REFEREE eR.pIRoN BOSS.
Duties of the Official ExpIained-Um
 pire Watches for Fouls.

In football, as in every other branch Of sport, officials come in for lot of condemnation cc from spectators simply because they are enforcing the rules. Onside, hurdling and holding are only a few of the expressions which thos~ in the stands shout to the arbiters who have been selected as impartial officials, says Walter EckcrsaIl. That spectators not already informed may know the duties of the referee umpire, field judge, and head linesman, the gridiron contest Of importance, it is important that the duties of each be explained briefly so that when penal ties are inflicted those in the stands may know what rules have been vio- lated. The referee is the head official of the game. His rulings are final and he may forfeit a game whenever any team does not accept his commands He is the sole custodian of the ball and the players must abide by his de- cisfons as to where the ball is declared dead" He may at any time put player out of the game for unsports- must recognize the decisions of the other officials whenever he is in doubt as to certain plays and to which side the ball belongs.
 In order to expedite matters, the referee always blows a whistle, the umpire horn, the field judge whistle which differs in sound from that of the referee. and the head linesman is
 
 ing instrument that differs in sound from those used by other arbiters. It seldom happens that referee levies a penalty of his own volition. Helping the man with the ball, hurdling, start ing before the ball, failure of the of fensive team to have seven players on the line of scrimmage, and tripping in the open are fouls which the referee car call and pena1ize, while he may at any time penalize a team for receiving instructions from the side lines and Ear the guilty person from the in closure. In the great majority of cases the referee 1evies penalties on fouls called by one of the other officials. Under the present rules there is only one 1o-yard penalty and that is for in the 20-yard or neutral zone. If the side in possession of the ball commits foul a penalty of cown is inflicted. If the team on the defense interferes in the zone, the side in possession of the oval receives 10 yards from the point of the preced- ing down and the ensuing distance to be gained shall be rated as first down, 10 yards to gain Fifteen-yard penal ties are numerous, but they generally are inflicted for holding or use of the hands in interference.
 The umpire has absolute jurisdiction over these fouls and the referee must levy penalties accordingly.

The Academy eleven made a show of the Independents on Tuesday after noon, defeating them IS to without being called upon to use the best of their ground gaining combinations. All the strength expected to be shown by the heavy Independents was lacking, the terrific line bucling of Captain Fielding was shorn of its power by the Hveliness of the Academy defense, and they had nothing in the running game that the Academy didn't smother when the two teams met on the State Hos pital grounds.
 Some fumbles by Popham, giving the 4 denny a chance to recover the ball, which was always seized by the alert down the field work of the N. F. A. bCys, were largely responsible for put ting the Academy in position to score, and when the students eleven got within sight of the goal line they had the game to cover the rest of the dis tance to a touchdown.

 For the Academy in this period an- forward pass, making 25 yards in a. run to th two yard line, where he was keeled over by Popham- After one try at the line without gain, Mccormick shot another forward pass to Cough lin, who caught it just inside the line and then fell over for a touchdown. Mccormick failed at this kick for goal al a difficult angle. Score, Academy H. 1ndependents c.
 Before the period was over the Academy had two more points added tc their score by 8 safety made by Eo9Tds P9phsm, who $; stopped ss 8 punt that had downed back of the line by Swan. Score. Academy Is, Independents 0.
