GUT Down NUMBER
OF THE OFFICIALS
Gettell, Coach at Trinity Has
That to Say About the
Game

Football experts in the east have
given Trinity college. a minor New
England institution, a high place in tn.
ranking of the colleges. Such experts
as Billy Hanna of tho New York Sun,
an acknowledged authority on the
srioaron game. gave the Connecticut
eleven an even higher place in the
seasons ranking than Pennsylvania.
ANY college hat numbers only gao
students and is of as much mport-
G as Trinity must have a coach
that knows his business or must have
a phenomenal lot of material to pick
an eleven from. Professor Raymond
9. Gettell is doing the coaching in
the football line and is one of the
closest students of the game in the
east. Hearkcn to what he has to saw
about the present rules and the game
as It is played:
In general I have no fault to find
with the present rules. and am far
from being Disguised. as most Of the
coaches are. A good offense is able
TO gain. 1t is possible to develop an
attack that will gain ten yards in
the present number Of downs. with
the exception that within fifteen yards
or the goal line 1t Is impossible to
gain with the defense punched up.
This makes 1t necessary to develop
an attack up to the rs yard line and
to score from there on forward passes,
trick plays and criss-cross PLAYS.
Some History
out Of the twenty touchdowns scor.
ed by Trinity this year. no %one-fourth
We're on short runs or short line
plunges.
THE withdrawal Of the restriction
on making forward passes and kicking
when less than five Yards behind the
line of scrimmabe would help the Of
Tense.
THE rules need to be simpljfed
rather than altered or amended in con-
tent. The contradictions and ambigu.
tiles should be removed, but not the
progressive features that have been in
troduced. No team has vet developed
all the possibilities of the open game
the limit has by no means been
reached.
There are too many officials. Two
on the field of play are ample. The
umpire should not keep time as to-
ward the end of quarters he is too busy
watching the time to see the plays.
There should be team work among the
officials just as there is in the eleven.
"Very'often two or more officials see
the same things and often none sees
h violation of the rules. The in
competency of the officials during the
past season has been largely due to
the coMp!eHity of the rules"

Upon reaching an INSTRUCTED point
he should make such deviation from the
official line of travel as to avoid it. Ii
this is impossible he must return i'm

in the opposite direction. When after
leaving the. postoffice he finds he can
not reach his route he must take some
other road though covered by another
carrier. and endeavor to serve the pa
irons. The excuse that the roads are
slippery or too hard TO travel will not
be considered. as each carrier must be
prepared to serve hts route under all
conditions of weather and the roads.

SALOONISTS MUST
PAY SAME FEES

Saloonkeepers must pay the same
fees for obtaining new licenses and
renewals as were formerly charged, so
the supreme court holds in deciding the
first case growing out of the Proctor
law.
The question was raised by a suit
to compel the auditor of Vanderburg
county to collect the usual 81 fee for
renewing liquor licenses and 81 for
taking bonds. He had refused on the
ground that the section of the fee and
salary law providing for these fees
was repealed by the Proctor law.
Judge Monks. who wrote the opinion,
says the word fees used in the Proc
tor law has no reference to the fees
provided for in the fee and salary law.
