FIGHT DRAW

San Francisco. Feb. 3.-Harlem
Tommy Murphy of New York and One
Round Hogan of San Francisco fought
twenty rounds to a draw here
The decision Of the referee was we'll
received by the crowd. From the
start Murphy showed a desire for In
fighting. and the referee was kept busy
forcing h men apart. Murphy hit
well in the clinches but refused to
take my chances at distant lighting.
Hogan's favorite blow was a stiff left
which he landed nearly every time
that Murphy came into a clinch.
In the eighth round Hogan sent
Murphy to the ropes and the New
Yorker palpably was in a bad way.
In the ninth Murphy was against the
ropes when the bell rang. Murphy
landed the greater number of blows
and did the more telling work in the
close fighting. but no time was the
local boy In any apparent danger.
In he tenth Hogan caught Murphy
a hard right on the v and a secono
later was bleeding at the mouth from
a hard left. The majority of the
rounds were even, but In the eigh-
teenth Murphy rushed matters and
had all the better Of the round. His
punches carried a sting. while those of
Hogan had lost their force.
The last round found both men
fighting hard. Murphy repeatedly
rushed into clinches. He slowed up
at the end, Hogan having landed sew
eral hard rights while pushing Murphy
out Of the clinches.

Fargo college for the second time de-
feated the Moorhead normal by the
score Of 33 to IA.
Although the score would indicate a
one-sided contest. Fargo college was
forced to work for every point they
made. and it was not until the second
half that the defeat Of the normal be-
came apparent. The Moorhead aggre-
cation has improved since the last
contest with the hill school, and the
fact that h college has two men on

MANY COLLEGES
BACK UP WILLIAMS
The Minnesota Mentor Finds
Much Support in Rules
Revision Committee

New York, Feb. 3-SuggeSted
changes in football rules for the COM
among the members Of the football
rules committee. which fathered here
yesterday for the regular annual meet
ing that is ligely to last two days. A
sharp fight was anticipated on the
question of the forward pass over the
line of scrimmage. Some committees
men are in favor of limiting it to be
hind the line of scrimmage on the
ground that 1t limits many dangerous
hazards.
The question Of reducing the num-
downs or of increasing the number. Of
downs to five. comes UP early for con
s~tderation. The opinion wat freely
expressed today that something must
be done to moro nearly eqilalize the
attack with the defense and at the
same time insure greater continuity
for offensive plays.
All the members of the committee
of fourteen with the exception of Pro.
sity were expected at the meeting. Pro-
lessor Stage Is believed here to be op-
posed to changes in the present rules
beyond their simplif1cation and his al
ternate. If one Is sent, will be so in
Would Shorten Distance
Those opposed to the forward pass
and the ten-yard rule are of the opin-
ion hat the stronger elevens seldom
win by scores which demonstrate the
comparative strength Of the teams.
These persons also ASSERT the distance
should be lessened and when a team
places the oval within the twenty-five
yard lines. the distance to be gained in
three downs should be shortened even
more.
The "standpatters" are in favor of
giving the present code another years
trial. They believe the game as it now
stands will work out to the satisfaction
of all and In this belief they are go
ing to make their fight. Since the
adoption Of the forward pass changes
have been made yearly in the ruling
and 1t Is hard to conceive of a way
to remove any more restrictions unless
the play Is abolished entirely.
Support DIR Williams
h National College association has
instructed its representatives to vote
Williams of Minnesota. Some Of Will
liams' ideas are to lessen the distance
between the w twenty-yard lines
from ten to seven yards and the dis
tance to be gained inside Of the TWEEN
ty-yard line to the geal line to be
shortened to five yards. DR.. Williams
also is q. strong advocate Of allowing
into the -enemy's territory, which will
do, away with the neutral zone, which
does not permit Of throws more than
twenty yards. 1t Is believed these al
terations> will increase the scoring pos
sibilities of the attacking team.
Other minor changes r favored by
ON of the committee such as a try
at goal when the ball strikes the
ground and then bounds over the cross
bar, the play which gave Princeton a
victory over Dartmouth. But the main
fight will be Q the forward pass.
