STEPS ARE TAKEN TO

Preliminary Meeting Held Last Eve
ming at Harms HoteI-Six
Teams Proposed.

Bowling fans held msetins
last evening at the Harms no.
tel and preliminary arrange
ments were made for the organizing of
a city bowling league for this winter.
These who were there were o. b.
Hampton, Arthur Salzmann, Otto Pat
ting, Louis Heitmann, Frank Wick and
w. NJ. Huston. 1t was the opinion of
those present that a siX-team league
could be formed among the bowlers of
the city, and that the alleys of the
Harms hotel, the Rock Island Club and
the Patting alleys could be utilized
in carrying out a regular schedule of
games. Another meeting will be held
Friday evening at the Harms and ii IS
hoped the plans will materialize then.

he has given them a written statement
to the effect that the point of the ball
was on the line and that in his opinion
Rockford should have been credited
with a touchdown.
Under these circumstances If Rock
ford goes ahead with their threat OF
making official protest, they will not
be protesting on a phase OF the rules.
but they will be questioning the judg
mcat of an Official, which, under the
rules, is impossible. Rule 2S, section
2, says that the decision OF the ref
cree upon all matters not specifically
designated under the duties of other
officials. shall be final" and, accord
ingly, if he says the ball was not over
the line, his ruling cannot be contra
dicted.
Mr.. Hall has served as an official for
several years, has coached within the
last three years, and is thoroughly com
petcnt TO officiate. In addition TO this,
his sense of honor has never been
questioned, and it is childish and in
considerably bad taste for the losers
in last Saturdays game to accuse him
of robbery"

ROCKFORD IN A
CRY OF ROBBERY
Playing Baby Act in Trying to
Explain Defeat at Hands
of Local High.
STATEMENT FROM REFEREE
Loss OF Came Here Puts Crinp in
Championship Aspirations
of SoX City Team.

The members of the Rockford foot
ball team which met defeat at the
hands of the local high school boys
last Saturday have a hard time ex
plailing how it all came about in the
face of the general belief that they
would have walkaway in the game.
They not only failed to run up the
huge score which was expected, but
they even failed to get the big end of
the small number OF points which
were made. The score was ) to >
against them, and the Rock Island
boys outplayed them at every stage
of the game. This defeat put huge
crimp in their championship aspira-
tons and hurt them so badly that
they have lost their heads so far as to
explain their defeat with the word
robbery and make threats of en-
tcring formal protest with the officers
of the state athletic association.
The talk of protesting the game is
childish inasmuch as the play over
which the protest arose is so thor
Ioughly covered by rules that when one
protests he merely shows his ignor-
ance of the rules. The Rockford play
ers. their coaches, and the Moline boy
who served in the capacity Of umpire
of the game, have all made the state
ment that the visiting team made n
touchdown in the first half of the game,
but that unfairness on the part of the
referee, or ignorance of the rules,
caused that official to declare the play
not touchdown.
The Protested Play.
Rockford gained possession of the
ball on Rock Islands five-yar dime and
in three mass plays failed to carry it
over. On the third play, however, it
lay so close to the line that it was a
mere matter of inches. Referee V. c.
Hall saw that the ball, which was ly-
ing with its long axis parallel to the
goal line, was not on or over the line,
and he at once turned and signaled to
the linesmen and pronounced the ball
as being in possession of the defend
ers of the goal-Rock Island. BY this
time the ball had been rotated On its
axis, as is required of il before it is
put in play, and the Rockford captain
saw that the end now was on the goal
line, and he at once delayed the game
and protested that his team had made
touchdown. Rule 81, section 5, says
that the forward point of the ball shall
count in measuring the position of the
ball, and the Rockford captain made
this rule his point. He failed to note,
however, that the same section states
that the ball shall not be rotated on
its axis before being measured, and
that on these grounds the ball had not
touched the line and was really under
the rules the property of the defend |
ing team, as the referee had already |
ruled. This rule was not gone into in |
detail at the time of the protest, and |
the Rockford boys decided after the |
game that they had been treated I'M
fairly, and it did not occur to any of |
them that they really had no grounds |
to base any protest.
