stage WILL FIGHT
FOR FORWARD PASS
Chicago Expert Hopes to
Change Opinion of Foot
Ball Committee.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

'AStSoeSu ~ 1ue StdT.
CHICAGO. May 7.-Director stage Of
the University of Chicago will make an
other attempt at the football rules meet
lngs In New York on Friday and Satur-
day to convince the members that the
spectacular game is the best.
Stage declared today he did not con-
slider the unrestricted forward pass as
finally defeated. and will try to show the
other members of the committee that the
Old game to which they have reverted will
not prove as popular as the style he
fought for at the meetings last week.
In declaring his intention. Stage said
he has the backing Of the Midway ath-
1etic board and the West generally. He
said he had not anticipated the sudden
change in sentiment which caused the
adoption Of the rule allowing forward
passes only behind the line Of scrim-
mage.
Since his defeat Stage has given con-
siderable thought to the defense Of long
Forward passes, and when he travels east
ne Will be armed with some new argu-
ments.
1T all came so suddenly. We were not
prepared said the Midway mentor, cat
favor of the unrestricted pass and only
three against it. Then we got to dis
cussing 1t. We were asked what protec-
ton We could provide for the receiver of
the pass, and finally had the vote tied
up. 1t was put up to the chairman of the
committee and he voted against the free
pass.
prohibition Of hard body checking will
keep down the dangers Of injuries due
to receiving long forward passes This
argument did not seem to carry enough
weight to keep the forward pass and
we shall have to spring few additional
ones. I consider that the long forward
pass is not lost to the game for this
year."
Other reforms which Stage will battle
for on the committee floor are to abolish
the kickoff and the goal from touch
down, to count one more point for a goal
from field by drop kick than from place
ment and to allow free substitution of
players so as to afford greater specializa-
ton.
AS to the professors. they cannot see
how the rules adopted wilr provide a safe
game. They look upon it as a return to
old-style foot ball. which was condemned
for its brutality four years ago, and in
sist that the only possible chance for les
sening injuries lies in the forbidding of
pushing and pulling Of the runner. The
Midway authorities predict that if the
rules body sticks to the limited forward
pass there will be another upheaval along
critics of foot ball.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. May 1.-THE Mid
shfrmen lost to Pennsylvania State Col
lege in a we'll played game here today
by the score of 4 to I. The Middies were
outplayed at all stages OF the game, but
their defeat was principally due to their
usual weakness with the stick.
Anderson. the big southpaw, was on
the slab for the Navy and was batted
harder than at any time this season. the
state players getting nine hits, in
Guiding one triple. The visitors played a
heady game throughout. They felded
sharply. though one error, which con-
tributed to the Middies' single run. was
included against them and for the most
part their hits were timely.
PiOlette. who did the twirling for the
Pennsylvanians. was very effective, es-
pecially when things began to look dan
gerous. He gave two free passes. though
they counted for naught. struck out nine
OF the Navy batsmen and allowed only
fou- scattered hits.

PRINCETON, N. j., May I.-Tennis at

snort at Old Nassau. and the undergrad
yates are complaining. with considerable
Justice. Princeton has ten courts for
more than 1,30O students. while Law
renceville Prep School has thirty-two
courts for only 400 boys, and some of
these are too small to hold racquet,
and there is doubt that as large a pro-
portion out Of Princeton's total enroll
ment play tennis, or rather would IKE
to- as is the case at Lawrencevlile
Princeton has club courts. but these are
accessible to only a limited number or
men, and a good many clubmen may be
saen on the univ ersity courts any day.
