WESTERN MEN BLOCK
FOOT BALL REVISION
Forward Pass Chief Topic in
Discussion of Rules
Modification.

PHILADELPHIA, April 3u.-Foot ball
experts are deadlocked over the forward
pass. The intercollegiate rules COM
nittee. in session at the University Club,
will. in all likelihood. be in session not
only today, but Sunday, and even then
there is a chance of decision being
reached The six rules already agreed
upon are:
First-Player receiving the ball directly
from center may carry it across line of
scrimmage at any point.
Second-Seven men must be on line OF
scrimmage for attack.
Third-Flying tackles prohibited.
Fourth-A division of the game into
four periods of play.
Fifth-No pushing or pulling the man
carrying the ball.
Sixth-Onside kick must go at least
twenty yards beyond line of scrimmage.
AS to the forward pass, the plan to al
low it only back of the line of scrimmage
has influential backing. but its opponents
argue that this would be virtually the
same as abolishing ii. The western col
leges, which in this case are represented
by A. a. Stage of the University of Chi
cago, are a unit in favor of the pass. and
it is not believed that they would stand
for its further curtaiiment.
The scheme to allow II only back of
the line is fathered by Walter Camp of
Yale. who also wants to compel the de-
Tense to line mp its seven line men in
identical positions with the attack. This.
he says. would encourage end runs and
discourage line attacks. which the public
considers more dangerous than end runs.
On this point John c. Bell of this city,
who is Pennsylvania representative on
the rules committee. said today:
LAS regards the effectiveness of such
a requirement in making line ATTACKS
safer, | believe il would he jumping
from the frying pan Tito the fire. 1t

No race that has been run at Pimlico
in years has attracted more attention
J than the Clsbaugh. The race is, of
course. essentially local affair, al
though horses bred i'm Virginia and Penn
sylvania are eligible. Turfmen from
those states have always contributed SO
literally and always have been so much
a part of racing at Baltimore that they
are counted among the locals in racing
affairs.
1t was feared that there might be a
small field for the race after the great
showing made by Chiffon Belle Thurs

BIG FIGHT IN DANGER.
Killing of Mccarthy May Start Cru
SADIE Against July A Affair.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, April 3O-The announce
ment of the death of Mccarthy caused
CONSERVATION in local pugilistic circles
today. The result in its effect on the
Johnson j ffries championship fight sched-
uled for July may be far reaching. With
In the past few weeks there has been a
steadily Increasing movement to stop the
battle between the two great heavy
weights. The ministerial associations of
the east. middle west and far coast sec
tons have been agitating for the sup
preston OF the fight. and the death of
Mccarthy is likely to give incentive to
the crusade against the contest which is
already attracting worldwide attention.
The championship fight is scheduled to
be held at Emeryville small township
on the outskirts of Oakland just across
the bay from San Francisco. When the
contest was first announced the ministe-
rial associations of southern California
entered vigorous protest against the af-
fair both with the governor of California
and the district attorney of the county.
No report came from the state execu-
tive, but District Attorney Donohue an
nounced that he was powerleSS to inter-
fere because of the fact that the Mara
thon Athletic Club was a duly incorporated
club and was permitted by law to hold
sparring exhibitions under a license issued
by the township of Emeryville, in accord
ance with the state regulation.
1t would be possible for the governor
to interfere and stop the proposed fight
on the grounds that 1t was not a sparring
exhibition as required by California regu-
lations. but a prize f1ght pure and simple.
Such action. II taken. would cause the
loss of thousands of dollars already tied
up I'm various enterprises connected with
the scheduled bout For this reason east
ern fight enthusiasts and those with
financial interests at stake are badly up
set by the fatality which occurred in San
Francisco last night.

outcome may not be known for several
