home run throw. 1t came in the seventh
inning. Mcintyre hit a grounder to sec

Suggestion to Have Quarter Five
Yards Back of Line.

PITTSBURG. November 1a.-Washing-
ton and Jefferson College will send three
representatives to the annual meeting of
the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of
the United States in New York December
%. and will suggest a plan for opening up
the game of foot ball if il is decided that
the numerous injuries and fatalities this
season are due to mass plays.
The scheme that will be outlined is to
draft rule which will require the quar-
terback or any other player receiving the
ball to- he five yards back of the scrim-
mage line when the first pass from the
Snapperback is made.
With five yards to cover before the
scrimmage line is reached by the runner.
IL will be impossible to charge through
the opposing forwards. who would
have ample time to break through
and get the man with the ball, no mat
ter how strong the opposing line. This
would force a run out side the tackles, a
forward pass Or Il quick kick of some sort
and would of necessity open up the game.

Good Game Promised.

Tomorrow afternoon there will be one
of the most interesting gridiron battles of
the season, when the A. A. c. and the
Seaman Gunners meet for the District
title at American League Park.
The Seaman Gunners have practically
earned the District championship. and
with plenty of beef to aid a fast back
field they are sure TO make the Virginians
show their best form to win.
The Alexandria Athletic Club has prac-
tically the same team as last year. with
plenty OF weight in the line, while it's
back field is one to rival "Ole Virginia"
Episcopal High School proved easy for
the Virginians, and so far this season
they have not been scored upon. Few
Washington teams have been willing to
play them, owing to the class they have
shown.
Both teams are in the hands of able
coaches and are well drilled in new style
foot ball.
The Alexandrians, under Coach Beverly,
the old V. p. l. star back, have been
drilled i'm the use OF the forward pass
and fake kick. The game practically de-
cides the championship of the south. Both
teams have large and enthusiastic fol-
lowings. and the AleXandrans will be
accompanied by three hundred rooterJ.
