FOOTBALL MEN DISCUSS WORK
OF OFFICIALS FOR NEXT FALL

PHILADELPHIA. - Followers Of
American college football are today
looking forward to better work by the
officials in 1918 than was noted in
1872 Most of the big games were
run in faultless style last fall; but
there was considerable trouble about
the handling of the lesser contests
and with view to seeing what can
be done to improve the standing of
all, representatives of 80 colleges,
preparatory and high schools, met in
this city with DR.. J. A. Babbitt of
Haverford college. Mr.. Babbitt is
chairman of the central board of
officials, and there was a long discus
sion regarding desirable and unde-
sirable officials for 1913.
How to avoid the complaints
against officials was approached from
every point, while the central board
was complimented on its work of the
past, and, by motion, requested to
continue along the same line in the
future.
In view of the frequent protesting
of officials about week before a
scheduled football game, it was decid-
ed that in the future each college and
school must send a list of II desir-
allie officials to the central commit
tee, Endorsed by the coach and mana
ger of the team. This list is to be
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-05-20

in the hands of the committee by July
1, when completed schedules will also
be sent. The central committee will
assign the officials for each game to
be played at that time, and no protest
against an official will be allowed
after October l.
Some light upon the officials who
had proved incompetent was thrown
by Frank w. Cavanaugh of Dart
mouth, who declared that old football
players were the most fragrant exam
pies of this sort. He stated that in
many instances the men who had
graduated from their colleges after a
brilliant life on the gridiron knew less
about football rules than men who
had never played. -..=
Glenn Warner, coach of the Carlisle
Indian school, proposed that every
new man proposed by an official
should have the Endorsement of GER
tain number of coaches or have Sc
cured the Endorsement of the athletic
directors of his college.
A proposition was made by w. l..
Crowel1 of Princeton that the central
committee appoint board of ex-
aminers which should inquire into the
technical knowledge of every official
in the game. DIR. Rabbit urged the
early completion of the football SEIZED.

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, May 49,
For the Twenty-fifth Infantry COM

leaders INDUCED In games with the
two tailers of the league merely for
the batting practice.
For the opening game r Company
presented new battery, Davis behind
the mask and Key in the box giving
Warehouse a much needed rest and
releasing Williams for shortstop.
Cullen played in left field The young
ster Key pitched a good game and al
lowed but five hits.
For C Company both Robinson and
Cayson pitched -and both were hit
hard and the team went sky-high in
both the opening aud final innings.
Bowen has certainly distinguished
himself by hitting two clean home
runs. Williams home run to left was
even further. Cloudy found the
pitcher for three hits in five chances.
The A rs. G.. game was even more
one-sided than the opener. Jasper
batted 1000 per cent-four hits in four
chances. Kitchen hit a long one
which his speedy base running made
a home run. Fletcher laid down a
pretty triple, and every one In A
Company lineup made at least one
single. Ramsey pitched splendid
game.
For G Company, Palmer, the old
reliable pinch hitter of the Twenty
fifth fegimental team. hit for four
bags in the third, driving one run in
ahead of him.
The result of this game places A
Company securely in third place in
the series.

MILLS IS LOSER
TO PUNS BY 70

Mills now has one more defeat
alter her name and Punahou has
victory. In fast diamond battle
on Alexander Field yesterday after
noon the Puns defeated the Mills
school nine by a score of 7-6. Puma
hou has never come nearer defeat
inning Mills started off with five
runs which score she increased by
one in the third inning. This rather
unlooked-for event of Mills giving
Punahou a run was due 20 the
pitcher who twirled for the Punahous
in the first frame. Wui was the
Punahou player who let the Mills
boys i'm for five runs in a bunch. He
has usually made good record at
pitching but yesterday for some
reason the Mills batters made hits
off his best curves and shoots and
he had to be withdrawn in the Sec
ond inning with Hitchcock to take
his place.
When Hitchcock stepped into the
box the Mills players soon perceived
the game was not going to be so easy
after all. During the eight innings
that Hitchcock pitched, the Mills
team only@brought in one additional
rum Besides holding down the runs
Hitchcock, in his eight innings, scored
twelve strike-outs. walked none and
allowed but one hit. He was pitch
ing almost as good as he did in the
big no-hit game recently.
Inman, the regular pitcher for the
Punahous, took his position in right
field which he changed for one in
center field for the last few innings.
He again did some excellent playing
in the field, catching several diff
cult flies and playing an errorless
game. At bat, Inman did as well as
in the field, knocking one home run
and scoring two hits.
Mills tried out two twirlers yester-
day afternoon, Kan Moon and Lee,
neither one making very good
records. Each struck out one man
and Lee walked two. The Puma
hous scored thirteen hits off the tow,
and seven of the hits went for runs.
A. zap, the Punahou shortstop.
brought in three runs. In the seventh
frame, Wadsworth, Punahou right
fielder, made a splendid three base
hit off Lee, bringing in three men
and finally himself But for this one
hit of Wadsworth's, the Mills nine
might have won the game and sent
Punahou down to her first defeat.
Luck was with the Punahous. how
