'HURDLING IS A

Football Experts Differ as to the

-
Chicago, Oct 24.-Several western football
officials believe that literal enforcement Of the
hurdling rule is too strict and not in accordance
with the spirit Of the game, and consequently
will not enforce that rule as strictly as was
done in the Chicago Purdue game last Saturday,
or the Michigan Ohio game. This rule is caus,
ing perplexity, for there is no absolute detni-
ton of what constitutes hurdling. The rules
cover certain angles, but new situations are con-
stantly coming up in games which the official
must decide instantly that are not set down
in black and white, and which he must decide
with his football Judgment.

Northwestern, and who was one of the umpires
at the Chicago-Purdue game.
1T takes time and experience to decide OIL
what Is the best Interpretation Of these new
rules, and If We don't have the chance to
experiment with them a bit In minor games,
some decision may spring up at the wrong min
ute IN the biggest game Of the year where two
teams, evenly matched, are battling to q moth
ing to nothing score, that might change the
whole complexion OF the struggle and give one
or. the other an undue advantage. .-=.
