
where the ball is put in play.
There must always be at least six men
of the side in possession OF the ball on
the line Of scTimmage, and if only six are
on the line one of those not on the line
must have both feet outside the outside
foot OF the player on the end of the line.
Furthermore, no player OF those ordi-
narily occupying the position of center
guard or tackle-tnat is. the five middle
players OF the line-rnay drop back from
the line OF scrimmage on the offense
unless he goes back at least five yards
and another player takes his place on the
line.
The most radical of all changes made,
however. has been the introduction of the
forward pass, the rule for this reading
as follows:
"One forward pass shall be allowed to
each scrtmmage. provided such a pass be
made by player who was behind the
line OF scrimmage when the ball was put
In play, and provided the ball, after being
passed forward. does not touch the
ground before being touched by a player
OF either side
The necessary distance to be gained I'm
three downs has been doubled-that is
the side IN possession of the ball must
gain ten yards in three downs instead of
five. as formerly. This is the most direct
legislation against mass plays.
The rather indefinite expression of
charging" has been changed to start
ing forward beyond the restraining line
in all cases throughout the rules.
The rule about foul play has been am
plifed and specifically covers striking
with the fist or elbow, kneeing, kicking,
meeting with the knee by any player or
striking with the locked hands by line
men when they are breaking through.
Furthermore. a player on defense is for
hidden to strike in the face with the heel
of the hand an opponent who is carrying
the ball. These .Offenses are punishable
but also the loss by the offending team
Tripping and tacklingNthe runner when
clearly out of bounds, piling up on a
player after the referee has declared the
ball dead, hurdling and other acts of I'M
necessary roughness are punishable by a
five yard loss. UnsportSmanlike conduct
or abusive or Insulting language to oppo-
nents or officials is punishable by suspen-
sion for the remainder OF the game
It is provided that tackler who has
fairly tackled by a runner above the knee
shall not be penalized II he slides down
below the knee after making the tackle.
All the officials are expected to penaIize
offenses enumerated under unnecessary
roughness. unsportsmanlike conduct and
disqualification On penalties that would
carry the ball to or across the goal line,
where formerly the distance has been
halved, the ball will now be placed at the
pne ward line
