OPPOSES
RULE

Champaign, ILL.,. Feb. 22-"Elimi-
note the annual chopping of the foot
ball rules after this. Merely simplt-
fy them"
This is the opinion of George A
HUFF, director Of athletics at Illinois,
when asked for an opinion on the new
code. Director Huff sees general dis.
satisfaction and unrest If the present
system of changing the rules yearly
is maintained.
Arthur r. Hall, former captain and
now head coach of the Illini. fears that
the new rules will give heavier teams
the same undue advantage they once
possessed. The legislation regarding
the forward pass Is regarded as all
right in the Illinois camp. where the
open game has always been favored
A statement by George A. Huff fol-
lows:
II do not pose as an expert on mod
ern football except thai / have fol
lowed the sport from the viewpoint OF
an onlooker. I believe the time hat
come to eliminate this annual NAL
the sport to have it carpentered year
~. Every fall finds officials. coaches
and players more or less in the air at
to what will develop.
"All future legislation should be
directed toward simplification Of the
old system. 1 furnished the confer.
ence representative to the rule confer.
ence with only two recommendations
One of these was that the rules pro.
hibiting the flying tackle should be
abolished. This rule is simply ridicu'
lous as no. pretense Is made of fol
lowing 1t and officials made no effort
to enforce 1t. 1t is nothing but a dead
letter, yet 1t remains a statute. MY
other suggestion was that the lilnita'
lions on the distance of the forward
pass be removed. 1 was glad that thi.
was DONE"
Arthur R. Hall says: II am afraid
the changes will give the heavier
teams the advantages they formerly
had. l have thought sometimes some
method of equalizing the scoring abil.
ity of teams. of. unequal weights could
be found. Perhaps the heavier team
could be made to gain more yards fol
a first down. Among the recommen'
dations I made was that the penalty
where a, forward pass went over tht
goal line should be lightened. A radi'
cal change was made here. l wal
also in favor of. differentiating between
earned and unearned points and here
again the rules committee made
changes. ! am in favor of a training
school for football officials. There
should be a better method Of select
ing officials who will learn the rule.
and then enforce them without feal
or favor"

it's arrived. They've started the
old plan indigenous to spring. Have
busted with the scheme of picking out
how the teams will finish in the race.
Harmless sport. and one that won't
hurt anybody, although it may make
the prophet look like thirty cents
when the end of the season arrives.
Here's how they look at it.
One of the best of the scrivcncrs in
Detroit is Brer Salsirger, who pur-
veys his hectic view on the pastime
for the Detroit News. Salsinger--his
book: Athletics. Boston. Detroit.
Cleveland. New York, Chicago. Wash
ington. St. Louis.
John h. Foster. who is the New
York soothsayer. also takes his choicc.
He grabs off the Athletics to repeat.
although he states hat if Detroit
doesn't suffer from injuries that the
Tigers may make the going rough.
The rest is Detroit. Cleveland. Chi
cago. Now York. Boston. Washington.
st. Louis.
George G.. Rice peers at the situa-
ton with a pair of Chicago binocu-
lars. His vision: Athletics. Detroit.
Chicago. Cleveland. New York. Bos-
ton. Washington. st. Louis.
Harry Nelly has a touch of local
color and also of St. Louis patriotism.
Behold the tailender's tabulation:

troit. Chicago. st. Louis. Washington.

the crystal and pcrceives the finish

Atlata, May 3.-That Oscar w. I'm
derwood carried Georgia by 1921,
which was more even than predicted
yesterday morning, is borne out by
returns from 143 out of 146 coun-
ties, as received by The Constitution
yesterday and the night before. A
majority of these returns are official; /;
that is, reported after the votes had
been consolidated at noon yesterday,
while most of the others were sent af-
ter unofficial count on the night of the
primaries. In nearly all cases where
the official returns were given later,
they differed only slightly from the
earlier unofficial figures.
Underwood carried 105 of the coun-
ties heard from, while Wilson carried
3S. The three counties missing are

In the 105 counties carried by I'm.

AREA IN
COTTON
THE SAME

Mr. William NJ. Humber has return
ed to the city after visit to his ex-
tensive plantation in the Gifteenth dis
trict, east of Americus. Mr.. Humber
states that the planters, though great
ly behind in farming operations, are
making very good progress consider
ing adverse conditions this spring, and
will make crop yet, though a far
smaller one than last season.
On his own plantation, which is
a large and productive one, cotton
planting is now the order of the day,
Two thousand acres, approximately
will be planted in cotton this year.
Mr.. Humber states, or about the same
area as planted last season when the
crop output was about seven hundred
bales.
Sixty-five plows are operated upon
the Humber plantation and the most
approved methods in agriculture ap.
piled in raising crops of cotton, corn
and hay.

names that are yet to be enrolled
The response to the call of the cluo
officers for the names of all who
wished to enroll their names in the
club has been so general and so
prompt that the membership is al
ready much larger than had been ex-
pected.
1t is the belief of the officers of the
club that Sumter county is already
practically solid for Hudson and that
it will roll up an unusually large vote
for its favorite candidate when the
ballots are cast in August. That Hud.
son is not only strong here but
throughout the entire district and
state is made known by the letters re
ceived by the local club from various
counties in this and adjoining dis
tricts. The local club will be a kim
of head club or general club for the
] entire district.

members.
1t was decided at the recent meet
ing held in Tifton that after the char
ter members had been selected, organ
ization of the new road would be per-
fected as early as possible The name
OF the new road will be the Atlantic
and Northwestern, as it makes direct
connection with the Atlantic seaboard
and runs mainly in the direction in
dicated. 1t will have mileage of
nearly two hundred miles, if it is COM
pleted as now proposed
After the charter has been secured,
and steps will be taken to secure it as
soon as possible, the subscriptions for
stock will be called for. 1t seems from
the interest manifested here that there
will be representative stock subscrip-
tions to be made from Americus to
the new enterprise, which should prove
a distinct success, if 1t is properly
promoted and advertised. Interest in
all the towns and cities mentioned
as well as in other places that will
be included in the number through
which the new road will pass, is very
great and thoroughly enthusiastic.
